04.16.11 | arlin. Early work is enlightening, latter career sobering. The king is gone but not forgotten. Gotta give lenny bruce props, without him there may not have been George. |

04.16.11 | I'm not sure as far as stand-up goes but I love Charlie Chaplin. Google's commemoration of his birthday reminded me how great he was. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Jerry Seinfeld |
BadgerOverdose
04.16.11 | As a Scot, I find Kevin Bridges hilarious. |
whywontyoudie
04.16.11 | fucking love Carlin, even in his extremely hate-filled later work. but my favorite working comedian is definitely Brian Regan. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Brian Regen rules.
Hate filled?
|
whywontyoudie
04.16.11 | well Carlin's work from like the late 70s and on into the 80s was more just making fun of stuff, not kicking the absolute shit out of it. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | He was just more direct in his later work I guess.
Still great. |
climactic
04.16.11 | carlins my fav also |
acorncheese
04.16.11 | Jerry Seinfeld [2] but also Larry David |
whywontyoudie
04.16.11 | but all that's left are local cookies... you know.. fucking Jim's Cookies. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Larry David is the fucking boss. |
savagecabbage
04.16.11 | his view on pollution should be taught in school.
|
fr33convict
04.16.11 | Between the Buried and Me are the best comedians hands down. |
climactic
04.16.11 | larry david is so much funnier than seinfeld |
savagecabbage
04.16.11 | carlins view on pollution... for shits sake I type something relevant, submit, and then look like a small child that wanders into a movie. |
fr33convict
04.16.11 | I have never thought Jerry Seinfeld was that funny tbh
Maybe I should check out more of his stand up or something but idk |
foreverendeared
04.16.11 | That's because Jerry Seinfeld ISN'T that funny. |
acorncheese
04.16.11 | that's because fuck you both |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | George > Kramer > Elaine > Jerry.
Still funny though. |
ilikeforests
04.16.11 | I've got 11 gigs of Carlin on my old laptop and you are all diseased is the probably the best comedy routine I can think of. Bill Hicks is awesome too, and Kanye West |
savagecabbage
04.16.11 | his books are awesome. |
CrisStyles
04.16.11 | Dave Chappelle, though I enjoyed Mitch Hedburg's delivery the best. |
acorncheese
04.16.11 | Hedburg wash ilarious |
acorncheese
04.16.11 | fuck |
whywontyoudie
04.16.11 | watch Dave Chappelle on Inside The Actor's Studio. |
savagecabbage
04.16.11 | Lenny Bruce was talking about shit before anybody. fucking O.G. |
MO
04.16.11 | I find seinfeld way overrated |
ilikeforests
04.16.11 | I remember the day Carlin died, me and a friend were walking into an exam and I said "dude :(" and he said "I know man...I know..." and the rest of the day was shit |
FreePizzaDay
04.16.11 | Seinfeld is great, but Curb Your Enthusiasm is way better. |
qwe3
04.16.11 | billy connolly
peter cook |
qwe3
04.16.11 | oh and lenny bruce fuck yeah |
AngelofDeath
04.16.11 | Carlin is genius, I must agree.
Fuck yeah qwe for Billy Connolly. Hmm, guess my other faves would be...
Chappelle
Hedberg
Brian Regan |
gotsthedewsdood
04.16.11 | i think carlins later stuff though bitter, was alot more meaningful.
'it's called the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.' |
ilikeforests
04.16.11 | for real though why hasn't anyone mentioned Bill Hicks?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkA6zugNMQ
watch them allllll
|
savagecabbage
04.16.11 | Because Carlin owns. Hicks is great, but kind of a go to for tool and radiohead fanboys. Maybe not all the time, but the majority of the time it's "Bill Hicks, fuck yeah, fucking 3rd eye changed my life....." Nothing against those bands, but they did help launch him to cult status. Rant in E minor will always be one of my favorites, regardless of tool. Not the greatest post, I know. fuck it. |
ilikeforests
04.16.11 | i literally have never heard or considered any association between bill hicks and those bands. he's an awesome comedian I stumbled upon 'cause I heard Carlin praise him in an interview. who cares if he preaches? he's absolutely mental |
savagecabbage
04.16.11 | We've laid a stereotype to rest tonight.
Hicks is fucking hilarious, didn't want you thinking I'm not a fan. |
ilikeforests
04.16.11 | you're one confusing dude savage, but I think I'll try getting into tool now. |
foreverendeared
04.16.11 | Well, Tool quotes Bill Hicks often, so that's why people often associate the two together. |
ilikeforests
