what is your favorite stand up comedian

mine is George Carlin, no one is better than him

George Carlin
Robin Williams
Chris Rock

George Carlin - If you understand politics than he's by far the best.


Robin Williams - If you don't understand politics then Robin takes #1. It's a shame he hasn't done a new stand up skit in a long time.

didnt he have one about 3-4 years ago on hbo? but ya he does need a new one

Lately my favorite is Ron White.

Richard Pryer "The man who started it all!" No one is as great as he is and never will be.

and
George Carlin
Robin Williams

Dane Cook. Hilarious!!!

Bill Hicks

Richard Pryer
eddie murphy
George Carlin
Robin Williams
Steve Martin

George Carlin w00t

Does Jim Carrey qualify?

im not sure if he's done stand up so no, but he is rly funny

stand up comedian...JOHNNY LEVER LOL

chris rock

Billy Conolly

Lee Evans

Steve Martin
Jim Carrey

Reggie Mcfadden is cool.

Anyone know where one can download some comedy sets?

Jim Carrey wasn't very good in standup. The guy is funny to watch but his act doesn't hold up well without the visuals.

What I want to know is how this list got so long without one mention of Dave Chappelle...

With Jim Carry you have to see him live or on tv for the stand up to work...hes very animated. Without it its mediocre...seeing it makes the whole thing freaking hilarious!

As for my fav:
Old School-

• Richard Pryor
• Robin Williams
• Denis Leary
• George Carlin

New School-

• Dave Chappelle
• Dane Cook
• Louis Black
• Mitch Hedberg

Proabably Dane Cook and Jeremy Hotz, both extremely funny.

Thank you, Shun Di.

You guys are forgetting about a very funny guy: Rodney Carrington
Dave Chapelle is good too.

Its gotta be Chris Rock for me,

"I can tell a puerto-rican anywhere. That's not Pochahontas, thats Jennifer Lopez!"

"You don't need to work out if you gotta gun. You got pecks? I got TEC's!"

Hans Teeuwen, but I guess none of you has ever heard of him

Who???

Rodney Dangerfield, Jonathan Winters, just a couple from 'the old school'.

Ahh yeah I dont think that there is much Comp for this one at all
No Contest

GEORGE CARLIN EASILY BLOWS ANY COMEDIAN AWAY
reason :(he doesnt do the easy comedy like everyone else his comedy actually requires a real brain)

Ron White
Chris Rock
Carlos Mencia

Jack Dee

Robin Williams
and that one guy on son in law the movie that really jokes around and he is also in the army now.

Dane cook and pablo fransisco are comedic gods... It is too bad that Will Ferrel doesnt do stand up, Im pretty sure he is the funniest man on the face of the planet. Props to Richard Preyer also

Carl Barron just blows all other comedians out of the water !!

Anybody see any of Andy Griffith's one man shows or heard the recordings? If you saw the movie 'No Time For Sergeants' and thought it was funny, his one man show of the same title was absolutely hilarious. His dialogues on baseball and the opera, ahhhh, you'ld have to hear them. Where to listen to them? I would like to know.

DL

Pauly Shore, yeah he's funny too. Biodome, lol.

Russel Peters

I like Peter Kay.
Im not into much old comedy, I think different comedians appeal to different generations because comedy is always changing and whats funny now will seem outdated in 10 years.

Both Tim Allen and Whoopee Goldberg do it for me.

love home improvement, watch it every morning
and whoopee is pretty good but ive only seen 1 hbo show so i cant rly tell


i dont know why so many ppl like him, hes okay, but i dont like comedy where you just make up stuff which is never true. he goes thru situations but i never find them funny b/c none of it is true at all



havnt seen that movie for a good 5 years but its good

and its nice to see that another newb replied to a thread thats really old, but at least its mine

Definitely: Dave Chappelle lol

Chris Rock!

hes pretty good but way too many racist jokes, against white people

I've watched him. He's very funny and his cuts go both ways. He calls it the way he sees it and all to often, he's correct.


DL

i dont see how it is correct tho, i just guess that it is b/c im not racist and alot of ppl are

Carlos Mencia is also insanely racist! He's not on the Mind of Mencia on comedy central, but on his specials *WOW*... the whole show is about racism, every joke.

i was watching seinfeld last night, george likes banya's(i think thats his name) jokes and jerry hates them. george says that he likes them b/c you dont have to think. thats why i hate alot of the comedians, b/c they dont make you think, i love ppl like dennis miller and robin williams who have extremely detailed jokes.

He is correct because he is pointing out how racism is used in both directions. You don't have to be racist to see racist behavior.
