I really liked him. He was my husband's favorite. I won't name him to give others a chance to find out for themselves. My favorite is Jerry Seinfeld. He makes me laugh so hard at his stand up routines that my stomach muscles hurt afterwards!

Wreckless · 10-06-2009, 12:15 AM

my favorite George Carlin bit was the baseball one

. Charles/Zoneboy might enjoy that clip as well

. He was great though, besides that. I loved his material

My favorites are

Jim Gaffigan
Chris Rock
George Carlin
Jackie Martling
Robin Williams
Adam Sandler
Eddie Murray
Richard Pryor

the first one may not ring an immediate bell, especially compared to the rest on my list of favorites, but seriously- Jim Gaffigan is f*cking funny, he's hilarious! Check him out

. I'll find some links.

Wreckless · 10-06-2009, 12:16 AM

Btw, you know who is a great, funny, unexpected funny stand up comedian?

Ellen DiGenerous

No I meant Mr. Oriole

yeah I did. I meant to say Eddie MURPHY lol. The guy in those fat movies now all of a sudden. Seriously, he's either in a movie with a fat woman, or about animals now. I'm always getting names mixed up lol- too many confusing, sound alike names! haha

I like Jim Gaffigan!! I've seen his act on Comedy Central, I like when he's talking about something and his voice goes up, and it also sounds like he's whispering. I think that's alot of his act. He's hilarious when he's on Conan.

Oh, and sorry to rub this in, but my sister & I are going to see Robin Williams on the 23rd, and we are going to be able to meet him!! We've been waiting for this since Jan., when I ordered the tickets. We were supposed to see him this past March, but a couple days before our show, he had his health incident, and the show was postponed.

And George Carlin ROCKS!! We got to see him, too, a while back. Never got to meet him though.

It's amazing of all the things he was able to remember in his act, especially that baseball bit that you mentioned!!

My favorite "comedian" is Groucho Marx. I'm a big fan of word play and I just love the way Groucho plays with words!

"That's the silliest thing I ever Hoid!"

comedyfreak · 10-06-2009, 04:07 AM

I like the legends plus these guys:

Bob Hope
Jack Benny
George Burns
Bill Cosby
Eddie Murphy
Chris Tucker
George Lopez

Wreckless · 10-06-2009, 05:12 AM

I've been watching non-stop George Carlin stand up videos all night on youtube, since this thread. The dude is absolutely hilarious. Not to mention he's the GOAT.

sunshinefizzy · 10-06-2009, 07:20 AM

Another top class comedian I really like is Don Rickles. He was on all the Dean Martin Roasts and he just makes rolf.

Bob Hope Roast:
"There's no booing, there's nop booing!!! One more outburst and we're gonna let Bob Hope get up and do his jokes!!!"

Frank Sinatra:
"My wife is a Jew. She wears so much jewlery she can't keep her head up."
(drops head on podium)

Jimmy Stewart:
"Jimmy, I spoke to the family you're doing WELL. Hey, Jimmy good morning!!!"

I could go on forever.

I agree. Groucho Marx was a genius!

In addition to Groucho, I also like Woody Allen, Bob Hope, Rodney Dangerfield, David Letterman, and Jerry Seinfeld.

LMFAO

Frank is great. I love whatever he does. sing, joke, be himself.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 10-06-2009, 10:47 AM

I take it we're just talking about stand-up?

Anyway, George Carlin was great. And oh man, Ellen Degeneres with her stand up? Sooo funny. I also like:

Kathy Griffin
Dane Cook (deal with it, most people my age think he's hilarious)
Lewis Black
Jon Stewart (I've seen him do stand-up live in 2005, it was awesome)
Lisa Lampanelli
Chris Rock

Probably others I can't think of.

MickeyMac · 10-06-2009, 12:07 PM

Without a doubt

Richard Pryor. He is the only stand up comedian that never bored me.
