Favorite comedians?

[siamese dream]

We all love laughter here at the TMF! 😀 I just wondered who some of the TMF member's favorite comedians are? I'm a big fan of stand-up comedy and these people crack me up:
George Carlin
Richard Pryor
Robin Williams
Dave Chappelle
Chris Rock
Dane Cook
Carlos Mencia
Dave Attell
Sarah Silverman
Margaret Cho

Also, did anyone else keep up with Last Comic Standing this year? What did you think of Josh Blue?? I thought pretty much from the beginning of the series he would win, he was just adorable and freaking hilarious, and then as the show went on you could kinda tell he was the one drawing in the audience, from the promos and everything, they sorta made him the 'star', it sealed the deal for me when I saw him do a "Dahh-dahh-durr!" joke on Carlos Mencia's show... so I was glad he won and thought it was deserved. I hope Ty Barnett and Chris Pointer (2nd and 3rd place) get their own comedy special sometime though because they were also hilarious and really deserve it as well!!

Oh yeah, I gotta add Bill Cosby, too. His two routines: "Chicken Heart" and "To My Brother Russell Whom I Slept With" can still to this day make me snort soda out my nose in a fit of laughter.

And speaking of Dane Cook...I love his routine about going back in time and barging into the bedroom when his parents were having sex before he was born, smacking his dad on the ass, and screaming "I'm your SON!! From the FUTURE!!" And we simply can not forget "Christ Chex".

Mimi 😀

 

[He-Man]

Any of the ones on "Who's Line is it, Anyway?" ...especially when Wayne Brady has to make up songs about something (it'd be great to hear what kind of song parodies that guy and Weird Al could come up together lol)

 

[tickledorange]

Dane Cook

"A TIRE hit Mary in the FACE!"

 

[steph]

"Yanno, it's not they we WANT to DRIVE home drunk, but it's the only way to get the CAR back in the FUCKING GARAGE!"

...and the little comedy bits "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handey from back on SNL:

"To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, 'Hey, can you give me a hand?' you can say, 'Sorry, got these sacks.'"

 

[Strider]

I cannot believe I'm the only person who mentioned Bill Hicks so far...

 

[kered]

Lewis Black, Bill Cosby, George Carlin, George Lopez, Bob Newhart, Brad Garrett, Cheech and Chong, and Lenny Bruce are my picks among the "Modern" class of comedians.

From the "old school" I'll pick Red Skelton, Milton Beryl, The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Don Rickles, Bob Hope, and Harold LLoyd. I also enjoyed the Pete Smith Specials that occasionally were shown at the local theatre.
