My favorite comedian of all time would have to be Mitch Hedberg because of his almost too obvious observations about life. One of his jokes went like..."Rice is great when you're hungry and want 2,000 of something" and another one went like..."tap dancing must drive people who understand Morse code crazy." Sadly Hedberg passed away in 2005 at the age of 37. Truly a great loss...

Mr. Potato Head....okay...Don Rickles. He plays a great Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story. His stand up routine is classic. He's been around for ages and will be around for years to come. It's clean standup....a few bad words here and there, but it's not nasty. It's funny.

My favorite comic would have to be Sam Kinison...healways spoke his mind, and his trademrk scream was classic. I cried the day I learned he had been killed by a drunk driver.

Jeff Dunham

Why? Well he's the only stand-up comedian I've actually watched a full show from. I only watch small clips from other people. That's why I want this DVD, so I can get more insight on stand-up comedy!

Actually I have two...first and foremost is Bill Cosby. He has been making me laugh since I can remember. My mom had a couple of his albums (as in records) and I still have them. He is one of the few real comedians that you can let your kids watch. He appeals to people of all ages and he never had to resort to foul language and sex jokes to be funny. I still cant help saying "smoke smoke smoke" to my dentist hehehee. LOL she got the joke the first time and snickered for awhile each time she tried to work (maybe it wasnt such a good idea).

I am also a big Howie fan from early on...loved the Bobby jokes.

My vote goes out to Jeremy Piven as my favorite comedian. He has the ability to play a wide range of roles, and no matter what he does, he makes me smile. From Rudy to Entourage, I'll always root for Jeremy.

Who is your favorite standup comedian and why?

Oh man there are so many great ones to pick from but if i had to pick i would pick Bill Engval. That man can make me laugh on my darkest of days and i can watch his stand ups over and over again. My favorite part of his stand ups are the Here's your sign! HAHAHAA Just thinking about it makes me want to go home and pop in the DVD. He has great facial expressions and great story telling ability and he dosen't try to hard he just tells it like it is and that is what i like most about him.

I gotta choose Billy Connolly for the sheer greatness his harsh scottish accent adds to every joke he tells. Plus his jokes are up front and to the point things, which are funny. He's great.

graffd02 · 03-27-2008, 05:17 AM

I would have to say that George Carlin is my favorite comedian. The fact that he is still relavant and keeps reinventing himself and keeping everything funny makes him the best comedian to ever live. He will ALWAYS be funny.
