I waver on Tosh. I enjoy a lot of his stuff, but the "I'm going to offend you" thing gets really old.

He had a special before or right around the same time he started doing Tosh.0 that I thought had some funny. But ever since that show took off I think he saw where his fanbase was growing and just doubled-down on the douchiness in his act. Good for him and probably the right move career-wise, but its just not for me anymore.

I was thinking about Sam Kinison the other day (you probably don't even want to know what goes on in my mind). Anyway - I remember his cover of "Wild Thing," even though I was super-young at the time. Wasn't he on a sitcom when he passed away?

That I don't remember I guess. He didn't have a huge role in Back To School but this clip of him kills me every time. [video=youtube_share;Fj5k6toS7i8]http://youtu.be/Fj5k6toS7i8[/video]

I searched Wiki. :smile: I was wrong on the dates, he had already been cancelled when he was in the accident, but the show was Charlie Hoover, he played a little dude inside someone's head:

I enjoy Brian Regan & Jim Gaffigan. A truly funny, yet family-friendly comedian is Tim Hawkins. Here is his take on Aging Rock Stars (I love the Garth Brooks song parody at the end):

Top 5 and bottom 3:

1. Robin Williams -I can listen to his golf spiel for days
2. Louis CK -Sometimes I don't like a lot of vulgar language but for some reason, I think he does it well
3. Mitch Hedberg -His style was unmatched
4. Aziz Ansari - I think he's pretty funny and will continue to be.
5. Jim Gaffigan

Bottom: Dane Cook is awful, as is Demetri Martin, not a big Engvall fan either.

The guy with the puppet also ties for bottom.

I love some that have already been mentioned a bunch, Louis CK is probably my favorite I guess, but Aziz, Mitch Hedberg are funny, sometimes I like John Mulaney.

Probably my second favorite right now is Hannibal Buress though and I haven't seen him mentioned yet, dude's hilarious.

I haven't liked any of his stuff since, but that first CC special of his came out when I was in college and my roommate and I thought it was the funniest thing ever at the time.

I agree with this.

My absolute favorite was the flip chart with just a circle on it and he says "this is a pie chart about procrastination".

It's like we're the same person.

Yea, its not like the charts and stuff aren't funny, they just have diminishing returns after the first time you see it.
