100 Greatest Stand-Ups

[omalleytrading]

Comedy Central is running a special this week on the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. They've got their opinions, but I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone here thought.

I'm not going to list 100, but here is my list of the the "greatest".[list=1][*]Rodney Dangerfield - Kills every time. The Master, hands down.[*]Eddie Murphy - Before he was an average actor in kiddie films, he was a hilarious comic.[*]Bill Cosby - Forget the TV show, listen to his old albums. Awesome.[*]Richard Pryor - The stuff he did in the 70's was magic.[*]Eddie Izzard - Watch "Dressed To Kill". Really. Now. Go![*]Bob Hope - The King[*]Don Rickles - He will insult everyone in the room, and they'll all leave laughing.[/list=1]

i love eddie izzard!

eddie murphy in delerious has to be one of the funniest things i have ever heard. Hearing him do micheal jackson and bill cosby cracks me up everytime

i saw Mary Ellen Hooper in March one of the best stand up i have see live

I expect Sam Kinison will be near the top of the list.

Carlin is awesome, he really makes you think. If only he would cut back a little on the swearing

I saw Carlin a couple months ago... Kinda rank, but still absolutely hilarious..

Carlin, Jeff Foxworthy and his whole crew, dave chapelle, jim breuer

[Bovon]

I remember Bud Abbot and Lou Costello

I agree with MadMan2K. I have the video "Robin Williams, live on Broadway."

That, and the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" are the funniest things I`ve ever seen in my life. There are a lot of good comedians, but I don`t@think anything comes close to those.
