Favorite Comedians
 

Since tastes in comedy are as different as people's tastes in cigars, I thought it might be interesting to start a thread to post who some of your favorite comics are with video links if possible.

I'll start with one of mine. Jeff Dunham and one of his many characters, Walter.

I would have to say for me it's a three way split. I love Bill Cosby, Sinbad, and old Chris Rock. I can't do links right now cause my internet is so lousy, it would take me a year to find a good vid.

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

Cool! I like those 3 as well. Vids are of course optional. Thanks. :ss

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

I have seen a few and Dunham is great!
But I prefer old school..
Tommy Chong 3 times, and going to see Cheech and Chong on January 8th at the Ryman
But one guy that cracked me up is Jim Gaff.

My all-time favorite comedian woud be Rodney Dangerfield. His appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and Johnny Carson always cracked me up. :D :r:r:r

3. Russell Peters

:tu Very hilarious comedians that are modern and up to date with today's issues.

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

Patton Oswalt
Jim Gaffigan

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

Carlin and Dennis Miller cuz they made you think while they messed with your head. Dennis is one of the few people that can use an eight syllable word in the same sentence as three explicitaves and have it make perfect sense.

Going to see Gabriel Inglesias in February. :) Love that fluffy guy!

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

The Amazing Jonathan cracks me up :D

Go to youtube and look up the songs of Rodney Carrington. Can't believe that he's in a new release movie, but he's one funny guy.

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

Almost forgot the boys from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, particularly Ron White (smokes a cigar usually with a scotch or whiskey)

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

Lewis Black when I want angry political humor.
Jeff Dunham for silly puppet humor. (Silence!!! I kill you!)
George Carlin was the first "real" comedian I heard on tv. It was an HBO special and at the end he added to his 7 dirty words list. I taped it and referred to it often during my middle and high school days.

Bill Cosby's HBO special makes me laugh out loud everytime I see it.
I use this on my kids all the time, "I brought you into this world. I can take you out, make another one look just like you."

Love watching Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip.

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

My favorite Comedian is Jeff Foxworthy. I love watching him and laughing at his stuff.

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

Ah.. I had to chuckle this morning, listening to one of my favourite "fluffy" comedians: Gabriel Iglesias.

This one is his DUI/Presidential Elections Piece.

You can find the first of a 6 part Youtube of his special here.

Re: Favorite Comedians
 

Red Skelton was the first comedian I saw/heard on tv. Bill Cosby's early stuff & most anything from George Carlin. :r
