Eddie Murphy Raw is my favorite. I was 7 when that came out and we had HBO. It was very influential.

Martin Lawrence "You So Crazy" and Chappelle KTS are the two I always immediately think of. That's just me though

Katt Wiliams is horrible. Not even in the same solar system with the greatest stand up comics of all time.

I think Katt Williams' " Pimp Chronicles " beat KTS.. but neither are remotely close to the weakest act of Carlin or Pryor.

I don't know if I can say that it's the absolute best, but it's definitely top tier. It is my personal favorite.

his second one is up there too, can't remember the name


For What It's Worth. Very good also. It's the one that brought us "grape drink."

I think that he is generally pretty smart for a comedian, but he did say something pretty stupid in this one. One of his jokes claimed that George Washington wrote the Declaration of Independence. It was a bit of a head shaking moment for me. He could have easily pulled of the joke without looking ignorant like that.

Its great. I can watch it over and over and it never gets old.

For What It's Worth is my favorite of Chappelle's standup though

Louis C.K. has a couple that are better than Killin Them Softly, IMO.

His story about the deer that hit his car is the funniest fricking thing I've ever heard in a stand-up.

I would pick Eddie Murphy's Delirious for GOAT act, and Pryor as GOAT.

Pryor, Carlin, Murphy, Rock all way better than Chappelle KTS, but that is a great hour of stand up. I am also a huge fan of Jamie Foxx's "I Might Need Security". Those 2 acts are about on the same level for me

Everyone brings up Raw, but Delirious is vastly superior.
