Who are your favorite comedians? I like Lewis Black, Ron White's one bit is good (write some more material, man!) and Jerry Seinfeld is always good for a chuckle. Nitch Hedberg us great - if you're in the right mood. There are a few others whose names escape me.
-
I think my favorite is Jay Leno for his ability to serve up funny social and political commentary that, in most cases, is more biting than many newsmen's.
John Stewart is very funny, too, but I haven't yet formed the habit of tuning him in regularly on my old C-band.
Chris Rock is hilarious, but I'm always holding my breath - waiting for a leftist comment.
-
Bill Hicks and Billy Conolly. I don't always agree with ol' Bill, but he was mighty funny.

bobby collins is #1
"what the hell do you want now?".. on the inside... "OK pooky" ... on the outside....
bobby slaton
doug stanhope
jim norton
lewis black
joe rogan
john pinette
there's so many...
-
Is this limited to just stand-up or does it include comedic actors and SNL types? That Hedberg guy is pretty funny. I watch the BET stand-up show once or twice a week - it always has some no-name new folks that are funny as hell. I'd tell you their names, but I can't remember them. I still like Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and a bunch of others - way too many to have a few favorites.
-
Lewis Black and Kevin James.
then there's jim carey- not stand up, but funny as hell.
-
Chris Rock is the funniest stand-up currently, IMO.
-
Wildalaska But seriously, I'm pretty darn funny.
-
I like Jon Stewart- I don't watch much stand up, but from what I've seen he's pretty damn funny.
-
Rodney Dangerfield, Milton Berle, Red Skelton, Johnny Carson, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., Amos & Andy , Abbot and Costello,Rowan&Martin, Lewis Grizzard.... RIP.
Richard Pryor [ especially the "Mudbone" era]
George Carlin.
Jeff Foxworthy
-
One vote for Dave Chapelle!
Love, James

Robert Schimmel (spelling ?)

Yeah, Mr. "Multiple .308 to the back" was pretty funny too.
Love, James

Robin Williams never fails to crack me up.
A couple of weeks ago I saw the Smothers Brothers do a show. They've mastered the art of being funny without being raunchy, pretty much a lost art in today's world.
-
Forgot about Robin Williams - which does remind me of Jonathan Winters.
Smother's Bros - yeah forgot them as well. IIRC Tommy is a Champion Yo-yo 'er.
-
Yeah, I'd forgotten about Tommy's yo-yo talent. Part of their show is the Yo-Yo Man. He's pretty good with it. They're also accomplished musicians.
Jonathan Winters - there's another blast from the past.
-
Along with most of the ones mentioned so far, I'll throw Mitch Hedberg's name in. He basically just stands there saying the randomest things, but for some reason it's hillarious
"you know, you shouldn't wave at people, because what if somebody doesn't have any arms? Then you're just rubbing it in their face. 'Look, I have hands, I can pick things up with them.'"
He's coming to my school next Tuesday.
-
Dave Chapelle, Lewis Black, John Stewart, George Lopez (stand up not the sitcom), Steve Colbert on Daily Show as well (great deadpan).
Real good standup on XM radio. Both old and new comedians. Very entertaining when talk radio gets a little tired.
-
Early George Carlin and Steven Wright.
Oh, and Tim Conway.
-
Dennis Miller. A born-again Republican...who'da thunk it?
Sam Kinnison...dang, but I miss him.
George Carlin always is funny as far as I'm concerned.
Regards,
Rabbit.
-
Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Rodney Carrington for his song about a twelve inch pickup truck or similar, Chris Rock, R.Williams, Rowan Atkinson.
Black adder would be my all time favourite comedy series.
-
Robin Williams is strange. It seemed like he was going years without being funny, just doing crappy movies and doing unfunny appearances, then I saw him on "In the Actors Studio" (or whatever that stuffy actor interview show is called) late last year, and he was HILARIOUS. Had me, my mom & my dad in physical pain from laughing. He was all over the map (as usual), but it worked again.
George Carlin seems to go in cycles: plain funny, wierd but still sorta funny, crappy/deranged, back again. I like how he will go off on literally ANYONE and ANYTHING on Earth. During one routine, just as I was getting annoyed that he sounding like a doctrinaire liberal, he went and declared atomic war on feminists. :shock:
Sam Kinnison was funny as hell, vulgar and awful sure, but he used it as a tool to amplify his humor, rather than as a substitute for humor, if that makes any sense.
Haven't kept up with Chris Rock, which is a little wierd since I liked the stuff I saw when I saw it.
-
Jay Leno,not only for his humor,but he is a motor head too and Wildalaska is right up there:)
-
George Carlin
Dennis Miller...going to see him again next month
Dave Atell
John Stewart's stand-up is good
Denis Leary's No Cure For Cancer is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life. His stand-up was great.
-
Ron White (seeing him next month in Jackson, TN)
Dennis Miller
Bob Goldthwait (sp?)
All of the Monty Python troupe, individually and collectively
-
Mitch Hedberg, hands dow. If you've never heard his album "Strategic Grill Locations" then you need to. I also like Brian Regan, Larry The Cable Guy, Michael Richards, etc...

Brian Regan
Now that is a funny guy.
"My doctor asked me if I wanted tri-focals after my eye test. I told him I couldn't even imagine getting used to that...
Hey, there's a fly...
There's a plane!
THERE'S ALPHA CENTARI!!"
-
Brian Regan
kills me. really i almost died. i couldnt stop cracking up. his bit about prank calls is the best.
-
Brian Regan is my favorite. I saw him live at a comedy club and I laughed so hard and for so long that my stomach hurt afterwards. My favorite bit is the one about the peanut butter and jelly in a jar.

I think he does that bit on the video that's available on his website:

I LOVE his bit about little league baseball (which isn't available to hear on the website).

Bob Newhart, George Carlin, Robin Williams, and Victor Borge.

A couple weeks ago, my wife and I went to see Larry the Cable Guy here in Dallas. Great show, he is one of my favorites.
I am also a big fan of Ron White and Bill Engvall....which both need some new material.
