Bill Cosby
Eddie Izzard
George Carlin
Sinbad
Elaine Boozler
Stephen Wright
Dennis Leary
Dennis Miller
Galagher
Richard Pryor

Richard Jeni

and many more...I'll add on later

DENNIS FUCKING MILLER


That's it.

George Carlin
Jim Norton
Nick DiPalo
Louis C.K
Dave Attell
Dane Cook
Kathleen Madigan
Maria Bamford

Peter Sellers in the Party and Dr Strangelove.

Jim Gaffigan

I saw him once on Comedy Central doing stand-up and he was hilarious. I downloaded the MP3 of his act and I still love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.

He is the guy in Super Troopers that is the driver when the cops play the "Meow Game."

Such a great and funny guy.

Most of mine have been listed, I'll add David Cross though.

Ah, you got both my favourite comedians.

Dennis Leary
Richard Jeni

Bill Cosby was also good, back in the day.

Lewis Black from Daily show with John Stewert
George Carlin

others I cant remember right now

I like Steve Martins standup & Emo Philips is wacked out.

Bill Hicks was one of the funniest tell it like it is comedians ever.

dave hughes i think his name is. hes an aussie so most people probably wont have heard of him

George Carlin

Some newer great comics, Jim Gaffigan (Grondar, I saw that one, too.. great stuff :) ) , and Dave Attell

Dave's cd "Skanks for the memories" is a must have!

Groucho Marx
The Marx Brothers.

George Carlin was great.

Right now I really like Chris Rock. He needs to stop making movies and get back to doing more stand up.

He's dead I know, but Bill Hicks is god.

Dennis Leary is a riot. He's top dog. After him George Carlin. Eddie Murphy's old stand up gigs where awesome. Chris Rock is good too.

dennis miller
sam kinneson
dennis leary
the amazing jonathon

How about Robin Williams. His improv material is hysterical.

Someone whose name I probably wouldn't mention had I not just watched a 100th birthday tribute - Bob Hope.

I know most of you are too young to remember his movies or TV shows, but he entertained America for six decades

On the longevity of his career, he said, "Ive performed for 11 Presidents . . . . . . . and entertained 6."

Chris Rock
George Carlin
Stephen Wright
Dennis Leary

Ryan Stiles
Colin Mochrie
(especially those two together)
Jon Stewart

Eddie Murphy

I'm suprised to see that no one has listed Lenny Bruce, his stuff is funny, dirty, and at the time he was doing stand up very dangerous.

Also, Richard Pryor...He is what Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy aspire to be as comedians. They've both cited him as a role model in their careers as comedians.

Damn funny too

Mitch Hedberg

Gabriel Iglesias

Lewis Black & Eddie Izzard.

I got to agree with ya rougue49 Eddie Murphy in his heyday

DELIRIOUS!!!

Roseanne (Back in the day)
Eddie Murphy
Bill Cosby
George Carlin
Richard Pryor
Robin Williams
Dave Chapelle

Stephen Lynch.. I caught him on Comedy central a while back and he is perhaps the funniest man i have ever seen.

Basically, he plays these childish melodys on his guitar adn adds extremely vulgar adn dirty lyrics to them..

Very funny man and he ahs realeased two cd's both of which i highly recommend.

David Cross is mine. How can you not like angry atheist humor?

Dennis Miller and Sam Kineson

ynh- thanks for mentioning one of the masters!

Current? Steven Wright!!!!

I used too like Bill Hicks and Peter Sellers
A good comedian from over here who would never hit it off in the U.S.A.(Although u never know) Peter Kay he is very funny but it is mainly about british life holidays family etc.

Martin Lawrence

Rodney Dangerfield
This guy could make me laugh till I cried. He's in really bad shape right now after some operations. Hope he pulls through.

I'll have to add two that I forgot to my list. (I was tired:))

Robin Williams
Steve Martin

Both classics

Richard Pyror
Jack Black (I love his music!)
Steve Martin
Dave Chapelle
Lewis Black
Jon Stewart
Bill Hicks
Dennis Miller
George Carlin
Robin Williams

Bob Nelson
Dennis Miller
RobinWilliams
Dave Chappelle
Jerry Seinfeld
David Cross
Eddie Griffin
Chris Rock
Bill Hicks
Stephen Lynch

The man George Carlin
Andrew Dice Clay
Sam Kinison
David Cross
Call me crazy but I really get a kick out of Carrot Top

dave chapelle
carlos mensia
chris rock
denis leary
eddie murphy
dana carvey

ok, in no order of preference...;
robin williams,
billy connelly,
and one no-one here has likely heard, or heard of; brendan lovegrove

Right now I think its

Dave Attel
Carlos Mencia
Leary and

no thats about it. Leary's material holds for a long time, especially all his family stuff. Dave reminds me of the days gone by and Carlos is just funny.

