Who is your favorite comedian and why? I'm still thinking about it.

Seinfeld is the masta :thumbsup

Jim Carey. Don Rickles cracks me up..Robin Williams

carlin

I can still watch almost any Jim Carey movie and crack up (Ace Ventura and Dumb an Dumber kill me!!!)

I love Leslie Nelson as well! In my opinion, he is one of pioneers of slap stick comedy! :thumbsup

Richard Jenni! He's the best stand up comedian! :)

I'm watching Dumb and Dumber right now! Awesome movie! :1orglaugh

It is a classic! I've yet to watch the sequel just because I know it's going to suck. From what I heard, it doesn't even come close. :(

I love goofy humor! :thumbsup

Don't bother - It's terrible! I couldn't even sit through the entire movie! I am glad that I only rented it! :)

Dave Chapelle...he is the man! :thumbsup

and...Denis Leary! Both are the shit

Jim Carey's the best!

Louis Ramey, Pablo Francisco, Nick Swardson, Carlin, Seinfeld, Murphy, Prior, and Chris Rock

Tracey Morgan, Dave Chapelle, Queens of Comedy, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Fallon. So hard to choose...

Luis Black, Robin Williams, Red Foxx, Johnathan Winters, Buddy Hacket, Jimmy Durante, Buster Keaton.

Carlin is my fav.. But goddamn I just started getting into Carlos Mencia and he cracks me up big time!

Charlie Viracolla(sp?) is pretty damn funny also.

i really don't think i can pin it down to one person..

some people can make u laugh with just a look they give or a short one liner right off the bat.. and others take time to set it up and really hit you hard when they nail it.. and then others choose topics that don't seem funny at first but get laughs because of the riduculous truths hidden just under the surface..

makes me realise just how big comedy is.. I 'll have to think about it some more or make a top 5 list..

I'll tell you a fucked up story -

Couple years ago I'm all set to go to see George Carlin live. It's a good day and my buddies and I are driving through town. BAM. A woman on a bicycle shoots out from a side street and I nail her head on doing 35mph. Keep in mind I was driving a 5.0 liter F-150.

I'm pretty broken up about this. She ended up being fine, but at the time she hit the ground and didn't move. On top of that, seconds after the hit, I mean seconds, some guy comes up pretending to be a friendly face, but instead pick pockets me. I lost $3000 (cash, checks, & credit) and my license so I got a ticket when the cops came.

Anyway, I get through the ordeal and I'm not in any mood to see comedy that night. But we already paid for the tickets so I figured I might as well go. The very first bit Carlin starts talking about is running over people in traffic accidents and how you should leave the scene of the crime "...because they got enough going on without you getting in the way. I mean come on! They just got hit by a car!!".

It's hilarious in retrospect, but I thought I was going to die when he was talking about it.

Oh yeah, i forgot about Chapelle. His show is hands down the funniest work on television right now. That episode that feature the white family named Niggar was unreal. And the race draft was crazy shit. Awesome show. :thumbsup

Chris Rock made me laugh, a lot, on his special HBO :thumbsup

Howey

Jim Carey

Chris Rock:thumbsup

Actually, Leslie Nielsen was a serious dramatic actor until he did Airplane, he's just done so many slapstick roles since then that it seems like he's been doing it forever. He's hilarious, he should have switched to comedy 30 years before he did:)

Good is an understatement:)

one of my favorites for sure.. shame he's not around anymore.

Chappelle
Rock
Farrel
Carrey
Murphy (in the 80's; Raw, Delirious)

Carlin is my favorite, seen him twice live. Somebody mentioned Gallagher, one of the best live acts around. Sure he smashes stuff, but the guy is clever to the max and some of the gadgets he creates are sheer genius. Somebody also mentioned Bill Hicks; greatest comedian I'll never get to see:(

Phyllis Diller and Joan Rivers are also a riot live. Both times I saw Joan she was double-billing with Don Rickles, perfect match up.
Standup comedy is my thing. I've been to see more comedians than music concerts.

Billy Connolly is another favorite of mine.
