    DO NOT show your students the golf bit!

    Saw him live from the front row, center table at the base of the stage. It was an awesome set.

    Chris Rock
    Lewis Black
    Robin Williams

    These are probably my top 3

    Going to see Caparulo this weekend at the Funny Bone at Easton
    Kevin James Sweat The Small Stuff was great!

    My all-time favorite is definitely George Carlin. My favorite right now is probably Aziz Ansari.

    Tough. Chappelle and Mitch top 5 for sure. Galifianakis and Steven Wright probably also in there, off the top of my head.

    All time, Robin Williams for me.
    Honorable mention, Eddie Murphy

    Current: Louis CK

    [FONT=&quot]I like Jeff Dunham. His suitcase posse of puppets are awesome (i.e., Walter, Achmed, Sweet Daddy D, etc.)[/FONT]

    Bernie Mac and Patrice O'neal were very funny stand up comedians.

    Thinking the same thing for anyone who says they like Sinbad as a comedian.
  • BRF
    I can understand how some don't like Sinbad.

    But I like him.
  • GOONx19
    I've never even heard of Sinbad.

    He was Arnold's rival in Jingle All the Way. And the teacher in Goodburger.

    Oh, gotcha. I didn't know he did other things.

    Dunham, funny or not, is incredibly talented doing 3 different dummies plus himself all in the same skit.

    I thought his Arguing with Myself had some funny stuff with Walter and also Peanut.

    The funniest performance I have ever seen on Comedy Central was back in the mid 90's by a guy named Jeremy Hotz....he has stuff on YouTube and elsewhere that is sometimes funny but I have yet to find his routine on video.

    I saw sherm do a set last fall at a local beer/comedy fest. It was a short set but he killed it.

    I was always a Steven Wright fan.

    Funniest I've seen in person was Bob Zany.

    This topic always reminds me of the classic meltdown about Carlos Mencia. Fun times.
