I have to admit, I've always liked the more crass comedians.

Sam Kinison (RIP)
Richard Pryor (RIP)
Redd Foxx (RIP)
Eddie Murphy (still alive)
Buddy Hacket (RIP)

I'm seeing a trend here.

And some not so crass ones.

George Carlin (RIP)
Steven Wright

Geez... Where do I start... I used to LOVE watching standup shows...

Tim Allen, Jim Gaffigan, Louis CK, Mike Berbiglia, Jimmy Norton, etc etc etc...

My favorite from days gone by was a guy named Rick Schydner (sp?)... He did a bit about being a "Canyon Man".. Loved that...

Randy and Jason Sklar, Patton Oswald, Louis CK, and Jim Gaffigan are my favorite current comics.

I still love Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, and Don Rickles.

Carlin is my favorite. I think he had important things to say, in addition to being the funniest comedian I've ever seen. Here's one of my favorite bits of social commentary he did condensed to a single image: Carlin regarding corporate America

I also like Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, and others I'm probably forgetting.
