ayepatz Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 So who’s the best? As a Scotsman, I am bound, both legally and patriotically, to say Billy Connolly. If pushed to a top 3? 1. Billy Connolly 2. Richard Pryor 3. Bill Hicks Who are your top 3? (Feel free to post links - with the state this world is in, we could all use a good laugh.)
BarryVT Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 No particular order Dave chappelle Eddie Murphy Richard pryor Honorable mention: Rodney Dangerfield 2
Phillys Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Read the title, thought to myself, this is easy... then read the first response and saw my answer! Richard Pryor Eddie Murphy Dave Chapelle Would add: Kevin Hart, George Carlin, Chris Rock and Bill Burr 1
slowsmoke Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Eddie Murphy would have to be in my top 3, for Delirious and Raw, they are masterpieces. Chappelle too. For spot 3, the competition gets a lot more fierce.... 1

Colt45 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 First that came to mind was Robin Williams. Don Rickles. 1
SigloVI Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 1 - George Carlin 2 - Richard Pryor 3 - Eddie Murphy 4
mbflash80 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 When he was in his prime I really enjoyed Dice...his first few albums were truly hilarious... 1) Dice 2) Eddie Murphy 3) Tom Segura there are probably many that are deserving but its not something I really get around to listening to these days 1

Totally forgot about Tom Segura. Dice was great too, let’s be honest. 1
zappaFREAK Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 1. George Carlin 2. Robin Williams/Jonathan Winters 3. Bill Cosby Also rans in no order: Jack Benny Rodney Dangerfield Don Rickles Steve Martin Phillis Diller Andy Kaufman Richard Pryor Buddy Hackett George Burns Milton Berle ’ 1
Diabolicalpherpher Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 This is tough... I'm gonna go with Eddie Murphy Dave Chappelle Dave Attell Too many others to list as honorable mentions.

Cayman17 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I’m surprised by all the votes for Dave Chapelle. His tv show was funny, but as a stand up comedian, He’s not really in my top ten. Chris Rock’s HBO specials were ten times better than anything Chapelle ever did. “Bring the Pain” is a classic that is hilarious from start to finish. No Jim Gaffigan fans? 3

Stump89 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Gotta go with Chappelle also. Tom Segura Richard Pryor Sam Kinison Also will add that I found Louis CK hilarious. Definitely a scumbag though. 1
ayepatz Posted May 14, 2019 Author Posted May 14, 2019 Wake up Australia! The Americans are running amok! ? 1

Definitely a scumbag though. I agree. Louis CK is absolutely one of the funniest. But we’re not allowed to say that anymore.☹️ 4
teewinot Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Mine... Mitch Hedberg Early Eddie Murphy George Carlin 1
SmokyFontaine Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Norm Macdonald, Bill Cosby, Maria Bamford. I've had the good fortune of seeing all three live. Maria Bamford really transcends comedy. What she does borders on hilarious performance art. Honoraries: Mitch Hedberg Zach Galifinakis Steve Martin Robin Williams George Carlin Richard Pryor Bob Newhart Dave Chapelle Steven Wright Really, tons more. With what I suspect is a high number of Aussies on the forum, nobody is going to apologize for that hefty gal who did the stand-up special to announce she wasn't going to do stand-up? Name escapes me at the moment. I found her about as entertaining as a fake Cuban cigar consumed through the anus. We'll apologize for Dane Cook. 1
Colt45 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 By sad coincidence, Tim Conway passed away today - he's right up there. Carol Burnett, Groucho Marx...... 1 hour ago, ayepatz said: Wake up Australia! The Americans are running amok! ? 1 hour ago, ayepatz said: That’s a big list! No non-Americans? Wow! I’m surprised. Always interesting to see how people think / view things..... 1
tigger Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 At the moment, my picks are: 1. Richard Pryor 2. Bill Hicks 3. Steven Wright 1
