Feel free to share the best ones you have seen. I've decided my eyes are too fucking strained to watch TV for awhile and spend more time than a few clicks on the computer now and then, so I will enjoy listening to comedy on my down time. and resting my eyeballs. Goddamn it feels like the inside of my eyeball has a headache. Anyways, Link Posting is appreciated! Preferably youtube

I just watched Louis CK a few minutes ago, It was a 2015 one, I liked it I have to check out Joe Rogan. I remember enjoying his DMT skit/description

I have always wanted to check out George Carlin because of his memes, also, one skit I saw in the past. Also Robin Williams I remember seeing an interview, He is a unique talent for sure. The way he reacts to people is almost genius, at least it was on one of the late night type of shows I saw
Quote:
Amanita86 said: Mitch Hedberg. RIP brother.
I have seen nearly all of Mitch Hedberg. There is a joke he had about like number 7 (orwhatever number) being pissed off at number 8 (again dont remember the full joke or numbers) for whatever reason that I cannot remember or find. It was one of my favorites from him and I just will never hear the actual joke again, I will just remember the feeling of cleverness that came along with it like most of his one liners/two liners and such. He was also a Unique talent, different then Robin Williams, but very creative and original. I guess they both had that going for them

If anyone hasn't checked out Ron White, I recommend that 2 minute clip to get a taste of him. Growing up I watched his stuff. Drunk in public, and 'They call me tater' salad were my favorite stand up acts of his.

He is the one liner king. I can't think of anyone who had that style before him, or after.

his one liners are so good. one of my favourites is the bit where he talks about smokey the bear and a frog. and his like ' i will never say " oh look, here comes that frog " in a threatening manner. It's always optimistic, maybe he will settle near me, and i can pet him '
hes great

I really do not think mitch hedberg is a rip off of of wright after listening to a couple hours of listening to s wright. imo, they have differences in delivery, and story structure in alot of their jokes. It reminds me of a 'genre' of music. It might be classified as rock, but then there are sub-genres of rock. and they are each a sub-genre

Example; Mich Hedburg "Im doing two shows for 50% of the door, I will soon have a whole door" Streven wright "A UFO landed, 3 one inch tall guys got out, they walked over to me, I asked them 'are you really one inch tall?' they said 'no we're just really far out'"
Thats a double entendra perspective joke. The guy is as deep as a yuma well, I'd love to do mushrooms with him, he'd probably fuck my brain 7 ways from sunday over the course of 4 hours.

Apples to oranges man... they are completely different styles. The difference being Hedburg was actually funny most of the time Also it's not like Steven Wright invented one liners and humorous observations of everyday things.

Shroomism said: Apples to oranges man... they are completely different styles. The difference being Hedburg was actually funny most of the time Also it's not like Steven Wright invented one liners and humorous observations of everyday things.
I agree with shroomism,similar style but way different routines,subject matter and joke formation. He has a lot of jokes that aren't one liners,more complex and also having to do with his style,demeanor and delivery.
Mitch was inspired by Stephen Wright as well as many other comedians. He still has a cult following of high brow comics like Louis C.K. He was a comics comic because he perfected his deliveries and unique style that imo makes him just as good and for me funnier then Stephen Wright.
If he would've had a longer career he would be a top comedian like Louis,John mulaney,Jim Gaffigan etc.

Stanhope is my favorite living comedian. A comedians comedian. I see plenty of good acts posted but haven't seen any Patrice O'Neal. Elephant In The Room is pretty good.

You can't go wrong with George Carlin or Louie CK, OP. I personally love each and every one of either's performances.
Hell, when I die, if people really insist on fulfilling last wishes, at my funeral once everyone is sitting down and ready for the ceremony, lights go out, a big projector switches on and 'Life is Worth Losing' will start playing.

Well in all honesty he does have a "Jim Morrison of comedians" way about him, in his speaking mannerisms, the puzzled look etc. Id go see either of them (which might be a little hard unfortunatly)

Patrice O'Neal kicked ass, another RIP. I dont think Ive seen Kevin Hart listed. I know he's on blast now and verging on overexposure but his ability to turn every day stories into hilarity, I highly admire. He'd be a blast to hang out with. In the same context I always wish I'd got a chance too hang out with Farley..

