Favorite Comedians
 

Basically, who is your favorite comedian, who makes you laugh the most as far as stand up goes. It doesn't matter if the comedian also does acting, most do that so they can be included. Just tell us: who are your favorite comedian(s)?

Me? I've got 3 and these are IN order

3. Patton Oswald

2. Yucko the Clown

And least but certainly not least, the magnificent genius that is....

1. George Carlin :D

My favorite comedians are Chris Rock and Lil' JJ.

george carlin. hands down.

i also like carlos mencia, but those are the only two that stand out. i like all comedy though.

My favorite comedians would have to be Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Martin Lawerence.

Stand Up Comedians: Carl Barron (How's it goin'?), Adam Hills

Acting Comedians: Steve Carrell (LOUD NOISES!!) 8D

LEWIS BLACK.

Demetri Martin of course!

Lewis Black and Dennis Leary.

Chespirito... :macwor:

Eddie Murphy

George Carlin

Steven Wright

Tim Allen

so far...:frankiesmile:

I don't watch much stand-up, but I do like Carlos Menica and...Dane Cook (which is probably going to get me shot:wiltshock: ).

IL, Dane Cook is a fave comedian of mine too.
Dane Cook (MFC! ;D Eh, IL?), Richard Horvitz, Sacha Baron Cohen & Adam Sandler.

My list is:

1: Stephen Colbert
2: Rick Mercer
3: Mike Macdonald
4: John Panette

I don't care for comedians that rely on alot of foul langauge, but I'm just old fashiond that way.;)

That depends on the use of it, certain comedians are only able to be funny when they use fowl language. It's like a poor man's running gag cause in truth swearing actually is funny, Samuel L. Jackson proved that with his use of his now infamous "Mother" line.

George Carlin I love and he uses lots of fowl language, but what I love about him is that he uses his mind as much as his mouth. He really examines things in our lives and opens us up to the funny little things and adds the fowl language to spice it up.

Every comedian uses a different style and swearing is actually more effective then you think. But it's all in a matter of tastes, and it's all in a matter of the comedian's capability.

Good point! One of my favourite comedians is Carl Barron. His style is Observation Humour, and his use of language makes it funnier.

Eg; Carl is talking about his time in the US (he's from Australia):
'They don't say 'see you later' in America. You can say that. They think you're coming back. I went, 'see you later', he said 'when?'. 'No, see you later', he said 'where?' I just went '*beep* off'!' 8D

1. Dane Cook for SURE. I love him so much.

2. CRAIG FERGUSON IS GOD. Cheeky wee monkeys!! :D

3. Bill burr always makes me laugh.

4. Wanda Sykes is HILARIOUS. She really is.

Do you mean Dane Cook? :bloocross: just checking. Another comedian I love, well actually there several comedians, the Monty Python troupe. Guys like John Cleese, Eric Idle, and Graham Chapman are some of the most brilliant and funniest men around.

Monty Python movies and shows have some great stuff, I never stopped laughing from "The Black Knight", "Mr. Crisco", "Jahova" and of course "The Parrot Sketch".

DANE cook. DANE cook!! *Headdesk* It's DANE cook. Boy I'm an idiot.


And I second the Monty Python people. It's a shame that Graham died. He was King Arthur :(

My favourites in no particular order are
Bill Bailey
Ross Noble
Dane Cook
John Cleese <- His work in Faulty Towers was amazing

I see your point, Mr. Marshmallow, and it's a good one. I'd be lying if I said that I don't laugh at some of the more questionable stuff.
I guess I frown on comedians that swear alot because I don't care for those particular one inparticular. People love him, but I can't stand him. But as you said, it's all a matter of taste and who am I to argue.:D

Weird Al?

I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROFTLOL

XD

the GREAT Eddie Murphy 8)
Jim Carey
Laurel & Hardy (some old stuff^^)
and Rowan Atkinson a.k.a. Mr. Bean
