What is your favorite comedic stand up routine? My personal favorite is Eddie Murphy's Delirious. Simply hysterical. Raw is good but nowhere near Delirious. I'm also a big fan of Dave Chapelle. His voice alone is enough to make me laugh. Both of his stand ups are hysterical. "Dave, you're on drugs. A penis can't be cutting your hair!" :lol:
Bill Cosby as Himself.
Hmmmm I figured you would say that.Quote:

Anything by Dave Chapelle.
Because Dave Chapelle is the man.
Nick DiPallo. Funny as hell. Definately spelled his name wrong though. Haven't heard him in a while but he was really funny when I heard him about four or five years ago.
Later all...
Denis Leary No Cure for Cancer. The fact that 90% of the routine would send Ethugg into fits of apoplectic rage is icing on the cake.
No mentions of George Carlin.. :(
Lewis Black. Enough said.
"if it weren't for my horse..."
there are a couple of others, but i dont remember there names.
Lewis Black. Enough said.
"if it weren't for my horse..."
That was classic. Man I laughed for about five minutes after that ended.:) Also the stuff about the different climates every day was hilarious. Good shit.
Later all...
I've heard plenty of his cds... I'm not sure if I heard that one, but he's never made me have any 'fits'...Quote:

I enjoy the acts of these comedians though I really can't pin them to a certain performance:
Chris Rock- haven't seen any recent stuff though
Nick Swanson
Amazing Jonathan- crappy tricks and some cornball jokes, I still sit through Lounge Lizards when possible.
Dave Attel- "If you see a naked man running down the street, run with that man, 'cause I gurantee there's some scary shit coming right behind him."
*-neo
"when you hear thunder and you go to the window to look out, you dont expect to see SNOW with LIGHTNING beHIND IT!"
I've never seen Dave Attel's stand up, but Insomniac is fucking hilarious.
I particularly like Eddie Izzard, comic activist Mark Thomas - who legally drove a tank around the streets of London through a loophole that allowed it to be used as an ice cream van and also parked a van outside McDonalds, bought a load of their burgers then started selling them from the van at discounted prices - much to their chagrin.
Eddie Murphy is pretty funny too.
Man, I always forget his last name, but his first name is Brian. I taped his routine the second time I saw it, because it was so funny. So if you saw a routine by a Brian, there's probably 1/1000th chance it's the guy I'm talking about.
Except: "I've gotta get a toaster!"
Gotta go with Leary: No cure for cancer...
Bill Cosby's stand up work is genius. Some of his classic stuff is, well, classic.
I see alot of stand up on pay TV, and the funniest I've seen in along time was this Australian guy who was going about how great fish-sticks are. "You get the goodness of a fish, in the convienience of a stick" :lol:
bahahahahahahahahahaQuote:

"Don't think about it to hard."
That is my all time favorite routine. Good call Rhydant! :D
No way I can just pick one...so I wont.
George Carlin - pretty much anything he has ever done cracks me up
Dave Attel - Wish he was on the Daily Show more again
The Amazing Jonathon - saw his show live in Vegas (really small). It was the most awesome time I have ever had. Never laughed so hard in my life. Pretty much everything he did on Lounge lizards plus some more hillarious shit that would NEVER make it onto tv.
Lewis Black - Saw him at Summerfest this year...the man is a lunatic. He wasnt supposed to cuss since it was at a festival and sponsered by a family type company...but it did not stop him..too bad it was so damn hot.
Eddie Izzard - He needs another special on HBO - I honestly dont know why or how he is so funny, maybe it is the drag or the british accent...CHOW!
Steven Wright - Better known as the dude on the couch in Half Baked....hilarious
I am forgetting one guy...I cant remember his name. Can anybody help me out at all? He is young, has long hair to his shoulders and always wears sunglasses. He talks kind of funny and stutters. Very odd, but funny. He is always on Conan and was recently on Letterman.
Anybody know who I am talking about?
Ethugg, I figured you would say that cuz of all your views on morality.
Greg Proops and Lewis Black, above all.
Paula Poundstone is quite funny, I like her dry wit.
Has anyone seen Joel Hodgeson's (of MST3K) stand-up bits? It's pretty much a parade of inventions, but what makes it hilarious is that it seems like Joel is stoned out of his mind the entire time.
I'll go with anything by Carlin. He always makes me laugh.
Also Leary, Atel and Chapel all good :p
Chris Rock
Dave Atel
Jamie Foxx: I might need security. Let's just say that the title is 100% true.
I like Chris Rock, George Carlin (pre-last decade) and a lot of not so moral comics... I just think Bill is funnier...Quote:

My all time favorite routine was by Kevin Meany. I guess he self-destructed, huh?
"Stop it! What are you doing parading around in those tight pants? We're big-pants people. Now go to your room and put on your big pants! Running around in those tight pants - like a crazy person! The neighbors'll see you and then we'll lose the house!"
Trust me, his original routine was about the funniest fifteen minutes ever. He went to oblivion after that.
Paula Poundstone is also one of the funniest humans I have ever listened to. She probably has my second favorite stand-up routine, and she is as consistent as they come.
