Top 10 Funniest Stand-up Comedians

The best stand up comedy I've ever seen was red white and brown. I just laughed through out the damn show.

He is Awesome... Comedian I ever seen, I used to watch all his comedy shows and I recommend people to watch it. I love his accent of all different nationalities. In simple... I love him.

There is lots of funny people but if I had to pick 1 it would be R.P.

Friend of my mine introduced him to me couple of years ago. Since then, he's my favorite. Very observant and analytical to the bone. His material is educative and stimulates logical thinking. Worth watching again and again.

I have to agree that carlin is the best of the best... he not only jokes but he's serious about what he saying and makes perfect sense and what he says is fact..

This guy has to be the best stand-up comedian ever! I am not American, not even a native English speaker, but I read 2 of his books, and I Know all his specials!

he's so good, he doesn't even need to swear to make you laugh

danajs24

The Master of Comedy, He changed the Comedy world and took it to a new level!

I don't think people who have not seen jerry's work should vote in here... It'll be a big mistake... he is the best... ever!

+47Never seen the Chapelle Show, so this is just based on his stand up gigs.

I think he's hilarious and it's so refreshing to see a black comic that doesn't just base 100% of their jokes on those boring "black people this white people that" nonsense he's got the right balance and I love the voice he puts on when he's pretending to be one of his white friends

+43His white accent is the best, hands down one of the best stand up comedians in history.

+39FUNNIEST GUY EVER! I love it when he switches from his real voice to a white mans voice. BRILLIANT!

Mike Ward is my favorite humorist. His jokes, always stinging, are in contrast with his personality. Mike is a very human and empathetic person.

Nasty stand up, great sense of improvisation. Maybe the best ever seen. Happy to have him in quebec. Vote for him. Going to see an amazing show 29 june 2011

Mike you are the best. My husband and I are gonna see you on April 12, at the St-Denis. Can't wait! I bought tickets for his Christmas gift!

JEEZ TIMMY! Don't FLOAT ABOVE ME WHILE I'm DYING IN THE ABYSS! Uh john your son over here just tried to kill me in your pool, yeah that's right float away from me float away..

Hilarious
I love this guy he has the funniest jokes and a positive attitude to making them. Like I said before, hilarious

Dane Cook is super-duperly funny. Love the Atheist Sneeze joke.

"HA HA HA, I AM WINDEXTOR! "

he amazes me with his punchlines and the energy he has on stage. Very funny man

when Katt give you something to laugh about. He really makes you cry for the good of laughter's tears.

He may cuss a little too much sometimes but other than that this guy is freaking hilarious
This right here it's kryptocronokunnalite

+30Funniest guy I have ever seen! There are a lot of people in russia who likes his jokes
Wait for him in Moscow

+27funniest guy I've ever seen he has a lot of fans in Bulgaria, we wait him here.

+27Chris rock he's the best, he sets up his jokes very well and he makes sense

+39On MJ's death - a doctor said: "Taking propofol to sleep is like taking chemotherapy because you're tired of shaving your head! "

+31hands down the best at ad lib quickest thinking comedian ever

+15No script needed, Williams is quick on his feet and sure to get a laugh. Incredibly in tune with the human condition. Love this guy!

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it. "

"I got a business card, cause I wanna win some lunches. That's what my business card says: "Mitch Hedberg, Potential Lunch Winner. "

"I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. It's like, "dude, you have to wait. "

Saw him and feel in love with his humor. Sadly I also found out that he had died. What he would have offered would of been priceless.

This product that was on T.V. was available for four easy payments of $19.95. I would like a product that was available for three easy payments and one complicated payment. We can't tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is going to be hard.

I think a a lot of younger people voted on this list. richard pryor is by far one of the funniest people to grace this earth. Its a shame he's so far down, let alone on the contenders list.

Richard Pryor is the measuring stick of all comedians.. He was the best.. and always will be

EVERYONE over the age of 40 knows that Pryor was the king. Ask any of the comedians on this list (the ones still living I mean) and they will tell you he was GOD!

I gave my cat a bath the other day... They love it. He sat there, he enjoyed it, it was fun for me. The fur would stick to my tongue, but other than that...

Funny and compassionate! Watch "the jerk" if you really want to laugh.

