Favorite stand-up comedian?


Justice

Recommended Posts

I believe Eddie Murphy was the greatest stand-up comedian of all time. His stuff on "Delirious" and "Raw" was some of the funniest crap I have ever heard. I would like to see if he still has it in him.

 

Who's your favorite?

 

 

 

Here's some of my favorite jokes from "Raw". Great impersonating as well.

Top 5:

 

5.)

. As much of a womanizing, misogynistic a-hole this guy was off the stage in his heyday, that dude was fuggin funny. Still is.

4.) (Tie) Tommy Davidson - Kind of a one-trick pony, but the shtick works. Again and again.

- when he's not swearing every fifth word, he's funny. The "puff, puff pass" bit will always be hilarious.

3.) Dana Carvey. Underrated as a stand-up guy.

2.)

Food. Fat. Funny.

1.)

"Get some leaves!" Classic. Clean. Traditional. There's no debate.

 

Good honorable mention:

Chris Rock, Rodney Dangerfield,

, George Burns,

 

 

Bottom 5 (or dudes I just don't get):

5.) George Carlin. I happen to love golf.

4.) Sam Kinison. I'm screaming! It's funny! Get it? Nope.

3.) Robin Williams. Stand-up shouldn't feel like work.

2.) Lenny Bruce. I hate the world! Yeah, we all do.

1.) Ron White. You're not nearly as cool as you think you are.

 

Bad honorable mention:

Andy Kaufman, Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black, Demetri Martin

WOW, I had no idea Dunham has been at it that long..i wish they had the whole bit, that was some funny...and ballsy....stuff

 

Yeah, I once saw an interview with Jeff Dunham. He said that the best part of being a vantriliquist was that he could say whatever he wanted, but because he had a puppet with him, it was somehow acceptable!

I liked Eddie Murphy's act a lot better when Richard Pryor was doing it.

I actually think Chris Rock's version of that act is better than Eddie's.
