Favorite Stand Up Comedian

Because he's unfunny; he relies on shock value and tired race jokes over and over and over, rather than coming up with something uniquely funny or witty. Also, he's not really Mexican, and his first name isn't actually Carlos, yet his premise largely depends on him being extremely Mexican.
Dane Cook is overrated IMHO, and Carlos Mencia is laughable in the fact of how stupid and untalented he happens to be.

thank you very much, I appreciate the prompt answers and can clearly see where you're coming from.
I also like Jim Gaffigan, Jon Stewart, Ron White, Demetri Martin, and Jeff Dunham.

My favorite stand-up comedian will always be Ellen DeGeneres. I have never seen a woman (or a man for that matter) that can make me laugh like her.

Oh, I forgot about her. I feel like she may have lost a little of her comedic flair in recent years (she's really more of a talk show host than she is a comedienne now), but she had me in stitches on one of her stand-up specials a few years ago (I think it was on HBO, and she still had somewhat long-ish hair. Longer than it is now anyway. She mentioned a "pickle claw").

Where funny then they got unoriginal, it also doesn't help they steal jokes, I for one prefer the older acts of Dane Cook, they may have been ripped off but his actions just made it work.
Demetri Martin: isn't that funny, he relies on props to be funny. The props just aren't even that funny to begin with.
People must have dry humor now a days or something.
anyway my favorites.

The other day I watched this one guy named Dat Phan. Most of his humor was surrounded around asian culture because he's korean. He is real funny. He won the first Last Comic Standing I think.

Dane Cook is my all time favorite. Hard to pick a favorite joke. . . Favorite bits are the "First Date at the Movies" one and the "First Job at Burger King."

George Carlin is dead. I'd suggest a moment of silence, except by his own words, he'd be against it.

Bob Nelson: He does a lot of bits with props and stuff with his voice that's too long to post. YouTube him. It's worth it.
Demetri Martin: If you're a battery, you're either working or you're dead. That's a **** life.

I have to say george carlin, not only because the man is a genius, he is the father of comedy as we know it today. because of the seven words you'll never hear on T.V.. he brought up a first amendment case that allows all the comedians to do their stand up acts the way they want to them be done to this day. That's the reason he is my favorite, but in general i enjoy all stand up comedians.

@ Carlos Mencia: *Face Palm* He isn't funny.
Dave Chappelle is one the most talented comedians ever! He created so many memorable skits such as "A moment in the life of Lil' John" WHAT? HUH? YEAH!!

Dane Cook was my fav, but he has just continuously gotten worse and worse it seems. He's like abusing his fame with the crappy movies he puts out and his stand up routine I saw live was heavily story and sexually oriented. Granted, Dane is the mastah at jokes like that...but he's kind of used it too much in my opinion. He's always had the dirty side, but it wasn't the main focus of his jokes. Now it seems you can't go through one routine without there being something provocative...and that wasn't the way Dane rolled. He didn't need to. He was just Dane cook the silly b****
but anyway, definitely demetri martin right now.
rock, paper, scissors...never got that. rock smashes scissors....scissors are destroyed can't do anything. Scissors cut paper...paper is in a million pieces...police are cleaning this up for weeks. Paper covers rock.........ROCK IS FINE! No structural damage to rock! Paper sucks!!!! It should be Rock, dynamite with a cuttable wick, scissors.

Has anyone here been watching Last Comic Standing recently? I couldn't believe they booted God's Pottery. Those guys were awesome. Especially during the Yo Momma fight.

George Carlin, by far. A few months ago I decided to watch pretty much every video of him on YouTube that I could find.Then I read all his books, and right after I finished reading them, he died. : ( This man is a legend, and I'm shocked at the small amount of Carlin <3 in this thread.
I've watched quite a bit of stand-up, but I've forgotten most of the names, cause it's been a long time. -_- I've always been a HUGE fan of Monty Python though. Seriously, my dad introduced me to it when I was like, 6 years old, and it's completely warped my mind. XD British humour ftw

Is anyone watching Last comic standing right now. I am so ticked off that the two finalists are iliza and marcus. I mean there funny but Sean, Jim, Jeff and Louis were much funnier. And God's Pottery was much more intuitive and creative. I think marcus is the better of the two and he's pretty funny. It's just that out of anyone in the finals that should've been kicked off was Iliza. All of her jokes are about the same things over and over again and it's not a funny subject. Well at least Joel Mcchale was on the finale, he was probably the best part of the show tonight.
