best comedians out there today

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Who do you think the best comedians are today? I'm really liking Daniel Tosh, Patton Oswalt, Zack Galifinakis.

[Bob Payne]

I agree with all of those. David Cross and Todd Barry are also a couple of my favorites, but they've been at it a lot longer than the comedians you listed.

In before some dummy says Dane Cook.

David Cross is great. Shut Up You Fucking Baby is one of the best comedy albums of all time. I think that's why I like Patton Oswalt is so great, he kinda rips him off but he does it really well.

[TJ Wells]

i don't think patton's stand-up is all that great. he's good though.

maria bamford is great too. pretty much everyone off the comedians of comedy tour. slovin and allen, eugene mirman - all great.

Maria Bamford is really funny. I can't find any cds though. I've never really listened to Eugene Mirman.

I like Mike Birbiglia too, and Louis C.K.'s HBO special isn't bad at all.

Aah, Birbigs. His CD "Two Drink Mike" has me cracking up every time. I love him.

Mind Of Mencia wouldn't be on the air now if it wasn't for Chappelle's Show.

I really wish I could find his "Secret Public Album". The line that gets me everytime on 2DM is the "Well, we already bought the tickets"- Abraham Lincoln.

Yeah, I've got the album that it was on. It's really funny, almost as good as Beyond the Pale.

[snowtires]

cook, mencia

ew. i saw mencia at the joke store a couple of weeks ago, he was so fucking bad. but, amazingly, bobby lee was fifty times worse. at least carlos branched out into other people's jokes, bobby lee was stuck firmly in 'i'm asian!!! i talk about my tiny penis and karate!!! when i'm not getting enough laughs, i take my shirt off and talk about how gross my body is!!!' worst shit ever. this dude (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofi le&friendid=16516565), on the other hand, was fucking hilarious. i can't watch the videos right now since i'm at work, but he was easily the funniest of the night.

[gilatron5000]

Demitri Martin, Ralphie May, Jim Gaffigan, Wanda Sykes, Lisa Lampanelli.

thats pretty pathetic. i like bobby lee on madtv (even tho madtv usually sucks huge monster balls). mencia should be shot.


another awesome comic is the guy in benchwarmers, he was david spades brother. he also has a reoccuring role in reno 911 as the gay rollerskating guy. i think hes in blades of glory too. fuck i cant think of his name.

[Trainsaw]

i was reading the David Cross wiki today and apparently he has a fued w/ Jim Belushi that was hilarious

Cross reportedly has also had a feud with actor Jim Belushi. While filming a movie in which they both appeared, Cross was asked by a woman on-set if he could get Belushi's autograph for her son, who was sick at the time. Cross agreed to, but when he asked Belushi for the autograph, Belushi responded by saying something to the effect of, "God, I thought you were going to get me laid and you're giving me this sick kid shit!".

Cross was disgusted by Belushi's comments and has shared this story with audiences at his stand-up appearances. He's even written satirical short stories on the Mr. Show website about his experiences with "The Belush", his sarcastic nickname for Belushi.

During an appearance of Belushi's blues-cover band, Belushi invited some young female members of the audience to come up and dance with him on stage. Unbeknownst to Belushi, David Cross was in the audience as a joke with his friends and took the opportunity to rush the stage. Cross began to dance in a sarcastic, overly enthusiastic way while Belushi quickly tried to push him off stage. Cross was immediately removed from the concert venue by security as can be seen in a document of the incident on YouTube.

Cross has since given several jabs at Belushi on his animated show, Freak Show. One character, while reading Belushi's autobiography, immediately says, "I guess it IS okay to charge 40 dollars for a crappy blues-cover band.

I don't think he's anywhere near as funny as he used to be, but his first few albums are hilarious. This is all a matter of opinion though. He, like Katt Williams, can make me laugh out loud a lot. So yes, I think he is funny. Different people have different senses of humor though. I love David Cross the actor, but not David Cross the comedian.

[I'm DC]

Bert Kreischer

So funny

[SeanFracture]

Anyone heard Patton's new CD? Only listened to the first track, made me chuckle.

[goodarmcindy]

U-PjyRwfedk

Definitely Dylan Moran, probably my favourite comedian full stop.

Russel Howard is pretty good and Frankie Boyle is fantastic. Going to see Jimmy Carr soon and I am looking forward to that. Gervais can do a decent stand up show as well.

EDIT: I forgot Stewart Lee. That man is a genius

[SeanFracture]

I hate Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle, haha. I really don't like one-liner comedy, which is essentially all Jimmy Carr does, and Frankie Boyle has no craft or style over and above "AHM FUCKIN' SCOTTISH AND AHM FUCKIN' OFFENSIVE". I'm fucking Scottish and I'm fucking offensive, big deal, haha.

Dylan Moran is brilliant though, but Eddie Izzard is my all-time fave.

[goodarmcindy]

"The last time I saw a Scot playing tennis it was during a game of charades and he was trying to find a mime for the word 'homosexual'" - Frankie Boyle, 'nuff said.

[Charles777]

There are too many to name at the moment, but off the top of my head...

David Cross
Louis CK
Chris Rock
Kevin Hart
