3. All-time: Hedberg.
4. Least fave: Anyone who uses their gender or race to EXCESS for material.
5. Least-fave All-time: Ayeunno.
6. Nevar.

 

[gjendemsjo]

1. Don't watch it all that mutch, but I'm positive about it.
2. Comedian would be Bill Murray(Monty Python if we allowed groups), stand up comedian would be Jerry Seinfeld
3. George Carlin by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!
4. Whoever wrote Hannah Montana
5. Whoever wrote Alvin and the chipmunks 1 & 2(though I think that person is alive as well)
6. Never tried, though many people think that I'm hilarious and would be quite succesful if I tried.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I love stand up comedy...
Favourite ones are probably bill bailey, dylan moran and tim minchin. Frankie Boyle and Michael McIntyre complete my top 5.
I don't really like Eddie Izzard much, but that being said I didn't give him much of a chance. I think the marathon thing he did was amazing though. Also I recently went off Lee Evans, bigtime. He just does the same silly voice and swears a lot and it got boring.

6. Eh, I did a cheap imitation of it on youtube a couple years back, and that was pretty crappy. I've improved, but I'm still only 16 and most clubs wouldn't allow me through the front door, much less onto the stage.

 

[oktalist]

Denis Leary- an untalented tosser who got famous ripping off a comedic legend.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

[SCAFC Chimp]

3. Richard Pryor was a legend.
4. Lee Nelson. I just plain don't like chavs.
5. I've not seen many bad comedians, so I'll just go with #4.

[TheDustyBanana]

1. I grew up with it so it's a vital part of my sense of humor.
2. Probably a tie between Christopher Titus and Eddie Izzard
3. George "Mister Conductor" Carlin.
4. Probably Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook or Larry the Cable Guy
5. See above
6. I've never done actual stand up comedy, like say in a night club or in front of an actual audience, so no. But when I joke around with friends my style of jokes are usually in the same vein as stand up...so kinda in a not really sorta way.

 

[Ickorus]

1. I love it, some of the guys that do it can get me near pissing myself with laughter.

2. Ed Byrne easily.

3. Gonna have to stick with Ed Byrne.

4. That wierd looking ginger twat, carrot top or whatever. (No offence ginger people, that's just his most obvious feature)

5. Same again, I really don't like the guy.

6. Not really though I do crack a lot of jokes at college.

Spoiler: Ed Byrne

 

[Griphphin]

1. What is your opinion on it in general?
Love stand up comedy!
2. Favorite comedian alive today?
Louis C.K. is my favorite, followed by Dave Atell and a few others.
3. Favorite Comedian Ever?
Louis C.K., as I'm not old enough to have really gotten into George Carlin, Richard Pryre, etc., though I find them funny as well by and large.
4. Least favorite comedian alive today?
George Lopez is pretty terrible IMO, as well as most comedians that rely on appeal to a certain ethnicity to relate to their jokes.
5. Least favorite comedian ever?
I'll have to say George Lopez again, Dane Cook isn't one of my favorites but he's got a few funny sketches and his earlier stuff (before his delivery became just talking in a very intense tone to keep the mood) was decent.
6. Have you ever tried stand up comedy? How did that go?
I couldn't do stand-up, I get stage fright like crazy, which is a real shame, as around my friends I'm the "crazy funny" guy, and I always have to answer that whenever the subject of us going into stand up comes up.

 

[RedPandaMan]

1. What is your opinion on it in general?
I love Stand-up, but the problem with it, is that it is really opinion based and varies between each person and their tastes, as seen in this thread.
2. Favorite comedian alive today?
Dave Chapell, Daniel Tosh,and Christopher Titus are my top 3, in that order.
3. Favorite Comedian Ever?
Either Mitch Hedberg or George Carlin. Classics.
4. Least favorite comedian alive today?
Either Lopez or Larry the Cable Guy.
5. Least favorite comedian ever?
See above.
6. Have you ever tried stand up comedy? How did that go?
I can't do stand-up as I can't just tell jokes. My humor is all reactionary humor.

1. Love it.
2. Dave Chappelle.
3. You can't make me choose. I love Chappelle, Pryor and Hedberg.
