Best Stand Up Comedians of All Time

[redlegs@hokies]

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

I have never, even for a fleeting moment, found his act enjoyable or funny in any sense.

But again, does anyone here besides me like Neil Hamburger???- the anticomedian....

 

[Nosferatu]

Robin Williams isn't know for his impressions...

My ex wife found him to be hilarious...

I don't know who this Dunham guy is you guys are tallinbough. Bernie Mac had good stuff. He'll kick a kids ass. Hahahaha. George Wallace used to be really funny. Saw him on something awhile back, I didn't laugh.

Well, at least she's your ex.

Bob Newhart's a bit overrated in my book.

Johnny Carson is another comedian folks younger than myself might not know about.

His opening monologue was the highpoint of the "Tonight" show back in the '60s.

Robin Williams does a lot of crazy voices, not sure Id go with impressions. Helluva sweater.

I loved The Tonight Show as a kid. Johnny was a lot of fun.

His delivery is so different than most comedians and some of the little skits he did were pretty good I thought.

When i'd stay with my grandparents back in the 70's when Johnny came on I had better shut the hell up...

 

[RoboticDreams]

Well, at least she's your ex.

That's why I divorced her.

Not sure about that though... He does arnold-but then again everyone does arnold... But his voices are generic impressions... for example he will do a flamingo dancer instead of a specific person... i still consider that impressions... But still i am not a fan of his standup... I like him as an actor, but his standup is just too much for me...

Me too. My parents loved that show and watched it nightly. I got to stay up late sometimes and watch it with them.

Does anyone even know who neil hamburger is?? I am a big fan, he is either hated or loved, and there is no middle ground on him... Most hate him though...

Hahahahahaha. That was summertime with my grandparents too. You could screw around during the news but when that rainbow looking curtain opened you were watching TV.

I honestly have no idea who he is...

He is known as an anti-comedian... He is best when he pisses off the crowd and has the crowd boo him... Best way to explain him is probably to think of Tony Clifton but as a standup not a singer/performer...
