Post by: Motherland on February 11, 2008, 07:32:54 PM: I like Demitri (I always thought it was Dimitri? w/e) Martin... not as much as some others...
I like Dane Cook a bit too...
I like Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart a lot... (not stand up comics, but w/e)
As well as the 'Blue Collar' crew... Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White...
I like standup in general, but those are the only names that come to mind.

Post by: SuBWaYCH on February 11, 2008, 08:34:09 PM: Colbert. He is one of those guys that just keeps going and going.

Best part is that he doesn't laugh at his own jokes.
Title: Your Favorite Comedians
Post by: Treize69 on February 11, 2008, 08:43:53 PM: I like the guys (like the above mentioned Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan) who makes other comedians crack up. I've heard both of them on the radio with other comedians in the booth (especially on Bob and Tom) and they get the hosts and their fellow comics laughing so hard they have to pause the show to compose themselves.

You can tell when someone is just humoring another comic or just laughing to be heard, but those guys leave them gasping for air.

Same with Stephen Wright, I've heard him stop a show with one soft spoken, low key line that just brings everything to a screeching halt.

For energy, can't beat Greg Hahn. You almost have to be on meth to keep up with him.

Post by: sluggish on February 11, 2008, 09:01:24 PM: Stole my dad's 8-track of Richard Pryor's "Bicentennial ******". I was the coolest kid on the block. Then I discovered George Carlin. Carlin has got to be the best stand-up eva. His timing and wit are impeccable. Then I discovered Mitch Hedberg. He took the stoner comic persona to the next level.

"You will never see an escalator with a sign on it that says 'escelator temporarily out of order.' You will only see an escalator with a sign on it that says 'escalator temporarily stairs."

Lewis Black is also genius. He's like the intellectual Sam Kineson.

Post by: Treize69 on February 11, 2008, 09:04:21 PM: I used to like Carlin until his routines turned into nothing but anti-everyone else rants. It was always there, but now its all he has anymore.

His old stuff is still genius, but his new stuff.... I change the station when he comes on XM.

I have to agree. On his last HBO special where he ended the show on a ten minute long "There is no god" rant, he lost me.

His earlier shows from the eighties were some of the most funny things I've ever seen.

Post by: JB73 on February 11, 2008, 10:43:53 PM: too hard to define 1 single comedian, even Pauly Shore had a funny moment :D

Lewis Black before politics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d967F7Lh8oU

Robin Williams on golf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9iMgSNrwv4

Carlin did a bit about crabs, and things walking at him sideways with big pincers... made me cry for 1/2 hour. I have to say one of the cleanest bits he has done, and I remember about 6 AM watching this with a friend, laughing SO hard we woke up my mother, she came down stairs, and we had her watch this.... imagine a serious proper Christian woman watching this with her son, and literally in tars over this bit, taking her glasses off to wipe tears!!
FOUND IT!!!!
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=7534414

BEST BIT EVER!

whole show:
Carlin at Carnegie
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8195192934888104647

The first time I heard Cosby's dentist routine :aok :lol

then when Eddie Murphy said "have a coke and a smile and shut the %^$ up" I almost died :rofl

Sam Kinison blew my head off with his bit on starving people and sand!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1GjyrQiSRs (3:50 in)

overall fav until he got sick political has got to be Carlin though:
on cats and dogs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDKRyJIrYZY (he did the crab routine later in this special)

he was funny as hell, and was probably the king of the brit comedians in the golden era between the 50's and 70's when the brit's had a ton of great comedians and ruled comedy.

imo most comedians these days are just crass vulgar unfunny idiots. adam sandler is the worst. he's so annoying that every time i see him i have to resist the urge to smash the crap out of the tv.
