Or pizza cutters? That’s been a hot topic lately

This probably won’t resonate with most here but the Blue Collar Comedy guys were great. Foxworthy, Engvall, White, and Larry the cable guy. They proved you don’t need to be explicit to be funny. Disclaimer, I’m a middle aged white dude who grew up in Iowa. They would be solid 8/9 seeds. That being said, my number 1 seeds would be: Murphy, Carlin, Rock, and Pryor.
Agree, I'd probably rank them Engvall, Foxworthy, White, Larry. Know most would have foxworthy first but Engvall just hits right with me more.
I'm hoping the majority of CFers didn't just stop listening to stand-up, but I guess we'll see. I'm sure some will get locked into their comfy favorites, but I hope people don't just vote for the familiar without listening to some clips of the competition. There are so many fantastic new comedians, so matchups will be the difference maker for me.
Longevity is going to be polarizing for some. Carlin was fantastic for so long, but he became more bitter than funny at the end. Eddie Murphy would have been in my final 4 20-25 years ago, but I don't think he is still there today.
Gaffigan was one of my favorites, but I saw him live a few years ago and he's kinda become a caricature of himself. Meanwhile, Bargatze has become the new 'clean' comedian that I love, but if these two faced off, do I punish or reward Gaffigan for doing it longer? Meanwhile, someone like Hedberg had some absolutely great stuff, but we'll never know how his material would have been had he been going for another 10-15 years.
It's been almost 10 years but if I recall we tried that once and couldn't finish it because it got very toxic.
Best poster, but instead of using the heart and rainbow emojis to vote, you use dumb and puke just to keep egos in check.
I appreciate each. Was just pointing out that those guys are also very funny. I think Chris Rock’s Bring The Pain is probably the funniest standup special ever.
Whatever happened to the guy who used to list who his favorite CF'ers were in every post?
Will any wimmins be innit, or are they getting the short end of the...schtick?
For example...Moms Mabley.
Also, if Flip Wilson doesn't make the cut...remember Geraldine Jones?
Know it well because I headed it up. People couldn't handle it and it got squashed. As the person organizing it I took the failure of it hard to the point where it got me very depressed to the point I very much considered ending things.
For the older generation on here can someone point me to what Lenny Bruce's best stuff to listen to is? I hear about him being a comedy great, but listened to his Carnegie Hall show and didn't find much amusing.
I'd help with the committee if it's stand up comedians. But I'll only be of any use during work hours and I will do my damnedest to make John Mulaney a 1 seed.
I would be the #1 overall seed and then get upset by some ****** #16 seed like @CoachHines3 or @Gunnerclone .
