Of course Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Prior, Cosby (despite his background) are great. Some of the more modern ones I like are Bill Burr, Louis CK, John Mulaney. John Cappurllo. Overrated: Jeff Dunham. Amy Schumer. Kevin Hart. Never thought any of them were very funny. Kevin Hart has some good movies, but he's not that great in standup. We get it, you're short and black. Next. We have the exact same taste. I'd add that I think Chappelle is hilarious too. And I loved that Rod Man from last comic standing, kind of faded out though. I always felt that Sam Kinison was overrated. Its funny for a few minutes, but gets old really quick to me. Edited January 21, 2019 by Mark80
eball Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Favorite all time is Seinfeld. Amazingly funny without needing to be filthy. And to show I'm fine with filthy, too, Chris Rock is hard to top. Eddie Murphy and George Carlin. Among female comics I like Joan Rivers (RIP), Ellen, Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, and Whitney Cummings. I think I'd have loved Rickles in the day. Sam Kinison had his moments but overall I wasn't a big fan. I don't follow enough individual male comics these days to know one from the other. Just listened to Sebastian Maniscalco on Stern last week so I'm going to watch his Netflix special.
LeGOATski Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Bill Burr and Joe Rogan right now. Hannibal Buress also. The ones I don't like I forget. I do remember George Lopez being terrible.

Daisy days Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Bert kreischer is my favorite right now Edited January 21, 2019 by BoldBully 1
Pete Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Bill Hicks, Bill Burr, Mitch Hedberg, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Lenny Bruce, and Richard Pryor 2

Stanhope I cannot listen to anymore. He’s progressed so little that I’m beginning to think it’s not an act, which is just sad.

Sandler, he single handidly keeps a bunch of untalented friends working for years, even though you would question how he continues to get work these days.....

I’ve never laughed once at either of them.

It's tough to find funny female comics, mostly cause they are all the same with the same routine. It's either talking about sex/dating and "female health issues"......

Iliza is solid too. Iliza is smoking hot to boot.

Which is fine -- everyone has their issues to deal with. 1
Another Fan Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 He was before my time but I was a big Andy Kaufman fan. Well if you even consider him a comedian. He was so ahead of his time in many ways. For example Borat kinda stole from Andy’s foreign man routine

Wacka Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Saw Dangerfield in Vegas about 5 years before he died. Did 40 minutes straight of jokes before he even took a drink of water. The sweating was not fake. Sat about 5 rows back rom the stage.
Teddy KGB Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 1 hour ago, eball said: you must have some other hangup Yes I want to laugh at their jokes. I laugh at Eliza and Whitney. Shumer and Silverman just aren’t funny. Surely you can find ONE funny clip ?

Purely anecdotal but I've watched a number of ex girlfriends suffer through my favorite stand-up specials and then crack up during a woman's stand up act while I took my turn pretending to laugh trying not to ruin her fun.

No comedian is always funny. I just find that men are much more quick to dismiss female comics as "unfunny." Jerry Lewis had that problem and was a complete ass about it -- which is ironic since he's about as unfunny as they come.
