    Larry Miller and his 20-minute bit about the six (maybe seven?) stages of drinking is gold.

    Another really funny dude that you don't see much anymore is Jake Johannsen.

    I agree with everyone on your list of shitty comics except Emo Phillips. That dude is brilliant.

    Jesus, really?? I can't stand that dude, his voice or how he talks. I got really pissed off one day because he and Ben Folds were both guests on some national radio show one day. Love Ben Folds - the dude's hilarious - but I had to switch the channel just because they kept asking Emo questions. He's infuriating.

    Yes, he can be infuriating. His inflections are maddening, but so are Lewis Black's at times, and I love Lewis Black.

    Get past that and the guy is incredibly clever. If you can find it, check out Harvard's Hasty Pudding Man of the Year award show the year they gave it to him. It was on HBO. Really good stuff.



    Found a link to one of his jokes that night:



    "Ambiguity ... the devil's volleyball."

    There are five levels of drinking ... six if you live in a trailer park, but never mind that now.

    At 11, you buy the guy at the end of the bar a drink just cause you like his face.

    At 1, you punch the guy at the end of the bar just cause you don't like his face.

    I will never, ever do this again.... and this time, I mean it.

    I love Denis Leary, Lewis Black and Greg Giraldo, but the best now is Chris Rock

    Louis CK and Bill Burr are probably the 2 most reacted-to comics on the YouTube circuit of reaction videos.

    CK's "But Maybe" bit is probably his most popular and same for Burr's "No reason to hit a woman" ...