He's alright, I thought it be better but it was ok. Enjoyed it once I got his humor. Love his imitations.

Clearly number 1. I've never laughed so hard in my life before listening to Hilarious. (His latest stand-up performance)

I watch his show every week, he has me on the floor laughing every time I see his stand up, especially his special 'Hilarious'

The best out there today by a long shot. Not only does he speak so many true statements about everyday life that people never think about until they hear it but he makes it absolutely hilarious! To me he is so much funnier than Dane Cook could ever hope to be and I believe he rivals the greats of Robin Williams and George Carlin. If he continues to come out with more stuff as good or funnier than what he has out right now, I believe that he will go down as the best comedian of all time.

Intellectually funny, relatable, European transvestite. LOVE HIM. He makes sure to have a joke for everyone, and bridges cultural gaps. His self referential "writing on the hand" bits are awesome.

I'll take the cold fish heads Love Eddie Izzard!

Obvious some never heard of him and don't know this "executive transvestite" funny jokes

Funniest clean comedian on this planet. Love his facial expressions too.

Put it all in a squeeze bottle! Can life get better? I submit that it can not!
Brian Regan is the best comedian ever! I have heard most of his specials already. They still make me laugh when I listen to them every once in a while.
-Back seat, middle, me feet on the hump!
-One thing led to another...
-What are we playing that pyramid game? Ouch, excruciating, I'd rather have shards of glass in my lungs. How do I convey this to you?
-Is there ANY WAY I could have a glass of water?
-Something about a owl or a dish...

Best comedian ever. I before e except after c besides when by A in a neighboring way excluding weekends and holidays and all through out may and always be wrong no matter what you say

Daniel Tosh is thoroughly funny. He has no limits, no boundaries he wont push. He isn't afraid of making the crowd gasp, in fact, I think he enjoys it. He is "HILARIOUS, " if Louis C. K doesn't mind my use of the word. I enjoy his show "Tosh.0", but for the REAL DEAL you have to check out his hour special, "Completely Serious". He's a comic genius.
"My girlfriend is Korean... For this joke. "

Should be #1 or at least #2, He is the best comedian I've ever seen and I've seen all of these people. Plus he has a top rated show Tosh.0 and is becoming a household name.

Just saying, If you want to laugh, Daniel Tosh is the way to go.
P. S. Why is Dane Cook even on this list?

he's like Dane Cook, if Dane Cook actually told jokes.

+16Amazing person, he and George Carlin were the only ones really able to make us laugh.

+14The best social critic of all time and fall over pee yourself a little funny, but only to smart people. He was too honest and real to reach the mainstream in the pre-internet 80's-early 90's. For a man who died at just 32, he left a large body of intellectually mature work, and some great jokes.

+1215! Yes, Bill Hicks is the greatest comedian ever times 15! Every year his new stuff is excellent, and surprising. His popularity will grow until his work is no longer comedy, but instead will become the old incredible anecdotes of how idiotic the world used to be. He is not your typical clinically dead for 18 years comedian. They should wire his grave marker with an LED scrolling screen so with the right diving rods employed we could get some more great material. His attitude would no doubt be intact from that stage. AND there's precedent for the work of great dead talent... -> Keith Richards... KEITH!

I'm watching him right now and I can barely type this because I'm laughing so dang much!

He is so funny... I love his jokes he should be on the top.. And for the record he's not fat he's FLUFFY!

"rink diet soda now, so you can have regular cake later"

I admit that I've only seen one of Jeff Dunham's specials but it was hilarious. Unlike many of the other comedians listed here he is capable of being funny without being vulgar and using f-bombs and other such words as the main source of humour. The only comedian that I know of that was better than Jeff Dunham in this respect was Red Skelton who unfortunately is not in this list.

best ever love his puppets and special peanut and walter he is the gretest ever done stand up

Jeff Dunham most indefinitely has a knack at comedy. On just his facial expressions alone, someone would laugh. His jokes are so priceless, that our family has inside jokes based on some of his improvisation. It's something that one can enjoy over and over, which is a rarity in itself.

How can this guy not be better then Chris Rock! Chris started out because of him. nuff said

When we talk about his stand-up comedy... it is enough to say: WATCH "DELIRIOUS" AND "RAW" So funny!

