Toss-up between Eddie Izzard and Lewis Black. Both are hilarious.

I'm also a fan of Jim Gaffigan.

Dressed to Kill is the best stand-up routine I've ever seen, and as such, Eddie Izzard wins top position in my book.

Chris Rock and Lewis Black are BRILLIANT.

George Carlin and Richard Pryor are ICONS.

I've heard of him. And his Comedy Central Presents show was better than his hour-long special. But both were good.

*EDIT*

If you want a really obscure comedian, try Mitch Fatell (sp?).

Carlin is in a league far above alot of others.


Attell, Christopher Titus, and Chris Rock are my fave "2nd tier" comedians.

I think I only counted 1 Dane Cook, I guess people have begun to realize how bad of a comedian he was...

Any who...

Dave Chappelle and Pablo Francisco are pretty damn funny. Also George Carlin.

Like which ones? I mean I have seen most of his videos but I just don't find him funny at all, just weird like a kid who needs attention at all times.

Do you got a youtube link to a certain act you like?

My favorites are:

Demetri Martin

Dane Cook

Bill Engvall

Larry The Cable Guy

Carlos Mencia (He is hilarious, but it seems like hating him is the new 'hip' thing to do as of late)

I do not get why everyone likes George Carlin so much :?. Sure, some of his early work was funny, but after that he turned into a grumpy old hate machine that would insult everything he could just to get people worked up. I really loved his "dirty words you can't say on TV skit", but ever since seeing his recent skits being filled with so much hate towards the government and religion, I lost all respect for that so called 'man'.

Oh he is hilarious... BECAUSE HE STEALS FROM OTHER COMEDIANS.

And that's why people hate him.
