OT - best stand up comedy you've seen?

[amynhop]

Has anyone seen James Gregory? I think he's hilarious.

Standup comedy is one of my favorite genres. But it usually depends on what you like to most people. For instance, if you enjoy Dane Cook regularly, stop reading here. Here's a list of some of my favorites:

Kings of comedy... Honestly, one of my top five "movies" regardless of genre. This includes Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac, and DL Hughley. They are all also great individually but this complete set was a masterpiece.

Kevin Hart... Prob the hottest guy out there right now. Saw him at LJ and almost split a gut.

Jamie Foxx... I may need security. His others aren't on this level, but this one has stood the test of time for me and the wifey.

Patrice oneal... My favorite. YouTube has his skit from Def Jam that, while vulgar, is a foolproof test of someone's sense of humor.

Chris Rock... All are funny but the older stuff is best.

Kat Williams... Almost forgot him. Funny little dude.

Eddie Murphy... Before he sold out, he was probably the funniest man in America.

Richard Prior... The godfather.

Bill burr... Funniest white man in America. No racist.

Aziz... Funniest brown man from SC in America. Some racist.

Bill Cosby had a good couple of features that are still around.

Red Fox was hilarious but hard to find his stuff.

Nick Swardson... Somebody farted (or something like that). Hilarious!

Daniel Tosh... Very funny dude. Have to pay attention hard and have a sick sense of humor at times.

Bruce Bruce... Another favorite. Keeps it relatively clean compared to some others.

J Anthony Brown... Funny as hell but cusses a lot. A lot.

Robin Harris... One not many people know of but the piccolo player skit is hilarious. Many others. Also cusses a lot.

Jim Gaffigan... Very funny white guy. Can get corny at times, but a riot at others.

Last but not least, Louis CK... Just a hilarious dude. Morbid at times lol but hilarious. 2nd funniest white guy iyam.


I'm sure I forgot a few, but these are most of "my guys". I went and saw Amy Shumer in Greenville. She sucks. So, no girls make the list. Sorry @amynhop .

Jamie Foxx bit about meeting Prince still cracks me up.

Add Rodney Carrington to the list. "Maybe I'm a bad mother****er and I didn't even know it!"

 

[Oatmeal1919]

James Gregory comes to mind first

 

[shortbus22]

Jamie Foxx bit about meeting Prince still cracks me up.

Yeah I looked him in the eyes once.

What happened?

I been ****ing him for two years!

 

[CSRA.Tiger]

But she can really sing the National Anthem beautifully.

Lol....yeah. This is where you and I will agree definitely.

That was some bullsh1t.....

Saw Rodney Carrington live in a small comedy club in Charlotte way before he ever became famous. He was fawking hilarious.
My wife nearly went into premature labor from laughing so hard.

 

[1962tiger]

Sam Freaking Kinison offically made me laugh harder than I have laughed before or since when he did this routine about a guy who got busted for necrophilia in a morgue- look it up if its out there . Weird topic I know but it "killed" lol.

 

[jimbob1019]

I was wondering why it took so long to mention Rodney Carrington...that guy is frickin' hilarious!

Jerry Seinfeld just knows how to connect with his audience...he's really Good!

Chris Rock is just real...knows how to be truthful & offensive at the same time...awesome!

Ron White just seems to think like me....again, hilarious!

 

[ClemsonSquirrel]

Not sure how I forgot the legend Bill Hicks!

Anyone know why 5 different OT threads were just sent to the round table? None are political.

 

[CSRA.Tiger]

Anyone know why 5 different OT threads were just sent to the round table? None are political.

It's prolly your fault, Amy. THANKS.

 

[amynhop]

It's prolly your fault, Amy. THANKS.

I just asked you the question in another thread. Haha

 

[amynhop]

@TigerJBM why are all these threads going to RT? Any ideas?

 

[tigersrule#]

If so inclined would appreciate thoughts - been looking for something good to watch on that front- true standup not sketchetc.... Still quite a lot to choose from. I have to go with Chris Rock - Just because my era, his longevity/relevance, and the fact he was so ridiculously true on a ride range of real life style issues. Thoughts?

Jim Norton

 

[OrangeTigerTower]

Jay Hickman is another great one...but he's gone

 

[Chief_Dale14]

Stumbled across Sebastian Maniscalco on Netflix and couldn't stop laughing. I've never seen any of his other stuff but his special "Aren't You Embarrassed" on Netflix is worth your time.

 

[Lot4tiger]

Most of my favorites have already been listed. Louis CK, Jim Gaffigan, Kevin Hart. Surprised no mention of Patton Oswalt.