He has always been my favorite, especially when he played in "COMING TO AMERICA" I have always loved Eddie Murphy, he will always be one of my all time favorites. Great job Eddie Murphy and keep up the good work!

By far and away the BEST comedian alive today. He continually sells out arenas in the uk which is not something many comedians can do. And instead of getting big headed he remains with his feet firmly on the ground and head screwed on. My face and sides hurt from laughing too much last time I saw him. Just amazing! He always rounds off with a relevant and very well performed song which tops off the unique atmosphere created by this legend!

Absolutely hilarious...! Should be in top ten comfortably! Brilliant comedian

Best comedian ever should definitely be in the top ten if not 1st put it this way if he was american hed be a lot higher on the list

He's the funniest guy ever. You 'll die laughing if you see his concerts. The best and funniest stand-up comedy ever! Promise. Download some of his movies and watch the whole thing without stopping cause his jokes are interconnected. I couldn't stop laughing when I went to his concert. He is the best for sure!

He is one of my FAVORITE comedians today! This guy has a way of telling a story that can make a situation that's happened to nearly all of us, seem like the most hilarious thing you've ever heard. Nearly all of his material is on things that everyone can relate with. I LOVE THIS GUY!

I've seen all three of his specials and saw the last one live. Funniest guy ever! Everything is funny; his facial expressions, impersonations and jokes are the best! Check him out if you haven't yet!

Jim is funny to people of all ages. He doesn't rely upon cursing or other typical comic methods. He takes ordinary topics and makes them funny. Even my five year old was laughing at old videos of his Hot Pocket routine. I first heard Jim on the radio and thought he was great. His second voice, which operates as if an audience member is making commentary on his act, while maintaing the flow of his routine, is genius.

His voices create excellent imagery - a sense required to enjoy true quality

So good, one of the best of all time. I think Gaffigan is amazing and needs more air time all over the world. At this point I'm just typing to make this little bar go farther. END

Why is isn't this genius in the top 10!? He's undoubtedly the best comedian I've ever seen or heard

This needs to be in the top 1 then Jerry Sienfeld Ricky is the best comedian ever watch his youtube video RICKY GERVAIS OUT OF ENGLAND and RICKY GERVAIS TAKES BACK HIS EMMY so funny.

Ricky Gervais is pure comic genius! He touches topics people wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, he does this not only in his stand ups and T.V. shows but in his podcast program as well.

+8I used to play sports. But then I found out you can buy trophies. Now I'm good at everything...

jbar62

+6I like parties, but I don't like pinatas... Because the pinata promotes violence against flamboyant animals: 'Hey, there's a donkey with some pizazz... Let's kick his a'.

+2If I ever saw a amputee being hanged I would just starting yelling out letters.

If it weren't for my horse, I never would have spent that year in college.

Listen to Lewis Black every night falling asleep - I find something exceptionally calming about his caustic, but down-to-earth jokes. I've listened to most of the comedians on this list, but there are non I can listen to with the regularity of Mr. Black and still enjoy.
Give him time - there's something very intelligent in much of what he says.

Unlike most people, I don't think that cursing is automatically making comedy any easier, it's just a form in which Mr. Black's comedy is at it's maximum potential. Strange enough, I do listening to Lewis Black falling asleep too.

I love Ellen, she's a genious! Not only a great comedian but also a nice person

Yeh shes lesbian and lesbians are hot so yeh.
Id screw her

She's really funny! And there aren't many stand up comediennes too

'Marriage is a wonderful invention: then again, so is a bicycle repair kit.'

Out of all the comedians I've seen I can honestly say that Billy Connolly is my favourite! I would love to have him as a friend so that I could laugh forever!

Some comedians make you chuckle others make you laugh Billy connolly makes you visit A and E needing youre dislocated jaw needing put back in place

IF YOU WANT TO CONSTANTLY LAUGH, WATCH PABLO FRANCISCO!
HE'S THE BEST COMEDIAN EVER, I LIKE HIM, DOUG BENSON AND A FEW OTHERS
I have to keep tYPING IN ORDER TO GET THIS THING TO HAVE A MAXIMUM RATING OF BLUE FOR GOOD

He is the funniest comnedian ever, all of his impressions are hillarious.

you have to watch him to get the most laughs!

