Denis Leary ripped off Bill Hicks

and I care because?

but i can't stand Bill Dwyer

I totally agree

[Protoclown]

I am not familiar with Sarah Silverman.

As for Denis Leary ripping off Bill Hicks, as far as I can recall the only similar bits they have were that whole smoking/Jim Fix thing. And that may just be a coincidence.

Regardless, I still like Denis Leary. Whether he ripped that off of Hicks or not, he still has plenty of his own original material that's damn funny in its own right. I love it when he goes off on the stupid shit his kids do.

[Ninjavenom]

I like Leary, but i can't stand to watch his No Cure For Cancer special on tv anymore. I look at his stuff as something i'll maybe laugh once at. After the inital punchline, it just doesn't seem as funny to me.

[moonlitnight]

Well, I like Michael Mittermeier, but I don't think anybody knows him!?

[Vibecrewangel]

Wayne Brady
Ryan Stiles
Eddie Izzard

I'm going to see Eddie Izzard in September. :D

Mitch Hedberg
"My apartment is infested with koala bears. Its the cutest infestation ever!"
Bill Hicks
"I wanna hang with you and play twister! 'Thats pornographic!'"
George Carlin
"After I stick this red hot poker up my ass, I'm going to chop my dick off!"
Dave Chapelle
"They even got a pimp on that show! (Sesame Street) They don't come out and say it though, they call him the count"
Dave Attell
"I like that story, because it starts out really manly, and ends kinda queer."
Dennis Leary
"I love the name alone- Capital N, small y, GIANT FUCKING Q!"
I gotta say though, Mitch Hedberg, best comedian ever!
I like Dave Atell, and I really liked his show on Comedy Central, Insomniac, but my problem with the comedy routine of his that I have is that he pretends to have an Irish accent! Goddamit, stick with the jewish new yorker accent, its good enough for a comedian

[Les Waste]

I think I'm gonna see Lewis Black in two weeks

He's gonna be at Summerfest, which is a huge music and drinking festival in Milwaukee every summer. I just gotta convince some people to go with me, since nobody wants to fucking go.

I'm so sad.

My favorite part on the Album is when the woman in the audience goes "OH!" right after this part

[DecapitatedHate]

Bob Saget

[Jixby Phillips]

I'm so glad SOMEBODY out there finally had the guts to stick it to Bob Sagat!

Does he have any articles about Martha Stewart being evil, because I totally think she is

[CastroMotorOil]

Lewis Black is hysterical live, he improvises about the first 30 min of hsi act, after that its his planned routine.

John Reep is also extremely funny, he is that guy in the dodge commcercials with the drag racing car adn the pickup.

Bill Engval is very very funny, "Here's your sign" is a term i use every day

Jeff Foxworthy, if just for the redneck jokes

And best of all, Gallagher, smart social commentary mixed with hitting shit with a big hammer, it does not get better.

[Protoclown]

I'm going to see Lewis Black up in DC in September. Les Waste, let me know how it was if you go see him in a couple weeks.

AND OMFG, I FORGOT ABOUT GALLAGHER!!! MOVE OVER, EVERYBODY! GALLAGHER IS "THE SHIT"!! HAHA HA LOL

HITTING STUFF WITH HAMMERS, WHERE DOES HE GET THOSE CRAZY IDEAS!!?? :hat

INTENSE PATRIOTISM! :salute

And all he is is redneck jokes.

[Gummy Bear]

For newer comics, I've always found Dane Cook and Jim Gaffigan hilarious.

Sarah Silverman is NOT funny. It just seems like she tries way too hard. I saw her on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show, and she was just annoying.

Wanda Sykes and Dave Chapelle do good stand up, but they have terrible shows.

[Daphne]

Uh oh...

[O71394658]

Lewis Ramey's awesome. My brother saw Dave Chappelle live, and he said he wasn't that great...but to each his own...

Lewis Black
George Carlin
Horatio Sanchez
Eddie Murphy (old-school)
Chris Rock

[Rongi]

Mitch Hedburg

[Les Waste]

I saw Dave Chappelle live in April. He was great; it was a lot better than his show. I think his show is still really good, but it's hit-or-miss. There are some episodes that I didn't laugh once at, and other episodes are nothing but pure genius skits.

I agree. Depends on the skit. My bro saw him live, and he said he wasn't that funny, because he did all the same jokes he always did (he said he laughed like hell about the subway joke though...even though he's heard it a million times)

[Les Waste]

The funniest part of his act was the stuff that wasn't part of the act. People kept yelling stuff during the entire performance because I go to a school where everybody is drunk all the time, and he kept saying stuff back. That was the best.

[Esuohlim]

It's always funny when comics say stuff back, and it's always disappointing when they don't. That's the only thing I don't like about George Carlin. People are always saying stuff like "YEAH GEORGE CARLIN" and he never acknowledges them. If I was him I would be like "Yeah, OK. Kill yourself".

[Royal Tenenbaum]

And if he was you he'd be all "Yeah. Ok, I'm gay."

[Esuohlim]

[McClain]

Thank you Gummy Bear... I thought I was going to get to the end of this thread without hearing anyone mention Dane motherfucking Cook.
He's my favorite by far. His cd "Harmful if Swallowed" is the best comic cd I own. If you don't know who Dane Cook is, you need to get some of his shit from Kazaa. You'll laugh your ass off.
