    You clearly never saw "Delirious" or "Raw".
    They will be in history as some of the funniest shows off all time!

    I'm shocked on how you could say that.

    2 shows do not make a comedy legend in my opinion.

    I personally think Billy Connolly or Eddie Izzard would destroy Eddie Murphy in a stand-up challenge, well Billy Connolly would win and Eddie Murphy would be far too busy trying to coax the famous transvestite Eddie Izzard to come home with him. :)

    That's unfortunately all I remember about Eddie Murphy. He tried to pick up a ladyboy hooker once didnt he?

    Dane Cook

    His jokes are stolen, he takes 10 minutes to build one up, and he's just a fake.


    Now Jeff Foxworthy hasnt been funny in 10 years, and he shows his ignorance whenever he opens his mouth about current events.

    I'll start. Bill Hicks. Why? Too sanctimonious. Too "rock and roll". Too opinionated. Uneven material. And that mullet.


    Your turn.
    You disgust me richard :)

    Bill was actually a massively underrated comedian. People seem to only really know his later stuff when he was vaguely well-known, when he was more concerned with spoken-word tours about politics and social satire (which I also love. I think he did it with passion and a vision, not because he was sanctimonious). His earlier stuff shows a brilliant sense of comic timing and very well written material. Saying he was too opinionated is ridiculous, you sound like a Dane Cook fan: "I don't wanna have to like, think when I watch comedy". Of course he had a mullet, he was a texan in the 80s.

    Bill had a unique passion that was often unpleasant, sometimes infuriating, sometimes made him sound like a preachy, sad, twisted man, which he was. He was also possessed. Every time I listen to Rant in E Minor I feel like he was the only person in comedy who saw it's potential to try and make people laugh and disagree with him at the same time.

    but anyway, here is some of his FUNNY stuff. The ending is strangely poetic and disgusting at the same time too :)

    I think the most underrated comedian is Stewart Lee, a man I will be seeing on the 28th :)
    This clip is still funny having seen it about 50 times. His style is very slow, he builds a joke over about 10 minutes so you need to pay attention but he is so funny.

    yes, but Van Morrisson had left by that point. Still good though. ;)

    I'm not looking for an argument on this subject, i believe we were all asked who we thought are over-rated? I just dont find the comedians I posted to be funny, or at least as funny as they are made out to be, sorry if that doesn't agree with your viewpoint.

    We are all different individuals, so it's cool. :)

    oh i forgot one... mitch hedberg... stings together what most comedians would consider notes for a decent joke using absolutely zero transitions and he sounds like hes coked up the whole time... like an untalented, musicless tom waits

    my favorites right now are george carlin (always), david cross, and brian posehn (the last 2 will be at 'roo so if youre going check em out)

    Eddie Murphy's entire routine is a carbon copy of Richard Pryor's act, it's embarrassing, less an homage than complete theft.
