The late Mitch Hedberg could make me laugh pretty hard.


I got to see him live at the Fox like two months before he died. Great time. Great man.

Didn't know that Mitch Hedberg had died.
Caught his act at the 40 Watt in Athens.
Great talent.

Daniel Tosh is hilarious.

George Carlin had some greatness. (rip)

But I still vote for Rowan Atkinson, just too funny.

Peter Sellers was great in the Pink Panther movies, also. When he pulls the wrong tooth ( i forget which movie exactly ) I nearly died.

Frankie Boyle - an absolute legend and by far the best thing on the BBC.

No one in particular but Youtube some of the "Dean Martin Roast" clips. Some truly funny stuff. Old school comedy: Soupy Sales, Foster Brooks, Dean Martin, Don Rickles....

Depends on my mood.

I routinely compare others to Carlin though so I guess he would be the bar.

Hedberg's great too. Can't beat that delivery.

George Carlin was great. I love Bill Murray but I've only seen him in films. My favorite stand-up comedian is still Margaret Cho who is not a man but very funny. I've seen a lot of great up and comers on ROFL on Revision3.com.
My husband reminded me just now that Adam Corolla is a hilarious and brilliant story teller. He has a very old-fashioned talent and is a classical performer, I'd say.

Yep, Bush could have 'accidentally' launched nukes at half the word and everyone would just smile and think "that Bush idiot did it again...hahaha"

I think that Charlie Chaplin was the most brilliant comedic actor but not the funniest.

Here's Comedy Central's list of top 100 stand-up comedians of all time -- and Gallagher tops the list! (which begins at #100...)

Without looking, guess who their panel of comedians and comedy writers plcked as the #1 stand-up comic of all time...
