Title: comedians
Post by: PBurke on December 06, 2006, 02:19:09 PM
with the exception of our favorite bald brother/funny man. who are some of your favorite comedians.     i think one of the funniest one is Rodney Carrington. he does get vulgar, so you probably don't want to take mom to see him but this guy is hilarious. checkhim out@ rodney carrington.com, and let me know what yall think.

Rodney is hilarious and he is even better in person.

I also like Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White

There are some that have been at it for a while that are off the wall, like Robin Williams and Sam Kenison

Just my opinions though

I like Ben Stiller, Mike Myers and Jim Carrey, though Jim Carrey gives me the creeps at times.

I also like Woody Allen. Not quite sure if he's a stand-up comedian, though. Not even sure if he can even stand for the duration of a gig (being in his 70s and all).

Anyway, I think comedians are great and funny, unlike clowns. They're just funny (the other definition of that word, meaning "weird", "strange"). They're evil.
I wonder why parents let them into their homes, even paying them to come. I mean, there's children there and everything...

Lately I've been a big fan of the guys PigPen mentioned along with Bill Engvall (Here's your sign!).

I'm also a fan of Carlos Mencia and Frank Caliendo.  Caliendo is on MadTV and does Madden impressions (here's a guy...) which are absolutely hilarious.

I was just recently introduced to a comedian named Brian Regan. He is hilarious! His comedy is very clean. I think the worse he says is hell and damn so if your family ever watches primetime TV and do not get offended you can have them watch Brian Regan.

Hey Noner, you ever come out to Laff's in Albuqueruque?
Title: Re: comedians
Post by: Noner on December 08, 2006, 03:59:45 PM
I haven't been out there yet. The clubs don't pair for you airfare and its hard enough getting them to pay for for a motel. Maybe if I get som extra cash. Actually, I might be doind small tour to the midwest in the summer of 07. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Noner, that would be supa sweet
Title: Re: comedians
Post by: Robmeister on December 08, 2006, 04:37:36 PM
No...I have to be careful kidding around there...Richards screwed up BIG TIME and I would NEVER condone that sort of thing from ANYBODY.  I actually didn't know he did stand up.

Actually, I'm not too hip on the newcomers, so my favorites are from the old school:

George Carlin
Jerry Seinfeld

I must say I like that "have you ever noticed...." stuff

In recent years Carlin has added more and more angry rants about conservatives and what not...but I'll give him a mulligan on that to get to his classic style.

By the way....can anyone tell me who is a newcomer that does the "have you ever noticed...." vein of classic Carlin and Seinfeld?  Noner...any Carlinites out there?

Mitch Hedberg... RIP, but freakin' hilarious!
Title: Re: comedians
Post by: Robmeister on December 09, 2006, 08:26:30 PM
Hedburg was awesome!  Here are some of his liners:

"Alcoholism is the only disease you can get yelled at for having. 'Damn it, Otto, you're an alcoholic.' 'Damn it, Otto, you have lupus.'..... One of those two doesn't sound right."

"Wearing a turtle-neck is like being strangled by a really weak guy...all damn day! In fact, if you wear a backpack and a turtle-neck, it's like a weak midget trying to bring you down!"

"My hotel doesn't have a 13th floor because of superstition...but you people on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on."

"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said 'No, but I want a regular banana later....so, yeah.'"

"I like escalators because they can't break down. They can only temporarily become stairs."

I saw a human pyramid once. It was very unnecessary. It did not need to exist.

Whenever somebody hands me a flier, it's like they're saying, "Here, *you* throw this away."

Hey, Noner.....any plans to come to Denver?
Title: Re: comedians
Post by: Noner on December 11, 2006, 08:46:58 AM
Well Denver, is a bit expensive for me. I'm not on comedy central yet and after flight, room and food, sometimes it costs me money to do a gig.

I just did chicago last summer so I will hopefully do it again in September 07.

I'm still working on a schedule.

For stand up comedy I really like Dylan Moran, he's brilliant, an Irish guy... big fan. Look for his DVD "Monster".

Also Bill Bailey, George Carlin, Dane Cook and Mark Day.

Used to dig Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy from their stand up days.

I'll go along with Mitch. He was a Mpls guy. I love catching his stuff on XM 150. "We never give the sesame seed its full potential. But what is a Sesame........its a way to open things and .........a street!!

Man I love that bit.

Dane Cook is another funny dude.

Yeah, Chicago is cool and the lay-days are great. They are much friendlier than NYC.

(But I love the NYC attitude.)


I have some great stories about lawn chairs in Chicago if you get a few beers in me.

I used to go to a lot of comedy shows when I lived in the East Bay Area. Comedians I got to see live included Bobby Slayton (love him), Carlin, Williams, Paul Mooney (Negrodamus, Good Times....personally, I think he hates white people & conservatives), Doug Ferrari, and Will Durst (leftist now turned radio host).

Nowadays for comedy I listen to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Charles Rangel, and Joe Biden.

Oh, Rodney Carrington & Ron White rock.