And how could I forget... probably cause he's dead.

BILL HICKS was a fuggin genious!!!!!

The top 6 in no order, except for Eddie:

*Eddie Izzard (Probably the smartest comic ever)
*Mitch Headburg (WAY better than Stephen Write, whom he's often compaired to)
*Kevin James (I wish he'd do more standup)
*Dane Cook (best club comic touring right now)
*Doug Stanhope (no other comic has shown their penis as much as him)
*Sara Silverman (My future wife as soon as I can figure out how to knock off Jimmy Kimmel)

Oops, I forgot to throw Bill Hicks in my list.... Make it top 7.

Robin Williams and George Carlin! Yehaw! Those 2 guys are hilarious. The best part, is that all of Georges stuff makes sence, like his ideas.

Jasper Carrot gets one of my votes. British Comedian -- his timing is great

Here's a clip about airports and baggage handlers

http://www.renaissance59.fsnet.co.uk...20Handlers.mp3

And here's a piss take of the Magic Roundabout

http://www.renaissance59.fsnet.co.uk...Roundabout.mp3

W A R N I N G - The above might only be understood by British listeners, and the American amongst us may just wonder why we fight wars together :)

Mine is the girl that play Fez's girlfriend Caroline on That 70's show. Mostly because I think she's cute.

I also vote for Bill Hicks, may he rest in peace.

Brian Regan

George Carlin by FAR. He points out the often times obvious, but things you really havent thought of before. Just saw him live not to long ago..he comes out to the stage and first thing out of his mouth is "you know what you dont here in the news ever....pu$$y farts" !!!! pure genious!

Hicks is good too "i think drugs have done some good things, i really do and if you dont think drugs have done good things i want you to do me a favor...go home tonight and take all your albums, and all your tapes, and all your cd's and BURN em...cuz you know what...the musicians who have made all that great music whos enhanced your lives throught out the years..........really f%#@! high on drugs".. ))

Definately Robin Williams all the way.....
Mrs. Doubtfire is one of my favorite movies
I'm starting to like Chris Tucker also
Rodney Carrington (sex related comedian)

WOW did anyone say Seinfeild or however you spell his name? I didn't care for his show or him but I would have thought someone would have thrown into the circle.

Dennis Leary in his prime would have to be my fave. The no cure for cancer cd is still funnier than poo. And thats funny

Another Jasper Carrot clip - 'America'

http://www.renaissance59.fsnet.co.uk...%20America.mp3

Denis Lery is a fucing pisser. Is has gotta be my fave with Chris Tucker.

chris rock is the man.
bill hicks was the man.

Mitch Hedburg, Kevin James, Zach Galifianakis, and, of course, Stephen Lynch. His CDs are good, but he's amazing live, see him if you get the chance.

George Carlin
Denis Leary
Bill Hicks

Andrew Dice Clay ('cmon.. its the Diceman!!)
George Carlin (I love his sarcasm)
Richard Pryor
Jerry Seinfeld (clean and funny)
Tim Allen
Kevin James (also clean and funny)
Dave Chapelle
Rodney Dangerfield
Rodney Carrington (if Dice was from Oklahoma)

Sid Caesar
Jerry Seinfeld (just saw him in concert last month)
George Carlin
Bill Cosby

Don Rickles could always make me laugh.

i'd like to add to my little list...

Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna).

dennis miller....althought i rarely agree with what he says

cant believe no one has said brian regan....now that is one funny stand-up comedian.
other than him, dave chappelle, chris rock, robin williams, george carlin, d.l. highley, steven lynch, jon stewart, and the one man that always makes me laugh, stephen colbert from the daily show

Ok, George Carlin tops the list! Nobody better than him!

I really enjoyed a guy named Zach Galifianakis I thought he was hilarious. However, my favorite has to be:

Lewis Black.

That is all.

Im a little surprised nobody has mentioned Redd Foxx yet.

George Carlin
Carlos Mensia
Eddie Izzard
Dennis Leary
Peter Sellers
Chris Rock
Robin Williams
George Lopez

Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Dave Chapelle, Martin Lawrence, & John Leguizamo.

Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy all the way.

in this order:

lee evans
eddie izzard
ricky gervais

Ok, without a doubt... NEIL HAMBURGER.

I am obsessed with him, I never really hear about anyone else being into him, which is a huge shame.

