For me it’s

1) Norm MacDonald
2) Dave Chappelle


3) Mitch Hedberg
4) John Candy
5) Chris Farley

3-5 are pretty close and interchangeable depending on the mood. Pryor, Hicks and Carlin are up there but they are kinda heavy

1-3 are good . Loved Mitch Hedberg RIP. Liked 4-5 but not sure would consider them comedians (think of more stand up) but both were hilarious

Is this some kind of code for our next portal commit? If it is, I’m way too slow for this

If it’s not, Ron White & Kevin Hart kill me

The Ron White line that always gets me is that his penis is short but 6 inches wide. Guy kills me too

I know he turned out to be a terrible person, but Louis CK has definitely had me laughing uncontrollably with tears streaming down my face. He and Chapelle are probably the two that have made me laugh the hardest.

Yeah, it was just disappointing that so much of Louis’s stuff was “guys are THE WORST…” but it turns out he wasn’t making fun of the ********, he was speaking from experience… 🤦‍♂️

This. I still like his stuff, but yeah it’s really hard to listen to his early stuff that used to make me cry laughing bc you’re like “Oooohhh, you’re telling us what you are like for real. This is all true, it’s not a joke. Yikes.”

Dave is always my number 1 standup. Norm is probably my favorite conversational comedian. His bits on Conan are legendary. The Moth story is the best. Old ones, Pryor, Murphy, George Carlin. Nate Bergotze is probably the be at newer stand up. Daniel Tosh was great in the mid 2000s.

Bill Burr creeped up into a top 5 for me until he started being so political (which is funny cause he thinks he's a centrist).

How about comedians that didn’t need to drop the “F” bomb in every sentence!!!! With that being said I still love to watch old segments of Red Skeleton (!), Tim Conway, Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall!

Current.

1. Chapelle
2. Gillis
3. Segura
4. Normand
5. Bargatze

I’m a JRE junkie but his standup is awful. Same with Bert. His standup is so bad but he’s a good podcast. Shane Gillis is the funniest man alive but he isn’t the technician Chapelle is. Chapelle is the GOAT

Genius of his day.

Here's my current list:

Shane Gillis
Dave Chappelle (genius)
Eddie Murphy
Theo Von (most don't agree, but he makes me laugh)
Bill Burr (Is it still cool to admit you think he's funny?)
