ITT : Best comedians. Before we start, though, let's make

fuck yeah Carlin#1 for sure. I feel like Patton Oswalt #2

>>737366907
Are we talking stand up or writer? If writer, then Mel Brooks

>>737367119
Stand up

>>737366907
Bill Burr has to be the greatest living dude.

As for dead dudes Mitch Hedburg was funny as fuck in a very unique way.

>>737367020
>Patton Oswalt #2
You must be joking

>>737367020

Dane Cook
Carlin
Richard Prior
Jeff Dunham
Bill Hicks

Side question.

Would there be a women in the top 50 or 100?

Carlin for sure then early 80s kinison and hicks at any point in his career

Brian Reagan
Jim Gaffigan
Eddie Murphy
Dave Chappelle

>>737367693
This guy gets it.

Bill burr has popped up on my radar lately and it's been pretty good.

Was pleasantly surprised at Tosh's standup skill

>>737368032
Amy Schumer
she's fucking hilarious

737367929 Dane cook is a joke stealing fag

>>737368032
No, women are universally trash at standup

I stayed up till 4 last night watching Doug Stanhope. I never considered him much before but hes actually pretty funny.

Chappelle
Louie CK
Mike Epps
Eddie Murphy
Gene Wilder

>>737366907
I never found George Carlin funny but he was insightful his take on life is very accurate if not morbid

>>737368612
Fuck, I forgot Ron White

Norm MacDonald

>>737366907
carlin used to be funny in the 70's but then he turned into a typical liberal douche. He should of kept doing drugs perhaps it was just old age and senility that made his act suck. Lucky for him he was able to ride his previous success to the grave.

>>737368661
Fucker was razor sharp at 80 years old

Inb4 all the libertariantards start in with muh Bill Hicks. Guy was a hack who spoke some truth to power (cool) in an ineffective and unfunny way (bad). Clear enough for you libertariantards?

>>737368661
>>737368760
>>737368799
He was edgy and said things only people thought when he started but then fell behind the edge and just complained about kids on his lawn.

Stewart Lee

OP here.
I always liked Dane Cook and Sarah Silverman....I think Amy Schumer is just trying too hard to be a raunchier SS. Plus, both Dane and Sarah are both very anti-semitic in their views.

He didn't fall behind, he and Lenny Bruce just opened the door for everyone else. It's like when people say

Yeah, that's because they're all ripping off Metallica

>>737368078

>>737368032
no

>>737369057

Was he doing jokes out of a joke book level hack? No, but he was stick hacky.

Dave Chappelle

I think Patrice O'Neal had the potential to be one of the greats. Too bad he drank too much grape soda and died too soon. RIP.

>>737369021
I had mad respect for Rodney, m8, until he became an abusive drunk and molested his daughter.

>>737369415
Yes.

>>737369509

There are plenty of funny British people, but none approach all-time-great status.

>>737369346

This clown isn't in the top 100.

Don't get me wrong, I love Bill Maher and his show, but he is a shit tier comedian who is only funny because he has great writers. His standup is mediocre at best.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiFgz9ndWKw

>>737369509
He was more original than funny, but I still enjoy watching his shit while stoned. I also like pie.

>>737369449

He is Irish. Try again.

Yes. While I enjoy him mocking religion, I watched his HBO special and it was really lackluster. Artie Lange, who I think is hilarious as a conversationalist, also has some stand-up specials and they were actually pretty weak.

>>737369670
Speaking as an actual Irish guy, no, he's not. He's American.

Half Jew Half Irish, raised Catholic. But as usual, the shitty side takes precedence so he's a jew.

where are the best comedians from and why is it Australia and Ireland

>>737368732
Norm Fucking MacDonald. Do people still know him? He has such a unique sense of humor, his delivery on Jokes is so good. Other than that, Bill Burr and Louis CK, fckn funniest guys in the businnes.

>>737366907
Jim Jeffries. Autistic Australians are inherently funny.

>>737369920

Norm's a comedian's comedian. Glad he was discovered because he's definitely one of the best.

>>737369872
That quote makes no sense.
He must be in the half below average.

>>737370052

voice actor doesn't count

>>737370052

Another hack who would steal his prime jokes from other comedians. He's the original Carlos Mencia/ Amy Schumer. Comedians would stop doing their sets if they found out he was in the audience.

>>737370150
You sir need to look up his stand up...the stuff that got him known from the 70s. Guy was a beast.

I guess that's why he killed himself

>>737366907
Anything before the 90's was kinda before my time, so it's hard to appreciate how groundbreaking those guys were. So legends:

Chappelle
Louis CK
Bill Burr

Others:
Hedburg was good, but even if he hadn't died I'm not sure how much more success he would have had. Hannibal Burress is decent. Jeselnik is decent. Daniel Tosh's "Completely Serious" is really good. Michael Che's special was better than I expected.

Norm MacDonald is an incredibly funny person, but I'm not sure standup is where he really shines. Like he'd be funnier giving a toast at my wedding or something.

>>737369246
I never thought his stand up was that great. His O&A stuff is really his legacy. He should have had a radio show but he wasn't willing to work within the system.

>>737370748
Caveat: Bill Burr's most recent standup was kinda weak imo.

>>737366907
Carlin, meh…Steve Martin when he used to be funny.

Yes he did at the end. When he was doing his last special he was terrible.

What is your metric? He did more long essay rants towards the end, but he could still write good comedy AND manage to take good snipes at establishment.

The term red pill was thought up by two trannies.

>>737366907
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Savage cunts

“Canada is a land of contrasts. On the western side we have the Yukon, which is filled with snow, rock, caribou and people. On the eastern side we have Quebec, known for its good food, snow, rock, people, and probably animals. So which side do we pick? ‘Oh.’ British Columbia has marijuana and it is essentially legal. ‘Wow so we can eat this?’ We ate this delicacy and it was nutty, crisp, everything I would say marijuana should be if I had eaten it before. People were having a great time too, laughing and cheering as I ordered more and more of these nugget buds of fun. ‘Mm, very good.’ All in all our bill came out to a number I’d rather not reveal over the air… but what I can reveal… is that the food… is mild, happy, calm and an excellent reflection on Canadian culture where this feisty plant first took root sometime around Jesus. ‘Man this is good’ I like to ride my bike.” – Anthony Bourdain

Definitive top 5 for me, these guys molded the standup that I perform each day.
1.Louis ck, the guy can get away with saying anything because hes just that natural onstage
2.Richard priar, hes the father of modern stand up. Period.
3.Dave Chapelle, for making what guys like Carlin and Priar digestible for pretty much anybody
4. Bill Burr, easliy one of the funniest and most natural joke writer. The fact that hes dropped 1 new hour each year and its still fucking funny should say enough. Theres no one alive that riight now with the quantity and quality
5. Carlin, the guy who pushed the envelope so far that it became the norm and almost the expectation to say some funny and unpopular shit.

Socialist here. Bills message goes beyond class-consciousness or lack thereof. Mother fucker talked about mushrooms and other psychedelics as well as philosophical questions like one's place in the universe. If you don't like Bill Hicks you can eat a dick, regardless of your political affiliations.

Side note, I absolutely love Doug stanhope's comedy and have a profound respect for him as a comedian but I don't agree with his politics whatsoever. Stop being a kid.

I like stand up, and I like Tool a lot. So when I found out Maynard was bros with Hicks and used sound clips of him and lyrics inspired by him and shit, I looked up all his specials. I was pretty disappointed. I laughed about 5 times through several hours of material.
