Favorite Stand-Up Comedian.

[Ansem-The-Wise]

Who do you think is/was the best stand-up?

My favorite has to be George Carlin. The man was a genious ahead of his time. His political satire and his rants about the problems in America, ranging from anorexia to religion to golf to suicide have brought a new way to see things. His unique form of humor created a whole new form of 'vulgar'.

A close second would be Lewis Black.

Who were your favorites?

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Been done a million times. Mine changes a lot, as with many things.

Plus there are so many to choose from.

I agree with both Mr. Carlin and Mr. Black, however there are two others that rank up very high in the grand scheme of laughing my ass off. David Cross and Mitch Headburg.
