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.

I still like Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and a bunch of others - way too many to have a few favorites.

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.

Smother's Bros - yeah forgot them as well. IIRC Tommy is a Champion Yo-yo 'er.

"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.'"

Real good standup on XM radio. Both old and new comedians. Very entertaining when talk radio gets a little tired.

Sam Kinnison...dang, but I miss him.
George Carlin always is funny as far as I'm concerned.

Black adder would be my all time favourite comedy series.

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.

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.

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:http://www.brianregan.com/brians_brain.html#
I LOVE his bit about little league baseball (which isn't available to hear on the website).

I am also a big fan of Ron White and Bill Engvall....which both need some new material.
