Friday OT - Favorite comedian

[Mr Janny]

Cake or death?...

Umm, cake, please.

uhh... death? I mean CAKE!

YOU SAID DEATH FIRST!


Also, the entire bit about how the British colonized the world through the cunning use of flags is amazing.

"I claim India in the name of Britain!"
"You can't claim it, we live here!"
"Do you have a flag?"
"There are 500 million of us!"
"No flag, no country. Those are the rules... that I just made up!"

I like to listen to LE. His post game pressers are sometimes as good as it gets.

 

[Cyclonick182]

Has to be Dov Davidoff.

 

[ISUME]

Is it allowed for us to add Michael Floorwax to this thread, as an homage to the Sklars?

HENDERSON

 

[bpmdu]

For me it would be George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg, and Dave Chappelle. Really surprised to see Robin Williams on here, haven't found that guy funny since.. well, ever.

Oh man, can't believe someone has never laughed at him, but I guess to each their own.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Rodney Dangerfield. Then again, you're all young'uns so I guess it makes sense.

You can't claim this. We live here!

Do you have a flag?

EDIT: Janny beat me to it.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

Two more to add--Jay Mohr and Kevin Nealon.

 

[mctallerton]

It's tough to beat Louis CK, but I also really like John Mulaney

I just saw that he has a show on Fox starting October 5th.

 

[CarlHungus]

Mitch Hedburg, Louis CK, and Carlin

 

[Gonzo]

Bill Hicks. "Brilliant" doesn't quite capture it. Look around and you'll see plenty of comedians **cough Denis Leary cough** who completely ripped his vibe off and made a career out of it. Hicks died in 94 at the age of 33.

I have been re watching some old insomniac with Dave attell, he is great

 

[timhisu]

My List:

Big Jay Oakerson
CK
Jim Florentine
Joe List
Mark Normand
Brian Regan
Dan Soder

 

[cyinne]

It isn't really a comedian, but it is the old school Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. All of those comedians from back in the day just crushing famous people. I would have loved to run around with that group of comedians back in the 60's and 70's. Dom DeLuise, Don Rickles, Jonathan Winters, **** Martin, Phyllis Diller, Bob Newhart, George Burns just to name a few.

I also love Jerry Seinfeld's stuff and recently Amy Schumer.

Brian Regan is my favorite, Ive shown many of classes the bit on the spelling bee. Im a fan of Josh Blue and Michael Jr as well.

I have been on a stand-up comedy kick as of late and listening to a bunch of specials on Netflix/YouTube/etc. My favorites are probably Aziz Ansari, John Mulaney, and Gabriel Iglesias. I wish I would have gone to see Iglesias at Stephens last fall. (Let the haters hate.)

Hannibal Buress is also pretty good although hit-or-miss I think.

 

[mctallerton]

Did any Mulaney fans watch last night, I thought it was pretty bad but will keep watching to see if it improves.

Same here. Terrible acting with as much as I love him.
