Bill Hicks. Decidedly not for everybody. Not even remotely "clean," but with purpose and meaning. He doesn't make me laugh as much or as hard as some others, but I'd rather listen/watch Hicks than almost anybody else. I really like Daniel Tosh. He studied a lot of Bill Hicks (his [former?] manager was Hicks' manager, as well, so he had access to tons of material) and it shows in his style. Not his content, so much, but that may not be a bad thing. If you haven't heard Mitch Hedberg that would be the first guy I pick stuff up from. Incredibly funny, though probably not for everybody. George Carlin may be dead, and some of his stuff may be almost 40 years old, but he's still maybe the best ever to do the thing. AM and FM is still hilarious, and the audio portions of his HBO specials are still awesome, even without the visuals. His audiobook versions of Brain Droppings and Napalm and Silly Putty are pretty good, as well. If I had to listen to only one comedian for the rest of my life, it'd be Carlin, no considering required. I like Bill Cosby's old stuff. Seriously. Dude was funny before he got his own show. Bo Burnham really makes me laugh. Lots of people probably hate him, I dunno, but I love word play and I like the way he structures things. Maria Bamford is pretty funny. Very quirky, but the routines feel pretty normal (in a good way). Gabriel Iglesias. Goddamn this guy is funny. Richard Pryor/Chris Rock. Grouping them together, because I think they're similar. And not just in the immediate ways. I think both had the ability to be unparalleled in their craft, if they hadn't parlayed their success into the more lucrative Hollywood work. Pryor is still considered a god, obviously, but, as much as I love Carlin (a whole lotta buncha), I think Pryor had the ability to put himself so far above everybody that comparison would be nigh impossible. I'm not sure Rock had that ability, but he could have definitely been close, I think. All the acting, I feel, has kept his stand-up from truly moving anywhere from where he was 10 years ago. Granted, that's still a hilarious and smart place, but it's no longer ground breaking or new. Rock is still one of the best in the business, but he's in the pack, not leading it now. | ||

A thousand times yes. Also someone mentioned Ricky Gervais. He has got to be one of the funniest people I have ever heard. His series "A Ricky Gervais guide to "X" is just awesome. There is about 6 or 7 of them to my knowledge. | ||
