Jantha Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 All great comedians.. hard choice. Seinfeld has probably made me laugh the most out of any of those. I also like Dave Chappelle quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I love the show but I don't find Jerry Seinfeld himself is funny. Wanna see something really funny, watch a celebrity roast. Greg Giraldo, Jeffrey Ross & Lisa Lampanelli put me in tears every time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellion102792 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Cheech and Chong. The album days. "Dave's not here." Murph. My dad let me listen to their "Greatest Hit" album and wow haha, those guys were hilarious (their movie Up in Smoke was pretty funny too). I really gotta pick up some of their albums. BASKETBALL JOOOOOOOONES XD And I voted for George Carlin. Why do the good die young? The world sucks right now. Pryor is dead, Carlin is dead, and Dane Cook is healthy as a mule... yeah I stole that from somewhere :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Reading "Fatherhood" by Bill Cosby this week. Here's what he says about the decision to have children: "Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit."

:oilpit: Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The late Mr. Carlin always makes me smile. As for new comedians, Demitri Martin is freaking hilarious. I recommend you all youtube him NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Allen Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I was a comedian for some years, and worked with some great comedians, and some not so great ones. As in music, you study those who have gone before you. During those years I came to realize that Richard Pryor was a comedic genius. His stuff would have been funny even without the language. The man was brilliant. He was able to talk about race in such a way that made racism look absoutely insane. He was able to bridge the gap with all races and genders and ages.

RichCI Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I voted for Redd Foxx; he's filthy and cracks me up. I like a lot of the others in your list too: Bill Cosby - Great story teller and I can recite almost the entire "Noah" routine from "Best of Bill Cosby" Robbin Williams - Younger folks might not remember his earlier standup but he was INSANE. It's nearly impossible to find (unless you get your hands on a bootleg) but his "Live at the Met" HBO performance is one of the funniest standup routines I've ber seen. Richard Pryor - Not just a great comedian, but also a great writer. He was one of the writers of "Blazing Saddles" and, man, if you don't think THAT'S funny... Jeff Foxworthy - Eh. He has his moments but I grew really tired of his whole "You might be a redneck" routine very quickly. Jim Carrey - Great physical humor and excellent timing. George Carlin - I'll probably get beaten for this, but I never cared much for George Carlin. Then again, I don't like political humor very much either. Bill Engvall - Engvall is really underated, IMO, as he tends to get overshadowed by Foxworthy. He's funny as hell. Jerry Seinfeld - Love the show, but the only standup of his that I've seen are the short bits on the show itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 I remember listening to Red Fox when I was younger. Man that guy was funny. He was dirty too. But it was always good humor. Like Pryor, that was humor that always left me feeling great about life in general. Those guys could bring me out of the doldrums everytime.

saturn Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Mitch Hedberg ... RIP... +1 I've got 2 of his CD. I was listening to 98 Rock in B'more and he was scheduled as a guest in the studio that day. They were very close with him and called his home # when he didn't show up at the station and were shocked to get his crying girlfriend on the line. That was a real buzzkill to say the least.

cookieman15061 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm showing my age here but one of the funniest HBO comedy specials was of Buddy Hackett from the mid 80's. He looked funny, he talked funny and he was a hilarious story teller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
