Not sure if there was a thread for this already.

My 2 current favorites are Patton Oswalt and David Cross.

I saw Patton over the weekend at Festival Supreme in Los Angeles ( featured Flight of the Conchords, Weird Al, Patton, Sarah Silverman, Will Forte, Fred Armissen, Bill Hader,etc.) It was the first time I had seen him since his wife tragically passed away earlier this year.

    Dennis Leary back in the day stole a good chunk of his material, word-for-word, from Bill Hicks.

    Patton's the shit. Louis as well. And Norm!

    So are Jim Norton and Dennis Miller and among those no longer spitting out the great shit - King Carlin (yo, Empty), Shandling, Hedberg, Hicks.

    Many more.

    Awesome perspectives from sick, degenerate minds.

    By far the one and ONLY RICHARD PRYOR every bone in his meager body was funny. His WANTED album is a classic.

    George Carlin, Denis Leary, The Smothers Brothers. Long live the Yo-Yo Man!

    The one I would have mentioned without hesitation in the past I suspect is now he-who-shall-not-be-named-in-comedy-discussions: Bill Cosby. Despite all the recent allegations against him, many of his old routines remain funny. I admit, it's a bit odd listening to those bits now, but they do still make me laugh, I'm sorry.

    Shit, I love BC's old stuff. I somehow, within myself, reconcile that as I do with Polanski's Rosemary's Baby or Woody's What's Up Tiger Lily, etc. Not to mention Jimmy Page, Jerry Lee, many more.

    Not always feasible but if so - you gotta keep 'em separated!

    What's Up Tiger Lily, damn, haven't thought of that movie in a while. Seriously, thanks for referencing it, I think I need to dig out the VHS from when I taped it off tv, lol.

    Lewis Black
    Carlin
    Pryor
    Crystal
    Eddie Murphy
    Robin Williams - Can't watch a movie without crying watching the first scene he's in. Goddamn, I miss him.
    Bobcat - Listened to a post 2000s comedy album and was surprised at how not annoying he was in the 80s.
    Oswalt
    Donald Glover
    Baron "Tom Servo MST3K reboot" Vaughan
    Gaffigan
    Norm - My favorite Weekend Update host. He just didn't give a fuck and stuck it to Lorne.

    Louis Anderson...

    Is he still alive?

    My serious answer would be Jeffries, Schumer, Glaser (who I will marry), and Patton

    Most say Up In Smoke is their best but Next Movie is my favorite especially for that space coke scene at the end where he acts like the Hulk! :rofl:
