In the United States, the style was popularized by comedians such as Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Robert Klein, Richard Pryor, Jay Leno and David Letterman in the 1970s, continued by Bill Hicks, Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano, Mitch Hedberg and Ellen DeGeneres in the 1990s, and is currently practiced by comedians such as Louis C.K. , Dave Chappelle, Dylan Moran, George Lopez, Russell Peters, Rex Navarrete, Demetri Martin, Patton Oswalt, Brian Regan, Chris Rock, Nick Swardson, Dane Cook, Daniel Tosh, Jim Gaffigan, Carlos Mencia, Carl Barron, Craig Ferguson, and Garrison Keillor. It is also very popular in Britain, with comics such as Victoria Wood, Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, Jack Dee, Peter Kay, Jason Manford, Michael McIntyre, Lee Mack and Lee Evans. The humor, based on the premise of "It's funny because it's true," consists of observations made about sometimes very minor and superficial aspects of Western culture: from airline peanuts to the Jared Diet to the lines at Walgreens. Jokes often begin with the phrase, "Did you ever notice?... " or "What's the deal with... ?"
  • Observationshumor, form av komik som bygger på att komikern kommenterar något som han/hon har sett, ofta något vardagsfenomen. Denna typ av humor är vanlig bland ståuppkomiker, vars anekdoter ofta börjar med idag klichéartade uttryck som "Något lustigt hände mig på vägen hit" eller "Har ni tänkt på en sak?"
