.....post some of their jokes

for me, it's mitch hedberg

"I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

"I was walking down the street with my friend and he said, "I hear music", as if there is any other way you can take it in. You're not special, that's how I receive it too. I tried to taste it but it did not work."

ahahahhahhahahahahahahahha!!

R.I.P, Mitch. He was one of my favorites too.

I really loved the Smacky The Frog bit.

"In England Smoky the Bear is not the forest fire prevention representative. They have Smacky the Frog. It's just like a bear, but it's a frog. I think it's a better system, I think we should adopt it. Because bears can be mean, but frogs are always cool. Never has there been a frog hopping toward me, and I thought 'man, I'd better play dead. Here comes that frog...' You never say here comes that frog in a nervous manner. It's always optimistic. Hey here comes that frog, al-right. Maybe he'll come near me so I can pet him, and stick him in a mayonnaise jar, with a stick and a leaf, to recreate what he's used to. And I'm pretty sure I'd have to punch some holes in the lid, because he's damn sure used to air. Then I can observe him, and he won't be doing much in his 16 ounce world."

'nother good one....

"I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit."

pablo francisco and david cross

I'm surprised no one said Jerry Seinfeld.

seinfeld was a good show but i'm not a fan of jerry seinfeld doing standup (and he actually annoyed me during the show). he always looks like he's going to laugh as does jay leno. i like comedians who can do their act with a straight laugh and let the audience decide if it was funny.

+1 on pablo francisco

he does the movie guy so hilariously.

Pete Barbutti
Charlie Callas
Josh Blue
Steven Wright
Steve Allen

Jerry Seinfeld is not funny. His show was good because of excellent writers like Spike Feresten, and a talented cast who worked well together. His routines are sad, pathetic, boring.

Some classis Steven Wright I haven't seen in a loooong time. He's a cool cat.

"people don't like the 13th floor because of superstition, but come on man.. people on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on.
'whats your room number?'
'1401'
'no it's not. jump out the window, you will die earlier'
-mitch hedberg

"i was gonna get my teeth whitened, but i was like fu** that, i'll just get a tan instead"
-hedberg

"i ordered a chicken sandwich at a restaurant, but i don't think the waitress understood me, because she asked me how i wanted the eggs.. so i tried to answer her anyways, i said "incubated.. then hatched.. then grown.. then beheaded.. then plucked.. then put on a grill.. then put on a bun.. damn, it's gonna take a while.... SCRAMBLED!"
-hedberg

still makes me laugh

Honestly, I hadn't followed Mitch Hedberg at all... sorry to hear he passed away. Good stuff.

Jedi! FTW!

rodney dangerfeild is getting no respect on this thread.

I have a soft spot for Frank Caliendo because his father was my high school basketball coach and we used to watch tapes of him out on the road playing little clubs before he blew up. But now he's kind of played out, and Frank TV was ... abysmal.

I also really like Brian Regan. A lot of his act is just him making stupid faces, but they're pretty funny. I love his "show horses" bit.

i've only seen the one skit of russell peters but he was hilarious in it.

Eddie Murphy.

Cat Williams.

So many good bits, but his bit about smoking weed is priceless.
"If you are unemployed and not smoking weed, I do not know what the fuck you are doing with your life."

+1 Russel Peters!!!!

but I think Joe Rogan has one of the funniest sets eva!

Dave Chappelle

I prefer my comedy along the ghetto/urban vibe so I have always appreciated Redd Foxx, Rudy Ray Moore, Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac, and Dave Chapelle.

ooh how can i 4get richard pryor!! dave chappelles pretty good too.

cedric the entertainers also hillarious.

Cedric rocks. Most the time, anyway.;)

No love for Chris Rock?!

David Cross. He doesn't do a lot anymore now that he's doing more TV and movies but he was the only comedian who made me cry laughing, especially when he goes off on religion. I was sad when Mr. Show got cancelled. That was my all time favorite comedy show other than Tim and Eric but they aren't even in the ballpark of Mr. Show.

chris rock is alright but sometimes he just yells TOO much and repeats himself alot.

Katt Williams

Bill Belamy

Saw him live as well. he's really good

Dave Chapelle

Carlos Mencia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD1JJcrNDjg
Probably my favorite stand-up dvd

Eddie Murphy RAW is just classic.

chris rock is alright but sometimes he just yells TOO much and repeats himself alot.

Yells too much? Are you sure you don't mean Dane Cook? I am relatively certain that Dane Cook's only real punchline IS YELLING REALLY LOUD AND THEN PEOPLE THINK IT'S FUNNY.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FERmLKpNDc

Jim Gaffigan is good too. Hoooooooot Pockets!

Norm MacDonald

Eddie Murphy RAW is just classic.

I thought "Raw" was mostly a re-hash of "Delirious", which was largely a rip-off of Pryor's themes. On the other hand, I would hate to be a black comedian standing in the shadows of Pryor, too, as he doesn't leave them much room for originality. That's why I like Chappelle and Mencia; they seem to be able to get away with tackling sensitive social issues.

^i agree on what you say about pryor and the black comedians of today.

i like dave chappelle but carlos mencia has stolen alot of material from other comedians.

and some will say its different cause he delivers the material better than some of the comedians who came up with it. but its still takin other peoples material. boo

omg lol Ray... delirious is too good

"i got my iceeee cream , and you cant have noooone, cuz youre on welllllfare"

My favorite is definitely pablo fransisco!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4vST6_clnA&feature=related lol this one is my favorite

lol every single one of his bits are hilarious.

Also a big fan of cat williams, dave chappelle, chris rock, eddie murphy...

Robin williams
George Carlin
Jeff Dunham
John Stewart, even without his writers.

no particular order

jim gaffigan
brian regan
eddie murphy
steven colbert
john leguizamo
jim norton
dane cook when he was funny
joe rogan
dave chappelle

Comedy is a personal taste. I prefer more cerebral humor because the jokes are more difficult to create and takes some serious creativity. The slapstick humor I stay away from because it's too easy and there is more of a chance they are stealing old material. I listen to Raw Dog on Sirius sometimes and I never laugh for that specific reason. I hear people laughing their ass off and I haven't even smirked. I know I'm missing some of the live mannerisms on the radio, but still it's just not funny to me..

^i agree on what you say about pryor and the black comedians of today.

Here is something to note; the production similarities between Chappelle's and Mencia's shows. Almost as if they are using the same template but slightly different angles.

I'm surprised no one said Jerry Seinfeld.

im surprised someone said jerry seinfeld...


Robin Williams
Mitch Hedberg
Katt Williams

Cheech and Chong
Richard Pryor

the Kings of Comedy DVD is pretty funny sh*t too with Harvey, Hughey, Cedric and Bernie Mac.
