Jimeon is a crack-up. Sexy to boot.

Billy Connelly is unfailingly hilarious.

Monty Python is classic....esp 'Life of Brian'.

The guys out of Black Books as someone else mentioned, that show is brilliant.

I don't really get American comedians though, granted I have never heard of some of those mentioned here, will have to check them out.

I just don't find American humour particularly funny, the Brits though are another story. Perhaps it's the accents?

It will probably always be Bill Hicks for me, he is just the man. Too much soul in his work!

Before Hugh Laurie became House, he used to be part of a comedy duo called "Fry and Laurie". Quite funny, stumbled upon the link yesterday.
Very clever.

Used to like a bit of Jasper Carrot too lol. As well as being funny, he was also just such a nice seeming, down to earth guy and was also kind of funny to look at too!

This guy on the video half way down on the right side of the web page called "thumbs up..."

Just to make it clear, I do respect Frank. I just think he has a great way of conveying information.

Also, Bob Saget is pretty awesome.

Peter Sellers in "The Party"

First time I saw this movie I laughed so hard I vomited.

Birdy Num Num. I heard this means something really disgusting in Hindi

Very cerebral. Richard Lewis on a rant is fantastic. Saw him in Vegas and about peed. Carlin is a legend.

The HBO show Curb Your Enthusiam with Larry David kills me.

For a movie, some of the scenes in Trains, Planes and Automobiles were priceless. The scene were John Candy & Steve Martin are sitting on that truck laughing and the car catches fire behind them is just about an all-timer.

Also, Annie Hall was just awesome in 1977...only comedy to win Oscar 4 best movie I believe...

Comedy begins and ends with Richard Pryor.

Hicks is great. For stand-up Chappelle is great. I also love Ron White. For TV hands down Ricky Gervais! For new stuff Joe Rogan and Jo Koy cannot be missed!
