Dear Penis is the only country song I’ve ever liked.

Oops, there is another....‘Don’t look now mommas got her boobs out’

Brian Regan is great too.

Steven Wright breaks every comedian rule (pausing too long, mumbling incoherently,etc)

[Freybird]

Emo Philips (old) Esoteric, cerebral, walking the garden style humor.
James Acaster (new)

[Fast Freddy 944]

Eddy Murphy, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Rodney Danger Field, Woody Allen, Steve Martin, Steven Wright, Andrew Dice Clay, Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello, Lewis Black, Lisa Lampanelli, Joan Rivers, Gilbert Gottfried, Jeff Ross. Good mix, I try to laugh at others but they fall flat on the funny scale. The above choices are rib splitters to me..

[L8Brakr]

Robin's take on golf. (NSFW).

[berettafan]

Forgot to mention Kathleen Madigan. Really funny.

Red Skelton

Going old school now.
Milton Berle

He wasn't so funny on 50's TV because of the type of programs produced. But let him free and he was funny.

I certainly agree that Jonathan Winters was truly brilliant, but there was just something about Robin Williams' ability to respond so quickly, and to move from topic to topic in an almost dizzying way.

How about RW being the undisputed best at manic improv commedy?

I'm sorry to say (given his diagnosis) that you are right.

RW=Robin Williams.

(Edit: I did not read dw1's response) Williams was quicker. Winters was sooooo in the same camp. He just didn't do Adderal - lol.

Now, unless I missed it, no one has mentioned Norm MacDonald or Lewis CK.

Or Henny Youngman if going old school.

Quite a list that could be the best at the right place or time.

thought I'd revive with some current favorites (no one is dethroning RW).

Zoltan


Gary Owen


Liz Miele


Nate Jackson


Saaniya (I've only seen shorts)


Jimmy Carr


Natalie Cuomo (pretty sure she's a nutter, but still pretty funny) I've only seen short clips. She also lost it on a heckler


when she lost it

[masraum]

Mark Normand (another crazy one that can be a little dark)


Dan Cummins


Tom Segura (can be a little dark)


Derrick Stroup

[masraum]

Matteo Lane


Kevin Bridges


Nate Bargatze

[masraum]

Matt Rife, Sam Morril (hilarious, anytime he gets invited on a morning show, he says over-the-top stuff to screw with the show), Akaash Singh, Craig Conant (ex drug addict, so that's the source of his stories), Shane Gillis, Steve Trevino, Anthony Rodia, Drew Lynch, Katie Boyle, Andrew Schulz

[masraum]

Michael Blaustein
seems a bit crazy, but usually darn funny.

[dlockhart]

[p911dad]

Jimmy Failla. The guy is hilarious! Saturday night on Fox.
