Favorite and Least Favorite Comedians

Like: Louis C.K., Dave Chapelle, Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Dave Attell, and, despite his movies, I do like some of Dane Cook’s stuff.

Dennis Miller is hit-or-miss. I think I’m just more entertained by the way he talks.

Dislike: Sarah Silverman, all the “Blue Collar” comedians, the “America’s Funniest Home Video” guy (I’ve only seen his latest one, and it was just fucking obnoxious and grating), Bill Maher (though I like his TV show), Seinfeld (love the show, as well), and Carlos Mencia (fuck his show).

I didn’t either, at first. Now, I like the “show” part (the character is pretty good and he’s got some good writers), but I find that he’s mediocre (at best) when it comes to interviews and things that force him to be funny “off the script” (where I think Jon Stewart shines).

Tim & Eric are hilarious. Great job!

Carrot top is easily the worst.

Lewis Black

Jim Gaffigan

George Carlin

Andy Milonakis

Demetri Martin

Richard Pryor

favorites:
Brian Regan
Dave Chappelle
Monique Marvez
Bill Burr
Patrice O’Neal
Kevin James
Jim Breuer

Least favorite:
Dane Cook - I just don’t see anything funny in him.

There are a lot of so-so comedians out there that have hilarious sound-bites, but just aren’t funny enough overall to make my list.

DB

Best-Pablo Francisco,Mitch Hedburg,Jeff Wright,Dave Attell,Dave Chappell,Richard Pryor,Eddie Murphy,Louis CK,Zach Galfakanakis, there’s a few I’m forgetting.

Worst-Mencia sucks ball sack. I’ve never been a fan of Cook, but a friend had tickets to the show he did here at the Toyota center. Aside from being a bit funnier than I was willing to give him credit for, the crowd was PACKED with good looking women.PACKED.

Christopher Titus is funny, at least Norman Rockwell is bleeding was. I’m kind of surprised no one has mentioned him (that I saw).

Haha, yeah, that’s the guy.

He’s almost as handsome as that Adonis in your avatar.

George Carlin
Earthquake
Bill Cosby
Jim Carey
Dave Chapelle
Lisa Lampinelli
Redd Foxx

Eddie Murphy and Carlin are my favorites. I have seen delirious a thousand times and it still kills me every time. Eddie Izzard is funny to me b/c he talks alot about history and well call me a nerd but I enjoy history. O, Paton Oswald and Gilbert Gottfried are funy as hell to.

As for the women there are a couple that have made me laugh. But whats the foul obnoxious bitch?..(searching on yahoo, and google is not a verb) Lisa Lampanelli. Now I know all she does is insult ppl but sometime she just says that one thing to send it over the edge and it is funny as hell
I dont really like Adam Carolla, hes not funny and hes ugyl as hell so that makes him twice as hard to watch

Murphys best bit ever- - YouTube

Paton Oswald- - YouTube

Gilbert Gottfried- - YouTube

Lisa Lampanelli- - YouTube

I never thought he was as funny as a stand up as he was as just a funny guy. I’m probably not explaining it very well, but I laugh harder watching Fred Sanford (s-a-n-f-o-r-d period) Than i do listening to Redd Foxx’s stand up.

Most people still credit him with being who greats like Richard Pryor looked up to.

I’m a big fan of Daniel Tosh.

Speaking of In Living Color, among other things. Carey has to be one of the funniest people around. I don’t know that he ever did stand up(might be worth checking into) but from seeing behind the scenes clips of him shooting movies, interviews, appearances on talk shows, etc… he’s just incredible. It’s still weird to see him do dramatic movies and such.

Yeah, Carey did stand-up early on. Did a spot-on James Dean impression with his face.

The Wayans Brothers found him doing standup in the same club that Seinfeld got started in I believe. He was doing mostly “physical comedy” back then…the same stuff he does in movies.

Jim Norton!!

BILL HICKS.

shameful unmentioned.

dane cook is fucking terrible.
