Barry and levon master thread?

They have $240 of pudding, I'd say that's worthy of it's own thread.

Watched Kat Williams special the other day and I was pretty impressed. That first 10 minute intro:

Also, Aziz Ansari is very underrated.

Has anyone seen Danny Glover's stand-up? The best stand-up I've seen in a long time.

Neil Hamburger

Aziz Ansari is appropriately rated. I mean he sold out a 3500 seat theater in SF this week at $50/ticket. I would guess he's a top 10 draw when it comes to comedians.

Def not the best, but I enjoyed Jay Mohr at the Midland last weekend.

#1) dane cook. i went to this guy's show out in LA and he is a non-stop comedy tour de force. i was literally falling out of my chair laughing so hard. what i really like about cook is that he takes a refreshing view of the comedy world and tells jokes that are fresh and original as opposed to many comedians today who just rehash old george carlin jokes.

#2) jeff foxworthy. the proof is in the pudding, they gave the guy his own television quiz show (in case you haven't seen it, it's called Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader). he has a great style to his joke telling that makes other comedians drool.

#3 carlos mencia. sure his jokes are a bit R-Rated but the guy can flat out bring it. i also love how he supports other comedians by having younger guys open up for him and helps them come up. i've seen mencia twice and both times he delivered, A++ recommendation.

#4) richard prior. yes a lot of his schtick deals with race, which should be outlawed, but i think he deserves honorable mention just because he was around when these other guys weren't around and although most of his routine/jokes were not funny or original, at least he was a black comedian who probably laid the foundation for other blacks to be funny, like Sinbad.

Heard jay mohr tell a story about fingering his wife at a garth brooks charity event and just as she's about to climax everyone gives a progeria kid a standing ovation so they had to stand up too and now she hates progeria kids cause they "owe her a rough ridin' orgasm".

this thread has certainly taken a turn for the worse/worst thread of all time.

Funniest Jay Mohr moment IMO. He was on Lettermen an was talking about how he had low sperm count. Well he let em have it when he said, "Well Dave, it doesn't matter cause I'm dropping them off at the front door!"

Oh man that guy.

Tommy Tiernan I caught his Something Mental show on late night tv a few years back.His material is pretty damn funny and his Irish accent almost killed me.

Saw him in KC before he was famous. Was funnier than crap live, but I really became tired of him after I knew who he was.

I do not agree with a single person on this list btw.
