I need of Laughter

[Faris]

I've been trying to get some nice standups but im failing at finding any good ones.

people talk about Dane Cook guy alot, and in my opinion, he is by far the worst comedian ever.

Also, I watched Carlos Mancia(sp) he is also terrible, very repetitive, mexican this mexican that. boring shit.

Axis of Evil is terrible as well, I'm arab so the jokes about Arabs aren't very new to me, and they're pretty lousy.

Peter Russells is alright, but his jokes are getting old, as mentioned in a previous topic about him.


My type is Ed Byrnes (saw his standup recently, hilarious guy), Chris Rock, Eddy Murphy (Raw/Delirious), Dave Chapelle, and maybe George Carlin (haven't seen a full standup, just a small compilation)

help please.

P.S: "I need of laughter", fucking fail; someone edit the title lol.

I really enjoy Gabriel Iglesias's "Hot and Fluffy," and recommend it.

You've probably already seen Jeff Dunham 'cause he's a big Youtube hit, but it's not on your list soo..

YouTube - Jeff Dunham - Achmed the Dead Terrorist

[Howard Roark]

I think you mean Russell Peters but yeah, his range of comedy isn't huge

check out anything by Bill Hicks


or for non-standup, a couple of good shows: "Important things with Demetri Martin" and "The John Dore Show"

each showcase the comedians' bizarre sense of humor

Can't go wrong with the classics:
Eddie Murphy
Richard Pryor
George Carlin
Red Fox
Anything from Def Jam (I prefer Chris Tucker)

Some of the stuff I've been laughing at recently:
Paul Mooney (Richard Pryor's old writer)
Lisa Lampanelli
Lewis Black
Dave Attel

Can never really go wrong with George Carlin's material. I'm surprised I haven't seen Katt Williams listed yet, as he's pretty hilarious as well. Lewis Black has some good stuff, you might also want to check out Kevin Smith's 'Q&As' which aren't really standup, but more questions with 20 minute, usually entertaining answers. I think he has 3 of them, and they're all quite lengthy, but some of it is really good.

Needs more Mitch Hedberg

[ertyu]

Daniel Tosh is hilarious

Jim Gaffigan is pretty good but his sense of humor is slightly more "kiddy" some people would say, but I like observational humor.

[Eggroll]

Louis C.K., absolutely hilarious.

How did I forget Katt Williams? I saw his uncensored special last weekend and almost pissed myself laughing. "Poor little Tink-tink..."

Patton Oswalt and Jim Gaffigan are kick ass stand ups.

Patton Oswalt and Jim Gaffigan are kick ass stand ups.

I've hated every standup routine I've found online or on TV from Patton Oswalt, with the exception of the one I saw live. He was actually pretty funny at Blizzcon.

[Bwelch]

Stephen Lynch! Surprised no one mentioned him yet. ;o
