Who is your favorite comedian and why?

If you choose other, explain because I'm sure I forgot a good one!


I LOVE, LOVE Dane Cook! He is so hilarious! Bad mouth but very very funny!

You know who I really forgot was Bob Saget. Trav heard one of his shows and said he was hilarious but very dirty! Very strange because I can only imagine him as Danny Tanner from Full House

I saw a show of his on one of the comedy channels once and I couldn't believe the foul language that came out of his mouth..I kept thinking of him as Danny Tanner and the host of AFV. It was really funny though!

I can't picture him being a dirty talker like that, he's supposed to be the dad on Full House, all sweet and innocent!!

I LOVE Ellen DeGeneras! Her stand-up is classic!

For my taste, Blue Collar is too cliche and Dane Cook is too obnoxious. I actually saw him live last year...it's great fun for a while and then you kind of want to be like 'Ok, now, shhhhhhhh...' but that's just me!

Rick Mercer (Canadian comedian). I'm all about the wry, political humour, and The Rick Mercer Report is great. I miss him on This Hour Has 22 Minutes; that show has gone downhill without him.

Allie, Ellen's my favorite too! She's incredible.
I also really love classic Richard Pryor and Chris Rock...doesn't get much sharper than that!
I cannot stand Larry the Cable Guy ever since he made a joke about people with cleft lips (which my brother had...he called them a very derogatory name
).

This is a hard question because I love quite a few.

My #1 right now is George Carlin
I love his super smart ways of thinking outside the box on big issues. He has a live special on HBO coming up on the 5th I think.

My #2 would be Jon Stewart.
His political commentary is very well informed hilarity. I love the Daily Show, and watch it every night.

Stand up comedy is one of my most favorite things to watch.. can you tell??

I know Larry the cable guy can be uncouth at times, but he does make me laugh, and since I live in the south, many of his jokes hit home. I'd have to flip a coin between him Foxworthy and Carlin. Carlin is too angry for me sometimes though, but he is funny.

I love Jeff Foxworthy. My only complaint: he's talking about MY family and we're not getting any royalties!


A few months ago, I saw Bill Engvall and almost peed myself

Yeah Bill Envall has to be tied with Dane Cook. Bill is clean but very funny and I like that but I LOVE that Dane Cook has the you-know-whats to talk the way he does!
