I'm watching Tourgasm right now with Dane Cook and I thought I'd ask who everyone's favorite comedians were. Some of my favorites:
Dane Cook
Mitch Hedberg
Lewis Black
Gabriel Iglesius
Pablo Francisco
There are others I can' think of right now.

In addition to Dane Cook and Mitch Hedberg, I'd have to say I love Patton Oswalt's standup. He's so strange, but I love it.

Brian Regan
I also like Dennis Miller even though everybody else seems to hate him. I am one of the few who enjoyed him on MNF.

The guy REALLY irritated me (Still does) and so, logically, I found him fascinating.

Dad is great! Eaten our chocolate cake!
That entire video is great.
Especially his bit about throwing up and putting your head against the toilet bowl to cool it off.

Patton Oswald and Brian Regan are both great. Cosby's a legend. Dennis Miller's standup is awesome. I pretty much like everyone in this thread.

man, you guys got me looking this guy up for a show. He'll be in Richmond in November. I hope he has some new material but even so, all of this stuff still makes me laugh.

It's funny because you can tell Miller knows his jokes and is setting him up.

apologies to Kevin Pollack who just might be the best impressionist of your time and Dave Chappelle. I don't know how I left them off my list. I like Brian Regan too. Surprised no one mentioned the you might be a red kneck guy. Can't think of his name now but I don't think he is that funny.

Ron White is, though.
Then again, I'm amused by dunken pigs sucking down scotch on the rocks and being belligerent.
oh- LUconn just reminded me of another fav of mine: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

I can't believe I forgot Steven Lynch! Believe it or not, he's been nominated for a Tony playing the lead in "The Wedding Singer: the Musical".
And, no, I'm not making that up.

I haven't heard Lynch's new stuff yet. I love him. When and where is he playing close by?
Dana Carvey is awesome too.
