THE MAN.
You wouldn't see this guy coming. And then you'd be dead.
LOOK AT HIM GO.
Or "who are your favorite guys?!" Plural. Who do you think is the most awesome or bad ass guy that you know of, and why?! Here are some rules: Has to be someone we know of (No "My dad!" or "My husband!" bs) and they have to be alive still.
*Bruce Campbell: Makes me happy. His chin is amazing! He could probably cave in the skulls of the undead with that thing-he doesn't need a chainsaw! He is also hi-larious! And a decent writer, too; check out his autobiography, "If Chins Could Kill."
*Clint Eastwood (not to be confused with the kid masquerading as him on these boards): The Man With No Name. Dirty Harry. Walt Kowalski. The man has been playing the bad ass for years. He could make any man standing next to him feel inadequate. And he has the best one liners ever. "Go ahead. Make my day." "You gotta ask yourself the question, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" "Get off my lawn!" He is pretty much the daddy of all action heroes.
*Aaron Barrett: The front man for possibly the coolest band ever, Reel Big Fish. The man is amazing on not only the guitar, but also his vocals! He is also much better than you. When you go to his show, he will kick your ass, and then send you home crying. You just gotta roll with the punches, kids.
James Dewees: Reggie Lives!! An amazing, creative, and often hilarious artist. Though his later stuff has been much more serious. He can do the keyboards, drums, and sing/scream (at the least!) and do it well.
Conan O'brien: Finally, we have a real comedian hosting the Tonight Show! Conan is friggen' the man. That hair is amazing, and he's so ungodly tall! I love his self-deprecating humor, as well. If a joke doesn't go well, he will dwell on it until it goes well. He tells it like it is!
Jackie Chan: The guy is amazing. Does all his own stunts, and has nearly died multiple times as a result. He has like a hole the back of his skull from like a many foot fall from the top of a building, or something. He also has a fairly good sense comedic timing.
Finally... ME! Because I am awesome! Isn't it obvious? I kick so much ass, it would've been a crime not to mention myself! Anyhoo...

King Buzzo - He leads one of my favourite bands (Melvins) and is damn good at what he does. If I hear his name tied to any music I automatically feel a need to hear it.
Kevin Smith - aka Silent Bob. I've not disliked a single film of his I've seen and the man brought me my Jay and Silent Bob fix.
Joe - The greatest man alive! Seriously if you combined the genetic or other materials of Chuck Norris, the Terminator, Jay and Silent Bob, Albert Einstein and some famous rock musician, Joe would very likely be the end result.

Now, I agree with a lot of the people that have been stated already. Buzzo, Bruce Campbell, Clint Eastwood, Aaron Barrett. All cool dudes. But there is, in my opinion, only one "Guy."
Mike. ****ing. Patton.
Patton is one of the founding members and lead singer of Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, and Peeping Tom. He's also worked with John Zorn, Faith no More, Merzbow (a personal favorite noise musician of mine), Tomahawk and Lovage. He's one of the most, if not the most versatile musicians in the industry today. And let us not forget this video, where Mike says what we've all been thinking.
Oh, and if anyone makes an "I Wanna be the guy" joke, I will neg rep you. That's not a joke. You have been warned.

Let's go into the "archives" in "Washington D.C." and find out how people "masturbated" in the "roaring 20's."
Crao Porr Cock8. Bitch.
Dave Chappelle - " Rick James Bitch ". I just love this guy, I mean he is the only one that can truly make me laugh.
He is so fricking hilarious. It's shame that he quit Chappelle's Show but he is still the best stand up comedian.
Oh and I have to agree with Hellfire about Clint Eastwood, he is truly the daddy of all action heroes.
What the **** did you just say? You use that tone with me again, and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron. Anybody is better than that Eastwood *****. I mean, the guy is supposed to be an actor, but instead of acting, he just stands around, smokes a cigar, and squints. And those one liners are so lame that they make me want to stab myself in the face with a soldering iron.
Speaking of stabbing people in the face with a soldering iron, Christopher Walken is one hell of a bad ass. The guy dances in every single one of his movies, but never ends up looking gay for doing so.
David Hasselhoff is another one of those incredibly awesome guys. He knows how to eat a cheeseburger drunk, he's hooked on a feeling, and he never cries.
And finally, Andy Garcia is one hell of a cool guy. I mean, the best scene in The Godfather Part III was when he showed up on that police horse in Atlantic City and shot Joey Zasa a few times in the back. That one scene made the entire movie for me.
Oh, y'wanna fight?! We can hurl e-threats at one another! I'll stick a fork up your nose, take out a piece of your brain, and eat it! Gotta put some soy sauce on that mothahfuckah, too.
I have to agree with Kevin Smith and Mike Patton. I'd also like to make mention of two comedians that have been growing on me a lot as of late: Jim Gaffigan and Mike Birbiglia. Jim Gaffigan likes to talk about food,and Birbiglia likes to talk about awkward situations he's been in. And they're hilarious! Anyhoo...

John Stewart, Lewis Black, Stephen Colbert, Christopher Walkin for funny, and alive, personalities.
Bruce Lee for all-time. He'd flying kick the shit out of you, anytime, any place.
Also, Rick Astley, for without him, we'd not have the glorious Rick Roll.

But to actually answer the question:
Larry Fitzgerald: The man catches footballs. That's all he does. He's a machine at it. And he celebrates them as genuinely as anyone I have ever seen.
Definite props to John Stewart and Colbert for giving us the funniest look at the news. And sadly, often the most unbiased look at the news.
And Dan Haren. The dude pounds the strike zone with reckless abandon, and he's the only part of the D'backs season so far that hasn't made me cry.
Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust
