Funny comedians
I have to admit, one of my favourite guilty pleasures is hiring out a few DVD's of some of the all-time great comedians like Eddie Murphy, Jay Leno and co, and nustling up for a big night in.
I'm going to be honest, I don't like any new comedians. Most of them are either copy cats, lack any sort of comedic timing, or simply don't have to confidence to really pull it off. Every time I turn on the comedy channel I see thousands of hacks to every one decent comedian. I never thought I was comedy snob, I routinely laugh at sitcoms and other types of television comedy. So, comedy lovers, who's funny now days? Who can I exchange for the classics next time I have a big night in? |

Re: Funny comedians
I really liked Mitch Hedberg, even though some people hate his delivery.
Martin Lawrence - "You So Crazy" is one of my alltime favorite standups. As already mentioned, Dave Chappelle's HBO special(s) are great. There's a 30 minute one and a 60 minute one. Steve Harvey - "One Man" was a 60 minute HBO special that was really good Some of the older Def Comedy Jam's are just freakin classics. Chris Rock - "Bring The Pain" and "Bigger and Blacker" are great 60 minute HBO specials. His third one, "Never Scared" blew, so don't waste your time with that. |

Re: Funny comedians
you should really check out Demetri Martin. His delivery is great and he is an all around goof ball that knows how to write a good joke and put together a very good set. He's done stuff for the daily show on comedy central, and his segments for it have been excellent

[/ QUOTE ] you gotta be kidding me. this might not be his best but its still about 1000 times better than most of comedians out there. i lol'd pretty much through the whole thing. oh yeah, richard pryor has got some but definately not enough love so far. my top 3 is clear: 1) richard pryor 2) eddie murphy 3) chris rock i like chapelle but i prefer his skits to his standup. and as far as non-vulgar comedians go jerry seinfeld is awesome. |
