I need of Laughter

[Dimmauk]

Shakespeare was hilarious! His early stuff was genius. Everyone always steals from him. Seriously guys, give credit where credit is due.

Dear god so many Replies. Uh,

Pablo Fransisco was mentioned..
Dat Phan
Lewis Black
Gabriel Iglesias (Was mentioned too, i REALLY Recommend him)
George Carlin

Im sure theres more...

I couldn't remember Iglesias' first name... also forgot Francisco and his hilarious impressions (He does Don LaFontaine so well).

Dat Phan... eh... he's kind of funny but his routine is the same thing since he won the first competition. LOLIVIETNAMESEANDSOMYMOM. It got old.

Lewis Black is always hilarious.

Tommy Davidson had an old standup routine they used to play on Comedy Central a while back, it was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

Are you playing around? Dennis Leary's No Cure for Cancer was a rip-off of Bill Hicks' material and persona. Bill was genius, and way ahead of his time. True comedy. I mean, I also laugh at Dennis Leary, but you have to give credit where it is due.

I will admit that Hicks deserves credit for a bunch of material that Leary used. Although personally, while they are similar in ways, I just never liked Bill Hicks' delivery. The material was good, I just like how Leary presents things much better.

Bill Cosby - Himself is probably my favorite stand up ever. The man knows how to deliver a perfect punchline without having to drop a f-bomb every 5th word like some comedians do today. In fact, I don't think he curses a single time during the stand up.

This! I can never ever eat chocolate cake with thinking of that stand up. The whole stand up is still gold to this day. He doesnt cuss at all, he uses cuss words like Yosemite Sam.

I agree; this is awesome every time I see it. He does curse once, though, when talking about people who drink and use drugs. Still though, it's fantastic.

How is it that no one mentionned Gilbert Gottfried?

Hefner Roast
Aristocrats

[Elvis]

Denis Leary. I love this man. Fuck Bill Hicks.

Eddie Izzard is fucking hilarious, I recommend "Dress To Kill", his best standup in my opinion.

Check out some of the Comedy Central Roasts as well, William Shatner and Flava Flav had me crying.

THE HOLY TRIO

[Myst]

Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook. Whenever I watch them I can only marvel at their genius and wonder how they come up with such great routines and present them in such a hip way.

are you out of your mind?

[Stumblingdrunk]

I'm actually going with the wife to see Dane Cook on the seventh >.> I don't mind him. There are times where he's funny as shit.

never

[Dimmauk]

I think Dave Attell is funny.

[Pringles]

How can you mention Bob Saget as funny? He has moments but honestly most of his stand up material is watered down garbage he uses all the time and spices it up by dropping "fuck" every 30 seconds. Plus I haven't seen a single stand up of his where he doesn't mention Full House at least 3 times in some way or an other.

Gabriel Iglesias is funny and all the other greats named as well are worth watching/listening to.
