Who's your favorite Comedian?
 

Since 1992, Bernie Mac has been my favorite Comedian.
There are some funny one's out there; but I like Bernie's misdirection-style humor. He gets you leaning one way, and the joke comes from a differnent angle, catching you off guard.

Before Bernie, my favorite was George Carlin. But, with George Carlin & Dennis Miller- if you don't posses a vocabulary and you aren't up on today's events- you'll miss a lot of their humor.

I grew up sneaking around and listening to Richard Pryor & Eddie Murphy; I've watched Chris Rock grow into a stellar comedian as well...

But man, I saw this guy on HBO's One Night Stand named Bill Burr. I'd never heard of him before, but that SOB had me rolling...

Have you ever laughed so hard that your mouth was wide open- but no sound was coming out, tears were streaming down your face, you couldn't really breathe and your stomach felt like it was gonna cramp if you kept laughing?

That's what I'm talking about...

If you want a good laugh, and you have Comcast's Digital Cable On Demand Cable service (Channel 1); go to Premium channels, HBO, Specials, Comedy, then choose ONS #60, or #59, I forget.

It's 30-minutes well spent... The first 3-5 are kinda slow, but the rest.... You won't regret it.

There is only one I listen to or watch. Bill Cosby. I can't tell you how many times I have been in tears from laughing at is stories.

Mitch Hedberg.....RIP
Carlos Mencia

steven wright :thumbsup:


steve sweeney (local guy in boston)

seinfeld

...zap!

to echo UC....Mitch Hedberg

and then add...Patton Oswalt

I've always been a big fan of George Carlin, I think he is hilarious. I also like a guy named Bob Marley. He's not well known but, he's from my homestate of Maine and I think he is "wicked" funny. :rocker:

**Edited**

I almost forgot Ron "Tater Salad" White...."Ya got tha tater!"

dane cook

CIA's list is pretty good,
I can add Russell Peters though.

I don't think he's a comedian, but he's a funny actor...Owen Wilson.

Lewis Black, Mitch hedberg, Dane cook (esp when he goes off on hecklers), Bob Marley (Whers's your muth-a?) Ron "Tater salad" White, Mitch Fatel (I love muffins & Puddy) I can't pick just one..... :lol:

While I appreciate the intellectual humor of a guy like Dennis Miller, the guys that always end up having me rolling on the floor are the dry, dead-pan guys:

New School: Steven Wright

Old School (and WAY before my time): Pat Paulson

Seinfeld
Cosby
Local Boston guys .. Steve Sweeney and Don Gavin
Dennis Miller
Dane Cook
Greg Geraldo
Carlin.... actually I dig stand up so much there's just too many for me to keep
listing ....................... :thumbsup:

Rodney Dangerfield, may he rest in peace.
