Favorite stand-up comedy routines

[The Fatman]

I'm loving all the Kinison I'm seeing here. He isn't my all time favorite, but I do think he had the best delivery of all time.

Here's one my wife reminded me of, from a comic I actually can't stand. Dane Cook's "Evil Speak & Spell".

Kevin Pollack did a great Star Trek routine.

That's some funny stuff!

 

[Reverend]

Let's see...
Michael McIntyre "Man Draw", Izzard's "Flags & tea and cake or death" and Bill Bailey....well, everything in Part Troll really.
And while it's not exactly stand up, "What time is it eccles" is an old, but favourite comedy routine.

 

[M'Sharak]

George Carlin's "Indian Sergeants" routine

Lenny Bruce's "Thank you, Masked Man" (originally a stand-up routine, but later an animated short was built around it.)

Jeff Marder's "Comedy for both hemispheres of the brain," performed at two microphones standing several feet apart.

A&C Whos on first? A classic that has me laughing every time.

MeanJoePhaser Robin Harris was THE MAN! I still have a tape of him that I listen to occasionally. WE DONT DIE WE MULTIPLY!

I loved pretty much anything from Bernie Mac. My favorite was when he did a routine during the Kings of Comedy tour and he explained how the word MotherFer was an integral part of the black language. When I am on youtube I always check it out for a laugh.

I also gotta give a shout out to Estelle Givens. She did a Def Comedy Jam special that I still will start crying from laughing to hard to this day. It went pretty much like this: When describing her having big lips and having oral sex with a man with a tiny weeter, she said that would be like giving a whale a tic tac.

History can be funny. Even when its wrong.

I just watched several Izzard shorts on Youtube and that guy is hilarious!



Thanks.

 

[Kirkman1987]

I would say Carlin's seven dirty words or Eddie Izzard's take on British vs. U.S. movies

 

[Bob The Skutter]

I'd say pretty much anything Frankie Boyle comes out with is a classic. Full shows of Jimmy Carr, I'd find it hard to just pick out sections, and probably any of the historical Eddie Izzard bits would be up there.

Well, I'm still waiting for the cities to rise up on their hydraulic legs and go to war with each other for the last few resources on this dying planet!

I have to agree about Bill Bailey and "what time is it, Eccles?" BB is very funny and a great muso. His alternative antional anthme had me in stitches, first time i saw it.

He doesn't get much space here, I see, but I quite like Dennis Leary. I heard an audio of 'Lock and Load' (the show) that had me crying with laughter because I knew exactly what he was talkng about (it was a not-good time in my life).

And for the Aussies... Austen Tayshus. For non-Aussies, he's punning on Australian idioms, plants, animals and place names. Very funny if you know them:
