How could I forget the little waster Bobby Thomson

**xsivforce** · March 20th, 2005

George Carlin <--going to see him live next month!
Richard Pryor
Paul Rodriguez
Ron White

*FuNkIfY~Yo~LiFe* · March 21st, 2005

there are SOOO many...but I'll name a few of my favorites, who I believe are the most original and hilarious. Richard Preyer, Jerry Seinfeld, Dane Cook, George Carlon, *Lenny Bruce* (IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF HIM, CHECK HIM OUT!!!), Jay Moore, Bill Cosby, Chris rock, Dave Chapelle, Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman, Dennis Leary, Sinbad, Jim Breuer...like I said, there are way too many, but these are probably my favorites...as you can see, there are no woman on my list

**Admiral Michael** · March 21st, 2005

George Carlin <-- Saw him live, have a good time xsivforce
Robin Williams <-- Love his Live on Broadway video.

Dane Cook

His flash website plays some of his skits in the background.

**FishBoy** · March 21st, 2005

Lenny Bruce

If we are sticking with "is" then I'll go with -

Billy Connelly

And we need soem for teh ladies, so how about Jo Brandt? And did anyone else here know she was a mental health nurse before a commedienne? Anyone know if any other comedians had "day jobs" before?

Pablo Fransisco is pretty good!

**ThePatriot** · March 21st, 2005

Wow, lots of great names in this thread! I just saw the Blue-Collar comedy Tour on Comedy Central last nite...Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White. Freakin hilarious...even better when you're NOT from the south!

Falconguard mentioned Bill Cosby, and he's exactly right...I thought he was ok when I was young and single...but a few years and a few kids later...he's unbelievably profound!

**Geffy** · March 21st, 2005

Eddie Izzard
Phil Jupitus
Mitch Hedberg
Bill Bailey
Dylan Moran
Jeremy Hardy

so on and so forth

** Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night ive been hugging my pillow

Show me the way to Amarillo
Ive been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me **

**dreamliner77** · March 26th, 2005
