I'm a George Carlin guy. I'm also a huge fan of David Cross.

Hell yeah, Horse. I love Carlin and Cross. Although, after Carlin's last HBO special, it seems he's starting to lose his delivery a bit. He's gone so far to the dark side. His bitterness toward humanity is off the charts!:grin:

I guess this is about stand-up comedians and I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but the other day I was flipiing channels and came across a movie with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin those guys were funny and very talented.

I find most of the stand-ups today very funny but not very talented or over the top full of themselves...

don't get me started on Martin and Lewis. Dean Martin is my idol and he HATED jerry lewis. yes they were funny and all but Martin absolutely hated Jerry Lewis. As much of a Dean Martin fan as I am I will NOT read Dean and Me because of what I've already stated many times DEAN MARIN HATED JERRY LEWIS! You might say that they "made up" when Sinatra brought them out on stage together but it was a publicity thing. Martin hated Lewis.

Now that I'm off that topic my favorite comedians are for standup, Robin Williams (the man is a genius) and Steve Martin. Also Dane Cook (some of his material not all of it). I don't know how you'd classify Jon Stewart and Steve Carell but I love their comedy. Jim Carrey and a slew of others as well. Those are my picks.

P.S. Why would you be ashamed to admit that you think Martin and Lewis are funny? I think they're hilarious and loved their comedy routines TOGETHER. Personally I hate Jerry Lewis. To me he's just an idiot. I can't stand the man at all. I do not like him. (I support his telethon thing though cause it's a good cause.) But to me I do not like him at all.
 
I saw Lewis Black live, if you think he's funny on T.V. hes way better live..
Mitch Hedberg was/is the only stand up i can hear the same joke twice and still laugh..
 
The funniest comedian I ever saw live was....JAY LENO! Back around '85, long before his Tonight Show days. He did a one and half hour show and I laughed until I though my cheeks would fall off.:laugh: :laugh:
 
ah my favorites ; Dick Gregory,Lenny Bruce,Richard Pryor,Robin Williams,Billy Crystal,Whoopi Goldberg,Dave Chappelle. but my all time idol was RED SKELTON
 
KOVAROVA just checked out some of Lewis Blacks stuff, and I like it, have to see what other material of his is out there.

I hear ya. After his wife died, he went over the edge.
 
I'm gonna go with Dane Cook, Mitch Hedberg, Dave Chappele, and The Amazing Jonathan
 
I gotta say Jarred Land...

Wait, commedian, not Canadian?

Then most for stand up Lewis Black (just got turned onto him) or pre-sobriety George Carlin and actor in commedy role, as much as Ben Affleck made me laugh in Pearl Harbor, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Leslie Neilson
