Funniest Comedian

[BDC99]

Has anyone pointed out what a ****ty list this is? Seriously, it's pretty ****ty.

 

[jr/shotglass]

Out of what's on the list, Tater Salad.

For reals, Lewis Black. Or Izzard, although I haven't seen him do standup in quite a while.

 

[jackfinarelli]

Lewis Black...

 

[txsportsscribe]

so what do y'all think of the list?

RIP Mitch Hedberg. I will add Ralphie May, and my inner dialogue is asking about Jim Gaffigan.

On the [clears throat] list, it's Tater by a wide margin.

 

[Stoney]

Might also throw in a word for the very funny Kathleen Madigan. IMO, the winner of the female division.

Her or Maria Bamford. Although I like the fact that Amy Schumer's not only funny, but worth looking at for an extended period of time.

gabriel iglesias

Gabriel's very funny. And fluffy.

Paul F. Tompkins is probably my favorite right now, followed by Oswalt and Louis C.K. I'm a huge fan off all the stuff Tompkins does, not just standup.

I also really like James Adomian, Bill Burr, Todd Glass, T.J. Miller, John Oliver, Kevin Hart (liked his special a lot more than I thought I would), Chelsea Peretti, Aziz, Wyatt Cenac and a few more -- many of whom I know more from podcasts than their actual standup.

I was blown away by Rock's Bring the Pain, like everyone else, but I haven't really liked his subsequent specials.

I don't agree with you on much, but on this? One hundred percent.

 

[John]

In smallish doses, Maria Bamford is as funny as anyone. Don't know that I could listen to her for an hour, though.

 

[PeterGibbons]

Louis CK
Dave Attell
Chris Rock
David Cross
Ralphie May

I'd take any one of them over what's on that list. When was Leno ever funny?

 

[jr/shotglass]

Dave Attell is Doug Stanhope to a lesser degree. This is not a good thing.

For me, Kathleen Madigan fits in the "woman I think is hot that others don't" category.

+1. Actually ran into her once when she was in town, after she appeared on "Last Comic Standing." Told her I thought she was wonderful, and her eyes just lit up. Immediately smitten, I was.

I love the Blue Collar guys, mostly because I'm from that area of the country and I can relate to a lot of their comedy.

Eddie Izzard, because I'm a history nerd.

Bill Cosby. I know it's not recent, but the first time I saw his stand-up from the early 1980s, I kept having to pause because I was laughing so hard.

 

[Bodie_Broadus]

RIP.

Patrice O'Neal would be number one if he were still alive.

As far as living, I gotta go with Kevin Hart.

 

[ColdCat]

Henry Rollins talking for 45 minutes about a trip to a drug store is funnier than most of the people on that list.

Henry Rollins is great doing comedy. But I'll be damned if I can find much of him.

 

[YGBFKM]

Nothing you've said on any of the Penn State threads approaches the wrongness of "Henry Rollins is great doing comedy."
