Who are your favourite comedians? I tend to like politically charged comedy. So, for me:
Stephen Colbert
Jon Stewart
Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Lenny Bruce
Al Franken
Bill Maher
and the entire cast of Monty Python |
|

I'll lump that list in with mine but just make one addition.
There's a T.V. show here called Corner Gas, I dunno if it's played outside of Canada, anyway, it's written by a guy named Brent Butt and it's along the lines of Seinfeld in that nothing much ever happens, except that it takes place at a cross roads in the middle of sasketchewan (nowhere) called dog river. It's absolutely hilarious. So, Add him to my list... As well as Jerry Seinfeld, because his standup is awsome. |

| I've never really liked political comedy. I'm actually not a huge fan of stand up comedy, the only comedy I've really ever enjoyed is anything from Monty Python or Mel Brooks. Mostly the Python though. Those guys rock. They even turned Graham Chapman's funeral into a comedy, and nobody considered it disrespectful! |

Although I don't get to watch much in the way of T.V., when I DO watch John Stewart, I always crack up. He makes me happy in the pants.
Other than that, I'm going to go with Dane Cook and Eddie Izzard.

Quoth Dane Cook:
I wanna be a fireman! I didn't really wanna be a fireman--I thought I did. I just wanted to spray **** with a hose. That's what I really wanted to do. I wanted to be a like sprayman, -no! I was ****in' good, I'm not laughing! I was really good with a hose. I could make it feel like it was raining-if you closed your eyes you'd think it was raining--THAT'S how good I was. You'd be like '"Oh my God, it is really raining, it's very cold rain.'... If I got to a house and it was fully on fire, **** that, I quit! I would just stand outside and watch it burn with everybody else and the woman next to me would be like 'PLEASE! MY SON! HE'S SCREAMING IN THERE!" and I'd be like 'Well he's probably on fire. That's what happens when you're on fire lady-- What are you doing out here. You ****in' think-for-yourselfer! why didn't you make a map for him or something!"

Quoth Dane Cook:
You know when he's 50, he's gonna be like, "One day a man ran up to me. I did not know this man. He smashed my treat into my eyes, and he pointed and said, 'You ****IN REMEMBER ME FOREVER!'" But I did not say "****in". I did not say that. He added "****in" to make the story more intense and interesting. He deserves to have ice cream smashed into his face, because he's a lying 50-year-old man.

Who gets killed by bees? Anytime they come on the news and say "Um, yeah, a man was killed in Austin by bees." I just ****ing laugh. How do you get killed by bees? If you're walking through the woods right and you come near a bush and you hear 'bbbbzzzbbzz' you know... just run away from that bush. Who's going by that bush going, "Hey is that bees?" Hold on on second, ohhh jeez. Dude, **** that. I would punch every bee in the face! Bees are not taking me out. I be like "Oh yeah? **** you bee! Come on! Yah bzzz. Where's the next bee at?" It's a ****in' bee. I could understand killer horses...that's scary ****...flying through the air and kicking you in the face. That's scary. **** bees. **** bees.

Hahaha. 
You just reminded me of Izzard's beekeeping bit.
'I wanna KEEP bees! I don't wanna let them get away, I want to KEEP THEM!'
'I'm covered in bees!' |

No one has mentioned Robin Williams, Dave Attell or Conan O'Brien yet. Why?
Other than those, Aaron's list pretty much sums up my opinions as well. |
