i love your list, i just dont see dave chappelle to be as traditional Stand up comedian as others... He was more of an actor than a stand up comedian... so he was off my list... Gregg Giraldo i forgot about... He probably should be on my list...

Chapelle was the hottest standup out there for a stretch of a few years?

Favorites of all time:

1. Richard Prior
2. Dave Chappelle
3. Daniel Tosh
4. Greg Giraldo
5. Louis C.K.

Don't tell me you don't like my list cuz it's personal and I don't give a fuck what you think.

Well it's a pretty damn fine list. All of those guys would be in my top 10 (except maybe Tosh who I like, but am not familiar with his standup)...





oh & fuck you too. :yahoo:

I would remove Steve Martin from that list. :2cents:


I just put the first guys that came to mind, I said I obviously forgot some, Steve Martin was pretty good back in the 70's and early 80's. I didn't want the list to be 30 comedians, not even sure I could have done that. Kinda why I listed other...

YouTube Sam Kinison World Hunger. To this day, his answer is the best solution to the problem. Every time I see one of those starving commercials, I think of it .

His show was amazing(probably best comedy central show of all time), his movies were great... But never was into his Stand up... Just never pictured him as a standup comedian first...

Never heard Woody allan's standup... But certainly agree about Robin Williams... Not a fan of his standup at all... In fact whenever it is on i turn it off... Steve martin was ok, nothing special...

:agree:

Rodney Dangerfield was a true original.

Another one we should probably mention is Redd Foxx; quite possibly the foulest comedian of all time.

Oh... well i think that is the problem here, there are different comedies... Standup, Improv, and tv/movie comedy...

Most Comedy actors were good standup or improv, but when they became famous actors stopped... Richard Pryor is an exception...

But this thread i thought was all about standup...

Dana Carvey was pretty funny for a while, don't think he's top 10 but some of his stuff was funny...

Has anyone ever heard the shark attack time bit from Ian edwards??? That is my favorite bit... Unfortunately that is the only thing i like from that guy...

Same thing with the Black people movie theatre with CUBA diving bit from Ralphie may... Not a May fan at all, but love that one bit...

Nobody mentioned Bob Hope...

It's eye-opening to watch acts from that era. Man, sure shows how innocent (better) things were back then.

Not quite as well known and not on the list, but funniest for me was always Richard Jenny.
