Title: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Pryor Murphy on January 17, 2005, 03:00:12 PM I don't know if people here are fans of stand-up, but I'm personally a big fan of it, because no comedy movie ain't funnier than a good stand-up flick...
Here are my favourite Stand-up comedians(i just make it top 3, but you can do longer list if you want to): 1. Richard Pryor: this guy is a legend, simply as that. He brought the genre to a new level...he is the king of comedy. 2. Eddie Murphy: Eddies style is a bit similar to Richies, but his unbeliveable acting skills makes him something else... 3. Robin Williams. Energized, hysteric and little bit crazy, well that's Robin... Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian?

Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Eazy E on January 17, 2005, 03:43:00 PM Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock are two of my favourites....
I REALLY liked Margaret Cho's first stand-up release ("I'll eat pussy, it's just not my first choice")... but I didn't laugh too much at her second one. She lost a LOT of weight, and I think her facial expressions suffered as a result, but the jokes just weren't as strong either. OH!!!!!!....... and how could I forget DICE!! "Fuckin' Midgets!" Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Pryor Murphy on January 17, 2005, 03:51:55 PM OH!!!!!!....... and how could I forget DICE!! "Fuckin' Midgets!" Yeah! The Diceman. "Well, that's what I think..." :hihi: Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: MadmanDan on January 17, 2005, 04:25:43 PM I haven't seen many of them,but when I saw Robin Williams I fell out of my seat laughing, so he gets my vote

2 - dave chappelle these are the only americans i really love (and know a lot ...) after discovering chappelle i was kinda disapointed in chris rock , i duno .... and i won't go into french names ..... Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: 2NaFish on January 17, 2005, 05:01:11 PM Bill Hicks.
Comedian, philosopher, sheep-herder, musician. God. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Captain Obvious on January 17, 2005, 08:48:23 PM Chris Rock is the funniest I heard, but I haven't heard much. I don't mind Seinfeld. I really don't see anything special about Robin Williams, I saw one of his DVD's and was yawning all the way through it.
Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Will on January 17, 2005, 09:15:58 PM American humour is pretty lame, and so are you WAT-EVER, your totally a fuck wit. If you keep that attitude with that kind of comments, even if you're trying to be funny (but you're not), you're not gonna stick around very long. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian?

If you keep that attitude with that kind of comments, even if you're trying to be funny (but you're not), you're not gonna stick around very long. Who's being funny, if you cant take other people's opinion's then thats your problem. I didnt see you in a hurry when WAT-EVER wrote shit about my mum hey Will!!

Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: D on January 17, 2005, 11:08:18 PM i think chris rock is hilarious
richard pryor eddie murphy chris rock chris tucker havent got to hear much of dave chapelle yet i dont really like robin williams to be honest Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Will on January 18, 2005, 12:51:02 AM Who's being funny, if you cant take other people's opinion's then thats your problem. I didnt see you in a hurry when WAT-EVER wrote shit about my mum hey Will!! Saying someone is a "fuck wit" isn't an opinion, it's a personal attack, buddy. And you clearly know it's not what we like around here. I didn't see him writing "shit about [your] mum" indeed, because I don't read every post on this board, I'm not a machine. If he did indeed make such comments, I would have said something all the same. If it's another of your attempts at being funny, well, try again. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on January 18, 2005, 01:04:24 AM (ok i'm sorry, the mom comment was stupid, but it was obviously stoopid ... :) )

Post by: ClintroN on January 18, 2005, 02:32:19 AM If it's another of your attempts at being funny, well, try again. once again, who's being funny William. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: kupirock on January 18, 2005, 02:59:26 AM Dave Chappelle
Eddie Murphy Amazing stuff! .. .. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: ClintroN on January 18, 2005, 06:21:52 AM Eddie Murphy - Delarious
Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Skeletor on January 18, 2005, 06:56:52 AM Chris Rock is by far my favorite, he's simply brilliant. Constant quality, I've loved everything I've seen by him. Unlike Dave Chappelle, Chris doesn't get stuck on the same subject (whites vs. blacks). Chappelle is just telling the same damn joke a million times.
The Robin Williams live on Broadway -DVD is pretty good, even though I normally hate the guy. The Seinfeld-DVD (the one where there's a funeral at the beginning) on the other hand was a huge disappointment. I love the Seinfeld-series, but his stand-up routine sucks ass - even though the small skits he has on the show are usually pretty funny. Anyway, didn't crack a smile once, and barely made it through the DVD without falling asleep. Bill Hicks was a sort of disappointment as well, though I do think he's alright. I was just expecting more because of all the hype. He spends (-or used to spend, since he's dead-) too much time making those "funny" noises on stage, well if you've seen him you know what I mean. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Cornell on January 18, 2005, 08:03:24 AM For me Chris Rock is like the new Eddie Murphy. Eddie is funny in Shrek as well if you really listen to it.
I recently discovered Ron White - he's quite funny too. : ok: Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Skeba on January 18, 2005, 10:11:08 AM David Cross... Definately David Cross.
Norm MacDonald is awesome. Ron White.. He's great! Eddie Murphy, Lewis Black, Darrell Hammond.. I love stand-up comedy.. Good.. stand-up comedy.. Edited.. Almost forgot: Pablo Francisco's bits are good. He's movietrailer bit is a classic.. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Skeletor on January 18, 2005, 10:53:13 AM Almost forgot: Pablo Francisco's bits are good. He's movietrailer bit is a classic.. That's true, but unfortunately his Bits and Pieces -DVD isn't that great.. seems all his great material can be fit to 5 minutes, and he isn't able to sustain a longer show. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Skeba on January 18, 2005, 11:01:36 AM I know.. He's not one of the best, but does have some great material...
But like you said. Bits and Pieces is does not sustain a good flow through out. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Will on January 18, 2005, 11:30:59 AM once again, who's being funny William. No one's being funny...No6rt6ni6lC. If you've got a problem with me you can send me a PM or use the Admin section but here it's pretty boring. Thanks. Btw, I would say Seinfeld. Chris Rock is pretty funny too sometimes. I've never seen Chapelle so I don't know what the buzz is about. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: AxemanOnFire on January 18, 2005, 02:51:01 PM Peter Kay by far. His crap pop joke is brilliance :hihi:

Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on January 19, 2005, 04:29:16 AM i watched some Pablo Francisco.... man he is all about making weird noises ... don't like that ....
Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: 2NaFish on January 19, 2005, 09:50:47 AM I thought I would also mention that George Carlin, Robin Williams, and Denis Leary, (All awesome comics) have used Bill Hicks skits in their own routines. Dennis Leary has also stolen quite a bit of hicks' routine. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Drew on January 19, 2005, 10:18:49 AM Jeff Dunham - Ventriloquist/Comedian
Lewis Black Robin Williams Chris Rock Dave Chappelle Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Throatrake on January 19, 2005, 10:24:31 AM I give Dennis sort of a "free pass" on this one. (not that he deserves one)
But I think Dennis is very funny. Also, he is a hockey nut from Boston, so... Anyway... There is no denying that Leary has based his stand-up carreer on Bill Hicks. The way Leary talks about smoking (Jim Fixx), creating a whole persona built around ciggaretts, the way he would scream at the crowd, the way he would get very loud when he was trying to get a point across. It's all good though. Anyone that has really LISTENED to Bill Hicks, knows what it's all about, and there really is no close 2nd. Hicks is kinda like Buckethead in a way. They are both really well kept secrets. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: BangoSkank on January 19, 2005, 09:19:18 PM hands down its lewis black and ron white... my dad doesnt laugh at much but lew's "rules of enragement" and ron's "drunk in public" got him rolling
Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Neon Mobil Horse on January 19, 2005, 09:56:58 PM Denis Leary is my choice.

hands down Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: November Rain 91 on January 22, 2005, 09:17:50 AM Bill Cosby "Himself" hilarious tape, haven't seen it in years though, robin williams is probably my favorite, Live on Broadyway was awesome. I can't stand Chris Rock most of the time. He can be funny, I just got sick of all the black and white jokes. 1 more, that British cross-dresser, can't remember his name. He wasn't bad either.
Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Pryor Murphy on January 22, 2005, 09:38:04 AM that British cross-dresser, can't remember his name. He wasn't bad either. you mean Eddie Izzard. I haven't seen his acts, some say he is funny too...Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: November Rain 91 on January 23, 2005, 10:32:35 AM that British cross-dresser, can't remember his name. He wasn't bad either. you mean Eddie Izzard. I haven't seen his acts, some say he is funny too...yeah, that's him. Only problem was, if you don't know french, you were kinda lost on the last 10 minutes of his act lol, knew it'd come in handy one day Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: The Convict on January 24, 2005, 08:32:49 AM Eddie Izzard is far and away my favourite stand up comedian. There's also a Canadian guy called Mike Wilmot who I've watched on TV about 100 times, then was lucky enough to see him on the Comedy Stage at Leeds Festival last year, great show : ok:
Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: fesxine on February 03, 2005, 10:24:32 AM Jack Dee - really dry sense of humour / sarcasm

Post by: Pryor Murphy on February 05, 2005, 09:22:55 AM dennis leary, - no new stand up in a while- no cure for cancer is a classic No cure for cancer just makes me angry. Leary is too hyped up. Hicks can do that kind of jokes with style. Okay he went crazy some times. but that wasn't his entire act. Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian? Post by: Malcolm on February 07, 2005, 06:48:43 PM Bill Cosby and Chris Rock obviously are great..But the 4 best by far are:
Jeff Foxworthy: Does the redneck jokes Bill Engvall: Does the heres your sign jokes Larry the Cable Guy: Hilarious Ron White: Usually drunk and hilarious These 4 guys are from the Blue Collar DVD's and Tv show..The 4 funniest people ever together Title: Re: Who's the funniest stand-up comedian?
