Dice ahead of Robin Williams?

 

Some others that haven't been mentioned:

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
Mitch Hedberg
Dane Cook (yeah, I said it)
Jeff Foxworthy (but not Cable Guy)
Adam Sandler
Bob Newhart
Jackie Mason
Don Rickles
Lisa Lampanelli

 

This thread was doing fine without Dane Cook.

Stay on topic!

 

Not yet with Dane Cook, but I won't say he'll never be there.

 

When I was 17, yes... At 33, not so much...

 

I love Sandler, but his standup blows... Jackie Mason is horrendous... I definitely forgot about Rickles, who would have to be top 20... Bernie Mac should be up there... D.L. Hughley is pretty damn good... Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy as well... David Spade, Sarah Silverman...

Dane Cook blows goats...

 

I would agree on Black and Izzard... Crystal is way overrated... I mean, I guess Steve Martin should be on these lists, even though he hasn't done stand-up in almost 30 years...

 

For those of the '60's generation, David Steinberg. Acerbic, political and funny as hell.
Was on Johnny Carson over a 100 times.

 

A don't know about Greatest of All Time, but I find Zach Galifianakis and Demetri Martin hysterical!

 

mentioning Lisa Seabisquitelli before Robert Schimmel is blasphemy.

 

I love his grammar humor.

No, I'm going into the plane."
