Cruzer 1,992 Posted September 16, 2016 I did include a link hardest I ever laughed in person at a comedy show was him. I will def check him out. Maybe the hardest I've ever laughed was during Steve Harvey's stand up in Atlanta - it was nails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patweisers44 697 Posted September 16, 2016 Dave Attel has perfected the stand up craft. Some of the supposed legends that I thought were funny decades ago ...

wiffleball 4,647 Posted September 16, 2016 The only problem for me with Murphy is that I literally have both of his stand ups (red and blue) pretty much memorized. It's fascinating though to see his routine and know that it couldn't possibly air these days (Phaggit werds....) And it says a lot about our F'ed up world. Because go back 30 years and the stuff Lenny Bruce, George Carlin said back then is tame compared to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Countdown to fuming edjr post in 3...2...1... he said unlistenable today, meaning at one point he thought it was funny and isn't funny listening to it today what you said was Carlin was funny at one point and then his stuff stopped being funny once he started ranting. Which is it, focker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,647 Posted September 16, 2016 Eddie Izzards stand up (the one where he's in some kind of wizard drag outfit ) was literally brilliant. Based upon that, he's probably one of the intellectually smartest comedians out there. Haven't seen him since he tried to be an American actor. Jim Jeffries has come good stuff to be sure.

Mookz 1,287 Posted September 16, 2016 The guys who are already up there were pretty funny. Dennis Wolfberg Eddie Murphy (Delirious/SNL era) Ron White Rodney Dangerfield Honorable mention to the late great Greg Giraldo. I always found him to be physically hard to watch. His bugging eyes and facial expressions, then he started doing this thing where he would make an "O" with his lips and wag his tongue back and forth really fast inside his mouth after he told a joke. The only guy who comes close is Lewis Black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
