mitch hedburg was hilarious the first time i saw him. When he was called Stephen Wright.

Eddie Murphy.

The Secret Agent one is really funny:

"I was born and trained in a spinning, underwater room..."

My other favourites are Bill Hicks, Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.

i like how when he types it sounds like how he talks.

Does love really have anything to do with sex? I love my family and my friends, but I usually don’t have sex with them. So why do some girls want me to say “I love you” before they will have sex with me? Wouldn’t “I want to have sex with you” be more appropriate? —Scott

Dear Scott,
Girls want you to say that because you’re in high school. Grownup girls just want you to call them dirty names, compliment them on their knowledge of current affairs, and act enthusiastic about their new hats. No one makes you pretend to love them anymore once you grow up; that only happens in the recent remake of Knight Rider.

Bill Hicks!!!

David Cross

Mitch Hedberg

Lewis Black

Norm MacDonald

THe PUNk one is pretty funny too

Denis fucking Leary, now and forever

hes such an asssssholiooilo

the beginning of an epic saga there sooooo good.

EUGENE I LOVE YOU

There is a reason why when comedians are asked who they think the best comic of all time is they reply with Carlin or Pryor.

Nathaniel Parker has chunks of guys like you in his stool.

my answer: mitch then louie ck

it's not that sketches by carlin or pryor or leary arent great. it's just that i cant watch them anymore. and who was that one fag..? oh, yeah; dennis miller. he's brilliant and spot on.. and boring to me after watching him only a forth time or whatever. the teenage angst of a 50 year old political commenter is not my idea of bringing the funny because youre loud with voice inflection and i was never a fan of the screaming, and i hate being yelled at while being talked down to (sorry, carlin, rip). i rather warm humor over the slapstick. i like jokes that make me think, that make me come to the conclusion on my own. louis ck is the only current exception. (dont know how long that will last, though..) that doesnt mean i didnt spend heavy time with miller and leary and gallagher and pryor and carlin and carrot top (aptly named because you wanna bury him to his forehead head in dirt haha) but rather that i got sick of it. i'll likely get sick of louis someday. mitch, i'll only tire of not getting new jokes.

best comedy duo of all time?

cheech and chong?
laurel and hardy?

no, no, no.

gene wilder and richard pryor.

The Three Stooges acting like japs.

I love Mr.Bean although this comedy is so old.
