He's top of the list for me. Even if I was lucky to see him and he bombed, I couldn't hold the one performance against him.


I saw him at the Improv in west palm a year or two before he died. I have never laughed so hard. He was awesome. My buddy’s drip of a wife religious teetotaler, sat there with a stone face the whole time. Some people get it, some don’t. She didn’t get it because she was no fun and dense.

Any comedian with a 1 dimensional shtick is unfunny. So Ralphie May, Gabriel Iglesias, Jeff Dunham for sure.

Jay Leno. I never understood why they replaced Johnny Carson with Jay Leno, he was never that funny.

Chris Rock—He’s terrible


Bigger and Blacker is one of the funniest standups I've ever seen. Eddie Murphy Raw is my favorite but Bigger and Blacker is close.

He has a few good standups, but as for as him in movies.. They are just not funny.

You don’t like Jumanji? Dude.

And my answer is Trevor Noah. Bill Mahr is a dick, but he can be really funny every once in a while when he speaks honestly.

Trevor Noah’s entire bit is “Trump said poop. He’s so stupid, right?”(Applause, Applause.)

How has Will Ferrell not been mentioned yet?

Terrible, one dimensional actor.



Well he’s not a stand up comedian so that’s probably why he hasn’t been mentioned

His podcast is fascinating but Joe Rogan’s standup just isn’t funny to me



It's not top tier but I definitely laughed at his specials. His bit about Noah's ark and the retarded child is hilarious.

I have a buddy who's a big name in the standup scene and he once told me that Aziz is pretty hated amongst the NYC comedy circles. Apparently he use the be really cool then Parks n Recs happened and his ego exploded.


It doesn't help that his real life experience mirrors his character on Master of None.

His parents are rich immigrants. They paid for him to go to NYU, then to have an apartment in New York and work on his stand-up full time.

He's the antithesis of the comics from the South or the Midwest who had to grind out careers on the road, sometimes for decades, to perfect their craft and reach a level of financial stability where they could afford to settle in New York or LA.

Another guy I should have mentioned is Doug Stanhope. He really stretches one joke out for 4-5 minutes, and it’s kind of like watching a guy imitate Denis Leary imitate Bill Hicks.
