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

    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!
