**Midnight Panda** · 08-15-2009, 07:32 PM

oh and i like the achmed and peanut guy...

**Zargabaath** · 08-15-2009, 08:05 PM

My list comprises of Kat Williams, Jeff Dunham, Gabriel Iglesias who is my second favourite, and my current number one is Ralphie May! That man is so damn funny.

**KeybladerXIII** · 08-16-2009, 03:45 PM

I have to second Ralphie May, especially when he talked about airports and the "black man in a golf cart!!"

I also enjoy Kat Williams, Jeff Dunham, and the Blue Collar Comedy Boys!!

I love Jim Gaffigan and Mike Birbiglia. Che, I know you love your short, concise posts, but fuck you, I'm gonna go into some detail anyway.

I like how Jim Gaffigan has a "quiet voice" that is supposed to be what the audience is thinking of his material as he is saying it. And his take on things from the Bible and Catholicism ("If you've never been to a Catholic Mass... it's still going on." Yeah, I can relate to that!) And Mike Birbiglia is an awkward person, and he plays off his awkwardness by telling awkward stories. The best was about how he used to sleepwalk. Look it up. He also makes fun of his last name a lot, and his take on rap is awesome as well.

I also like some George Carlin. Mostly his bit about driving. Anyhoo...

Not sure why, but I can't really get into Jim Gaffigan. I like the idea of nailing what the audience is saying with the quiet voice, but a lot of other comedians do this as well. I think the whole hotpockets thing ruined him for me. It's not even that funny, and he totally overuses it.

**Dodie16** · 08-17-2009, 12:52 PM

I'm going to go ahead and third Zargabaath's and Keyblader's pick of Ralphie May. He is just a great talent and extremely funny.

I like Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Ron White of the Blue Comedy Tour, but I don't care for Larry the Cable Guy.

I am also a fan of Demetri Martin. Some don't like him because he's kind of random, but I think it's hilarious.

**ZantetsukeN** · 08-17-2009, 12:57 PM

My favourite is Lee Evans. I saw him live and I couldn't stop laughing. My face was killing me after the gig!

**Firefly** · 08-17-2009, 01:00 PM

I like Adam Sandler,Will Ferrel,Larry the Cable Guy,and...shit I forgot his name.Oh well.

**ZantetsukenZack** · 08-17-2009, 02:16 PM

-Jo koy
-Katt Williams
-Dane Kook
-(this guys really good I don't remember his name...he tells the joke about the sound of macaroni.)

Yeah, I figured other comedians have probably done that too, but he's the one that introduced me to that. Also, his newest CD is free of the "hot pockets" jokes... to be replaced by bacon jokes, ha.

rydia123: I like that skit you linked to. I think I've actually heard of this guy before, too. Anyhoo...

**winterborn86** · 08-18-2009, 01:43 PM

My fav stand up comedian is Lee Evens, I think he is sooo funny, even his facial expressions that he makes are funny to.
My fav actor comedian is Jim Carrey, he is soooo brilliant at what he does and I laugh so much watching him.

**Rufus shinra** · 08-18-2009, 09:56 PM

Defiantly Lee evans only ever seen him on the Tv i'd love to see him life he just goes all out
The way he changes his voice to suit the joke is amazing

**Nemesis93** · 08-31-2009, 09:08 PM

Kat Williams, Gariel Iglesies, and Jeff Dunhamm

**Padraic** · 08-31-2009, 10:45 PM

I like Russel Peters, a hilarious comic. "White people, please beat your kids" lol best routine of his

**MakotoKin** · 09-16-2009, 12:09 PM

Dane Cook, and Dave Chapelle. That's all I have to say haha.

**Midnight Panda** · 09-16-2009, 04:16 PM

dane cook is a comedian? i thought he was a singer

**MakotoKin** · 09-16-2009, 04:23 PM

....Haha..Nope, he's a comedian. He's quite the funny comedian too.

**Midnight Panda** · 09-16-2009, 04:36 PM

oh. ill have to go look him up then. and there was one guy i love who i just had on the tip of my tungue but lost it. ill edit my post when ii remember.... it was.... oh yeah here GEorge Lopez

**Sean** · 09-20-2009, 12:55 PM

Hmm...

Robin Williams, Lewis Black, Jeff Dunham, Dane Cook would probably be my top 4. Seen Lewis Black live once, seeing Robin Williams in November.

Far as movie/television comedians go, Adam Sandler, Jonah Hill, Andy Samberg.

Saw a standup by Daniel Tosh once I really liked too.

**Messiah** · 09-20-2009, 03:36 PM

Dave Chappelle is a genious! But so is Lee Evans! and Bill Bailey!

These 3 can keep me laughing for days on end!

**Tallulah** · 09-20-2009, 05:54 PM

Billy Connolly, Dara O'Briein (an Irish guy who does a lot of comedy game shows), and Michael Macintyre.

**Zerobanshee** · 09-20-2009, 06:30 PM

My favorites are Robin Williams, Lewis Black, Jeff Dunham, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engval {sp?}, Ron White, Carlos Mencia {sp?}, Adam Sandler, there is just too many to list, haha.
