cris rock is the best.

 

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

Dave Chapelle is pretty funny also.

 

[bluepeter]

I don't know about stand up guys but funniest guy ever is Bill Murray.

 

[majutsu]

Bump my man Lewis Black again. That shit is laugh out loud funny again and again.

And definitely bump Dave Chapelle. Very, very funny. You ever see the "White power" skit, or his night out with Wayne Brady . . .

And special boost for Bobcat Goldthwait. He's a freakin' riot these days . . .

 

[PICK3]

Ellen DeGeneres

[Devastation]

carrottop
gallagher
dave chapelle

in reverse order

& kenny banyah

 

[obiwan9962]

everyone mentioned are hilarious
but i will take robin williams, billy connolly, dennis miller, george carlin and sinbad over the rest
i guess i am more cerebral

 

[obiwan9962]

bill cosby is up there too

bill murray and dan ackryoid get special props but i don't recall them doing standup


i'm talking guys that go in day in and day out and face some rough crowds

yea there are a lot
george carlin set a precedence

but for ad lib ya gotta go with robin williams
dennis miller makes you think
billy connolly is just off the wall
sinbad is a category by him self


i never tire of those guys

 

[csilke]

Eddie Izzard - comic genius

 

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

I just can't see past Bill Cosby's pseudo-speech impediment. George Carlin: Whenever I stand at a urinal that contains a cigarette I think of "... sink the butts". Robin Williams reminds me of some hyperkinetic meth heads I have met. I've never seen Billy Connolly. The last time I saw Sinbad was when he was 'Star Search' defending comedy champion.

 

[czawlytko]

murphy

 

[Sean Scott]

Lenny Bruce

 

[young guns]

Eddie Murphy or George Carlin

 

[The_Chemist]

Eddie murphy or BOB sagat(full house guy)

Bob sagat has to be the dirtiest stand up comic ever. He holds nothing back. Totally worth seeing.

 

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

Don Rickles can be quite the side buster.

 

[Synpax]

Hard to pick a fav. Some of mine?:

Brian Regan. Didn't realize he was clean he was so funny. Bought his album.
The Cos'. I remember listening to LPs of his when I was a kid.
Robert Schimmel. Hilarious. Dirty.
Ellen Degenerous. In her pre-homosexual days. Very unique style of mis-direction.

Fav new comic? Dane Cook. AWESOME. Really a stage presence.

 

[Snypr]

george carlin=10
chris rock=9/10(his voice makes some jokes funnier)

 

[obiwan9962]

Chris Rock
Steven Wright
Don Rickles
Chelsea Handler
Dimitri Martin
Jerry Seinfeld
Richard Pryor
Sinbad
Jim Gaffigan

There's a favorite stand up comedian joke thread somewhere down there that apparently didn't go over too big. lol

 

[majutsu]

dane cook and mike birbiglia are two good young ones

 

[obiwan9962]

George Carlin
Mitch Hedberg
Chris Rock
Steven Wright
Don Rickles
Chelsea Handler
Dimitri Martin
Jerry Seinfeld
Richard Pryor
Sinbad
Jim Gaffigan

There's a favorite stand up comedian joke thread somewhere down there that apparently didn't go over too big. lol

and if you ever get the oppotunity check out billy connolly mans been doing it over 30 years
and you forgot robin williams
remember all his stuff is ad lib

 

[alex2678]

Forgot about Lewis Black

Bobby Collins: Funny Guy. Met him a few years ago after a show. There's some audio files of bunch of different comics. A few with Collins.

[jaybois]

Come on people what about the Dice man?

 

[thewanderer690]

Ron White is hilarious and Foxworthy is ok but Larry the cable guy is just too hick for my liking and that Bill Envall just isnt that funny

Also,
Dave Chappelle
Carlos Mencia
Bob Saget

are hilarious

 

[from zero]

i wonder what chris rocks going to end up doing at the oscars

Probably a bunch of jokes about the difference between black people and white people.
Nothing but freshness and originality from that guy.


You people cannot be serious with those Blue Collar idiots. Jesus.

 

[ass_face]

It's all in your personal taste.... I like Dennis Miller and George Carlin for their intellectual brand of comedy, but I can laugh my ass off at Larry the Cable Guy too. I don't think you can really pick one comedian.

A few I have really liked:
Mitch Hedberg
Jake Johanson
Dave Chapelle
Jerry Seinfeld
Steven Wright

I like comedians that don't go for the obvious joke all the time and really search for original material.

 

[majutsu]

if no one else said bill hicks yet -- bill hicks

 

[perkele]

Haven't seen much stand-up comedians in action. I see them on Leno and Conan etc.

Rich Hall and Jim Gaffigan have had good material sometimes when they've been on Late Night w/Conan.

Chapelle and Rock of course

 

[heavyweightchamp]

No order: Comedians some of which dont do stand up.

Eddie Murphy
Dave Chapelle
Chris Rock
Sandler Sometimes
Jack Black
Chris Farley
Will Farrell
Vince Vaughn
Ben Stiller

 

[thewanderer690]

Eddie murphy was really good
