Poll added.
Christopher Titus is fricken hilarious but he's not up there.
"Can you explain to me why the car is parked at such an odd angle, on the porch, in the neighbors yard?"
Fricken hilarious
I can PM you part of the video if you want. I don't think it's appropriate for the Frontroom.
It's got some cursing in it.

Patton Oswalt

Hey, where's Michael Richards on that list? ~D ~:doh:
Bill Hicks, RIP.
That list is the past month's Comedy Central specials :inquisitive:
I have to choose Lewis Black. He is the most comically angry person in the world.
Honorable mentions to:
Bill Hicks-some of the most poignant comedy ever ("Two guys walk up to me after a show, stop me, push me around a little. They say "hey, we're Christians and we didn't like the joke about Jesus." So I said, "alright, forgive me.")
George Carlin-Despite being an angry old fart now he used to be one of the funniest men alive.
Lenny Bruce-Without whom none of the above would exist.
Eddie Izzard-Where would the world be without British Transvestites?
One name:
Richard Pryor

personally, I vote Mitch Hedberg, but among the dead comics. (He died last year in a drug related incident)
Among living comics, I would have to say either Eddie Izzard or Jackie "the Joke Man" Martling, who was on the Howard Stern show, so his stuff is all about sex and porn, but very funny Example:
-3 guys and a girl get stranded on a island. A year goes by and the girl is so ashamed of what she is doing she kills herself. A month later the guys are so ashamed of what they're doing they bury her. A month more goes by and the guys are so ashamed they dig her back up.
That joke is just wrong.
Carlos Mencia is a fav of mine right now, but check back in a few weeks and it will change. ~D
not exactly the most inventive list in the world...
Sarah Silverman has killed most of my enthusiasm for american stand-up. Introduced at the Secret Policeman's Ball as being 'One of the Best American comedians', she is among one of the least funny people ive ever met!
From those i would only rate:
Eddie Izzard
Dave Chappell
Mitch Hedberg
Chris Rock
Robin Williams
Billy Connolly
as being any good at stand-up