04.16.11 | ah wikipedia confirms. I think I should actually sample some tool 'cause they seem to be one of those bands everybody knows at least something about. |
Aids
04.16.11 | George Carlin is easily my favourite comedian of all-time. It's not even close. |
iwubmoosik
04.16.11 | Bill Fuckin' Burr. |
Hawks
04.16.11 | Dave Chappelle is probably my favorite. Others I can think of off the top of my head would be Dane Cook, Nick Swardson, Greg Giraldo, Katt Williams, and Chris Rock. |
Aids
04.16.11 | why?... why?... why?... why?... why?... why?... why?...
Why? Why is it that most of these people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place?
this is my response next time Kimm talks to me about abortion |
Hawks
04.16.11 | Oh, and Eddie Murphy's stand-up is also some of my favorite stuff. Raw and Delirious are hilarious. |
Ire
04.16.11 | patton oswalt, eugene mirman, doug benson and mitch hedberg are my faves. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Ire digs the alternative comedy.
Hell yeah. |
Hawks
04.16.11 | I completely agree Andcas. It's really a shame. |
Dryden
04.16.11 | mitch hedberg aw ya |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Mitch Hedberg
R.I.P. |
UnnamedOcean
04.16.11 | Sadly I started getting into Carlin right after he died. I've watched all of his material that I can find and I love him. He couldn't have been any more right with the things he said. |
Inveigh
04.16.11 | yeah Dave Chappelle's two stand-up DVDs make me fucking laugh until I cry, no matter how many times I watch them
Hedberg and Oswalt are two favorites as well. Jim Norton, Ron White, Lewis Black and Greg Giraldo can all be funny sometimes. |
AngelofDeath
04.16.11 | "yeah Dave Chappelle's two stand-up DVDs make me fucking laugh until I cry, no matter how many times I watch them"
This so much. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Dave Chappelle needs to come back.
I can only watch his two dvds so much. |
Ire
04.16.11 | "yeah Dave Chappelle's two stand-up DVDs make me fucking laugh until I cry, no matter how many times I watch them"
shit still cracks me up.
yeah hedbergs first album is probably my favorite comedy album of the 90s. pattons live at maxwells is very underrated too. |
foreverendeared
04.16.11 | And not one fucking person mentions Louis C.K. Shame on you guys. |
Hawks
04.16.11 | "Yeah Oscar, you're a grouch! BITCH I LIVE IN A FUCKING TRASH CAN!" |
UnnamedOcean
04.16.11 | Hey gais Dane Cook is sooooo funny he does the BK lounge thing and screams a lot and makes me lol so hard hahahahahahaha. |
Inveigh
04.16.11 | fuck, foreverendeared is right. Louis C.K. is the shit. |
Dev518
04.16.11 | Probably Carlin and Louis C.K. I always liked Carlin's observations about the world, although I disagreed with him on a lot of his conclusions. Louis C.K. is just really funny. |
Wolfhorde
04.16.11 | German cabaret artist Hagen Rether. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Any Paul F. Tompkins fans out there? |
Ire
04.16.11 | paul f tompkins is awesome |
UnnamedOcean
04.16.11 | I'm not sure about you people but I enjoy Ricky Gervais as well. His bit on Noah's ark is good. |
Trebor.
04.16.11 | Ricky Gervais for sure. |
MO
04.16.11 | Frank Caliendo all that way. |
MO
04.16.11 | yea that was the first I had seen from him, he's got some decent stand-up imo |
Hawks
04.16.11 | Frank Caliendo's impression of John Madden is fucking priceless. |
Ire
04.16.11 | ricky gervais urghh
|
MO
04.16.11 | tobias does wicked standup |
Ire
04.16.11 | i honestly don't find anything funny about him at all

Titan50
04.16.11 | Bill Hicks and Eddie Izzard. I like a bit of Carlin too, but I never properly got into him |
Pachelbel
04.16.11 | Unfortunately the first time I heard his name and listened to his HBO shows was after his death, he is my favorite comedian ever by a large margin.(I listen to"There Is No God" bit on a daily basis:d
May his soul rest in peace!
My favorite living comedians are Louis CK and Doug Stanhope. |
Thane
04.16.11 | George Carlin, Larry David, Steven Wright, Ricky Gervais, Andy Kaufman. |
foreverendeared
04.16.11 | YES I actually specifically came back to this list to say Steven Wright. Thank you, Thane. |
MCGF
04.16.11 | no love for louie CK?

KILL
04.16.11 | bill hicks fosho
ricky gervais is awesome but his stand up isnt that great |
PaperTigers
04.16.11 | David Cross and Louis CK are easily my favorites now that George isn't around anymore. |

beefshoes
04.16.11 | George Carlin is the best comedian of the later half of the 20th century.
His work from the last decade was great as well. Bill Hicks is great as well. |
