Favorite Comedian?

Comedy is definitely not at all easy. Which is why I have to give mad respect to to all of them because of their will and dedication. Some are funny, others not so much, but a few are just so damn funny. And you know, who doesn't enjoy a good laugh? So... who are some of your favorite comedians..?

Well without a doubt, my favorite is Norm MacDonald. Comedic genius, no questions, everything that comes out of that guy's mouth is just pure, unadulterated hilarity. Benny Hill, Dana Carvey are a few others to name..

Here's a quick sample of Norm, if you are not at all familiar with him..

My favorite comedian lived in a van down by the river.

 

Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran.(Chreck out Moran's "French skit" on youtube,I think it's hilarious.)

 

Margaret Cho

 

And Unfortunatly, His Wit And Wisdom Was Never Recorded, But

Just Left To Drift Away With The Current...



Cheers Glen.

 

George Carlin, BY FAR. the greatest.

 

I like Louis CK

 

Carl Baron

 

I had completely forgotten about him, which is surprising since I love his routines regarding religion.

 

Dave Chappelle.
Peter Kay.
A few others as well

 

NEVER FORGET THE OLD FUCK!

when i cant find something (which is rare, and deeply disturbing to me) i have to stop and watch his bit on losing things. usually, within an hour, ive found it. its kind of hysterical because in the bit he talks about how people expect st anthony to bring your stuff back to where its supposed to be. and i bet hes 'down there' now, screaming up at me.

hes like an uncle to me. i grew up watching him. i saw him live twice, and the second time i just felt his time shortening. he lost his breath, said "fuck you people and your atmosphere" and it just washed over me. i miss him.

Oh yeah I heard he was funny ;p

 

Joe Rogan

 

I'll do a top 10 since that's what I do with the music threads... This will roughly be in order of my most fav but a few on the latter half are interchangable. I'm ranking these strictly by standup performances.

1) Bill Hicks

2) George Carlin
3) Chris Rock
4) Bill Burr
5) Dave Chapelle
6) Mitch Hedberg
7) Robin Williams
8) Doug Stanhope
9) Eddie Murphy
10) Pablo Francisco

 

Steve Martin & David Cross are my favorites. I do some stand up myself and I've been working on material. I've been watching all of the comedy specials on netflix for motivation (or something along those lines)...fun stuff.

 

Comedy is just all pressure. I mean , if you can handle being in a room full of strangers, then it's nothing more than telling jokes. But getting up on that stage, is definitely the toughest part. If you got that, just deliver!

 

German Comedy Ambassador Henning Wehn
Stewart Lee
Lee Mack

 

That would be my top 2 as well. With Doug Stanhope at number 3
