George Carlin
An old school choice, before my time but I love the videos of him - Jonathon Winters. Way, way ahead of his time.
It's interesting what sort of rotation you get if you put certain comics into Pandora. My favorites all come up on the channel.
Louis CK (if you've been married for more than 5 years and have kids, you'll get it)
Jim Gaffigan
Brian Regan
Daniel Tosh
Chappelle
On the other end of the spectrum, I'm growing so tired of the Blue Collar comedy guys.

Opie and Anthony fan?
Carlin for past comedians.
Pretty much the same list as ucfgavin for current comedians.

Jim Jeffries. He drinks at least a six pack during his stand up.
Just watched Louis CK's Hilarious two nights ago. He's the only stand up comedian I've been able to watch since Eddie Murphy.

If you haven't seen it, his show on FX is pretty genius.
We watch every episode, its awesome. It's much better than that first show he had years ago.

Louis CK for sure. I like how he can be real/authentic, yet hilarious. I've also heard he keeps his routines fresh and has a new one every year unlike most.

It was no surprise to me to hear that Carlin was a role model and staying fresh was an important career goal.

chappelle. Saw him live when I was a freshman at IU and I swear i've never laughed so hard in my whole life

Agreed. Got to see him in NYC just 2-3 weeks before he died. Mitch was awesome.
I also like Brian Regen.

I see Rodney Dangerfield is STILL getting NO RESPECT!
I tell ya I'm alright now, but last week I was in rough shape! I went to see my doctor, Dr. Vinny Boombotz. He said, "You're sick!"
I asked for a second opinion, he said, "Ok, you're UGLY TOO!"

Oh yeah! My friend had a cassette and we listened to that all the time! He was one of the unsung comedy writing heros of his time.
He killed with Mel Brooks in "Blazing Saddles"!

Interesting, not a single mention of Bill Cosby.
Seeing him live doing standup is nothing like watching him on TV.
I hurt I laughed so hard, and I almost literally fell out of my chair.
And +1 to Hedburg.

I liked the young Robin Williams, especially the coke years, lol.

Pryor. Oh, dear God, Pryor. And I used to love Eddie Murphy back in his Delirious/Raw days, and Dennis Leary before he started hocking Fords. These days I like Louis CK, Jim Jeffries, Lewis Black (got tickets for his In God we Rust show next month!), Dave Chapelle, and Whitney Cummings. From across the pond, Billy Connolly is fantastic, Eddie Izzard, and Tommy Tiernan are outstanding as well.
I'd pay cash money to hold Dane Cook's head under the water until the bubbles stop. I've NEVER seen such an overrated human being in my life. How anyone even considers him remotely humorous is beyond me, let alone how he's still able to sell out venues...
Also don't get the Jeff Dunham thing.

Louis CK's Chewed Up helped restore my faith in stand-up a few years ago (after Comedy Central had ruined it with so much mediocrity over the years.)
But I still remember watching Buddy Hackett's HBO special as a kid and thinking it was the funniest thing ever. Old school stand-up, pre-Seinfeld, where every joke had a big, offensive punch line ("finally she says to me, you **** like a Jap").

Dane Cook strikes me as the sort of guy who was popular in high school, which pretty much eliminates any chance of him being a good stand-up.
