Comedians

[NJNetz]

Recommend some to me. I'm a big fan of Dane Cook (Yea, shut up), and I kinda like Mike Birbigilia; but that's where my list ends.


I would appreciate you posting some videos, instead of just throwing out names.

 

[GMJ]

Louis CK. If you can find his "Shameless" special, watch that. Ghoti back me up on this.

Try to look for Robin Williams' near 2 hour special. I forget the name sadly. Chris Rock is great too.

 

[Really Lost One]

Definitely check out Lewis Black, he's funny as hell.

He has more videos on Youtube if you're interested. He's my favorite comedian.

Also, Margeret Cho is pretty funny. You may not understand her comedy very well, I don't know, but I think she's really funny if you understand the Asian lifestyle

[pegs]

I saw Louis CK, he really was hilarious.

This guy's not for all, but I thought he was really funny...Demetri Martin:

I'm going download the audio from limewire and put it on my Ipod. On my way to school, I'll check it out.


Lewis Black? I'll watch it tomorrow.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Demetri Martin</div>

They had this marathon on comedy central a while back, and he was featured in a 30 minute special. I hated his standup, because his jokes were all over the place. Like one second, he would be talking about birds, and then suddenly switch over to another subject. And I didn't laugh much, either.

 

[Moo2K4]

Personally, I love Demetri Martin. I saw his hour long standup special on Comedy Central and bought his CD the next week. As it is, here's my list, in no particular order:

Demetri Martin
Mitch Hedberg
Mitch Fatel
Dave Attel
Lewis Black
Louis C.K.
Jeff Dunham

If it matters, my favorite is probably Lewis Black. I saw him live when he came to Hancher Audtiorium here in Iowa back in September. Tickets were expensive but damn was it worth it. He was hysterical.

 

[NJNetz]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Jeff Dunham</div>

Oh man, I completely forgot about Jeff DUNNN-HAMMM. Hilarious; I loved Sweet Daddy D and Peanut.

 

[ghoti]

I love both Louis CK and Dimitri Martin.

I have seen almost every HBO special ever made and I think "Shameless" the one I laughed at the hardest. I have it in my music player to destressify myself.

This is probably my favorite comedy routine of all time. It's Bob Nelson at the 9th Annual Young Comedians' Special.

[Run BJM]

Dave Chappelle Is EPIC. I literally can't believe how funny Killin' Them Softly is. WATCH THAT SHIT KID.

Jim Gaffigan is also hilarious. Check out his special, Beyond the Pale.

Also check out the Insomniac tour special thing with Dave Attel, Sean Rouse, Greg Giraldo, and Dane Cook. Lots of good comedians there and some Dane Cook for you from back when he was good.

Lisa Lampinelli is another one who is hilarious and brutally funny.

Kevin James (aka the main guy on The King of Queens) is also really funny. Hes got a comedy central special from hella years back that is hilarious.

Nick Swardson of Grandma's Boy and Reno 911 fame is also one of my favorites though hes not as well renowned as the other comics on here.

Pablo Francisco is also HILARIOUS.

Of course you've also got Chris Rock who I love. I think Bill Bellamy is really funny. Demitri Martin is ok, kind of hit or miss with me though. I think George Lopez is HILARIOUS but a lot of people are luke-warm toward him (that TV show hes in sucks ass though). Zach Galifianakis is funny and as good as his standup in I find him even more hilarious in random TV shows hes in. Ron White is the only funny one out of all the Blue Collar Comedy tour. Bill Burr is pretty funny, hes been in Chappelle's show too which is a bonus.

I don't find Hedburg or Louis Black very funny at all. Theres a bunch of other ones I don't like that are considered great comedians, it all depends what you like.

More Bob Nelson

[bbwchingy0007]

Jimmy Carr, Omid Djalili, search Live at the Apollo comedy on google and watch the videos. Some are great

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Who's that fat guy on Comedy Central? Love him.
Dunham is the shit.

 

[Dumpy]

If you want to try performance art--as opposed to standup--I adore Rowan Atkinson, the modern Charlie Chaplin.

 

[Charles]

I'm a big fan of Jim Norton, who was on the Louis CK show Lucky Louie. He's probably known best for being on O & A. A clip from the Tonight Show-

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Russel Peters, but I'm biased.
Check him out, though.

 

[ghoti]

Why are you biased?

 

[Chutney]

I love Peters too (although I might be biased as well).

Indian-Canadian. All my white friends think he's great too, though.

 

[binz]

Russell Peters is hilarious.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

The guy who opens for him was at a wedding I was at. It was pretty funny.

 

[bbwMax]

Can't go wrong with lee Evans.

He's been telling the same jokes for like a decade now.



Gotta give David Cross some love.

 

[NJNetz]

I'm now a big fan of Louis CK. Shameless was hilarious.


Bob Nelson is pretty funny too. I liked the whole football joke.

And Brian, I didn't like that video you posted of Lewis Black. Wasn't funny to me, at all.

 

[Moo2K4]

I will officially second Nick Swardson. I recently watched his CC special, and it was quite funny. He reminds me a lot of Dane Cook though, especially with his delivery.
