    Some of the old Cheech and Chong albums are hilarious.....very funny skits with very memorable characters!

    Eddie Murphy is hilarious as well.

    Good call. I used to have the tape of Himself when I was a kid and I thought it was hilarious. I just watched it on tv the other day and got so much more out of it now that I'm a parent. I loved it all over again, and for different reasons this time.

    he's already been mentioned but Daniel Tosh is great...if you can handle watching the videos he shows on his program.

    He's on tour right now. He'll be in Toronto this weekend. Looking forward to it.

    Bo Burnham is BY FAR the most clever wordsmith I've ever seen. He's musical comedy mostly with poetry mixed in and hes like 22 years old. Started getting famous posting YouTube videos at like age 14 and the ones he did then are so much more clever and intelligent that most of what any other comedian you'll find has come up with.

    It can be pretty fast paced so its easy to miss what hes saying so I'd suggest following along with some lyrics or something.

    Check out his DVD special, Words Words Words, it streams instant on Netflix if you have it.

    If you can, I'd suggest Let It Go for Bill Burr.
