Favorite stand up comedians?

[quentin123]

My current favorite comedian at the moment is Bill Bailey who is endlessly funny and very musical.

I also like Bill Hicks, Dylan Moran and Reginald D Hunter's Live show from 2011 (I think its just called "Reginald D. Hunter Live") is hilarious.

We used to play a game when I was in college called "Hi Bob". We would watch the Bob Newhart Show and take a drink anytime somebody on the show said Bob. If somebody said "Hi Bob", you would have to get high. We got pretty wasted after some shows. Always a good time.

That reminds me, when I was in college we had a beer drinking game called "Zoom Schwartz Perfigliano." Don't remember it exactly but it was in a similar vein...

Ok, how 'bout these guys.

This has to be 'bout one of the best comedic skits...........ever. They say that comedy is all about timing, but the timing that it took to get this bit down is STILL incredible......... even today.

Enjoy......

[ACE OF VAPE]

Bill Hicks.
Doug Stanhope.
Mitch Hedberg.
Steven Wright

Exactly
But I'd also add Tosh Bill Burr and Dave Attell

 

[ACE OF VAPE]

David Cross
Dave Attell


edit... wait someone just called RALPHIE MAY a legend... what?
What's next... Jeff Foxworthy is a genius?

Did you see Arrested Developement when Dave Attell played David Cross's part? Genius.

The Holy Trinity: Pryor, Bruce, Carlin. The Pope: Kinison. The Grim Reaper: Louis Black. And the modern Einstein, Dave Chappelle. I mean, if I were to make a religion, that's how I'd make it.

Can't forget George W. Bush too, the guy was fucking hilarious, absolutely KILLED for years and years!

 

[Crohnie]

Carlin, Hicks, Chapelle.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Carlos Mencia.



Seriously though, that's a tough question. There's so many good ones it's hard to choose... Carlin, Murphy, Pryor, etc.

I really enjoyed Bernie Mac though. He was a personal favorite of mine. The Original Kings of Comedy is a must see. It had me in tears the 1st time.
