Who are your favorite comedians?

I like Jim Carrey and Jack Black. Iā€™ve loved Jim since the first Ace Ventura and In Living Color (have I got that right? ā€“ years ago), and absolutely love him in ā€˜Me, Myself, and Ireneā€™. Jack Black first caught my attention when he was interviewed on a late-night talk-show (I mustā€™ve had jack shit to do) ā€“ I just remember laughing my arse off at him doinā€™ ā€œYa cā€™mon yeeehhh-haa!ā€ ā€“ he was moā€™foā€™inā€™ hilariousā€¦ I love him in Saving Silverman and Orange County (off the top oā€™ my head) (and I donā€™t mean ā€˜scalp meā€™).

crimminy, im sure there are some more but these are definitely the best. (you might notice the very british influence)

the first thing I wanted to be was a comedian. My young comedic idols were Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. But now, among many others, I utterly adore [size=150]Mr. George Carlin[/size]!

Mike Marino, a New Jersey comedian, also doing his first HBO special, has given me lotā€™s of tips on comedy for my act. So the last two weeks or so, Iā€™ve been going on stage, and before I do my normal act, I start yapping my mouth away about a few things. Far from proffessional, very far, but I get laughs.

George Carlin
Richard Pryor

just to throw another name out thereā€¦Lewis Blackā€¦the white album is hilarious

whatā€™s with people who, when you ask their favorite comic, name like ten comics?
itā€™s like their naming everyone they know.

GEORGE CARLIN IS THE BEST DONā€™T EVEN TRY TO DENY IT.

Monooq, people canā€™t decide on favourite comics easily because they are all so good and at different things, obv it all boils down to whose funniest but still, hard to decide methinks

You canā€™t have too many favorites. They are all great in their own way.

I agree that George Carlin is a master.

george carlin and dave chappelle are the best but i like george carlin because he says what no one else will say. he even has the guts too make fun of christianity

Bill Hicks George Carlin Eddie Izzard Steven Wright Jello Biafra

Marx Brothers.

Again, just in case Mr. Carlin is here in the forum, Iā€™ll make sure he gets the pictureā€¦

George Carlin, Sir, you are the Bomb. Not just some run-of-the-mill Scud trash, but straight nuclear.

I enjoy UCB, The Daily Show, Family Guy, Dave Chapelle, Will Ferrel, Adam Sandler, Larry David, and South Park as well.

Anyone seen ā€œWelcome to the Dollhouseā€ ?

Sienfeld

My faves are Ali G(not really stand up but funny), Ellen Degeneres, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock & Jim Carrey.

mitch hedberg; not for everyone, but when you really pay attention, oh man.

None other than Chris Rock himself.

Do yooooooooou understand theee wooords that are coming outtaā€™s maā€™ mouth?

  • Love that line :slight_smile:

Ramiā€™s quote was stated by none other than Chris TUCKER himself. Donā€™t worry, I make the name mix up myself.

Thankyou for pointing that correction out, :wink:
