Most comics say that at his stand-up peak, Jay Leno was unbelievable. Not my cup of tea.

First time I watched a Sam Kinison routine I laughed so hard tears were rolling down my face.

A lot of great comedians mentioned in this thread.

Any list that doesn't have Pryor up there real near the top is just ridiculous.

No kidding. Daniel Tosh is way funnier than over half of the dudes mentioned in this thread.

The late great Ollie Joe Prater. I had the pleasure of drinking with him for about 2 hours after his show one night. There were just 4 of us at the table and he was a really nice guy and just as funny off the stage.

Language is NSFW and NOT politically correct. Listen to the first joke and you'll understand.

Absolutely filthy material, but I find Jackie the joke man to be hilarious. His delivery and enthusiasm crack me up.

Not the best or one of the best of all time but someone I personally find funny over and over.

Dave Attell is underrated. He makes me cry.

Carlin is the goat.

Pryor is overrated.

Chappelle is the funniest black comedian and IMO the funniest comedian of all time.

Seinfeld?

I only question this because his standup isn't that great.

TV show? Awesome. Maybe the greatest ever. I will use linesome every day. Just don't give the same credit to his actual standup.
