1. What is your opinion on it in general?
I like it. It makes lot of people laugh.
2. Favorite comedian alive today?
Jimmy Carr. His style of just joke after joke really makes me laugh.
3. Favorite Comedian Ever?
Still probably Jimmy Carr, but of course Carlin is up there. Lewis Black is also really funny.
4. Least favorite comedian alive today?
Jeff Foxworthy, although even he will sometimes get me to laugh.
5. Least favorite comedian ever?
Again, Foxworthy. He's not funny all that often for me.
6. Have you ever tried stand up comedy? How did that go?
I have not tried it.

I love stand-up comedy!

Some of my favourites are (in particular order):
Lee Evans, Dylan Moran, Russell Howard, Bill Bailey, Rhod Ghilbert, Michael Mcintyre, Dara O'Briain, Rich Hall, Jason Manford, Rowan Atkinson, Ross Noble, Lee Mack...That's all I can think of for now.
I know most of them are British and Irish that's because I think they're funnier in general (obviously not every single one)

As for least funny comedians I would have to go for Russel Brand...He is just shocking

And I haven't given it a go yet, but I really really want to but don't think I have what it takes.

Stand-up is generally a very humorous form of comedy.
Favourite comedian today? Russell Howard / Michael McIntyre.
As I haven't heard much older stuff, I can't add anything about dead comedians.
Least favourite? Might actually be Frankie Boyle, his stand-up routine was mostly just offensive.
See reasoning for #3
I haven't tried stand-up but I'd probably get "the wrong sort of laughs". If you know what I mean.

I'm too lazy to answer that whole list, I just wanna say that Joe Rogan is one of the best comics out there and everyone should watch talking monkeys in space. Its a stand up special of his.

1. What is your opinion on it in general? - I've got to be in the right mood, otherwise I'll probably find it lame.
2. Favorite comedian alive today? - I guess I'd say Stephen Lynch, just because adding the singing aspect seems to make it even harder (aka more impressive).
3. Favorite Comedian Ever? - George Carlin...nobody else comes close IMO.
4. Least favorite comedian alive today? - Dane Cook...if you can call him a comedian.
5. Least favorite comedian ever? - Rodney Dangerfield...you get no respect because you only have one joke, you hack
6. Have you ever tried stand up comedy? How did that go? - No, I'm not nearly outgoing enough for something like that. Besides, I'm funnier when I have a setup for a witty response, rather than just telling random jokes.

DANE COOK?!

OT: I can't really be bothered to answer if I'm honest. I just saw Dane Cook and got angry.

Yea, there's 3 pretty poor answers right there.

Cook was bad enough.

Yes. But, it's just your opinion, so I can't fault you too badly.
I expected a hostile hate on him and my taste and so on...but thank you for respecting my opinion.
