Best Stand Up Comedians of All Time

Dave Attell is pretty funny.

George Carlin in his prime.

Great answer, obviously tough to beat. Pryor always could make me chuckle, though.

 

[RoboticDreams]

Gilbert Gottfried anyone?

I've often wondered how that guy was allowed to do comedy or be on television. I guess I got my answer.

 

[RoboticDreams]

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 find him utterly boring. His jokes are nowhere near funny. I just don't get it. I'd rather watch Gallagher smash watermelons.

...Dane Cook for example. He's probably the funniest guy in the history of the world.

lol

Dane Cook? My favorite moment from his career was Kevin Costner murdering him with a shovel.

Loved that scene. Too bad it was only a movie.

 

[redlegs@hokies]

Forgot about Brian Regan. He is pretty hilarious.

+1, I enjoy his humor as well.

I am just going to say that it is a tie between George carlin and Richard Pryor. I did think Richard Pryor was better at shutting up the hecklers!

I actually dont think dane cook is that bad... He has been in lame movies and had that conspiracy with Louis CK, but his standup is actually above average... Not in my top 10, but certainly not in my bottom 10 either... He is definitely top 50 current comedians...

I can go top 50 but definitely overrated in my book. He has made my lips move slightly towards a smile a couple of times.

Another guy I liked was Bob Newhart oh and Kevin Pollack because of his impressions.

 

[Nosferatu]

I liked Bernie Mac too.

 

[RoboticDreams]

Can we all agree that Jeff Dunham isn't funny? Ventriloquism is just not funny. At all.

I am not a fan of impressions... One big reason i am not a fan of Robin Williams.....


Does anyone here like Neil Hamburger???

I actually do!!! He is in my top 20... But he is best when he is being hated...

 

[RoboticDreams]

I liked Bernie Mac too.

He had some funny stuff.

I dont know, i am on the fence... I think his dummys are often funny, but unlike the standard standup comedians, i have a much shorter leash with him... I like dane cook more than him, but i like dunham more than prop comics...

Somewhat amusing yes, funny not even close...
