Comedy, what do u like?

[koZmiQ]

Just finished watching some old Eddie Murphy standup, funny stuff. It led me to wonder what comedy stars you are all into, standup, movie or tv.

I am also really into Billy Connolly and Robin Williams.

 

[nylo]

I like George Carlin, Robin Williams, Lewis Black. The Blue Collar guys are good too: Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White

:nanner:

 

[foxycougar]

Lewis Black and Mitch Hedberg are my two faves. Have seen them both live.

 

[carlito montoya]

I have never understood Robin Williams' appeal. I find him to be just about the most annoying performer in the history of American popular entertainment. He is as funny as a migraine and as an actor he is so cloying diabetics drop dead at the sight of him.


Now, Galllagher...that's comedy.

 

[Boo Radley]

You listed some great "old school" talent QBall! I love Redd Foxx & Richard Pryor.

A few more that rule...IMHO
Lenny Bruce
Rodney Dangerfield
Robert Schimmel
Norm MacDonald
David Letterman

The old Eddie Murphy stuff is great. One of the things I find funniest about "Delerious" was when he cracks on Bill Cosby because Cosby called him up and told him his stuff wasn't fit for children and Eddie just rips into him.

fast foward 20 years

and now Eddie is doing movies like "The Haunted Mansion" and "Daddy Day Care" to be safe and wont release the rights to "Delerious" because he doesn't want to expose his children to his old stuff.

Best Ive seen off of Comedy Central
Dave Attel
Dane Cook
Jim gaffigan
Jim Bruer
Dennis Leary
Dennis Miller

IMO- all the femal comics are horribly bad, but most id rather not see in porn. since most are heavyweight sloggers.

 

[Jizm]

What about Janeen Garafolo or however u spell her name....

 

[Jizm]

I think a lot of great comedy (stand up or whatever) doesn't go mainstream for us to hear it. Iv'e heard great stuff here and there but from no namers. Don't forget about Bill Cosby - shear genious. Also I'm currently impressed with Bernie Mack. I agree with my buddy Q ball. There's just too many to list. I really admire them all. Past and present.
