There's been a lot of the "favorite" threads going around lately so I thought I'd jump on it too, even if I'm late to the party.
So who's your favorite comedian? Dave Chapelle is the man in my book for current, but it's hard to beat George burns from back in the day. Two completely different styles but love them both.
Your turn...
Dave Chappelle for me also. I don't think there's anyone that's ever made me laugh that hard.
Steve Martin
Living: Lewis Black Dead: Richard Pryor and Sam Kinneson (sp?)
Dave chapell, eddie Murphy, Chris rock, kat Williams, burny mack, and so on and on presendt and past
" I don't think there's anyone that's ever made me laugh that hard."
--> Richard Pryor
Living- Robin Williams
Deceased- George Carlin, Sam Kinnison
The late great Mitch Hedberg.....search him on YouTube or Google. Did stuff in a way like nobody else.
Carlin my bothers...got to give it up for Carlin.
Tom Lehrer was also fuggin' coo-el
Living: George Carlin Dead: George Carlin
Living: Patton Oswalt
Dead: Mitch Headburg
Carlin, hedberg, eddie murphy back in the day, louis ck, don rickles.
@ Jackslash: I like part about boobs.
Jeff Dunham
I agree with all of this shit ! ^^^^
Great list of comedians. A deceased comic who is amazing yet doesn't get his props is Richard Jenni. Patrice really did have some of the best crowd work around. One of the best out right now is Joey Coco Diaz.
Obama
M n M nice one.Ron White.Because you can't fix stupid.
Jevin Hart, Ares Spears, and David Spade. Not sure why as a white guy but I like black comedians a lot. Just saw spears the other day
"One of the best out right now is Joey Coco Diaz."
I listen to the Joe Rogan podcast once in a while and its great if Joey Diaz is on. His stories are nuts, and he's funny as hell
Abbott and Costello's Who's on First bit is the absolute funniest gig ever.
"It's either Bleu Cheese or go fuck your mother, cocksucker!"
Anybody notice that not one female comic was listed? No Wanda Sykes(she use to be hilarious), no Iliza Schlessinger, no Joan Rivers. Interesting.
Amy Schumer is pretty funny and not hard to look at. April Macie is smokin hot
Can't say. Most all have specific routines and kill me, while other routines do nothing. I can't even think of one that I would say no way.
@ Slick: If I was pressed to name a woman, I would go with Sarah Silverman.
Silverman is great. Schumer is hot and funny. Adam Carola's sidekick, Alison Rosen is hyper-quick with comebacks.
Bill Burr is great, it's tougnh to just go with one. Jim Jefferies, Robert Kelly, Rich Vos areall must see. Patrice O'Neal was great I saw him on pretty much his last tour before he got sick and passed away, no one worked a crowd like him.
