Who is/are your favourite(s) comedian?

[elitemonkeh]

My personal favorite was Mitch Hedberg.....then he overdosed.....(in all seriousness) it was extremely sad.

Here is one of my favourite quotes:

I bought a doughnut, and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I don't need a receipt for the doughnut, man, I'll just give you the money, and you give me the doughnut... end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I just can't imagine a scenario where I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. Some skeptical friend: "Don't even act like I didn't get that doughnut! I got the doc-u-men-tation right here... oh, wait it's at home... in the file... under 'D'... for doughnut."

I find a duck's opinion of my is very much influenced by whether or not I have bread.

A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.

Off topic, am I the only one who thinks Dane Cook isn't funny at all?

His jokes aren't subtle enough; I hate comedians who are in your face. He isn't the worse though; there are some pretty horrible comedians who seem to think shock value is the only way to get laughs anymore.

Eddie Izzard is absolutely brilliant, went to see him in London. I've never laughed so much.

Dan Cook or Mitch Hedburg. Both a absolutely brilliant in vastly different ways.

Dylan Moran is pretty epic, I gotta say.
There are a few others, but he's my favourite. ^_^

Yes. I absolutely love Dylan Moran's standup. It's nearly as funny as Black Books

 

[nicholaxxx]

Lewis Black, Demertri Martin, Jeremy Hotz, Brian Regan, Russel Peters and Danny Bhoy.

RIP Mitch Hedberg, he was my ABSOLUTE favorite, followed up by Brian Regan.

Aside from myself? Can't say. his Initials are GI. Tired of every time i find a new comedian not many know about he becomes huge and his jokes are ruined cause they are heard to much.

If I'm not misinterpreting you your saying that if you tell us his name he'll become hugely famous and you don't want to do that because then his jokes would be overused? I really hope I am misinterpreting you.

no not at all, I hate him.

I used to be really into standup comedy like i would watch it everyday an hour or two. I like David Cross, George Carlin, Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn.
just went to see Bill Cosby live two weeks or so ago.

I've benn watching a lot of comdeians lately, strange i made this thread isn't it? Anyway, the comedians that i've seen people know the most are Dane Cook, Jeff Dunham, Jo Koy, and Stephen Lynch.

I wanted to know, what are The Escapists' favourite comedians? (by the way, it's a habbit the way i spell favourite)

It seems i'm the only one who noticed the error in your title. The second possible (s) should be on the word comedian not favourite.

OT: I've almost died of laughter twice in my life. Once was Robin Williams "Scottish man inventing golf" skit. The second was Dara O Braian doing some of his work with the people in the crowd. What a pair of geniuses.

Its not that. It's just how often do you hear people say dane cooks jokes and Ruin them?

But you seriously think you're the one who determines that comics popularity? As if hes some undiscovered guy telling jokes in a bar until you endorse him. I dunno, it sounds weird to me.

"I love my fed-ex guy cause he's a drug dealer and he don't even know it...and he's always on time."

"What am I drinking? NyQuil on the rocks, for when you're feeling sick but sociable."

"By the way, you don't have to be sweaty and holding a basketball to enjoy a Gatorade. You could just be...a thirsty dude! Gatorade forgets about this demographic!"

Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan are my two favorites. Dane Cook was good before he sold out.

 

[soren7550]

Christopher Titus, The Amazing Johnathan, and Carlos Mencia have to be my favorites.
