Who you got?

George Carlin
Andy Koffman
Richard Pryor
Lenny Bruce

Honorable mention goes out to Joan Rivers and Steve Martin, both of which I really debated taking out Carlin for (as I feel Lenny Bruce really revolutionized what Carlin would go on to do).

Rodney Dangerfield (his face would look hilarious carved on the side of a mountain)
Eddie Murphy
Dave Attell

Those are mine based largely on my age and when they were big.

Honorable mention for Cosby for the pretending to be a great family man instead of a serial rapist.

I never saw the punchline coming but it was foreshadowed the whole time when you watch the clips of him dancing during the Cosby Show introduction.

Chappelle
Carlin
Pryor
Murphy

Some of the names mentioned are pretty great (Kinison being the main one) but they either burned out or are pretty dated.

Personal favorites:

Carlin
Chappelle
Norm
Mitch/Gillis - Mitch is dumb as hell but I always liked him. Gillis is solid as it gets right now.
