Title: Stand up
Post by: square_marker on August 12, 2004, 09:47:00 PM: List your favorite stand up acts or comedians.

I enjoyed Kevin James: Sweat the small stuff, Comedy Central Presents Carlos Mencia, Pablo Franciso but the best stand up I have ever seen has to be Robin Williams Live on Broadway. I suggest if you have a program such as Kazaa lite to dl it. Mucho comico!

The Blue collar comedy tour, is some good sheeit also. Chris Rock ain\'t bad. Wait, yep, he\'s horrible. He\'s so annoying and loud, i just want to smack the guy.

Also, Lewis Black, Robin Williams On Broadway, Blue Collar Comedy Tour (not my typical cup of tea, but I don\'t care who you are, that\'s funny), anything ever done by Dave Chapel (I\'ve been a fan of his since pre-Half Baked), Dave Attel\'s Comedy Central Special, there\'s more, just can\'t think...anything with Carlin, Dangerfield, and Prior.

Post by: Halberto on August 13, 2004, 01:54:11 PM: Lewis Black was funny the first few times I watched him, but his furious attitude is getting old.

Post by: Lord Nicon on August 13, 2004, 07:00:11 PM: Many of mine named. Others i just forgot or dont feel the need to mention them.

Ill just throw in John Leguizamo. Hilarious. The bit where hes talking about his Jewish wife? Good stuff.

Does Dennis Leary count? I wouldnt say hes my fav. but hes ok.

Robin Williams too. Easy

Post by: Titan on August 13, 2004, 07:34:30 PM: I don\'t watch standup often but I like Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cableguy and Ron White. I have seen some of Chappelle\'s stuff and thought it was great.

Post by: L i L K u B B s on August 13, 2004, 08:17:29 PM: Robin Williams on broadway definitely

Post by: Deadly Hamster on August 13, 2004, 08:45:03 PM: Foxworthy is good

But the cableguy abuses the redneck card way too much for my liking.

Post by: Eiksirf on August 14, 2004, 02:21:17 PM: Another vote for Dane Cook. Go buy his DVD.

My all time favorite is Norm MacDonald. Maybe download his stuff from Kazaa or some such program. Miller and Norm were the best SNL news guys, too.

"Trinity, Trinita, Trinito, Trinitu...every time I click, it\'s $9.95 to YOU!"

Man, Dana Carvey kicks ass.

Also, the Pablo Francisco special on Comedy Central was downright awesome. I guess I\'m just a big fan of good impersinators :)

See Yuz.

Post by: Bobs_Hardware on August 15, 2004, 08:25:42 PM: Oh man, I hate about 3/4 of the people listed. Dane Cook? I ****ing hate that guy "I\'d LOVE to be able to spit acid. Imagine if chicks could do that, just spit acid at some guy whos hassling them at a bar.." Please. Pablo Francisco? Yah, his impersonations are pretty good, but I\'ve seen quite a few of his acts and he reuses the same damn material all the damn time. "Little Tortilla Boy!!" Bah.. "One man, one DESIRE", bah.. etc. etc.

Robin Williams is great, but his broadway DVD was hit and miss. Still, a lot of hits, though. If you think that\'s the best stand-up ever, you should go watch some classics like Delerious by Eddie Murphy.

Everyone should familiarise themselves with Harland Williams. I\'ve been a fan of him for a few years now (ever since he started making appearances on Conan O\'Brien) and no comedian has ever been able to make me laugh like this guy. And not just his material, either, but his ad lib is far and away better than anyone elses. In fact, when I saw him live at the Melbourne International comedy festival, probably about 60% of the show was him talking to the audience.

../end rant

Oh, and there are some great old school comedians, but I can\'t be bothered thinking of them all. People like Sam Kinnison.. he was good.... yeah. :)