The fact that he could do a whole routine and never use a swear word tells you volumes about is skill with the English language. He never had to work "blue" to be funny; he didn't have to go there.

He is more funny than anyone on this list, and he keeps it clean. Its easy to cuss a lot, but keeping it clean and hilarious is leaps and bounds beyond everyone here! Why the heck isn't Bill at least in the top 10?

The fact that Dane Cook is above Bill is insane. I disown my generation

hes just so funny i die by laughing to much lol

chantella

I can't believe Jim Carrey didn't make to the top ten! Super funney in all of his movies!

SO FUNNY! OF DUMB AND DUMBER, AND HOW DID numetalhead GET AWAY WITH SAYING bitch ON DAVE CHAPPELLE NUMBER 5 ON THIS LIST? OMG I GOT AWAY WITH IT TOO WOHO!

Thomas245

I don't think he's # 1 but he is hillarious
regardless if he's Hispanic Asian White Black purple or blue he should be in the top 10.

123klongike

He would be number one if the voters were hispanic.

Gorge You are the best comedian EVER! Right on Mexican brother!

+8I like the fact he has a lot of interaction with the audience. Cutting down all the hecklers. Personally I like the dark comedy. Who cares if it's offensive. It are just jokes. You just gotta love British sense of humour.

+5Says what others are thinking in the nice way. Yes that is the nice version. Should not be taken as offensive as he is just making jokes. one of the best comics ever and one of the few greats!

+3Its quite funny to say to a girl whose suckin u off, 'its rude to talk with your mouth full. ' its even funnier if she replies, 'Well its not full. '

Everyone counts him as the crudest, dirtiest comic out there. Deservingly so, but also just damned funny. Look up his aristocrat joke. It's epic.

"Only in America can you get charged $5 for pleasing yourself! "

He is one of the best true comedians. Way better the most of the previous 33 mentioned. This list of mostly based on popularity and not how good they actually are.

He is absolutely amazing and he always makes me laugh, I always want to watch him on the T. V and always laugh at his jokes. I love how the interlink, its amazing! He is a comedian genius. Hilarious!

I think he is so funny and always makes me laugh whenever I see him and I think he's really hot and so cute!

The greatest British comedian. Check out his "man drawer" and "spices" clips on YouTube

Seriously. This guy is hilarious. He's not offensive or degrading, for all the women out there who appreciate that. Why is Bill Burr number 38?! He is top 5 material.

I'm VERY certain that people that are voting on this list haven't seen this guy as he would be in the top 5 EASILY with Pryor, Carlin and others.

Simply one of the funniest stand up comedians on the planet... I didn't stop laughing for a whole hour with his Let It Go special.

"People say the Earth is bi-poler"

Steven Wright -No One Thinks from outside the box as Steven. He uses words and verbal images that make you think, Steven toss out an handgrenade and waits for it to go off, then 3-2-1 oh you got it. Master of controling the Audience.

This guy is fabulous! He makes so much sense out of nonsense! His detailed observations of life and how some words can mean so much more How he mixes theories and makes his own theories out of them... Laugh out loud, truly funny guy! Looks so dead and tired on stage... But his audience is exactly the opposite ...

"Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. "

John pinette should be much much higher. He is easily the funniest man on the face of the earth!

The funniest show ever. I was doubled over in pain afterwards, my stomach hurt so much. "get outa the line! "

"They took away your winabago, yees, THAT WAS MY PRECIOUS! " funny guy

Steals Jokes. YouTube it. He does not belong on this list. Most comedians on this list have no respect for him. Poor excuse for a comedian.

Comedy is about character, and Mencia has character. I've seen some of those stealing videos, and the looked more into it and the people he stole from, often stole from other people, so he is not the only one

I feel that Carlos is one of funniest comics going, he's real. What you see is what you laugh at.

She is the funniest comedian ever! She should be at least in the top 5. She is one of those comics where everybody gets made fun of so we can all laugh at ourselves.

westofohio

She's better than Dane Cook! c'mon be real! All hail the Queen of Mean! =)

she dosent care what u say she is herself and proud about it she had me rolling on the floor love her!!!

My favourite person of all time! There's something about his bastardly attitude that makes me giggle. "I don't want to make any huge generalizations about women. I'm not here to do that. It's vulgar. But all I'll say is that they have no feelings. " I'm a female and I still appreciate that comment.

Just see him, with cigarette and wine and hand in his hear. unleashing his power of sarcasm, irony and zero tolerance :-)

In my opinion, he's the best! His humor is both subtle and surrealist somehow. I watch his stand-up shows constantly and they never bore me.

Rodney is #47? Ask the comedians rated above him who's funnier. You'll then get a proper ranking for him: Definitely Top 5. Mike Birbiglia edges out Rodney?
Rodney's gravestone: There goes the neighborhood.
My favorite of all times.

Listen to his Biography, he was the mentor for modern day commedy!

Dangerfield's the man. Watch any of his spots on Johnny and you'll agree. Many of the people rated above are hacks next to this ace of comedy.

This dope smokin pork chop had my face hurting, because I laughed so hard!

Funniest comedian I've ever seen! Should've been in the top ten at least. My girlfriend peed her pants after his show

Whether you see Ralphie May in person or in one of his three OUTSTANDING tv specials, he is an A. He belongs top 5 without a doubt!

He is my favorite ever! I think he is so funny, I love his personality too! He cracks me up every time!

Best border-line alcoholic in the biz.

He's funny when he's up on stage holdin his beverages.

I think he lost me with his bomb of a television show, but his standup is absolutely insane. I nearly died laughing, I saw it a week ago unrated and I'm still laughing just thinking about it. The joke about getting a massage from E. Honda was insane, I honestly wanted to turn it off because I didn't think I would make it through the rest of the special.

Absolutely KICK ASS! His stand up on Comedy Central Presents was THE BEST!
His show is very funny too, but does do better stand up.

His stand-up had me laughing for an hour. I love him, I couldn't even pick one quote. Great stories :)

+3Hands down the funniest man alive. He can make anything funny...and yet he can relate to anyone out there. That's his strength

+2Rodney deserves at least top 20. Just watch his Live at the Majestic performance and you'll agree.

Rodney needs to be at #1. Largely because he is like you and me, normal. His songs are funny, and we can all relate, I put a d*** on a snow mwn, hell yeah. This man is funny, we've all been in his situations. Going home with a fat girl. He is great, talking bout seeing a snake in the wild. And about dying drunk, hell yeah, this is the greatest comedian ever.

Easily one of the most edgy and hysterically funny comedians I have ever witnessed. If you don't know who Patton Oswalt is, you don't deserve to vote.

How the hell is this comedic genius not higher on the list? His CD "Werewolves and Lollipops" is still one of the funniest things I've ever heard

"uncle touchy's naked puzzle basement, you wont wear a shirt and you'll cry. "

RIP BERNIE MAC Bernie Mac Deserves to be nr.1 simply cause he is the very best Comedian you'll ever see. Peace

One of the few comedians to be able to do really well during stand up comedy and also be able keep a television series afloat for years. Not to mention he was very funny in movies too.
RIP sir.

One of the original kings of camedy, if hes act was 45 mints, then u'll get a punch line of 45 mints......what ever that means!

frank is one of the best comedians out there! top ten for sure!

Frank's comedy is brilliant and I can't wait to actually see him live!

She kicks ass and doesn't regret a single remark about it.

sailor86

Holy crap certainly one of the funniest women alive
Where my gays at

"THERE IS A TABLE CLOTH. A CLOTH ON TOP OF A TABLE. WATER BOTTLE. WATER INCASED IN BOTTLERY.. WHEN WATER IN ITS SOUL.. TABLE CLOTH! WRAP IT UP BITCH COME ON HONEY. " LMAO. I love her, and I'm 13.. shes so funny and underrated :')

'Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night. All day! ' Joe Rogan has the ability to couple deeply philosophic subject matter with a simplistic delivery that makes everyone laugh and think. There's also plenty of good ol' raunchy humor in his act. And he's a cool guy to boot.

Joe Rogan is fckn AWESOME! Listening to Shiney Happy Jihad high is the best. Can't believe he is ranked so low. Top 20 minimum in my opinion.

Funny especially if you have ever done psychedelic drugs in your life. His bit on Noahs ark is priceless.

Best Roast by far! Still sharp as a wit at his age, id put him up against anyone out there today

He's still funny... Saw him on a talk show in recent years... Hilarious. Watch the "roasts" on You Tube.

Mr RANDOMINATION, he's a genius

I've never seen so many people cry from laughter in my life. He seriously has one of the greatest imgainations of the 21st century!

If you go to see Ross over two consecutive nights, you will be entertained by two completely different sets of comedy. From sticky taping meat to his face to the imagination of bum faced children, he makes the potentially lame into comic genius. I want to steal a lock of his hair.

"I went to a dance club the other night, which was timely, because my self-esteem had been hovering around normal and I'd been meaning to knock it down to -1000. "

"Cracka please! " Every show gets better and better. I don't see/hear many comedians pull that off.

"I went to the doctor the other day and they told me there was something in my bladder. But it's never anything good, like, we found something... aaaand it's season tickets to the Yankees! "

Sam Kinison is the Comedians Comedian. There is not one person on this list who think they are funnier than Sam Kinison.

Rodney Dangerfield once called the funniest stand-up comic working. Now THAT's respect!

It was close tie between larry and Ron white but I like Larry a little bit better. Git-er-done

Haha I love Larry The Cable Guy, Because My cousin's husband is from the South and acts just like him, and looks just like him. If you saw them side by side at the bar you would think they were brother's tryin to pick up the hot waitresses saying We'll Get Her Done! Wink Wink and then turns around with a cigar in their mouth.

Love him, yep, yep I love Him Done the right way!

Don't necessarily have to agree with everything he says even though most of it is the truth, but his delivery is always great, charismatic and captivating. Like his little chuckles too.

Best American Comic, certainly top 5. Makes you laugh and think, agree or disagree with him currently he's in the top 10 touring venue grossing comics in America.

Put him in top ten, please! He's awesome.

Mary Palmer

Funniest guy EVER! watch russel howard's good news for proof. DO IT! You know you want to...

RUSSEL HOWARD IS AN ACTUAL COMEDY GENIOUS!
His stand up on his dvds ^^ Mock the Week as well as Good News is AMAZING! Should bee nearer the top ten!

HE is HILARIOUS love Mock the Week and Good news and I'm going to see him LIVE at the O2 in December! Can't wait

RandomAccount297

bill bailey is an amazing comedian because of his uniqe style and he's even funny to look at. bill is an amazing comedian as well as a musician.

This guy is the most under-rated comedian out! He has me laughing just as much as gevais, eddie murphy and lee evans. Plus I meet him in tesco's brook green, hammersmith. As good a reason as any to vote for someone I think.

Bill Bailey hands down comedy genius - an intellectual who also is a cracking musician and a thoroughly nice bloke. Gets his politics across without being preachy, has a great line in the bizarre, and for the 'family' audience he rarely swears or tells 'nob' jokes.

"If you mow your lawn and find a car, you might be a redneck" HOW CAN JEFF NOT BE HIGHER

Bec

"If you go to the Family Reunion to meet women, you might be a Redneck..."

walter34

Saw him in November. I don't think I stopped laughing until he left the stage. So funny. Would love to see him again

+1He is the next george carlin. Telling it like it is and he will not be ranked high because it makes "normal people mad". What ever that means. He is perfect comedy for anyone who grew up as a red dot in a blue sea, and now you find yourself as a blue dot in a red sea.

While maybe not the best ever (LOUIS CK IS AWESOME) Chris gets my vote for being a wonderful comedian who knows that true humor comes from pain. Anybody who can go through life and see the funny... That is a person that not only has my respect but my funny bone. GO CHRISTOPHER!

"You wanna hear the funniest part of that story? Where my mom, y'know, shoots and kills a man? "

"Chris Titus: People, be proud you're screwed up. But don't be too proud, like me. I got into an argument with a guy in bar; I bet him fifty bucks that I was more dysfunctional than he was. And he raped me.
[laughter]
Chris Titus: So I tipped him.
[laughter]
Chris Titus: I am very competitive. "

He is able to turn stories, sometimes decidedly sad stories into funny ones that you are able to relate to and laugh at and, his timing, accents, delivery and vast amounts of material is off the charts, he deserves a higher ranking

Hilarious!
�I like threesomes with two women, not because I'm a cynical sexual predator. Oh no! But because I'm a romantic. I'm looking for "The One. " And I'll find her more quickly if I audition two at a time. �

he is a genius!
'I did make the tiny mistake, on september the 12th as going to work, at MTV, dressed as a certain Osama Bin Laden... '

No quotes for this singing comedian. This guy deserves to be in the top ten. Every one of his songs has me rolling on the floor, and he's great at improvising.