Ok now I see some good arguments, before it was irksome. Agreed many carrier comedians are either dead or moved on to other things, I see CK desperately trying to break into screen writing, and while I like his style I think he ought not write/produce his own shows, he's a manic depressive train wreck.
Speaking of manic depressive train wrecks . . . . We all presumably love Bill Hicks, do we remember denis leary? Leary was my first, I remember hearing no cure for cancer and nearly pissing myself "mowing the lawn and crying - BWAAAA, BWAAA" and "I made a bong outta my HEAD MAN!!!" But then a couple years later I didn't type in "Denis Leary - Jim Fix" I just typed "Jim Fix"; and bill hicks popped up in youtube in stead, this is when I discovered that no cure for cancer was a polished up alloy of nearly every high point of Hicks's carrier, -- Look I'm not trying to rekindle the 'who came first' argument like with wright/hedburg - I'm just paying homage to Leary for introducing me to the wide world of standup comedy firstly. Bill was like a mushroom; wild and squishy, rough and tainted with shit, but down to earth and organic, Denis was like acid, metallic and abrasive, he was a hollywood man from early on, he was excellent in demolition man and natural born killers, much as I hate his stinking rotten guts he was my first - hell I stopped through NYC when I traveled to new england just because of his comedic commentary about the city, I drove FDR drive (A highway with 6' potholes and killer cabbies)

I'm not gonna read the whole thread so I'm sure some of these have already been mentioned. Oh, well 
Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson on Parks and Rec) recently released an incredibly hilarious stand up performance on Netflix called "American Ham". As did Russel Brand. Both definitely worth checking out.
Jim Jefferies is one of my current favorites David Cross is all-time #1 Marc Maron's newer releases Doug Stanhope Louis C.K. Jim Norton Todd Barry Bill Hicks (obviously) Mitch Hedburg (obviously) Bill Burr George Carlin (obviously) Hannibal Buress Doug Benson Craig Fergusen's stand-up is surprisingly funny Josh Blue Chris Porter Mike Birbiglia Dana Gould Zach Galifianakis Joe Rogan
And I'm sure tons of others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

The Absolute Classic
"It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's just hilarious." -Bill Hicks
The Blue Joke
"I can speak for every guy in this room here tonight. Guys, if you could blow yourselves, ladies, you'd be in this room alone right now. Watching an empty stage." -Bill Hicks
The Christian Joke
"Lots of Christians wear crosses around their necks… You really think when Jesus comes back, he ever wants to see a f*cking cross?" -Bill Hicks
The Equality Joke
"I believe that there is an equality to all humanity: We all suck." -Bill Hicks
The Evolution Joke
"Folks, it's time to evolve. That's why we're troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything's failing? It's because, um – they're no longer relevant. We're supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?" -Bill Hicks `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Why are hemorrhoids called “hemorrhoids” instead of “assteroids”? -Geroge Carlin
I’ve always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. -George Carlin
Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? -George Carlin
Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? -George Carlin
If God dropped acid, would he see people? -George Carlin `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` I can whistle with my fingers, especially if I have a whistle. -Mitch Hedberg
I'm a hard act to follow, because when I'm done, I take the microphone with me. -Mitch Hedberg
I ate one anchovy, and that is why I did not eat two anchovies. -Mitch Hedberg
If you can't sleep, count sheep. Don't count endangered animals. You will run out. -Mitch Hedberg
I wanted to get a tape recorder, but I got a parrot instead. I think I did that joke backwards. -Mitch Hedberg `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` "It's called the Grandfather Paradox. The reason why a time machine is impossible is 'cause if you had a time machine, you could go back in time, and kill your grandfather before your father was ever conceived, thus you could have never existed to make that time machine. I'm like what kind of asshole wants to kill his grandfather." -Joe Rogan
"Pot's still illegal and no one has a jet pack. What the fuck is going on? Isn't this Silicon Valley? Where's the jet packs, bitch?!" Joe Rogan
"I was at home the other day, high as giraffe pussy, watching the History Channel and they had this documentary on In Search of Noah's Ark, and I went 'Uhhhhh, how 'bout you go lookin' for the fuckin' Snuffleupagus while you're at it? I heard that dude's a-missin'!" -Joe Rogan
"Hey there Delilah what's it like there in New York City? Don't you want to answer that question. 'I bet it's awesome because you're not there, you fucking rhyming stalker weirdo.'" -Joe Rogan
Never stay in a bad marriage, and don't hang around with psycho coke fiends. -Joe Rogan `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` There’s this critical point where you’ve stayed single for too long and your brain switches from ‘You know, maybe I shouldn’t say that,’ to “Eh, fuck it, say it, see what happens.” -Bill Burr
I gotta tell you, I’m envious of women. I’m not saying your problems get solved but at least they’re taken seriously. There’s 1-800 numbers, there’s ribbons, there’s groups—people give a shit. Anything happens to a guy, it’s just considered funny. -Bill Burr
A good story is always you doing something wrong, you know? That’s why nice people are so damn boring. I mean, they’re nice, but their stories suck. -Bill Burr
I love my dog. I hate bankers. I have issues with women. In my head, I’m a great guy. -Bill Burr
Women are constantly patting themselves on the back for how difficult their lives are and no one corrects them because they want to fuck ‘em. -Bill Burr ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
