i tend to like black comics.. chris rock, katt williams....i like radical edgy humor....dice bores me...

Indeed. I still miss the comedic line of Red Foxx, Richard Pryor and 80s Eddie Murphy, Chris rock and Dave Chapelle.

You are not having sex with me Toxi and i'd rather kick silverman out of a moving vehicle than bang her (although she looks nice in that picture there).

1. Larry the Cable Guy -- has been funny. Not always funny, though.
2. Carlos Mencia -- huh?
3. Howie Mandel -- used to be funny.
4. Dane Cook -- Nitwit. Unfunny. Boring.
5. Gallagher -- smashing fruits with mallets is funny once.
6. Andrew Dice Clay -- generally unfunny, but had me in stitches the 1st time I heard his insane cuss-filled rants.
7. Emo Phillips -- crashingly unfunny and boring.
8. Jay Leno -- occasionally funny.
9. Jeff Dunham -- pretty funny routine. I KEEL you!
10. Paulie Shore -- has yet to be funny ever.
11. Carrot Top -- not even remotely amusing.
12. Yakov Smirnoff -- topically funny (small sized) but only when the Soviet Union still existed.


Dennis Miller is funny and smart.

Sarah Silverman made me laugh a couple of times, but is usually just kinda icky (nice enough lookin' body though).

Richard Pryor in his prime was a scream.

George Carlin is still the best there ever was.

 

[Xenophon]

List isn't bad.

Dice was never funny, nor was Howie Mandell or Carrot top.

George Carlin is still the best there ever was.

He was funny once upon a time.

Then he turned into some asshole nihilistic unfunny old piece of shit.

God rest his soul.

I think Dane Cook's Vicious Circle was absolutely hysterical.

He had one stand up routine a few years back that I was very disappointed with. Seemed a LOT more bitter and assholey than funny. But then a couple years later (right before he died), his act was just as good as ever.

Maybe. I didn't keep up with him, except occasionally hearing him in his final years on the Imus radio program. The last time I paid any actual attention to him, he was yukking it up about the tendency of matter to move toward disorganization,chaos and death.

I guess entropy humor just never really ticked the old funny bones.

 

[Xenophon]

Best stand up guy is long gone, but never forgotten.

 

[Harry Dresden]

no amount of bullying will make me laugh at dennis miller....course i never got andy kauffman either...

i agree about kaufman. His act would not have worked in a post-90s America. And, he just sucked anyway. the funniest thing he ever did was get bitchslapped by a pro wrestler.


but, Dennis is fucking hilarious. It's just a fact like gravity.

he was pretty good on Taxi....

 

[xotoxi]

Anyone from Maine?

How about Bob Marley?

 

[bodecea]

Larry the Cable Guy is just a foul mouthed pig.

9. Jeff Dunham
10. Paulie Shore
11. Carrot Top

Pretty good list. I can see why they all made the list, even though I do find a couple of them funny.

I agree with the majority of that list. Jeff Dunham is funny sometimes but other than that, dead on list. I'm not sure why Dane Cook isn't #1 though.

As for Carlin, best there is, best there was, best there ever will be. Even in the end, his act always had me in stitches.

As for Sarah Silverman, her writing wasn't the best I heard on SNL. (Though if you seen the product that SNL has put out recently, I would say she could probably do better.) Her standup "Jesus is Magic" was pretty funny, but I haven't seen too much else. Though her video with Matt Damon was pretty hilarious too.
