Members BrendanO Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 The late Victor Borga was also hilarious. I almost want to call him a prop comedian (i.e. the page turner bit, and lot of the stuff around, not on, the piano he does), but he was just a flat out funny dude. Inflationary Language, Phonetic Punctuation...all great stuff. And goddammit, people, DANE COOK IS NOT FUNNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Larry the Dog Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 Nice to see Louis CK and Patton Oswalt getting their well deserved props. I watched Louis CKs HBO special a few weeks ago and nearly pissed myself. absolutely no politics, religion, or social issues.........just a guy rambling about observations and life. And he's actually funny......not to rip on Dane Cook, but........you know what? {censored} him. I've seen a lot of standups over the years, and each of them have at least ONE good routine. But not that {censored}stick... Patton Oswalt? What isn't funny about him? I'm also convinced that he used to be the lead singer in Accept........

Members murch33 Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 Dane Cook the single least funny comedian working. Period.Absolute truf. My favorites are all O&A regulars: Jim Norton, Patrice Oneal, Colin Quinn, Jay Mohr, Bob Kelly, Otto & George... Hell, even Vos is funny on accident from time to time. And then there are the bigger names like Chappelle, Carlin, Rock, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JimAnsell Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 2 pages and no mention of doug stanhope? -1 on mitch headburg.some of his material was good, but there really wasn't a whole lot of it.his live shows, in the later years were {censored}ing awful. i saw him twice, and i would have walked out if i'd been by myself, both times.especially the last time. he was {censored}ed out of his mind on stage, fell over a few times, dropped the mic, his drink, etc. not to mention both times, he was just reading his same old material out of a {censored}ing notebook.stoned/retarded college kids ate it up. stanhope gets drunk on stage, but he is still a damn good, quick witted, performer who knows how to totally horrify and enrage a crowd, and then get them right back on his side again. George carlin is my comedic hero as well.he's got my vote for the best of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hegmatronicon Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 PLUS 1 to whoever said Jeff Dunham - that guy kills me.And leary was funny as hell on No Cure For Cancer and Lock n Load too. Billy Connolly FTWBill Hicks - RIPPpl keep saying Eddir Murphy - Raw - i thought Delerious was funnier - but both are great.Henry Rollins - while he's not a comedian - some of stories are funny as hell!Kevin Smith - again - not a comedian - but the way he tells a dirty story is GOLD!

Members bob the dentist Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 Another HUGE +1 on Patton Oswalt. I'm partial to David Cross too, but I know he really isn't that funny, and that he's a gigantic asshole. Something about him keeps me listening, I don't know why.

Members bob sakamano Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 patton oswalt. get 'feeling kinda patton' and piss yourself for fun. 'werewolves and lollipops' is good too. chris rock, eddie murphy delerious era, old richard pryor and old carlin, are all {censored}ing genius. i also have a soft spot for dice, he was just so {censored}ing raw im tired of dane cook's schtick (e.g. 'sangwitch', and repeating everything he just said over and over while annunciating each repetition more and more ) david cross stopped being funny when he stopped doing comedy with bob odenkirk. everything dave has done stand-up-wise after mr. show consists of close-minded bitching. love him in arrested development though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pavel Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 Nice to see some Patton Oswalt props. I think he is highly underrated. Search for "Stella Dora Breakfast Treats" and "Death Bed" on youtube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
