Who are your favorite comdedians?

[tekla]

I have a real soft spot for an obscure movie by Peter Sellers called The Party.  Love it.

[Padma]

Bardy Numnums.

[Andy]

Woody Allen, Lucille Ball, Rowan Atkinson, any and all of the Christopher Guest movies and troupe (Eugene Levy, Fred Willard, et al), Leslie Neilsen, Mike Myers, Monty Python

Thanks for mentioning Flight of the Conchords, that is genius!

OH DUH I forgot the Three Stooges, my original loves. Low brow comedy. If loving the Three Stooges is wrong, I don't want to be right

Bill Hicks took up where George left off and died way too soon.  Anymore I think only Lewis Black is doing that kind of stuff, and I try to work every show he does round here just to see him.  Loved Burns and Allen too, Gracie was a natural.

Glad to see someone mention Bill Hicks - my absolute favorite. For me, Doug Stanhope is the Bruce/Carlin/Hicks successor. I also like Louis CK, especially his new show on FX.

[Hayzer12]

Dane Cook, Jo Koy, Katt Williams, Mike Epps

I also like Louis CK, especially his new show on FX.

I love that show. My favorite episode was when his doctor(Ricky Gervais) fingered him up the butt. That was priceless. "I know whats wrong, you have aids". oh, it was hllarious

[Ian]

Monty Python, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, Mel Brooks, Steve Martin, Rowan Atkinson

[N.Chaos]

George Carlin, who'll always be one of my personal heroes, Lewis Black, John Pinette, all of the Pythons, and Eddie Izzard.

[GentlemanRDP]

Eddie Izzard. N'uff said.

I've got to give props to Steven Colbert whose parody is so over the top, so pure, so letter and note perfect that half the people watching him don't even understand that that it's a joke.  Now that's funny.

tom green!!! haha

Kath & Kim

Please PLEASE tell me you mean the real, Aussie Kath and Kim?

They showed the American remake here and it got axed after only two episodes because Aussie audiences chucked a massive blue. I've never seen a show come and go so quickly!
