I fucking love Bill Burr.

And Belisarius- Maria Bamford is great. She's so off-kilter.

Oh, and Jim Gaffigan.

John Oliver-Terrifying Times

 

[RedLeader]

Ricky Gervais. Start with Animals, then watch Politics, then Fame. (I actually watched his comedy series, The Office, before I ever watched his stand up. He was a comedy writer before he ever did stand up. Animals was his first ever stand up gig).

Yes. I really like his bit on Humpty-Dumpty. Good stuff!

[Pusswhip Banggang]

Zach Galifianakis
Brian Posehn
Bill Hicks
Mitch Hedberg
Norm MacDonald
Greg Giraldo
Christopher Morris
Tim Heidecker(like MacDonald trolls the audience)
Anything from the Mighty Boosh or Tim and Eric
Upright Citizens Brigade, Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall, etc...

But I'd avoid Dane Cook, Dennis Leary, Tosh, and other unfunny people who either steal ideas or just lift complete acts.

 

[Keaton]

^Tosh actually isnt that bad
i certainly wouldnt group him in with the likes of Dane Cook and Dennis Leary....

 

[HoneyRoastedPeanut]

Yeah I love Tosh too; Cook and Leary are garbage.

 

[Max Power]

Tosh is unfunny, imo.

 

[tribal girl]

Chris Rock
Dave Chapelle

Yes, yes.

Sarah Silverman

No.

Ricky Gervais

No.

 

[Cyc]

I'll take subtle and quirky over loud and preachy any day.

Mitch Hedberg's thanks-and-good-bye at the end of his CC special is so sad. Not often the closing lines of a stand-up show make me wanna cry.
