    Bill Cosby! is by far the funniest stand up comedian ever. You ever seen his stuff from the early 80s? it's hilarious.

    Dennis Leary and Juan Villareal are good too.
    respect beer.

    John Pinette kinda gets on my nerves. He reminds me too much of Louie Anderson, and that guy sucks!

    Obby no offense but your thread about all those great comedies(Something About Mary, Billy Madison, etc) being dumb means you are either A. too smart for your own good or B. can't recognize a good comedy when you see one. Either way, I think you probably aren't the greatest judge for comedies. I thought the Bernie Mac show was pretty good. Much better than many other "comedies" named after the star of the show.

    DarkFury, I should have known you wouldn't forget Mr. Robin Harris. He is my favorite as well. I had a tape of his that had two concerts on it, one on each side. To this day I still don't think I have heard anything funnier.

    A close second is Carlos Mencia. Then:

    Chris Rock
    Dave Attell
    Dave Chappelle

    Honorable Mention: Louis CK

    Who remembers when "Comedy Central" used to be just "The Comedy Channel" and they'd play 1-3 minute "videos" of stand-ups for like, 20 hours of their 24 hour daily schedule? That channel was so much better before they actually created real shows and stuff.

    Well if you are ever lucky enough eo catch Doug Stanhope...you are a lucky person. I have aben a huge fan of Carlos Mencia, D. Chappelle, R. Pryor, E. Murphy, and R. Harris, etc. But this guy makes me laugh so hard that I almost shat myself peep this small piece of one of his routines.

    There's a rather new up-n-coming stand up artist called Ralph Harris. He is one of the funiest tory tellers I have ever seen. He has a special on Comedy Central and I have also seen him at Cobb's Comedy Club in SF. He is just amazing. Watch out for this guy!!
