I love him! ^-^ He's one of the few comedians who can really make me laugh. Martin is gold.

Richard Pryor and Rodney Dangerfield, both dead and 'nuff said.

You are also really bad at disagreeing.

I agree with Hicks, Pryor, Carlin and Chappelle...

And I still love the Emo Phillips', Steven Wright's and Eddie Izzard's classic stuff.

I liked Dane Cook's stuff initally, but it lacks repeated watchability of those mentioned above.

Richard Pryor is THE best

Favorites of recent years:

Demetri Martin
Flight of the Conchords
Nick Swardson
Michael Ian Black
Zach Galifianakis
Jim Gaffigan
Patton Oswald

I watch a lot of stand up comedy on TV, but the only one that really stood out and made me remember him was Brian Regan. I especially liked his bit with fig newton serving sizes being two cookies.

"I dunno, man... I already had two, maybe I can muscle... one... more... down... Ghah!"
Then he pretends to do CPR.
"He ate how many?! Can't he read?!"

Jim Gaffigan
Lewis Black is good, but repetitive
Bill Hicks, pretty obvious choice.
Kat Williams, current favorite
Dmetri Martin
Ron White

I don't get Cook or Rock...

Chris Rock is pretty funny, but I think Dane Cook is horribly overrated. He tends to confuse being annoying with being funny. Its like, a dumb joke doesnt get funnier just because you yell it really loudly.

I'm currently watching the new Gervais stand up, not his best, but still bloody funny. I think he should at least get a mention, Animals is a tour that was absolutely brilliant.

I love how in almost every routine Gervais does, he likes to have a go at obese people. I find it funny and always look forward to it in most of his routines.

Tim Allen is a good comedian actor.

Emo Phillips=amazing. I love the guy.

Chappelle and Attel are both great too.
