As a listenter of all things funny and satirical, I enjoy discoverying new comedians. In this thread, feel free to share your favorites, and why you like them.

 

I'll start. Everyone knows Louis CK, but he is no joke. His comedy is probably some of the best out there. I personally like how relatable he is. He isn't some larger than life figure that doesn't seem to be connected to the real world. He is majestically average.

Fox News is pretty funny. Would they be considered unintentional comedians? If not than I am not sure.

Not the biggest connoisseur of stand up comedy but my gods are good old Bill Hicks and George Carlin. Real life prophets and hilarious to boot. I enjoy Louis a lot as well.

I would be lying if I said I didn't have a George Carlin folder with all of his material and books. I've enjoyed some Bill Hicks as well.

Bill Burr is by far my favorite now. His podcast is freaking hilarious. He can be talking about the most mundane stuff and be hilarious. He's the perfect mix of relatable and batsh*t crazy.

I think Louis CK is kinda overrated now. Shameless was hilarious but his most recent special was much worse. His show was amazing though, loved almost every episode.

I don't really like George Carlin. From what I've seen of him, he tries to actually make a point. It's annoying. That's what I like about Bill Burr, he will spend 5 or 10 minutes ranting on a topic he has no idea about and then will admit it.

Like one time on his podcast he thought cars were lighter now than they were like 30-40 years ago. Also thought a water powered engine was made and could be used in cars.

Took waaaaaaay too long to be mentioned. Props to you, shame on everyone else. Probably the greatest stand-up comedian to ever live.

I'll add Chris Rock, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Louis CK, and Rodney Dangerfield. I'm not really a fan of George Carlin and Bill Hicks. Way too preachy and their fanbase is annoying.

He's amazing, but he's before most people's time. His jokes don't have the impact they did if you're just watching him now because everyone copied him.

And thank you for calling out George Carlin and Bill Hicks. Carlin is one of the greats and I can see that he's great but I just don't like him because he's extremely preachy. I never got Bill Hicks though.

George Carlin is number one in my book.... he pierced my soul. Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Dave Chapelle, Anthony Jeselnik, Greg Giraldo, Amy Schumer, Jimmy Carr, Louis CK, Adam Ferarra, Tom Papa, Brian Regan, Katt Williams, Eddie Griffin, Steven Wright and believe or not Andrew Dice Clay. I may have missed some.
