the best stand up comics of all time

Stand up comedy is just about all the entertainment industry has left, so who is the best? There are dozens of comedians. Which few are arguably "the best."

I put Bill Hicks, George Carlin, and Patrice Oneal on top. Bill Hick's is the most under rated comedian there is. His act is about society, alot like George Carlin. Watch his "Revalations" show. As far as laugh your ass off comdey goes Patrice Oneal takes it to another level.

I really really really like Penn & Teller, I can't think of any others at the moment but I'll think of someone.

If anyone says Dane Cook, I'll kill you.

 

agreed. dane cook was funny for about 5 minutes.

 

The only thing that's good about him is his delivery, but that gets extremely tiresome when your jokes are stolen and lame, yelling the jokes and moving erratically doesn't make you a good comedian.

 

Ross Noble is an awesome comdedian. Just for the fact that you can go and see him on tour and get a totally different show to what the last town got. He's very spontanious and loves going of on a tangent.

 

Mitch Hedberg was great.

 

Michael Mittermeier and Kaya Yanar rocks the socks! =3~ They're so funny and I laugh hard when they tell jokes or make weird expressions! You just have to love them =3~

 

I like Rich Hall and Frankie Boyle, i think it might just be their foreign accents that do it for me

Steven Wright (Guy on the couch from Half-Baked)
George Carlin (of course)
Jim Carrey (back when he did small comedy shows)

 

No one mentions Russel Peters?

 

whos that?

 

I'm not the biggest fan of Russel Peters, I find him more annoying than funny.

 

nats-why do you keep changing your av?

 

I don't, it's a script.

 

so youre not doing that?

 

No, it does it on it's own.

 

cool
