favorite comedian

[razerdoh]

George Carlin

 

[BENZOOKA]

John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam.

Not in order.

No objections.

No substitutes.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Bill Bailey and Ross Noble. One's intelligent and surrealistic humor, the other one is improvised randomness and mocking the audience.

I'm going to assume there was no search here.

Anyways, Lewis Black would be mine. His hand motions and his tone of speaking get me every time.

I'm inclined to agree with you there, for the simple fact that he has the most pitch-perfect 'pissed off at the stupidity of others' ranting voice I've ever heard. Him yelling about anything (especially bottled water, milk, protection against nuclear weapons, and politics) always puts me in stitches.

YEAH! That was from his Back in Black Premiere on HBO right? I loved that soo much.

If I remember correctly, yeah. That was one of his best.

"Milk doesn't need a friend!"
"I'm hiding under kindling!!"

 

[Lord_Panzer]

Oh bugger, double post.

DOWN WITH THE ROMANS!

 

[Lord_Panzer]

''Every 2 weeks when I was 9, my elementary school would have an air raid drill, I guess to remind me, I CAN DIE AT ANY MINUTE!''
''Wow, if this was a real attack, when the all clear sounded, I could get up and go to the playground, AND MELT!!''

That last one makes me laugh every single time. His delivery is absolutely perfect.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Dave Chappelle, especially because of his sketches :]

 

[Fightgarr]

Demetri Martin is my favorite comedian. He's one who's style and delivery are something I strive for in my own stand-up. I find his observations clever and interesting regardless of the joke. His show has proven to me that he can consistently create new material. But most of all, he's just an incredibly endearing human being. If you haven't watched If I..., a retrospective he did on his own life, and you like Demetri even a bit I highly recommend it (it's about an hour and the whole thing is on youtube). It raised my respect for him tenfold. One of the very few famous people who I genuinely would like to meet one day.

lol yea he's always right but in the worst possible way. Bill hicks reincarnation or something. Only more dirty and i think a bit better.

Edit: oh and i love his version of "The aristocrats" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKGuh44_LBc

I see him as more a George Carlin reincarnation

haha awesome god help us all

 

[DEATHROAD]

Russel howard.

The dude is so funny, he dosent even have to say anything,hes just naturally funny.

 

[primitivescrewhead]

Either Bill Bailey or Ross Noble

 

[goingfishing11]

Has to be Billy Connolly

The Big Yin is a comedic genius.

Billy is closely followed by Dylan Moran and Eddie Izzard...

Second.

 

[Mitzi952]

Eddie Izzard. It's amazing how quickly I got used to watching a man wearing women's clothing.

I totally agree, now it's great when he completely confuses people by wearing suits on interview shows and just puts it aside with "I'm in Boy-Mode now"

Ed Byrne, Russel Howard, David Mitchell and Robert Webb are also funny.

So many to choose from. . .

 

[Woggles]

David Cross hands down.

 

[PrimoThePro]

John Candy. Rest in peace you fat, beautiful man.

 

[BigKaine]

Louis C.K.

 

[imnot]

David Mitchell is awsome along with russel Howard
