I like Demetri Martin:



Also Dane Cook, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor... so many funny guys come to mind. Eddie Murphy was awesome. Tough question.

I just watched both of their DVDs and I am disappointed in Frankies. He's a good one liner but beyond that hes nothing more. Like Jimmy Carr, his shows are just good one liners.

Agree, that's why I prefer watching him in Mock the Week. MacIntyre on the other hand can keep jokes going on and on, He is also quite fluid in changing subjects.

Newest one added to my list is Jeff Dunham.

 

[TheBook]

1. George Carlin

[jag65]

Mitch Hedberg

 

[Sage]

Also Dane Cook

Eddie Izzard definitely tops my list by a wide wide margin. From there it’s roughly equal between Lisa Lampanelli, Gilbert Gottfried, Bobby Slayton, Bob Saget (yes, Bob Saget), George Carlin, and probably several others I can’t remember off the top of my head.

 

[OZZYGT]

Ex-comedian, Jerry Seinfeld.

 

[Danoff]

Victor Borge - also awesome.

 

[MP]

Hard to single out a select few, but I'll give it a go.

Rodney Dangerfield
Mitch Hedberg
Demetri Martin
Steven Wright
Probably lots more I can't think of at the moment.

 

[Omnis]

Victor Borge - also awesome.

Oh yes.

 

[McLaren]

Tough to say. Lewis Black, Dave Chappelle, Mitch Hedberg, Ron White, Bill Engvall, Jeff Dunham, Robin Williams, and Chris Rock, though I have to listen to him in intervals. Otherwise, his white jokes can get a tad annoying. But, I love his jokes on women & men.

 

[Scaff]

Bah no love for the greatest.

He may well be no longer with him, but for me the greatest ever would have to be Bill Hicks.

[Barracuda]

I'd have to say my ultimate favorite comedian would be Dennis Leary.

 

[Rykon Zero]

I'm surprised no one has said Brian Regan.

 

[Keef]

Nobody has said anything about Katt Williams yet...I suppose it's an acquired taste, lol.

Also, Lewis Black gets me fired up ever time.

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Hey SweetShop is it too late for you to put a poll on this thread?

 

[boiltheocean]

Hey SweetShop is it too late for you to put a poll on this thread?

It isn't but there are way too many comedians to reasonably add to a poll. I think its just best left as a statement.

 

[LolCats]

I Like Dane Cook. He's Awsome! Just a little Too Vulgar though..

 

[Cap'n Jack]

My favourites would have to be Ross Noble and Arj Barker. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to see them live, but I'd say it'd be well worth the money.

 

[Touring Mars]

There is a thread about stand-up comedians here, but this thread seems better placed and more general...

I've detailed my favourite stand-up comedians in that thread, but to add to that, my favourite comedians are Spike Milligan (mad genius creator of The Goon Show), John Cleese (the Milligan-inspired "head" of Monty Python), Ronnie Barker (one half of The Two Ronnies), Ben Elton (creator of The Young Ones and the man who made Blackadder funny), Chris Morris (Brass Eye, The Day Today), Rob Brydon (Marion & Geoff, Human Remains), Julia Davis (Human Remains/Nighty Night) and last but by no means least, my favourite current comedian and comic actor, Steve Coogan (I'm Alan Partridge, Saxondale... but none of his "funny" movies, though)

 

[exigeracer]

Mitch Hedberg has the mind of a genius. I adore his material.

 

[BayConRong]

Wew, I like Dat Phan. He is fooni mayne. I like hyis Eye baw joke.

there is also this Korean comedian that I like but i can't remember his name.
He is the one who was raised in like Fort Worth so he has this southern accent but looks Korean. I think he's funny even after i get over hearing him talk. "what's that clickin' noise?"
