A couple of obscure ones that you may never have heard of;

Steven Wright
Emo Philips
Phil Van Tee
Charles Fleischer
Wally Boag
The Flying Karamazov Brothers

Pity they probably will never be on Sirius since the kind of comedy these guys do isn't the kind of stuff that is currently "popular".

In the past:
Sam Kinison was my all time favorite.
Richard Pryor - changed the comedy landscape
Bill Cosby (He was funny when I was young. Now I'm a parent and he's a riot. Y'all - rent Bill Cosby's "Himself.")
Rodney Dangerfield - he changed the comedy landscape.

Some present day guys that I'm pretty fond of are Dave Attel and Robert Schimmel.

Steven Wright . . .



Steven Wright is definitely funny, but I would hardly consider him to be obscure.

One of my favorite comedians is Ron White. Can't think of many others that I currently like.

Richard Pryor was KING in his prime.. But before him was Redd Foxx. His older Stand up stuff was great.

Robin Williams Stand up is also Classic. I can only imagine what it would have been like to Hit the town with Him and Belushi during their heyday.

The original Gallagher routines were great the first few time I saw them.

When Dice first came out it was funny for a few minutes.. The first time you heard it anyway.

Penn & Teller are probably my favorites that are still performing.

Livendive introduced me to Tucker Max . . . that is some funny shit.

He and Muttley and I laughed our asses off on the way to LP last year.

Definitely not Dane Cook, though. That guy is not even close to being funny.



It must be a generational thing -- I know people in their early 20's that find Dane Cook hilarious.

I watch him and also find him to be completely un-funny (though I do credit him for being a fine public speaker).

I suppose humor changes over time. Makes me feel old.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
