Lewis Black
Louis CK
Bill Burr

if we are talking "all time" someone mentioned Bob Hope so I would have to add Jack Benny and George Burns to the mix

Bill Burr is great too.

Personally Mitch Hedberg is not funny. I have tried to give his stuff a chance, and it does nothing for me. Its such a dated for of observational comedy. Its like he just walks around with a note pad and tries to make things funny. I get his jokes, i just dont think they are that funny.

I loved him when I first heard him but I understand how people don't think he's funny, everything is the same, I first liked him because he was from Minnesota, he was way high and some of his stuff was hilarious but there is only so much you can do when you're that kind of comedian.

Dangerfield
Hedberg
Steven Wright
Dana Carvey
Jim Gaffigan

(I'm pretty sure guys like Pryor and Steve Martin are better, but they're a bit before my time and never got into their standup)
