Favorite Stand-Up Comedians?

Bomby · 05-23-2011, 11:26 PM

This was probably asked a long time ago in a topic far, far away, but since I don't feel like performing thread necromancy, here is a new one.

My all time favorites are Louis CK, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock. Lately I've been getting into Aziz Ansari. Patton Oswalt is pretty good, too.

***Booyakasha*** · 05-23-2011, 11:39 PM

My favourite right now is Sean Cullen. I also really like Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, and Steve Martin.

Louis CK and Patton Oswald are great

E: oh also Brian Regan

Good one, id say Jeff Foxworthy and Ron white, along with some Swedish guy named Magnus Bertnér, that is one hilarious guy that bitches on everything but you can't get mad at him cause he have a point in everything he sais.

**Valigarmander** · 05-24-2011, 07:16 AM

George Carlin, and... uh...

Dizzy · 05-24-2011, 07:51 AM

Demetri Martin is hilarious, along with someone else who's name I'm forgetting.

Other good ones mentioned were Patton Oswalt, Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, and Aziz Ansari. Ron White and Jeff Dunham both have their moments, but I wouldn't call them my favorites.

***Cosmonautical*** · 05-24-2011, 08:36 AM

Anyone who makes me laugh consistently. :3

1-up Salesman · 05-24-2011, 10:34 AM

Me.

Am I right, guys, am I right?

***Booyakasha*** · 05-24-2011, 10:40 AM

^That depends on whether you're your own favourite stand-up comedian or not.

Can't believe I forgot that guy. His delivery is everything.

***Ace Mercury*** · 05-24-2011, 10:53 AM

Demetri Martin is a pretty cool guy.

Mitch Hedberg is awesome. I just recently found out he had a third comedy album out (released posthumously) "Do You Believe in Gosh?" His other two comedy CDs have both flavours of Mitch: smooth stoned and angry stoned.

Panfan · 05-24-2011, 12:48 PM

Mitch Hedberg is all time favorite. Patton Oswalt, Jim Gaffigan, Aziz Ansari, Demetri Martin, Zach Galifianakis are all favorites too.

And shout out to Donald Glover, my favorite up-and-coming stand-up comedian/rapper/writer/actor/member of Derrick Comedy

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-24-2011, 12:56 PM

Robin Williams
Mitch Hedberg
Eddie Izzard
Chris Rock
I'll think of more later.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

ZeldaGirl · 05-24-2011, 03:30 PM

Demetri Martin and Brian Regan are amazing. Does Flight of the Conchords count? Live, they do a lot of improvisational stuff, so it feels stand-uppy...

***Booyakasha*** · 05-24-2011, 04:03 PM

Ooh, I forgot about Eddie Izzard. Man's a genius.

heh · 05-24-2011, 07:20 PM

oh **** Demetri martin and Jim gaffaghan are great

Ron White is also pretty good

alot of others people mentioned i recognize but can't really remember...

Mitch Hedberg is my favorite, hands down, no contest.

I love Demetri. For you Demetri Martin fans, you should buy his new book, "This is a Book." It's like a longer version of his stand up.

I'm a fan of Howie Mandel's old stuff where it looks like he's just on coke or something. His Bobby character is great.

Mike Birbiglia has great delivery and Ricky Gervais is drier than Britain's sense of humour...wait.

***Marilink*** · 05-24-2011, 09:17 PM

I love, like all of you, Mitch Hedberg and Demitri Martin. I also love Jim Gaffigan. I love any comedian that can make me laugh a lot, which is a lot of comedians. Oh, Daniel Tosh is another one I really enjoy just because he's really good at offending everybody equally and it's hilarious.

ZeldaGirl · 05-24-2011, 10:43 PM

Gaffigan's "Hoooot Pockets" is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

SephirothKirby · 05-24-2011, 10:54 PM

Mitch Hedberg is my absolute favorite.

Brian Regan and Demetri Martin are also delicious.
