Dane cook's a cornball imo...
My favorites
Eddie Murphy
George Carlin
Bill Hicks
Lewis Black
Sarah Silverman(Checked her out after AC somewhat recommended her)
David Cross
I missed a few but meh.

Dane Cook is shit. Nothing more than a "comedian" for the American Pie humour fans.

Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Doug Stanhope, Sarah Silverman, David Cross and Stewart Lee are the only ones I listen to.

Rodney Carrington Excellent list of comedians, you got there. I'd have to agree with you on that. Sam Kineson especially .

Bill Hicks is great too. I'd only add Jim Gaffagen, and Dane Cook. Those are the only two newer comics that are able to get me to laugh.

Kathy Griffin cracks me up but I know a lot of people hate her... on her reality show she is really whinny and b*tchy

Bill Hicks
Richard Pryor
George Carlin
Dylan Moran
Tommy Tiernan
Sarah Silverman.

Jasper Carrot
Lee Evans
Peter Kay
Phil Jupitus
Eddie Izzard
Bill Bailey
Jimmy Carr

Josh Blue, you know the guy from Last Comic Standing?
He's my hero!

Thanx. All of the brilliant ones have to die young, dont they? Its so disheartening. I've never heard of Jim Gaffagen, and Dane Cook, well, I've heard of him, but never actually watched any of his routine. I hear he's good, though.

Dane Cook is some shit, overrated mug for young teens or older adults who are too stupid to get more sophisticated comedy, Imped. Dick and fart jokes for the MySpace generation.

Yes, that's elitism. Yes, you can take it to the bank and cash it.

There's nothing wrong with dick & fart jokes, at least IMO, as long as they're taken in small doses. That's why I listen to Rodney Carrington. He's a "redneck comedian" like Jeff Foxworthy, but X-rated. VERY funny man.

Russell Brand is my current fave. Though he's more a raconteur than a stand up comedian.

The key there is small doses.

Dane Cook is like...if you combined every "gross out" teen movie into a comedian, you'd get him.

-AC

Just want to try something...****s.

I find Dane Cook pretty funny.

Peter Kay and Eddie Izzard

Bill Hicks had some funny dick jokes....well, one comes to mind...


I have seen one bit by Kinision, it was pretty good...maybe I should watch more of that as well...

Stewart Lee is the best non-famous comedian, and better than most comedians regardless.

Wow...that was the most open and direct one I read so far.

Never heard of Stewart Lee.
