brock_boehm Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Watching Gabriel Iglesias always makes me cry from laughing so hard. Robin Williams is another good one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissSara Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Mitch Hedberg! It's hard not to love his one-liners. --I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. 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 documentation right here...oh, wait it's at home...in the file...under "D", for "doughnut. --I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --When you go to a restaurant on the weekends and it's busy they start a waiting list. They start calling out names, they say "Dufresne, party of two. Dufresne, party of two." And if no one answers they'll say their name again. "Dufresne, party of two, Dufresne, party of two." But then if no one answers they'll just go right on to the next name. "Bush, party of three." Yeah, what happened to the Dufresnes? No one seems to give a shit. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing! You fuckers are selfish. The Dufresnes are in someone's trunk right now, with duct tape over their mouths. And they're hungry. That's a double whammy. Bush, search party of three, you can eat when you find the Dufresnes. As well as Gabriel Iglesias, Jim Gaffigan and Lisa Lampanelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I saw Jim Gaffigan a few weeks ago and was pretty underwhelmed by him live. I mean it was a good show and he was funny, but he didn't seem to have the audience as into it as some other performers of his Caliber that I've seen live.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 My favourite of late has been Brian Regan. A few of his routines: The Box - Food Labels - Little League - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokiesFriend Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Walter, Bubba, Peanut, and Achmed all done by Jeff Dunham...Love his stuff. Enjoy his actual comedy before the show starts. Like the Prius being the 'gay' car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Good to know! Now I won't waste any money on seeing him live. We did see John Caparulo a few years back and he was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I really don't have a favorite anymore. Maybe because I'm old and no fun! Growing up we listened to Bill Cosby all the time and had a number of his records. Lately his reputation isn't so good. When I was a little older it was Johnny Carson but after he retired I haven't really had just one that I really liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I am going to go with Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg or George Carlin. For "newer" comedians, I like Lewis Black and Louis CK. I know I will probably get flogged for saying this, but I don't think Jeff Dunham is funny at all and is possibly one of the most overrated comedians I think I have ever watched. I watched several of his shows on Comedy Central thinking that perhaps I was overlooking something, but I just came away thinking how very stupid it was.

Nrthwnd Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 George Carlin Forever, man. And Cheech & Chong, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MBoy1982 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Margaret Cho - Love her stories about her mother. Actually got to see her live in Dayton a few years ago. Second row center. Her DVD's are great, but it is much better in person. Gabriel Iglesias - Hysterical. Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, DAAAMN, and Oh hell no. Jeff Dunham and Peanut - NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 ^^Forgot about Cheech & Chong! Also like Rita Rudner, Louis Anderson...and yes, Jerry Seinfeld. He is coming to our hometown in August for the Lucille Ball festival so we picked up tickets to see him at the ice arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGeorge Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Jim Gaffigan - I enjoy the voices he does and how he can create the mini heckler after some of his jokes. Nick Offerman - His ultra American persona always makes me laugh, especially on Parks & Rec. I also forgot about Daniel Tosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I know I will probably get flogged for saying this, but I don't think Jeff Dunham is funny at all and is possibly one of the most overrated comedians I think I have ever watched. I watched several of his shows on Comedy Central thinking that perhaps I was overlooking something, but I just came away thinking how very stupid it was. I absolutely HATE Jeff Dunham. Of the few times that I've been forced to watch him, I just want to strangle that stupid purple puppet. Alright, back to favorites. I'm not sure I can choose just one. So, here's a list (in no particular order): Bill Cosby (had tickets to a now-cancelled show ), Michael Richards, Jon Stewart, Louis CK, Lewis Black, Gallagher (Saw him live; incredible!), Bill Maher (Saw him live, too; amazing!), Robin Williams, George Carlin, and others that I've most certainly forgotten.

Philrad71 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 ^LOL! Funny that I had the same thought about those puppets....in addition to perhaps bum rushing the stage at one of his shows & setting one on fire in front of everyone in the audience. It's much easier (& less of a legal hassle) to just turn the channel when I see him on TV though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Recent posting about Dunham has made me suddenly realize one of The Best Puppet Acts In the Vegas World (and eventual tv) as Wayland Flowers...... And Madame! They were great, she was an almost X rated thing on tv, and I am sure they made it Real Dirty in night clubs and Vegas. A great act. Would've loved to have see them live.
