Good comedians

[Dr Snakeman]

If you are a lazy food-loving son of a ***** that enjoys humor related to those subjects, then go to Youtube.

Now.

And then search for Jim Gaffigan.

Best comedian I've seen on Comedy Central by far.

Gabriel Iglesias is funny as hell.

These are both excellent choices. However, my personal favorite comedian is Bo Burnham, a very young, very talented comedian who got his start on YouTube. His fast-paced, offensive, musical puns are full of references to literature, math, and history. He's perfect for the nerd who appreciates dark, "that's horrible!" humor.


This is bak in the days before he got a Comedy Central special. His new one, Words, Words, Words, is even better than his first one.

Darn, ninja'd. I was going to suggest Lewis Black. Hm, have you ever seen Chris Rock or Dane Cook? They are quite funny too, at least in my opinion.

Your name is blue, why?
I want pretty colours to!

PT:I like Russel Howard and David Mitvhell.
And Jack Dee.
also Jimmy Carr
Dara o Brian is good to.
along with that guy.

 

[TheLiham]

Frankie Boyle, Adam Hills, Noel Fielding and Jack Whitehall are all amazing

 

[crudus]

Mitch Hedburg is always hilarious.

How were you ninja'ed?! You are the first post!

[Brutal Peanut]

Billy Connolly <<<< ^_^
George Carlin
Patton Oswalt
Louis C.K.
Lewis Black
Eddie Izzard
Brian Regan
Bill Burr
Gabriel Iglesias.
I find them all hilarious. Especially Billy Connolly.

 

[JokerCrowe]

Eddie Izzard.

For musical comedians; Tim Minchin, Flight of the Conchords, and (if you like dark humor) Stephen Lynch. And Bo Burnham.

I think everyone else have been mentioned. Oh and Eddie Izzard.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

The Blue Collar comedy tour is pretty sweet. Those four are hillarious.

 

[Lilani]

I've exhausted their videos however, and need some new comedians. Can anyone recommend me any comedians based on that list?

I recommend Robin Williams and Patton Oswalt. They have very similar styles to the guys you listed

 

[FalloutJack]

Denis Leary
Dane Cook
Robin Williams
Bill Cosby
Carlos Mencia

Add them to your funny list.

 

[historybuff]

Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison, Jim Gaffigan and Russel Peter has a few good skits.

 

[firemark]

Robin Williams (his old stuff may be a bit dated, but it's hilarious! Especially his thoughts on golf), Tommy Tiernan, Gabriel Iglesias, Jeff Dunham, Flight of the Conchords, Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, Daniel Tosh.

That pretty much sums up all the ones I like.

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

Ricky Gervais! He´s pretty great at stand-up comedy. His views on religion and fat people are hilarious.

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Brendon Burns

 

[coldwarkid]

If I could recommend the ever-glorious and always lovely Teddy Craig:


...the consistently amazing Mark Watson:


...and the constantly astounding Andrew Maxwell:

 

[Tartarga]

Go to youtube and look for some of Ben Bailey's material. You might recognize him as the host of Cash Cab and he is damn funny.

 

[viranimus]

Hicks, Kinison and Carlin the unholy trinity.

Christopher titus
Ralphie May
Eddie Izzard

Bo Burnham is fairly good for the younger crowd and for musical comedians both of which I do not like.

Im also surprised no one mentioned Lisa Lampinelli.

And obligitory reference to Greg Giraldo simply due to his recent passing.

 

[DanielDeFig]

Eddie Izzard

George Carlin and Dave Chappelle are great.

Dylan Moran and Lewis Black are jerkoffs with awesome stage presence but shitty shitty jokes.

Try Richard Pryor if you grew up with people like Carlin. If not, try and do some research or at least watch his shit in chronological order or it'll be more confusing than funny.

Also you can't beat some Mitch Hedberg jokes.
