Favorite Stand-Up Comedian

[SlammedZero]

I'm torn between George Carlin and Dave Chappelle. Carlin was funny but he also was such a great philosopher. He fused the two together to make an interestingly hilarious act. See he is high on my list.

With that said, Dave Chappelle's Killing Them Softly comedy special has to be my favorite of all time. It still makes me laugh 18 years later. Plus, my friends and I came away with so many inside joke one-liners from that we have used over the years. Chappelle is also really good at taking a joke from the beginning of his set and injecting it into the end of his act. It's a great way to close a show IMO.

I know any favorite topic is extremely subjective, however, I think it is fun to discuss and see everybody else's opinion.

Who is your favorite?

Lavell Crawford and Bernie Mac for sure. I can't think of the rest right now. It's a sort of love/hate thing with comics.

I haven't seen Bill Hicks or Patrice O'Neal mentioned yet. Or Louie. That one's surprising.

Gotta add Redd Foxx to the mix.

Am I really the only one who thinks George Carlin is overrated? He's okay sometimes, but mostly he just says ordinary stuff in a strange voice.
