Comedians I like who have consistently made me laugh:
George Carlin (A god)
Louis C K
Sarah Silverman (I’ve loved this woman since she was on SNL, so much so I married a petite Jewess!)
Zach Galifianakis (Has made me laugh so hard I almost pissed my pants, thank god there was no line!)
Bill Hicks (This man was one of the best of all time.)
Sam Kinison (Thankfully I got to see him do a show live in 89, or 90, at the University of South Florida)
David Cross
Dave Chappelle
Tina Fey
Lewis Black
Patton Oswald
Brian Posehn
Maria Bamford
Albert Brooks
Bob Newhart
Richard Pryor
Steve Martin
Flight of the Conchords
David Letterman
Norm MacDonald (Sarcastic as hell and GREAT)
Dennis Leary (was a great stand up, too bad he decided to become a full time actor)
Bill Maher (I’m still pissed they pulled Politically Incorrect off the networks, happily I have HBO)
Dennis Miller (Was great before he became a conservative, what’s up with that?)
Eddie Murphy (Great stand up in the 80’s and 90’s, then he started making kiddie movies)
Martin Mull
Bill Murray
John Belushi
Joe Rogan
Freddie Prinze (one of the first comedians that made me think when I was a kid in the late 70’s)
Gilda Radner
Chris Rock
Jim Gaffigan
Martin Sargent (it’s tech humor but he’s a funny guy)
Jerry Seinfeld (come on he’s on everyone’s list right?)
Harry Shearer
Christopher Guest (also probably one of the funniest film makers in existence)
David Spade (he’s good at his schtick)
Julia Sweeney
Wanda Sykes
Harry Anderson ( I got to see him on the street once in New Orleans, before Night Court)
Larry David
All of the ‘Kids in the Hall’
Lily Tomlin (she used to have some really funny stand up in the 80’s)
Damon Wayans
Robin Williams (I remember seeing him on HBO in the late 70’s and just being blown away at the maniac!)
Flip Wilson
Steven Wright
Jonathan Winters
Robert Wuhl
Cheech and Chong
Monty Python
Penn and Teller
Jon Stewart
Jimmy Kimmel (Notice I put him far away from Sarah Silverman, she should be mine, I’m portly too, 1 year younger than him and funnier!)
…. I know what your saying, “Is that all?” Actually probably not but you get the idea!
If you’d care to know more about what I do for a day job: I’d prefer you laugh AT me…..no really!
Originally, I had Jonathan Winters in my honorable mention of my Top 5, but my list grew too large. I like the majority of your choices. I really dig both of the Belushi’s, Sam Kinison, Gilda Radner, Rodney Dangerfield (where is he on the list?), and Dennis Miller.
kudos for mentioning Newhart. he is often overlooked and underrated as a comedian.
Still pissed off about Maher’s show too (although I hear the man is a total asshole – but do I care? Not really!)
No Sacha Baron Cohen in the list? Ali G? Come on! His first interviews are simply brilliant!
Are f—–g Ben Affleck too?
Followed you back, going to have a look around – thanks again for your comment!
Cool a new stalker!!!… Thanks for dropping by and I meant it, it was a good post!… Hope you laugh (that’s our goal here at yuck yuck’s unlimited)
