Mufumonk Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 :laugh: :applause: Nice. Is the quote from a bit? I have only heard Rant in E minor which is one of the most solid comedy albums ever. It's from an interview although he may have used it in a bit as well. One of my favorites: Your children aren't special... Then there's the Jesse Helms/Rush Limbaugh bit....... http://youtube.com/watch?v=igvJ1Mew6Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Zornography Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I agree with the age thing for the OP, he may want to broaden his horizons in the racial aspect if he makes another poll to avoid some name calling and choice words of others. With that said...Chris Rock is one of my all time favorites and I am still hoping he has another HBO special very soon. It has been about 4 years since his last so he should be due for one in the near future. Katt Williams is moving up the list. Dane Cook has fallen off the list because he got overexposed very fast. I am too young to enjoy the greatness of Pryor and Carlin and Cosby, but I know they have set the landscape for how stand up comedy is today.

praise_gibbs Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 [Other] When you have a list of 'Best Stand-up Comedians' and George Carlin is excluded from said list, whether on purpose or accident, you deserve a punch in the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDRedskinsFan Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I strongly disagree with him politically, but my favorite is Lewis Black. He bases all of his material off of current events most of us know about, and he never runs out of material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSilverMaC Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 How the **** did frank caliendo get on your list? He's so annoying, I'd love to beat him unconscious with a padded nerf bat everytime I have to see his lame Madden impersonation. Sam Kennison and Eddie Murphy should be on your list.

mojobo Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hard to choose a favorite, don't know if anyones ever heard of Henry Phillips but he's pretty funny. The funniest standup I've heard in a while is Kyle Cease's last comedy central special. Other than that Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are probably the top comedians right now. Also glad nobody said Carlos Mencia, I have no clue why his show is even on the air anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsBry Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Growing up, I was such a huge Bill Cosby fan. I had a bunch of his tapes and I wore them out. I really like the cringe comedy of today but I can't say any of those comedians are my favorite. The Coz will always be my fav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuriousD Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm not a big fan of everyday stand up. Most of it is bad, second-rate garbage that's painfully unfunny to watch. One guy who stands out as a real original for me, is Eddie Izzard. If you enjoy British humor and haven't already seen his "Dressed to Kill" video, give it a try. Be warned though, it's about as far from George Carlin, Richard Pryor and the whole Blue Collar Comedy Tour as it's possible to get. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel25 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 richard pryor was the greatest. just to name some of my favorites in no order: eddie murphy martin lawrence george carlin jerry seinfeld dave chappelle dane cook rodney dangerfield cedric the entertainer chris rock robin harris jeff foxworthy andrew dice clay i'ma stop there, cause i laugh at almost anything, and this list will go on forever.
