Favorite Comedian

[Mr. Anderson]

Mine is DEFINITLEY Pablo Francisco. The "Little Tortilla Boy" skit pretty much cut off my air supply for 10 minutes with laughter.

[Ledhed]

Eddie Izzard, David Cross, Henry Rollins, Mitch Hedburg, there's too many to choose from.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!

I love Pablo Francisco, and watch Latino Laugh Festival: The Show whenever he's on.

But my fave comedian is George Carlin.

[Duo_Maxwell]

I dunno that I really have a favorite, but I saw Christopher Titus's Norman Rockwell is Bleeding and thought it was damn brillant. Then it made me sad that his show was cancelled.

[FriskyTanuki]

There's too many, but Pablo is also one of my favs, as well as, Stephen Lynch, David Cross, Lewis Black, and many others.

I was going to say him, but the thing is, he rarely gets any new material... its the same stuff every time and its really lame after a while.

But he's very very funny. I'm thinking about picking up his dvd.

Also Zach Galafinakis (sp) is great too

[BlueWingX]

Eddie Izzard, David Cross, Henry Rollins, Mitch Hedburg, there's too many to choose from.

Yeah, really. Besides the ones you mentioned, there's Lewis Black, Stephen Lynch, Dane Cook, and I'm sure there's still plenty I'm forgetting at the moment.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Carlin, Cross, Cook. The three C's of comedy. :lol:

[Mr. Anderson]

Call me crazy, but Lewis Black is one of the most unfunny people I've ever heard. I have no idea why people think he's so hilarious.

Read his books, they are brilliant.

[Tromack]

For me, it is all about Dane Cook. And old Steve Martin was wonderful, too.

Ah, now that might be a wiser choice. Lewis Black is intelligent, he just doesn't have any comedic timing. I bet he's a great comedy writer.

[willardhaven]

Lewis Black, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor and Tom Green

[hiccupleftovers]

George Carlin. I find Matt Kazaam also funny.

[Mike23]

Leno, O'Brien or Seinfeld...too funny.

[kaji7p56]

George Lopez doing stand-up is the best!

[thatstoobad]

i haven't had a chance to hear or see his stand up act, but his bits on the daily show are great.

david cross is totally the funniest guy around right now. i also think dave attell's stand up is really funny, even though his "insomniac" show isn't very good. the cd patton oswalt released kind of recently ("feelin' kinda patton") is pretty good, not exactly to the extent of favorite, but good nonetheless. if you are including live comedy shows, i would have to throw in the name of "stella" (group with michael ian black, michael showalter and david wain from "the state"), but that may be taking it too far.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

George Carlin. I find Matt Kazaam also funny.

Thank you. I love George Carlin. He is hilarious.l

[FriskyTanuki]

Dane Cook's also great as is Dana Carvey, Robin Williams, Zach Galifinakis, and more to come.

[Mr. Anderson]

I also have to mention Brian Regan. Deadzone introduced me to him. He's soooo funny.

[redgopher]

Right now, after watching the show, it's Patton Oswald.

"Every time you eat a steak, a hippie's hackysack lands in the gutter."

[Gameboy415]

Norm MacDonald.

Go watch Dirty Work and Screwed and tell me I'm wrong.

I DARE YOU.

[beerguy961]

Dane Cook and Pablo Francisco are among my new school favorites. Also like Bill Burr ("Cracker ass motherfuckers" had me cracking up so much). Classic guys like Pryor and Carlin, Chappelle (show kind of hurt him as he's gotten way too popular for stuff like "I'm Rick James bitch").

Nice to see others here like stand up too...

[EDIT] Editted out my crappy list...

[R1V3R5]

Tons of you mentioned David Cross but no one mentioned his good friend, Bob Odenkirk. Bob Odenkirk is (in my book) the funniest guy around. His work on SNL, Mr. Show, and the Ben Stiller Show can't be beat. Amazingly funny and witty.

