Bill Bailey.

There are just too many good comedians!!!
Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran, Michael MacIntyre, Lee Evans, Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr, Frankie Boyle, Dara O'Briain, Stephen K Amos, Tommy Cooper (RIP), Eddie Izzard... and the list goes on...

So, basically about 50% of all British comedians...

Dave chapelle too

Well done, you won.

Bill Bailey, though im not saying he's funnier than all the rest, something about him just reeks of awesomeness ^_^

George Carlin RIP

I like Dane Cook. That guy's hilarious, if those videos on youtube are actually Dane Cook.
I also like Yahtzee.

 

[crimsondynamics]

Monty Python and Les Luthiers - while not individual comedians, their combined talents are hard to ignore.

I like Lewis Black for his politically motivated and "permanently pissed off" brand of humor.

Benny Hill had his days too, although that old bald guy who Benny always slapped on the head was half the show!

This is my first post, so be kind until I get used to posting and the like.

Anyway, I've looked through a number of different threads, many asking "what's you favourite..." Many of these are for games and films etc, but I haven't seen any about comedians.

So, who makes you laugh the most?

For me, it's a tie between Bill Bailey and Ross Noble (both English comedians).

i stick to my older comedians, none of the new ones make me laugh as much as they did. Eddie Murphey, when he was a bad ass though, Andrew Dice, Richard Prior and last but no least George Carling, the altime funnyest comedians of all time and none of you can go againts it

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

I second Charlie Brooker. He's an absolute legend.

 

[Chiasm]

Eddie Izzard, Has to be my all time favorite.

 

[Vlane]

You probably don't know him because he's a german comedian but Michael Mittermeier.

 

[DiamondJim]

George Carlin for the most part. Classic. "Get on the plane, get on the plane." "Fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane! Let Evel Knievel get on the plane!"

Also, I dabble in Eugene Mirman (youtube him if you haven't heard of him), and I find myself thinking along the same wavelengths of Lewis Black. "Like being on the Titanic every single day and being the only one who knows what's going to happen".

And yes... Yahtzee makes me giggle.

 

[Aeviv]

Frankie Boyle and Russell Howard

 

[rootATdarkstar]

Eddie Izzard, bar none. Actually, since I started watching Eddie Izzard about 8 years ago, I've literally lost all interest in stand-up comedians other than him.

 

[Geamo]

Jon Culshaw. Impressionist.

Lenny Henry is still a great guy.

Jimmy Carr is pretty funny, has to be said.

Ian Hislop and Paul Merton from "Have I got news for you" have thier moments.

 

[0bl1v1onk7]

Yahtzee! And Chhris Rock, something about his humor gets me.
But I'd say that Yahtzee is the funniest when he goes on about hookers and gay joks (no offense, there're just really funny)

 

[0bl1v1onk7]

Yahtzee! - When he goes on about hookers and gay jokes (no offense). I love how blunt and crude he is
Chris Rock - Something about him gets me

 

[Corven]

I don't know if he counts as a "stand-up" comic but The Amazing Jonathan was pretty funny the last time I saw his episode on comedy central.

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

Eddie Izzard is my all time favourite, follwed by Ross Noble, Bill Hicks, Bill Bailey, Franky Boyle, Russel Howard and Charlie Brooker.
