Comedians: Old, New & Shit

[rob_simple]

The premise is simple: name your favourite three comedians living, no longer with us and whom you love to hate. They don't necessarily have to do stand-up but should generally be involved in comedy as their main career.

Love
Ricky Gervais
Seanbaby
Sean Lock

Miss
Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Richard Pryor

Loathe
Andy Parsons
Dane Cook
Adam Sandler

He was my favorite of the Blue Collar Comedy Group, before they split up of course.

[The_Blue_Rider]

I like Chris Rock, Russel Peters, and Daniel Tosh

I miss Dimitri Martin being funny

I fucking hate Dane Cook

 

[Goofguy]

Can't really say I love or loathe any comedians. It's more of a "I'll watch this guy when he's on TV" or "I'll change the channel if I see this guy". I do, however, miss George Carlin and Greg Giraldo.

 

[Launcelot111]

Love Louis CK

Miss Mitch Hedberg

Loathe people who quote Dane Cook

 

[rob_simple]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Dane Cook is a talentless berk.

Russel Howard..Can somebody please tell me why find this fuck jar funny?

I think some of his jokes are quite funny but his delivery and the stupid faces and noises he makes are fucking annoying.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Favourite
Ricky Gervais
Charlie Brooker (just watch his Newswipe, it's hilarious; I love his cynical delivery)
David Mitchell

Dislike
Sarah Millican (the only people I can think of who'd find her funny are stereotypically girly girls/mothers who like to eat chocolate when they're sad)
Russell Brand (why the fuck are you so popular, you egotistical, sinfully unfunny douchebag who looks like he's rolling in STDs)
That really boring one-note guy whose name I can't remember, but he's occasionally on Mock the Week

I don?t have much experience with any old comedians.

Russel Howard..Can somebody please tell me why find this fuck jar funny?

Mainly due to Russell Howard's Good News, since all he really needs to rely on are the crazy news stories he finds each week. Other than that, yeah, he's a bit of a novelty, but the only reason I find him amusing is because he kind of caters to my me and my friends' "stupid teenage" brand of humour, some of his jokes are pretty funny, and he reminds me of my funny friend. I don't know how you can loathe him, though. Aside from his subjective comedy, he seems like a nice guy.

George Carlin

You better have included Mr. Conductor. I would have had to murder you otherwise.

 

[Eddie the head]

I like Jon Stewart and Demetri Martin as well as I guess Stephen Colbert he can be funny. I don't like like Dane Cook I just don't find him funny. And that's all I can think of.

That one Asian chick whose name escapes me
Everyone else who's boring

Jim Jeffries should seriously be more well known. He's funny as shit.

 

[Patrick Buck]

Love Adam hill, Frankie Boyle, Dara O'brian, sean Loch, Jon Richardson, Reginald D Hunter...

HATE Russell Brand, Ricky Gervais, Russell Howard...

Can't think of any dead 'un's. Ronnie Corbet?

 

[Suicidejim]

Russel Howard..Can somebody please tell me why find this fuck jar funny?

Mainly due to Russell Howard's Good News, since all he really needs to rely on are the crazy news stories he finds each week.

Exactly. I don't find him too funny on his own, but he's immortalized to me as the guy who mocked the crap out of my friend's ex after she got trapped in a clothes horse

 

[shrekfan246]

Love:
Robin Williams
Lewis Black
Brian Regan

Oh, also the cast of "Whose Line is it Anyway?"

Miss:

Loathe:
Well, I wouldn't exactly say I loathe or hate any of the comedians I've seen, but the ones I've been indifferent to or disliked:
Russell Brand
Andrew Dice Clay
Katt Williams

 

[FalloutJack]

I think people are perhaps a little too critical on some of the comics they said they hate here. But instead of going on and on about that, here's Eddie talking about Daleks.

 

[shogunblade]

Comedians I like:
Donald Glover (Derrick Comedy shows you how to appreciate him)
Steven Wright
Patton Oswalt

Miss:
Bernie Mac
George Carlin (Finding all his stuff on Netflix, it's a blast)
Sam Kinison
(Honorable Mentions for Comedic Actors: Chris Farley and Phil Hartman)

Shite:
Aziz Ansari (News Flash: reciting everything people do really loudly and expounding on stories of Famous People does not equal comedy, it shows you paid a lot of attention)
Nick Swardson (I find myself paying more attention to how many times he says "like" (hint: a lot!) then his "comedy", which doesn't amount to remembering his "Who farted?" sketch that people can repeat with familiarity)
I can't think of another comedian I don't like, there are many, but none I can recall.
