unfortunately the only good comedians are dead.
dane cook used to make me laugh, but his last special was pretty lack luster.
mitch hedberg was only funny cause he was so nervous and a druggie. which i think is hilarious. but if i told those same jokes...nah uh. not terribly funny.
Kinison is great. im just not big on gimmicks. he was an observational comedian. but the screaming...

You just got to know how to deliver it. He's all about the delivery.Major.Arse wrote: mitch hedberg was only funny cause he was so nervous and a druggie. which i think is hilarious. but if i told those same jokes...nah uh. not terribly funny.
Mike Birbiglia is a good one too, not like amazing, but hes always made me laugh.
Btw I'm assuming were just referring to standup comedians.

Btw... I forgot all about Andrew Dice Clay :O
All you idiots saying Dane Cook need to listen to a real comedian... not just Comedy Central's stooges..... Only one of them that is funny is Mike Birbiglia
i was on the train to work a few days back listening to my ipod with my audio files nice and shuffled, when i rediscovered i had downloaded an entire mitch hedberg album. much to my pleasure and surprise even after hearing it plenty of times...just not in a year almost...i was holding myself laughing on the train filled with business types.Catfish wrote:the two reasons he is hilariousJwilson6 wrote:You just got to know how to deliver it.

i completely agree his delivery is classic and harks back to old schoolers like rodney dangerfield. but what makes him funny are not his jokes...some of which are pretty good. but he's wasted and very nervous and it completely shows. he makes me feel bad for him.
...and it makes me laugh.
Is it the Cd jokes CD?Major.Arse wrote:i was on the train to work a few days back listening to my ipod with my audio files nice and shuffled, when i rediscovered i had downloaded an entire mitch hedberg album. much to my pleasure and surprise even after hearing it plenty of times...just not in a year almost...i was holding myself laughing on the train filled with business types.Catfish wrote:the two reasons he is hilariousJwilson6 wrote: You just got to know how to deliver it.

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana and I thought no, but I wanted a regular banana later so... yeah.

On a traffic light, red means stop, yellow means slow down, and green means go.
On a banana, its completely the opposite.
Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means, where the hug did you get this banana?

Re: Your favorite comedian
report:
Bey and I saw Dane Cook last night at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
I can honestly say it was the most fun I have ever had at a stand-up show(and I've seen Carlin live) The facility was amazing, The nj devils have a beautiful new home.
We sat a few rows back on the "ice", stage was in the center, much like his other stand-ups. It was a small stage which I though odd at first, seemed like a sell-out. Took us 10 mins to get there from our house but 45 mins to get back as traffic sucked donkey.
Dane's new shite is hilarious, from the get go he came out and gave high-fives to the crowd on his way to the stage, then pulled out a hand-sanitizer and said "I dont want that pig-BBQ."
He did a good hour set with a 15 minute encore.
The new stuff will be on his comedy central special coming out soon. you should check it out, his last 2 specials were pretty lame, but this act harked back to his first few specials.
Overall, I'd recommend going to see his new tour, the first guy sucked, but the second warm-up comic was pretty damn funny, bey says he was on the hbo show tourgasm but i havent the foggiest. george kelly i think his name was.
end transmission.

Re: Your favorite comedian
Ok, maybe you guys can help me out, I've been trying to search for this comedian for the last 8 years ever since I saw him on a comedy central show, i think it was comedy central presents but I'm not positive.
He spent the whole act standing still the whole time except he kept covering his face with his hand and mumbled most of his jokes, he acted like he was constantly nervous and at the end of each line he said the inflection of his voice would go up. I thought the guy was hilarious, but I have been unable to remember his name.
Well anyway, my list:
Bill Hicks
Lisa Lampenelli
Bill Burr

Too many to name, but the most recent comedian who has knocked my socks off is Daniel Tosh. That hugger spits fire!
Re: Your favorite comedian
That sounds an awful lot like like a comedian I've listened to at my friends house a lot. I can't remember the name but he was pretty funny, I think he was the one that did the joke something likeMastrIan wrote:Ok, maybe you guys can help me out, I've been trying to search for this comedian for the last 8 years ever since I saw him on a comedy central show, i think it was comedy central presents but I'm not positive.
