POLL: Greatest Stand-Up Comedian of All-Time
 

I was having a debate with a friend about who the greatest stand up comedian of all time is/was. This poll is going to include some of Comedy Central's Top 100 Comedians List so that everyone should be there that has some fame/talent. I'll also include Dane Cook as I believe that he is quite talented.

I'm not a huge Dane Cook fan, although I do see he has talent. He's just not really my style most of the time. He is however nowhere NEAR the greatest stand-up comedian of all-time.

Carlin
Bruce
Rock
Pryor

(wish I coulda picked 4)

Anyone other than Carlin, Bruce, or Pryor winning this poll will probably show a simple lack of familiarity with the grandaddies of stand-up.

I agree- definitely not top 50 all-time or anything but he was added more because of his immense popularity across the US presently.

WTF is a Goonie Goo-Hoo? Pryor in a landslide.

Bill Hicks - Not Even Close

There are some other great comics on this list, and some absolute abortions, but nobody was better than Hicks.

Dane Cook sucks, why is he even on the list?

where can I find some sound clips of these guys?

Dane Cook shouldn't be mentioned - if he's going to be, why isn't Andrew 'Dice' Clay up there? For 2 years, Dice was a stand-up God - he even got a [censored] movie out of it. Dane Cook is a big star right now, but let's see if he can do it for 20 years before we go putting him on a list with Carlin and Pryor.
