Mine are Bill Cosby, who WAS very funny once upon a time, Chris Rock, who I think is the funniest black comedian today, Jack Black, a very funny white guy, Lewis Black, another very funny white guy, and Governor Northam, in BLACKFACE. These are my five favorites, who are yours? I almost forgot Dave Chapelle, he would be my #6.

Redd Foxx... He was funny as hell...

He sure WAS. I've heard that his standup material was QUITE profane. I've never actually heard any of it, I keep planning on doing this, but keep forgetting to do so. I enjoyed his antics on Sanford and Son.

You have to listen to his stand up material to really get how great he was. The man could make a racist jaw drop with some if his comments...

Him and Cosby were masters of their profession along with Flip Wilson...

I used to like Foxx some till someone gave me an 8 track of him. He was a horse racing announcer in one part. The horses had names like My Dick and I thought I was gonna puke from laughing so much.

Cosby... back in the day my cousin and I would steal a home canned jar of my aunts dill or sweet pickles and go upstairs and listen to his albums over and over. Good times!

Cosby WAS great once upon a time. My sister, brother and I WORE OUT our parents' copies of his Wonderfulness and Why Is There Air? albums. Very funny stuff!

It sucks yak ass when childhood favorites, whether it be a food, an activity, friend or relative and comics get frigged up one way or another.

I still love the times my cousin and I had listening to Cosby and other albums up in her hot old room for so much time. Should I now feel guilty about it considering what came later? Phrt. Life's too short. His stories about his and russell's bedtime were a LOT like my brother and I. I think I pummeled the crap out of him about 10 times a week.

I'm not much into comedians these days. Historically, I'd answer Dick Gregory.
