In this world, we have encountered so many great and legendary comedians.

They may be big...



They may be small...



They may be ones that we might regret for actually admiring...



They may be ones that still need psychological evaluation...





And others maybe slightly different compared to the ones above. I don't know, maybe you can point out the difference...



But at the end, who's yo favorite?!

If I had to pick just one, it HAS to be my man Steve Harvey. I can truly say that Steve is definitely one of the greatest comedians to EVER live, ever since watching his show in the 90s, to his podcasts and radio stations, to becoming easily the greatest host of Family Feud ever..







There really is nothing more for me to explain...god bless Steve.

Jimmy Carr.

Seen him live a bunch of times and he's hilarious.

i really enjoy kevin hart's work (fight me)

Steven Wright, Emo Philips, Mitch Hedberg (RIP), Zack Galifianakis, Jimmy Carr is good, Craig Ferguson is good, Patrice O'Neal was amazing, I liked Eddie Murphy in the day, Kyle Kinane is pretty good, as is wrestling fan and asian school girl Ron Funches.  Hannibal Buress is the man, and not just because of him re-outing Cosby as a rapist.  Chris Porter is OK, Brian Posehn is good (he's either currently or was the writer for Deadpool, and is funny in everything), Lewis Black is my hero, Patton Oswald is good sometimes.  Gilbert Gottfried is good in a groany way,same with Norm MacDonald.  Bobcat Goldthwait is good, but his set hasn't changed in almost two decades.  He's a good director, too.  God Bless America was awesome.  I had a few more pop in and out of my head, but yeah...oh, David Cross.  David Cross is amazing.

Kevin Hart byfar,

I am a huge fan of Jeff Dunham. Yes, I admit it. I also love listening to Mark Lowry, Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Engvall and a few others.

Dead or alive, George Carlin.

Carlin, Iglesias, Burr, Dunham, White, Harvey, and Titus. In that order.

Also gotta chip in Izzard, Conan and Chris Rock.

Bill Burr, Bo Burnham, Louis CK, and Lewis Black

Louis CK, Bill Burr, and Hannibal Burress.

Patton Oswalt...sometimes. He can get kinda irritating after awhile.

Lewis Black for his rage.  George Carlin for his cynicism.  Patton Oswald for his nerdity.  Mitch Hedberg for non sequiturs.

Dave Chapelle, Louis CK, George Carlin, Daniel Tosh, Joe Rogan, Duncan Trussell, list goes on Not an aficionado of comedy but I've heard many many names but the ones I've listed are probably who I hear the most.

Forgot about Patton Oswalt. His appearances in Brooklyn Nine Nine are truly hilarious, and his skits are just golden. Joe Rogan though, no question about it.

TLA

In general, my favorite is Chris Rock. He's come far in his career and is doing much better work now that he's producing and directing his own stuff.

For stand-up I'm going to say Louis C.K. It's like he's George Carlin's successor.

Favorite Dead Comedian: Richard Pryor. He basically set the stage for Eddie Murphy.

For Television/Movies: Patton Oswalt. I would never get tired of seeing his face, even if he was on every show in existence.

Lewis Black
Daniel Tosh
Jeff Dunham
Jim Gaffigan
Denis Leary

Not sure whether I have a favourite comedian, I love most of them. Most of the names mentioned already are pretty hilarious dudes but I'll name a few that haven't yet been mentioned.

Fear of a Brown Planet (Aamer Rahman and Nazeem Hussain), Akmal Saleh, Arj Barker, Sammy J and Randy, Russell Peters, Rove McManus, Peter Helliar, Lano and Woodley, Adam Hills, Jim Jeffries, Wil Anderson, Carl Barron, Anh Do, Tim Minchin, Hamish and Andy, Chris Lilley, Joel Creasey, Shaun Micallef, Stephen Curry.

I should probably stop. As you probably guessed, with the exception of Russell Peters... they're all Aussie.

Dane Cook and Kevin Hart duh

I've got a list of around 5 people that I really like

Frank Caliendo
Will Sasso
Russell Peters
Dave Letterman - Sheerly because I grew up watching the Late Show.
Jeff Dunham

Yes, this is probably the whitest a list can get if you remove Russell.