[basketkase543]

I just saw him on comedy central today and was cracking up! I love his Jerry Springer routine: "Now, why did she call you a 'puta'?"

[palwk]

Jerry Seinfeld is my favorite comedian

[willardhaven]

I forgot Robin Williams and Brian Regan.

[maxguy56]

I also have to mention Brian Regan. Deadzone introduced me to him. He's soooo funny.I was waiting for someone to mention him, I'm listening right now.

[Stoneage]

Well, I just saw Steven Wright a couple weeks ago and I laughed the whole time. I was amazed that he could just keep up the routine for like 1 hour 40 minutes plus.

And Carlin, Pryor, R. Williams, and I've been listening to Bill Hicks lately.

Anyone remember when Comedy Central aka the Comedy Channel used to have Stand Up Stand Up and shows like that??? I found out about lots of comedians that way.

[Skylander7]

Definately George Carlin. He's probably the only person to ever get rich from a degree in Philosophy.

Richard Pryor was funny too

[beerguy961]

A couple of my friends mentioned Russell Peters (I think that's his name). I saw some and he was pretty funny...

[ZeroSupporT]

Rodney Dangerfield, Rodney Carrington, George Carlin, Chris Rock, and

The CHina Man Mark Britten

He about put me in a seizure from laughing so hard.

[Trakan]

Hands down, Dane Cook. Anyone who's seen his stuff on Nestle Quik, Kool-Aid, or drive-thru windows will definitely agree. He was on Comedy Central last night.

[jam3582]

the old eddie murphy and one of my all time favs sinbad , right now david cross ,george lopez , and ofcourse pablo francisco

[screwkick]

Dave Attell is the funniest guy out there. Going to see him live in January. :lol:

[oracrest]

Man, I can't believe Bill Hicks isn't getting any love in this post.

[karsh]

I'd have to say it's a toss-up between David Cross, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, George Carlin, Brian Regan, and Dave Chappelle.

[dutch72]

What about..Sam Kinison..Robin Harris..Red Foxx and last but not least Rudy Ray Moore all are classics and should be in everyones collection.

[Othergods]

Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black and Chris Rock sometimes I still Love Bigger and Blacker Christopher Titus is funny, I loved his TV show!!!

[BlueWingX]

I just noticed that there aren't many female comedians being listed, so I'll throw in Kathleen Madigan, Maryellen Hooper, Laura Kightlinger, Maria Bamford, and Jackie Kashian. All very funny.

[evilmax17]

Bill Cosby

and to a lesser extent

Mitch Hedburg

[TheUnsane1]

Hmm no mention of Dennis Leary yet???? Carlin is most definently the king tho.

[thatstoobad]

bob's work is hilarious, without a doubt. everything from his older stuff (like what you mentioned) to his more recent stuff ("melvin goes to dinner" which he directed, that new show on adult swim called "tom goes to the mayor", heck, he was even funny in those beer commercials). the only reason i left his name out is because when it comes to a stand-up setting, i don't think he's that funny, and i think there is a major difference between comedian and comedic performer/writer. like, just for example, larry david is a really funny guy, but you can't really call him a comedian. but yeah, bob odenkirk is funny.

i don't find dane cook funny, but maybe that's just me.

[The Shiznit]

Carlos Mencias, Dave Chapelle, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Damon Wayans

[The Successful Dropout]

bruce bruce

[karsh]

How could I leave out Denis Leary?!?! I take back everything I said before. Leary is easily my favorite comedian.

[MrBadExample]

Some I haven't seen yet mentioned: Bernie Mac, Bobcat Goldthwait, Emo Phillips.

I'll second the praise for Bill Hicks, David Cross and Eddie Izzard.

[evilpenguin9000]

Anyone see Patton Oswalt's special on COmedy Central this weekend? He's hilarious...although I didn't watch the whole thing. I'd also like to add Brian Posehn to the list.

