Your favorite stand-up comedian

Post Reply New Topic

George Carlin. Jim Gaffigan. Ron White. Louis CK. Lewis Black, even though I disagree with him on his politics.

Hannibal Buress, John Mulaney and Chelsea Peretti. Also Marc Maron, but he makes me sad too.

Bill Hicks, Doug Stanhope, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Brian Posehn, Stella

the last one is always the best!
i'll add m. bamford, l. black, and rip p. oneal

Russell Peters is the best amongst the lot of stand-up comedians then of course there is Lewis Black.

You know what's weird? I think we just revealed everything about ourselves.

And I said Marc Maron. I'm going to hell, aren't I?

I really like Robin Williams and Bill Cosby. In fact, I saw Bill Cosby at my university during my senior year and I fell out of my seat during the show.

Not a single mention for Adam Hills or David Strassman? Sadface. They're the only comedians I like.

I like Adam Hills and I think he's my parents' favourite, they're always talking about his story about going through airport security. I had to Google David Strassman - didn't even recognise him, sorry.

Louie C.K.
Dylan Moran
those are the big guns
John Mulaney (he's just so adorable)
Eddie Murphy

Why the lack of Jerry Seinfeld?

He's the obvious answer

In no particular order these are my favorites
Patton Oswald
George Carlin
Bo Burnham
Demetri Martin
Steven Wright
Mitch Hedberg

They are in my opinion they greatest comedians of all time.

I'm not super-versed, my opinions would probably be a little different if I knew every corner of the map but I tend to get the most out of the observant stuff. I agree with you guys on Jim Gaffigan, Beyond the Pale is classic. I'd also add Chapelle, Robert Schimmel (RIP), and Paul Mooney at the right times. Chris Rock's hit and miss but he can hit well more often than not as well.

I love that story, it's awesome. He's got so many good ones. Like how Dutch people are the most polite people in the world, the paralympics, Jesus was Australian...so good.

Most people don't recognize Strassman's name, but will often recognize Chuck Wood or Ted E. Bare. It's kind of interesting how that happens. He's quite popular, yet not very well recognized. On an unrelated note, I'm going to see his live show for like the 6-7th time on my birthday this year

Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, CRaig Ferguson (my favorite, awesome guy!), Demetri Martin, George Carlin (although he had a lot of crap as well), Juston McKinny (he was born into the world as a typo!), Greg Giraldo, and Patton Oswalt (he gets a bit insane sometimes though, and tends to do ebst in the Late Late Show interviews.)

Louis C.K.

George Carlin, (R.I.P.)
