Da Ali G Show hasn't aged as well as such classics as "Football Hits Groin" and cakefarts, but god this stuff takes me back. How he keeps a straight face I'll never know.

I used this piece in the thread about funniest movies.

Most people think of the scene with the zipper or with Puffy.

But following are two of the best:

Danny McBride in Topic Thunder or Eastbound and Down. Both are very similar characters and are hilarious.

Greg Hahn- certainly not as big as Seinfeld/etc but the best comedian I've ever seen live.

I don't consider this underrated, but this is a great bit.

From the late great Robert Schimmel:

Robert George "Bob" Schimmel (January 16, 1950 – September 3, 2010) was an American comedian who was known for his controversial blue comedy.[1] While the extremely profane nature of his act limited his commercial appeal, he had a reputation as a "comic's comic" due to his relentless touring, comedy albums and frequent appearances on HBO and The Howard Stern Show. Schimmel is number 76 on the 2004 program Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-Ups Of All Time.

His final appearance on Howard Stern was the most depressing thing I've ever heard. A guy with a terminal disease facing the end.
