This is my first post, so be kind until I get used to posting and the like.

Anyway, I've looked through a number of different threads, many asking "what's you favourite..." Many of these are for games and films etc, but I haven't seen any about comedians.

So, who makes you laugh the most?

For me, it's a tie between Bill Bailey and Ross Noble (both English comedians).

I'm torn between Bill Bailey and Bill Hicks, the former is both funny and musical (which always makes for a good time) and Bill Hicks is hilarious and insightful (even if the Goatboy segments are a little bit...strange).

How could I have fogot Yahtzee?!
but never been that bothered about Billy Connelly though. That said, he can be pretty funny.

Demetri Martin or George Carlin... Kind of a new school, old school battle though...

Peter Kay or Ricky Gervais. They could fight about. I'd watch and, the lovely person that I am, throw rocks at whoever's winning.

So, basically about 50% of all British comedians...

Bill Bailey, though im not saying he's funnier than all the rest, something about him just reeks of awesomeness ^_^

George Carlin RIP

I like Dane Cook. That guy's hilarious, if those videos on youtube are actually Dane Cook.
I also like Yahtzee.

Monty Python and Les Luthiers - while not individual comedians, their combined talents are hard to ignore.

I like Lewis Black for his politically motivated and "permanently pissed off" brand of humor.

Benny Hill had his days too, although that old bald guy who Benny always slapped on the head was half the show!

i stick to my older comedians, none of the new ones make me laugh as much as they did. Eddie Murphey, when he was a bad ass though, Andrew Dice, Richard Prior and last but no least George Carling, the altime funnyest comedians of all time and none of you can go againts it

I second Charlie Brooker. He's an absolute legend.

You probably don't know him because he's a german comedian but Michael Mittermeier.

George Carlin for the most part. Classic. "Get on the plane, get on the plane." "Fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane! Let Evel Knievel get on the plane!"

Also, I dabble in Eugene Mirman (youtube him if you haven't heard of him), and I find myself thinking along the same wavelengths of Lewis Black. "Like being on the Titanic every single day and being the only one who knows what's going to happen".

And yes... Yahtzee makes me giggle.

Eddie Izzard, bar none. Actually, since I started watching Eddie Izzard about 8 years ago, I've literally lost all interest in stand-up comedians other than him.