[hiccupleftovers]

I can't believe I forgot to mention Dave Attell. He is easily one of my favorite comedians out ther now. I also love his show for which some weird reason not a lot of people like. Also can't believe I left out a lot of the old schoolers, Richard Pryor and Robin Williams. Leary is also quite good. But still my two favorites are Attell and Carlin.

[integralsmatic]

The amazing jonathan bogus tricks are always a + in my book

[The Shiznit]

I love his show too. Pretty funny stuff.

[zewone]

Dave Chappelle, David Cross, and Dave Attelll. Three Daves!

[ZeroSupporT]

The Amazing Jonathan is great.

**Drinks Windex** "Keeps me from streaking!"

[afedock]

Dane Cook came to University of Florida last month for our homecoming....I was a fan before hand, but seeing him live was more funny than I could imagine.

[x0thedeadzone0x]

I also have to mention Brian Regan. Deadzone introduced me to him. He's soooo funny.

Hell yeah. 8)

Also very pleased to see the other BR love here on CAG. He is so amazing live. Definitely my favorite comedian, but some close ones are Robin williams, Chris rock, Denis leary (!!), and George carlin.

[FriskyTanuki]

The Amazing Jonathan is great.

**Drinks Windex** "Keeps me from streaking!"

Exactly, he's great and very funny.

[camoor]

Dennis Miller before he lost half of his brain and started pedaling the rhetoric of the right.

[Lancey Howard]

Hands down, Dane Cook. Anyone who's seen his stuff on Nestle Quik, Kool-Aid, or drive-thru windows will definitely agree. He was on Comedy Central last night.

"WHOOOOOOPPPPPEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!"

"......sir?...."

"WHOOOOOOOPPPEEEERRR NO ONIOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


I loose it whenever I hear that or when he talks about the shark.

[rabbitt]

Stephen Lynch

Dane Cook

Two of the most funny people I have ever seen.

[Trakan]

:rofl: ...And the pickles...

[tyecko]

Seinfeld, Chappelle, Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Carlin.

[Inmate #10943]

Definitely Lewis Black.

And as for a group Monty Python.

[Whambamm]

Man, I can't believe Bill Hicks isn't getting any love in this post.

While Hicks was unbelievably funny, you gotta remember he's been dead for what, almost 10 years now? Way before most of these CAGs time. As a matter of fact before my time to, but lucky for me my older brother was a huge fan and I got hooked in the last few years.

Anyways, my favs are:

Old school: George Carlin, Bill Hicks, BillCosby (best clean comedian ever).
New School: Mitch Hedburg, Daniel Tosh(haven't seen him mentioned yet, if you see his comedy central special you'll know why).

[Professor Oreo]

Dave Attel, Patton Oswalt, Richard Jenni, George Carlin, and hands down the funniest female comic ever... Felicia Michaels. :D

If anyone seriously mentions Richard Lewis or David Brenner, they need to have their f'n heads examined! :evil:

[MorbidAngel4Life]

forgot a few, but some of them might not be classified as "comedians", perse:

Ryan Stiles
Wayne Brady
Greg Proops
Colin Mochrie
Brad Sherwood
Kathy Greenwood
Chip Esten(God a lot of Whose Line people, huh?)
Richard Pryor
Martin Lawrence(RunTelDat was hilarious)

[beerguy961]

Forgot Dennis Leary as well. What I like about Leary more than the jokes is the image. The angry guy smoking and the voice just works so well...

[zionoverfire]

How about George Carlin, my favorite comedian.

[Will]

Ralphie May, George Carlin, Lewis Black, Robert Schimmel, Eddie Izzard, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison...by far the King of all Kings of stand up is Paul Mooney.

I never knew who paul mooney was till i saw chapelle's show ask a black man. Not long after that, i got satellite radio and the uncensored comedy station plays his stuff and even though its years old, its extremely funny and ive never laughed harder.

[Will]

another post, cant forget rodeny carrington, joe rogan- i didnt realize how dirty he was till i heard him on raw dog comedy on sirius radio.
