OMG - Killin' Them Softly SLAYED me! :biglaugh:

David Chappelle: Now this is when I know I'm in a bad neighborhood, you only see this in the worst neighborhoods. Remember, this was 3 o'clock in the morning. I looked out the window, and there was a ******* baby standing on the corner. And the baby didn't even look scared, he was just standing there. And it made me sad you know, because I wanted to help the baby. I was like, "Mm mm I don't trust you either, click! clllick! The old baby-on-the-corner trick, eh? Not gonna fall for that ****. But where is this limousine driver?" As time goes by I start feeling worse, I was like, "What the hell is wrong with me, I'm scared of a baby! But this baby could be in trouble, he may need my help. I gotta do something." But I wasn't gonna get out of the car. I'm serious, man. I just cranked the window open a little bit. "Hey baby! Baby, go home, man! It's 3 o'clock in the morning man, what the **** are you doing up?" The baby says, "I'm selling weed, *****!" . . . "Hey, baby! Stop selling weed, all right, you've got your whole life ahead of you." He goes, "**** you, nigga. I got kids to feed!"


David Chappelle: They got a character on there named Oscar, they treat this guy like **** the entire show. They judge him right in his face, "Oscar you are so mean! Isn't he kids?", "Yeah Oscar! Your a grouch!", its like "*****! I LIVE IN A ******* TRASHCAN!"


David Chappelle: You see my nephew laughing.
David Chappelle: Hehehehe... see sometimes you gotta take the ***** like Pepe.
David Chappelle: I would be like, "No, no, nooooo..."


David Chappelle: Then they had the nerve to put a pimp on there. Now, they didn't go out and say he was a pimp. I know a pimp when I see one. They called him, "The Count". He had a cape on and everything. On the show you see him pimping. "*****, where is my money. You've been late 4 times, I've been counting. How many times must I smack you before you act right. "*Smack*One, *Smack*Two, Two smacks, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha."


David Chappelle: Hello, emergency. Hi. Hey 911 how are you? Yeah, aaahh. Look. There's a group of hooded white men gathering outside my house. And it looks like they mean business. "Get out here ******." I gotta go. You guys try and hurry.

Did you hear the tape?
Cried like a *****.

Can't believe no one has said him yet, but I will..... the Dice Man. I saw his show in Vegas about 8-9 years ago, funniest thing I have ever seen. The way he went after people in the audience was awesome.

Others - Bill Hicks, Steven Wright, Gaffigan.

The Dice Man is like Larry The Cable Guy. One schtick, gets old. Never heard from again.

This.

Dice was all shock. Once that wore off, there wasn't much substance.

And Larry the Cable Guy has never been funny.

I wouldn't say never. He was kinda funny in Cars. Then again, someone was writing his material on that occasion. That being said, it's kinda sad that his shtick was carried over into a Disney movie.

To each his own. I'm comfortable with my "never."

There's a reason guys like that fade away.
Also, did you know Dice wasn't Italian and was Jewish? Born Andrew Clay Silverstein.

 

[GeronimusClone]

I laughed the first time I saw him on that Redneck Comedy DVD. Got old fast when everyone I saw was saying "Get 'er done".

 

[peachy]

All comedians have a "shtick". Dice didn't care what you thought about his attitude, he was raw. He had the same persona on the stage as he did in real life. Say what you will, but his live acts are legendary. Comedians like Dane Cook seem so polished today, I doubt they even write their own material.

 

[mksmith2]

Bo Burnham (When he came to Ames I got to sit in the second row, loved it)
Jeff Dunham (Everytime he has come in recent years I've had to work so I still haven't seen him live)
Bill Cosby
Jim Gaffigan
Gabriel Iglesias
Dane Cook (I agree that his thing tends to get old, but yet I still laugh every time)
Lewis Black
Dennis Leary
Robin Williams
Katt Williams (every time I watch his stand up I am crying even if I've heard it a few times. And generally I wish I could quote him without fear of being killed)

Depending on the state of mind I'm in or what mood I'm in my favorite tends to change up often. As for top 3 I would Say Bo Burnham, Lewis Black, Katt Williams

Jim Gaffigan "Hot Pocket"

Sam Kinison and its not even close for me.. RIP Sam

[Psyclone Brian]

I can't believe George Carlin was only mentioned once in this entire thread!
He will always be the "King" of comedy!

 

[Cyclones26]

Kevin Hart

Dunham is garbage.

 

[Sighclone Fan]

Steven Wright has a very different approach to comedy, but if you haven't heard of him check his stuff out

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Here's another mention for Carlin who I got to see in Ames years ago.
Cosby was who I grew up listening to as a kid, wish his old albums would come out on CD. Finally saw him in DM at the Civic Center a year or so ago and laughter more than any act I have seen and already got my tickets for his return to DM this coming April.

Other favorites
Dane Cook - saw live last month
Bill Engvall - the ONLY blue collar comic I like and got to see and meet him in person when he was in DM a couple of months ago
Lewis Black - who was in Ames before I got into his stuff, hopefully I get another chance
Dave C, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy- his raw show might be near the top of best specials

Could name a few more, love watching stand up comedy

Kevin Hart

Dunham is garbage.

Amen brother, talk about a tired act. Watch a video of him 15 years ago and it's the same act as it is now.

 

[cyclonewino]

Dan St. Paul and the First Baseball Game may be the funniest (smartest) thing I've ever heard.
YouTube - Comedian Dan St. Paul on the Bob and Tom Show

One of the great bits in comedy. Not a big Tim Wilson fan but his uncle bs material is pretty good.

 

[usnclone]

Daniel Tosh. I get to see him live in Denver January 16th.

This. and I'm jealous.
