Clean (all-time): Cosby
Clean (contemporary): Jim Gaffigan

Blue (all-time): Carlin (runner up: Richard Pryor)
Blue (contemporary): Dane Cook.

kidding. Chris Rock. Or Ricky Gervais. Certainly not filthy, but not PG, either

I love your break down of Clean vs Blue. I would pick Red Skelton as the beats clean but I loved Cosby also

No one has said Birbiglia yet?

Also the lesser know Dov Davidoff is great

I was just going to comment on this. Mike Birbiglia is my favorite comedian hands down, but I wish he'd release a new CD sometime soon. Listening to "Two Drink Mike" at work today!

His bit about the Baseball Writer's lifetime achievement award is one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

"Chalk up another save for the Eck!"

YouTube - Pablo Francisco - Little Tortilla Boy (Stand-up Comedy)

Great bit, but i don't know how good he is as an overall comedian.
The Late Greg Giraldo was awesome too.

 

[GeronimusClone]

Dan St. Paul and the First Baseball Game may be the funniest (smartest) thing I've ever heard.

[ZJohnson]

Daniel Tosh, Kevin Hart, Katt Williams, Zach G & Dave Chappelle would be my top 5.

 

[peachy]

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.

I like humor, and want to know what everyones favorite stand-up comedian is?

My personal favorite performance is Dave Chappelle's "For What It's Worth"

I love humor, but for whatever reason I just CANNOT get into stand-up. I've actually even tried to force myself to like it, to no avail. I totally respect the talent, but for some reason I just can't get into watching it.