Other, more popular favorites: Dane Cook, Lewis Black, Mitch Hedberg, & Dave Attell.

Stephen Wright and George Carlin without a doubt.

Steven Lynch and Brian Regan are comic geniuses.

Cynthetiq posted about him up above your post somewhere, paj. Pay attention, sir. ;)
I like his bit about how his uncle was paid not to grow corn on his farm.

I caught that one, too. It was fuckin' hilarious!

I'd like to add Steve Harvey. He has a rhythm like no one else.

Eddie Izzard
Stephen Wright
Christopher Tidus...I thought his show sucked but I caught his act in Florida and at the time was the funniest damn thing I had seen.

Jeff Foxworthy
Bill Engvall

Top 2, no question. As for the rest...

Lewis Black
Denis Leary
George Carlin
Ron White
Jim Breuer
Dana Carvey
Robin Williams

In order to me....
Sid Caesar
George Carlin
Bill Cosby
Jerry Seinfeld
Bob Hope

Hurrah! i was beginning to think that no one would see sense and mention the god of comedy that is Billy Connelly!

And Lee Evans, probably not well known in the US for his stand-up.

I know he's not a comedian (or is he?!), but i think George Dubya Bush is fuckin' hilarious!!

All time = Richard Pryor

Current = Kathleen Madigan

SO many good ones past and present [sticking to satnd-up not counting genuinly funny comedic actors and entertainers]...

Eddie Murphy [when he ws funny]
Sam Kinisan
Chris Rock
Bob Schimmel
Colin Quinn
Dave Attel
Carlos Mencia
Jim Norton
Patrice

So many more...

ok...i saw this guy on comedy central one time who sat at a piano and played it and made some seriously funny shit up, he didnt really sing the piano was just kind of part of the background music. does anyone know who this is? he is seriously one of the funniest comedians ever.

Zach Galifinakis did that on one show on there.
YaWhateva, the guy you saw, did he have a beard?

Yes he did.

Stephen Wright.

Some old, some newer, most from the other side of the atlantic.

Tommy Cooper
Eric Morcambe
Eddie Izzard
Billy Connelly
Barry Humphries
Steve Coogan

We're probably thinking of the same man, then.
The one I saw was where he had a womens' choir singing in the background while he pulled big sheets of paper off of a giant pad marked with writing.
Then he stripped down to ballet tights and started twirling and dancing to the choirs' singing.

Does any of this sound familiar, YaWhateva? :lol:

hahaha ya thats definitely him. Is it that Zach Galifinakis guy?

If all that I described happened in theshow you watched, then, yup, it was Zach Galifinakis. :)

Jonathan Winters
Robin Williams
George Carlin
Steve Martin
Richard Pryor
Jack Black
Chris Rock
Dennis Miller
Margaret Cho
Red Skelton

BIG fan of standup comedy here! I really like the following:

George Carlin (of course)
Richard Pryor (goes without saying)
Dennis Miller
Robin Williams
Sam Kinison
Eddie Murphy (back in the Raw days)
Ellen Degeneres (before her tv show and all the controversy)
Eddie Izzard
Henry Rollins (Maybe not a textbook definition of a standup comic, but he's pretty damn funny when he wants to be)
Chris Rock
I enjoyed Roseanne's stand up when she first made it big
Bernie Mac
Steven Wright
and, yes, I like Carrot Top. If you can get those annoying phone commercials out of your mind and go see him live, then he's pretty funny.

Also, if you enjoy Southern and redneck humor, I highly recommend picking up a dvd called the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It's sort of a redneck Kings of Comedy. Even though a lot of the things they talk about are adult-related in theme, there's practically no profanity. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. It has these four comedians:

Ron White
Larry the Cable Guy
Bill Engvall
Jeff Foxworthy

Woody Allen is my all time favorite. To me, he's the funniest person out there. The Marx Brothers are also a riot. Especially Chico.

Sorry, HE IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL.

Favorites:

George Carlin
Dave Chappelle

I saw it live...AND own both CDs of it.

Yeah, I think they're alright, why'd you ask ;)

thank you sir

Chris Rock...his last HBO special is an all time classic.

Then of course Carlin, Miller, and the great Dice Man.

George Carlin
Dennis Miller
Chris Rock
Carlos Mencia
Lewis Black
Bill Engvall
Jeff Foxworthy
Ron White
Robin Williams
Red Skelton
Stephen Lynch
I could go on forever.

Sarah Silverman

1. She is Hot.

2. She is funny in an offensive way.

3. She can somehow get away with saying anything.

She used to be on Mr Show but now is on Crank yankers and has done a few bit parts in different movies and shows.
