I think most people think of Rowan Atkinson as a comic actor rather than a comedian.

He's f'ing hilarious regardless.

I'd like to. He was just a squirrel. Not funny. Ever.

I don't understand the squirrel bit, but Gene Wilder is aslo classic. Very good humor,IMNSHO.

My favorites:

1) Eddie Murphy
2) Dennis Leary
3) Joe Rogan (no fooling, he is unbelievable live)
4) Dave Chapelle
5) Chris Rock
6) Dane Cook
7) Seinfeld
8) Dana Carvey
9) Adam Sandler
10) David Allen Grier

You list upsets me.

Especially Dennis Leary. He basically stole his act from Bill Hicks, IMNSHO.

David Allen Grier... Joe Rogan? Come on!

Of course not, it would have taken up Dana Carvey's spot. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I can't believe Sam Kinison hasn't been mentioned, you Philistines.

My list for standup comedians(in no particular order)
1) Sam Kinison
2) Denis Leary
3) Robert Schimmel
4) Eddie Murphy
5) Richard Pryor

People who should die in a car fire before ever setting foot on stage again-
1) Carrot Top
2) Howie Mandel
3) Gallagher
4) Bob Saget
5) Dat Nguyen

Edited to add- I have heard great things about Bill Hicks, but have somehow never seen his stuff (other than very short clips). I get the feeling he might make my first top 5 if I heard enough of him, though.

Favorites in no particular order:
Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Jerry Seinfeld
John Cleese

Chris Rock
Lewis Black
Sacha Baron Cohen
Stephen Lynch

OK, I lied about the no particular order thing. The first group are all time classics, and the 2nd group is current favorites.

Mitch Hedberg, and it isn't even close.

Has anyone seen Seinfeld's last couple of shows? They're nothing but old stuff recycled from either the show, or pre-show days. With like maybe one or two new bits thrown in.

Chris Rock just annoys the hell out of me. I'm not sure why. Something about his voice. With that said, what he says is funny as [censored]. And whenever I read it or hear someone else say it, it slays me.
