Your Favorite Stand-Up Comedians

[TheLion]

George Carlin, Eddie Izzard, Dane Cook, Jim Breuer (I guess that's spelt right) are wonderful!

TheLion Reviewed by TheLion on 04-26-2005. Your Favorite Stand-Up Comedians I love stand-up comedy when I'm high. There's nothing like chilling with a bowl and some snacks and listening to jokes. So who do you think is funniest? My top five would be: Bill Hicks Lewis Black Dave Chappelle George Carlin Dana Carvey Rating: 5

Man Dave Chappelle is now popular as fuck!

Yup, I missed that one, RIP.

I agree that the black comedians are the funniest, mostly because they aren't afraid to talk about race. And they don't sugar-coat shit.

It's not that the black comedians aren't afraid to talk about race, it's that white comedians CANNOT talk about race. Hispanic comedians do the same thing. A white guy would be shot if he was like "black people always be doin blah blah blah blah".

BTW, Donnie Darko is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life.

Dylan Moran - good call, Lulu! I think he's coming over here soon
Jack Dee
Eddie Izzard
Bill Hicks
Andy Kaufman - like Nowhereman said, he was so odd he was funny
Robin Williams - one of the best and most natural stand up comedians ever.
Richard Pryor - same goes for him. Pure genius.

My favourite thing about Eddie Izzard is that his comedy is totally suited to stoners. I mean, I don't know if he smokes or not but I imagine he does or he has done, because his comedy is full-on stoner comedy.

As an example, halfway through his routine he got sidetracked and started making stuff up, totally random and crazy stuff, then stopped and said "people usually think im on drugs, but no, this is me normal.. when im on drugs I start saying things like 'insurance; thats a good idea.. pensions, yes...'"
