Finally...someone agrees with me on Carlin.
His shite is so overrated.
But in all seriousness...

Comedians who base their entire act on their weight can't be funny for long.
Have you even watched his standup before? John Pinette bases the majority of his act on eating and being overweight but not Iglesias or even Ralphie May.
Iglesias does sound effects almost as good as Michael Winslow and has a relatively clean act that can be accessible for younger audience members.
His weight was barely mentioned in his Hawaii performance.

For his five minutes on the origin of golf alone he should never be on a sucks list.
I am continually coming across excellent stand up routines on netflix by people I had never heard of.

Very serious.
Carlin is ok...but nowhere near the greatest.
I will crack a smile at his fairly obvious observations from time to time...but I never belly laugh at any of his bits.

I loved his first two television performances but that Detroit special was absolutely terrible at times.

He's probably the wittiest comedian ever to grace the stage and his longevity is unparalleled. He never recycled his previous material and every special he would create an entirely new routine.
Which of his performances have you watched?

Zach Galifinakis live at the purple onion is one of the best ever
WTF. His bit on cocaine is absolutely brilliant

Amy Schumer
Nate Bargatze is entirely too underrated, but he'll explode soon now that he's business partners with Fallon.
Chelsea Peretti
Hannibal is probably the best non-superstar.

And has no one brought up Bo Burnham yet? He's probably my favorite comedic mind right now.

and Bill Burr is arguably the biggest stand up act right now
I am a huge Burr fan, but I did not care for his latest show at the Civic. Maybe it was the fact I had to make a mad dash over to the arena for game 3 that had me semi distracted, but he went into a 20 minute long segment on women spending too much money that was neither funny nor original. It was just inflammatory to be inflammatory. Walked out early and didn't even feel bad. Not because of some moral high ground, but because I just wasn't entertained and would rather watch basketball for the 80th time this year. His opening comedian was solid though. The first 20 minutes were typical Burr and funny as well.

Tosh kills it in his specials. Although each one has been worse than the one before it. His first big set in Cali that got him started is awesome from start to finish

I've always liked Titus

I also like Kathleen Madigan and Stephen Wright
Both solid choices. I've been listening to the Comedy channels on XM lately. Stephen Wright is just so dry at times, but it is hilarious.
Jon Pinette
Jon Caparoulo
Ralphie May can be hilarious at times, overbearing at others
Some of the "southern" comics they play on the Foxworthy channel are good. I think her name is Jeanne Robertson, or Robinson. But every time one of her bits comes up I listen and laugh.

Jeanne Robertson
She is very good. More of a story teller than a classic comic. Her story about sending her husband, whom she calls "Left Brain" to the store to get ingredients for pound cake is great.

Supreme Court just wiped out a lot of material for a lot of these guys

Bret Ernst isnt the best, but every now and then he has a few bits that I find hilarious.
