killamch89 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 The two best stand-up comedians I have ever watched and love rewatching their shows are Dave Chappelle and Katt Williams. Both do not write scripts when preparing for their shows which makes their jokes more authentic and organic than many others as well as they aren't afraid to touch certain very sensitive topics which they can receive backlash for. There is also a lot of truth and information behind the jokes they tell. Who are your favorite stand-up comedians and why?
Jayson Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Hands down, it would have to be the late George Carlin. After that, I find the late Rodney Dangerfield and Andrew Dice Clay to be funny. Anyway, even though I find the comedy funny - I don't always agree with their worldview. It's just funny to listen to their worldview.
The Blackangel Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 To me the godfather of stand up will always be Robin Williams. He was the king. But since his passing I would have to say my favorites are Felipe Esparza, Gabriel Iglesias, Ron White, and Jeff Dunham. In that order.

Gabriel Iglesias is pretty hilarious to be fair but Robin will always be a legend.
DylanC Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I quite like Ricky Gervais and a bit of Frankie Boyle now and again.

The Blackangel Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Come on Hollywood. Can we just leave movies alone, and leave them as the classics they already are? These remakes, and 30 years later sequels are only ruining what were great movies. Edited August 23, 2019 by The Blackangel killamch89 1

I am in total agreement and the part that kills me is the political correctedness which they try to add in to the movie which completely ruins it.
Peterlight Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Keys and Peele & Kelvin hart I think they are phenomenal
ZandraJoi Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 Jim Gaffigan, John Pinette are some of the ones I like. I will have to add in Bill Cosby too. Regardless of what goes on with the media, I can still enjoy somebody's talent. We've even seen him at a show many years ago. He was always quite funny & I've recently watched some of his shows again from the 1980's. Timeless classics!