Uh, it's Special Ed, not Special Fred. On Stephen Lynch, though, not only is he a riot, he can really sing!

His songs made my day

"If I were gay we would swim in romance, but I'm not gay so get your hand off of my ass"

"Special fred, momma dropped him on his head, now he's not so bright instead. He's a little bit special! "

“Just about all the comedians on this list owe a little bit to Lenny for pushing the boundaries of free speech.

"Can I have a Coke"... Oh is Pepsi Ok?.. "Oh is Monopoly money ok"

HIS VOICE MAKES THE JOKES FUNNIER... MUST SEE!

He only has one stand up by laughed till it hurt the entire time. The way he talks makes his jokes even better. Defiantly one of the best comedians I've seen.

First caught his routines on Sirus radio. Absolutely one of the best comedians I've ever heard. Can bring me to tears laughing in a minute and that's dangerous while you're driving.

Not just an insomniac. Hysterical.

Dave Attell at 73? Too funny to be this low. If you like comedy, you have to check Dave out, his delivery is so perfect that he can make anything funny. But thankfully, he does jokes and leave audiences in tears, he's so funny.

This guy is "thuh best"!!!

Watched this guy live and laughed the whole time! Cant wait to see what he comes up with next.

Mitch is hysterical, too funny!
so magnificently inappropriate with his preoccupation with sex!

Dude is raw. Angry good humor! Talk about things that pisses everybuddy of

This man is god of the F*** Everything. He is the man. Really Carlos Mencia ranked higher? WTF SEX Drugs, Chain smoking and hating everything that sucks.

He is deff ranked too low. He is by far a top 10, maybe not number 1 but deff top 10!

+3Although not as well known as some of the Hollywood typicals... he has been so underrated... he is HILLARIOUS! Eddie Murphy and Arnez could make a very funny movie about real Urban living! LOL>>>>>>>>>

+1I couldn't breathe listening to him because was laughing so hard

One of the greatest "Storytellers" ever. The vast majority of comedians tell 'Jokes'. Arnez just talks a whole bunch of hilarious stuff that is hysterically funny.

Dice is one of the funniest comedians ever! Nobody does comedy like dice does ya hear! ohhhhhh

come on now cedirc is one of the best if you dont knock this list off cause this is bull

no 1 in the world ppl, just think twice

sello

He's the funniest guy living on this planet!

The best standup comedian of alltime. Comedy Central used to air his specials, and two of them are the funniest I've ever seen.

Pure comedy genius. No one can tell a story like him and generate so many laughs before the punch line.

Best ever Irish comedian. Some jokes are very local but he is an expert at his craft!

Funny and family friendly! He appeals to parents and kids.
"Here's your sign! "

Everyone that was on the blue Collar tour should be way higher. Bill, Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy should all be in the top ten. I've heard plenty of the comedians that are up there, so I KNOW that these guys are better. Especially Bill.

+1Jimmy Norton is filthy, disgusting, offensive, and down right hilarious.

Extremely underrated in this list! He is one of my favorite comedians! He might be filthy, but he is lightening quick with smart and hilarious comments on any subject! I love yemmy!

Lil Jimmy is funny on stage with prepared material or off the cuff.

crazy funny, severely under-rated and not understood... the comics favorite comedian and too smart for the masses. Masters the true art of comedy.

I've seen him live. He feeds off the anticipation of the audience, brings the expectations down, and then blows it up!

Has the uncanny ability to say what you didn't even realize you were already thinking.

having kids isn't hard. talking your girlfriend in to her 3rd consecutive abortion, now that takes finesse.

One of the funniest guys I've ever come across. Might be a bit raunchy for mixed company, but he's really quite brilliant and true to life.

If you don't know this man, find out now. Life is short... you need the laughs.

FUNNY WOMAN! I laugh my ass off whenever I watch her show her books are hilarious. Shes a genius with her come backs

AMAZING! She always makes me pee my pants! If her life is like what it seems on her new show After Lately I would marry this chick! Even thought I would still marry her!

