The dane cook thread I made kind of inspired this. Humor is obviously a very subjective thing, I would like to see what comics are consensus amongst the sherdog fans.


Chris Rock
Richard Pryor
Eddie Murphy
Rodney Dangerfield
Joan Rivers

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Chris Rock
Dave Chappelle
Louis CK
Bill Burr
George Carlin

cmon lisa is kind of funny. aside from the black cock jokes at the roast she has some good material. She is obviously very well respected by her peers.

I agree, Lisa is amazing. The novelty of a woman just repeating all kinds of different ethnic jokes and swear words ad nauseam never gets old.

In fact I would say that her & Sarah Silverman are like the Carlin/Pryor of female standup comedy. Incredible stuff.

George Carlin
Louis CK
Doug Stanhope
Dave Attell
Bill Hicks

Bonus: Jim Norton

 

[websurfer]

Gerry Dee
Jeff Dunham

That's all I got. Would have added Colbert but I don't think he does stand up comedy.
