Favorite Stand-Up Comedians

Who are some of your favorite stand-up comedians?

Who are some of your least favorite comedians, and why?

I can't say that I have a favorite, there are just too many good ones to name. There is only one that I can't stand-Andrew Dice Clay, all the times that I have heard him I have never even cracked a smile. For those that have never heard him, you're lucky, he is just too sick, obsecene, and degrading to women.

For those of you that love stand-up comedy (or any kind of music), you should look into getting Sirius or XM sattelite radio. I have Sirius and I absoutly love it, I can't stand to listen to regular radio now.

Ron "Tater Salad" White.


He's got some new material coming out soon, I'm hoping to see one of his shows in February.

Favorites: Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Sam Kinneson, Dennis Leary, Ron White, Larry the Cable Guy. Why, cause when I watch any of them, I'm laughing so hard I almost have an accident.

Least favorite: Emo Phillips, because like a huge black hole, he just sucks up all light and life around him.

Favorite: Mitch Hedburg, and the blue collar guys of course

Least favorite: any comedian whose whole act is just them trying to be offensive-funny. you know, when they're going for the shock effect. I mean, I love most "offensive" jokes, but when they base their whole act on "speaking their mind" it just gets old.

lets see where to start... Sam Kinison, Joe Rogan, Ralphie May, Carlos Mencia, Pablo Francisco, Robert Schimmel, David Cross, Dave Attel, Doug Stanhope and Stephen Lynch. THere are more to be mentioned. I don't care for ADC as he hasn't had any new material in twenty years. Ron White is funnyBUT he is more or less been using the same jokes for 15 years. At least he has refined it to being better than the original material. Dirty, clean whatever the material or type of humor bring it on

Blue collar group and Frank Caliendo. Frank does the voices of John Madden and a bunch of other people. Very funny to listen to. Every Friday a local radio station has Louie Anderson sit in. Also very funny.

Lisa Lampanelli. I saw her in Sacramento once and she had every single person slouching in their chair hoping to not be noticed and heckled. OMG. She made fun of you if you were white, black, hispanic, oriental, dress well (homosexual), it didn't matter, she would ruthlessly go after you. If you liked Dice Clay then you'll love her. If you didn't, then well she's probably the nastiest beoch you would ever hear in you life.