She is awesome! Not sure about her TV show, but she needs to get back to her basics and get that fresh attitude she had when she first started! Still very funny lady!

"Asian Chicken Salad......Asian Chicken Salad......*gulp*....Chicken Salad...."

screamingly funny, consistently... as John, himself, would say, "tell me more! "

Very funny take on current events. If you like the Daily Show then you need to see his stand up!

His stand up was so insightful and thought-provoking. I really admired how earnest he seemed in his points, yet how hilarious he would still be. As much as I love The Daily Show, I still miss his stand up!

" Now Esther they should've run over your face"

"A man offered Esther candy to get under the car. "

The godfather of stand up ranked at 84, Seriously! This man inspired many to follow in his footsteps, a real pioner.

His bit about sheet linens maade me sheet my pants this guy is so freaking funny. He may not be number one but he is freaking hilarious.

great up and comer, can't wait to see where his career goes from here.

One of the best out there right now. He should be way up on this questionable list.

'A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.'

An excellence comedian who is unapologetic in mannerism and content. One of those rare people who manages to make everyone feel good by making himself feel terrible. On purpose, even!

The most underrated comedian in existence, amazing stage presence and really makes you think.

“Definitely a very VERY funny man!

Sweat the Small Stuff - watch it! Hilariousness. Material, facial expressions, delivery... all of it is on point.

His standup routine 3 to 5 yrs ago on Cm. Cntrl. was a riot. He was funny without having to be vulgar. Great material. Great physical expressions. My alltime favorite.

Sweat the small stuff made me fall on the floor. He made the most funny backround noises I have ever heard.

“One of the innovators of the genre. Loved all over the world. The guy really was a genius and is sadly missed. And may your god go with you.

“Kinda just started watching his late night show and he has some funny bits!

-1Funniest guy i have ever heard

This guy is hilarious... Awkward and random... The only time its good to yell out "I have diarrhea! " is when you're playing scrabble because its worth a s***load of points

NUMBER 93! MORE LIKE NUMBER 1. HE IS THE FUNNIEST, AWKWARDEST, HANSOMEST MAN ALIVE. YOU PEOPLE SOME BE ASHAMED FOR PUTTING HIM WAY DOWN HERE ON THE LIST. THE HANGOVER, DUE DATE, DINNER FOR SMUCKS, LIVE AT THE PURPLE ONION, THE HANGOVER 2. NEED I SAY MORE?

Hey I love Zach Galifianakis because he is the best actor that I have ever see in my live. I love his movies such as Hangover 2 and Its kind of a funny story.

-1He told me the meaning of life but he told it to me in Hebrew. I told him I don't understand Hebrew. Now he wants to charge me $600 for Hebrew lessons.

+1Hilarious! Impersonations from babies to old people. A real master of comedy and a really nice guy.

Jim is the best... His impersonations.. And most of the stand ups I've watched he does not curse, he is awesome!

His Sirius radio show is best comedy show I have ever heard.

His blunt and intelligent stand-up rivals the greatest of all time. He is also the greatest roaster to ever live.

A straight up legend. Giraldo was extremely honest in all his routines, never stopped to breathe, and was just funny as hell. Nobody can deny his comedic ability. RIP.

The most underrated comedian in the history of comedy. Hands down.

I have watched his CC specials over and over again. Such a genuinely funny comic. RIP Greg Giraldo.

You are quite obviously a feminist as this comedian is. The jokes are hilarious but based on the one sided "all men are bad but all females are good" jokes and your "i bet if she were a man she would be higher comment" both of you are feminists. A comedian who has one type of jokes will never make it.

Intelligent, insightful, inspiring and just plain in-your-face. If she were a man I bet she'd be further up the list. As it is, she was not even considered herein. So I registered just to add Ms. Brett because she's absolutely hilarious! Hope to see more of her here in the near future.

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine? "

"It depends, " I replied. "What does it say on your shirt? "

He yelled back, "University of Oklahoma. "

And they say blondes are dumb...

The woman replies, "I'll miss you... "



"It's just too hot to wear clothes today, " Jack says as he stepped out of the shower, "honey, what do you think the neighbours would think if I mowed the lawn like this? "

"Probably that I married you for your money, " she replied.



He said - Shall we try swapping positions tonight?

She said - That's a good idea... you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart.
