WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have been going through my comedy albums and realize I need to get some more. It gets old listen to the same stuff. So ES what should I get. I have or have heard. All Chappelle's stuff David Cross (shut up you ****ing baby, its not funny, and an unknown album that makes fun of James lipton, talks about being in Seattle airport ect) Bill Hicks (Rant in E minor) All Carlin Paul Mooney (R.A.C.E.) Patton Oswalt (werewolves and lollipops, feelin' kinda Patton) Demitri Martin Lewis Black (heard it all I think) Mitch Hedgeberg (strategic grill locations) Jim Gaffigan (beyond the pale) My fav's are Patton, Cross, and of course Carlin and Hicks. So this is my taste, what am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rincewind Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 If you only have Strategic Grill Locations, I would say get Mitch's other album 'Mitch Altogether', it comes with a DVD of his Comedy Central special. I would also recommend Dmetri Martin's 'Person' and Mitch Fatel's 'Miniskirts and Muffins'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these comics are genius in their own way. Demitri reminds me a lot of Mitch. I said that to a big Mitch fan and I think he wanted to beat me up. I'll have to check out Mitch's other work. Personally though, I like the comics that have a view on things and don't just do word play like Mitch and Demitri. But, no doubt they are hilarious and deserve a spot among the elites.

rincewind Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 How the hell did this thread get this far without mentioning Eddie Murphy?Get "Raw" and "Delirious" Those aren't officially released on cd. If you want edgy though, check out Lenny Bruce... and get more Bill Hicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonian Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I highly recommend Daniel Tosh's "Completely Serious." He is the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Ya know Rince, I watched a couple Lenny Bruce (Carlin's Idol being the only reason) clips on youtube and didn't really find him funny. It was more of he was disecting human behavior and language, which is probably why Carlin loved him. Maybe I didn't see the right clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 I highly recommend Daniel Tosh's "Completely Serious." He is the man! I've heard Tosh. He is pretty damn funny. Thanks for the suggestions. BTW, when did Bruce die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he OD'd. He talks fast, the first time I listened to him I wasn't prepared for that. But yeah, he's a deeper thinker. People at the time couldn't look past the bad language he used. Hugh Hefner was a big supporter of his, so were people like Allen Ginsburg and Bob Dylan. You can argue that modern standup comedy starts with Lenny Bruce.

WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Louis CK. Just watched his Showtime special .... I was acutally about to mention him. I've liked what i've heard and he sounds like one of those common sense/be happy with what you got comedians. I saw one bit he was talking about how no one should ever complain on an airplane because you are sitting in air going 300+ mph and if that isn't enough for you then **** off... or something like that. I like his style and I watched his show a couple times. Might be one I pick up. I often hear Lenny Bruce referred to as one in the trinity.
