Wood , Cheese and children. they make your life soo sweet. wooahh woahh.

wilddiverse 03-17-2011 11:15 AM

"God made wood, man made cheese, and a woman will make children if you just say 'please'."

Sean Cullen's live album is fantastic, but I don't know that it ever got much notice. (Pretty sure I had to order it out of Canada a few years back.)

yeah his comedy central presents is all i've seen , but it was great.

i remember " you've got a friend in porn "

and something about a half human half monkey child lol.


i like comedians who can actually play and sing , like stephen lynch

discordiatookie 03-17-2011 06:07 PM

Hmm, Frankie Boyle, Bill Bailey, Billy Connelly, and a slew of others that I can't think of right now...

wilddiverse 03-18-2011 06:07 AM

Ah, Bill Bailey. :P

Dylan Moran.

Steven Wright.

deadpoolRKO 04-11-2011 12:03 PM

Whitney Cummings , Anthony Jesselneck.


Just saw Whitney Cummings special " Money Shot "

it was pretty one dimensional , but still very funny imo.

BubblyShell22 04-11-2011 01:34 PM

I like the Blue Collar Comedy guys: Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall in particular. I also like Carlos Mencia.

magicalgirlj 04-19-2011 08:57 AM

Dane Cook and Jeff Foxworthy are my favorite comedians

deadpoolRKO 04-19-2011 09:02 AM

dane cook , people seem to either love him or hate him

I can only speak for myself but I do enjoy listening to Dane's jokes. What I find most appealing about him, besides his copious references to my childhood memories, is his vernacular. He often uses unfamiliar words to set up his stories which is comical in itself IMO.

Anyway, I like

Demitri Martin
Nick Swardson
Kevin Hart
Sinbad
Jim Breuer
Mitch Hedberg RIP
Does Conan O'Brian count? Because I love him!

BubblyShell22 04-19-2011 06:04 PM

Yeah, I would say Conan counts.

Ashangelo 04-19-2011 10:28 PM

Love stand up.

Favorites consist of...

Dane Cook
Bill Engvall
Jamie Kennedy
Chris Rock
Brian Regan
Jeff Dunham
Eddie Murphy
Daniel Tosh
Gabriel Iglesias

Jester 04-19-2011 10:33 PM

I always liked Pablo Fransisco. His "Little Tortilla Boy" movie trailer parody is hilarious!

Have you heard any Otis Lee Crenshaw?

Zach Galifianakis actually has some piano skills-- his 'Live at the Purple Onion' show is hilarious for me.

I've been hitting the Bo Burnham pretty hard lately.

where have you been all my life? lol


i LOVE live at the purple onion. one of my fav. DVD's i have.


one of my fav. jokes from it, " i'm addicted to cold turkey. I tell people , i'm going to quit cold turkey , and they're like .. what are you going to quit ?"


&& Bo Burnam is so hilarious , I downloaded his comedy central special after i saw it on TV. It was so good , i thought for sure he was going to be huge in the next few years

KROW 04-27-2011 12:26 AM

I myself have an ecclectic taste when it pertains to stand-up comedy. From Sinbad to George Carlin, there's pretty much no one I won't watch. And I'm probably the only one who likes Bob Saget.

You're highly mistaken. I'm a HUGE fan. Moreso of Full House than his stand up, though having a taste for crude humor I like that too.

I prefer his stand-up. I was never fond of Full House and I found his written quips from America's Funniest Home Videos rather painful.

Powder 04-27-2011 12:41 AM

Well I have a softspot for that corny kind of humor, dunno why. It's just goofy.

deadpoolRKO 04-27-2011 07:43 AM

yeah Bob Saget is def. funny. His roast was pretty great too

Sage Ninja 04-27-2011 07:21 PM

Tommy Davidson



Kevin Hart

Jester 04-27-2011 07:40 PM

this special she did here was the first time I've ever seen her my self and I really liked her. I don't know if this sexist or not to say, but I really don't find female comedians all that funny. With a few exceptions like Wanda Sykes and Aisha Tyler and few others who I can't name right now. Oddly enough the female comedians I find funny are almost exclusivly black. :ohwell:
