I realize with the new specials everyone is riding Chapelle's dick, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Bo Burnham more. That kid has a special something that kills on stage
so Bo Burnham is Dave Chappelle 30 years ago? lol and didnt he retire from standup for now?

I don't see him listed often but Brian Reagan is constantly on a lot of other comics top lists.

Bill Burr's Philadelphia incident was the funniest stand up skit I've ever heard

George Carlin and Richard Pryor were the founding fathers of modern comedy.
Mitch Hedberg:
Was "the best" modern comedian in my book. Comedy preferences are from such a personal view thing it's impossible to say who is the Best-OAT. Hedberg is just another who sadly went way before his time.
So strange that suicide, self destruction, and drug OD's are a plague on those who make us laugh.

Partially in response to this thread - I watched Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979) - and that remains to this day one of the funniest things ever recorded.
He worked so hard on every element - like some of the things I said earlier - Richard worked the entire stage - put his entire body into it, although he was not particularly a "physical" comedian he could have done all of that, Chevy (or Jim Carrey for you youngsters) style - and his use of profanity for emphasis (despite a high quantity) - I feel that he influenced the way people made movies (particularly comedies) and not just stand up.
And the pain - MY GOD - he was able to use pain (apparently the soul of comedy) so well - it really is an art on the level of Rembrandt, Chopin, Kubrick, or whatever equivalent in other artistic endeavors.
