Best is pretty subjective, but I'd have to say Sandler and Seinfeld are the most successful?

This thread blows.

No Rodney Dangerfield? No Bill Cosby?

Was going to say this but was not sure if they were considered "modern comedians"

Compared to, say, Shakespeare? Or compared to, say, Bill Hicks?

I think a few of the posters in this thread are real contenders. You guys are rough ridin' hilarious, I tell you.

pfft... Whitney Cummings, she's hot, talks about dirty stuff and her name is sort of a double entendre. What more could you ask for?

Wow. No Jeff Dunham in the Top 4? What a joke of a thread. Joke. But not the funny kind, like Jeff Dunham or Dane Cook tell. The kind that's tragic. Sad, really.

If you can watch the Jalapeno pepper on a stick bit, and not piss yourself from laughing too hard, you have very little in common with me.

Do you know why Denis Leary is famous?

Because there's no cure for cancer.

I agree with Carrot Top if he slims back down like he says he is planning to do.

Dat Phan came to FHSU while I was going to school there. He did an hour show and it was the most awkward experience of my life. He stood up there for an hour trying to be funny with 700 people watching and not a single person laughing.

PAUL... I figured you'd be a lock for Yakoff?!

George Carlin and Bill Hicks are two of the best ever. Not sure if they're modern era though. But if the modern era has Dane Cook at the top, then thats indicative of how far comedy has fallen. He's funny, but his jokes are too simple.

edit: and Mencia? Yeah, i guess comedy does suck today. He's THE go to guy for intellectual property theft in the industry.
