He went to bed about a decade ago, or whenever he sold his soul to the bankers and the elites.

Pierre Desproges was the most amazing french comedian. I still love him, it's such a shame he died two years after I was born.

"Les Français aiment les escargots. Mais les escargots n'aiment pas les Français. C'est pourquoi les Français doivent se méfier des escargots qui, sous des dehors bon enfant, cachent en réalité une âme de fauve prêt à bondir. Heureusement, grâce à l'amitié franco-espagnole, nous viendrons à bout des escargots.

Les espagnols sont un peuple fier et ombrageux, avec un tout petit cul pour éviter les coups de corne. C'est ce qui fait de l'Espagnol le meilleur allié de la France dans la lutte contre l'escargot.
"

Hm this is stupid I guess no-one will understand this... Nevermind.

In no order:

1) Mitchell Hedberg both strategic Grill Locations and Mitch All Together are great to me

2) Doug Stanhope Sicko, Die Laughing and Deadbeat Hero are awesome awesome awesome, plus he blew my mind last thursday.

3) Bill Cosby his LP's are great to track down, but the video entitled Himself is untouchable.

4)

5)


who cares? Pryor (spotty) Murphy (spotty) Hicks (repetitive catalog), all pretty good, but the three above made me enjoy comedy again.
kerble is right.

1. Richard Pryor. No one funnier while hitting more painful targets.
2. Bill Hicks. Consistently brilliant and visionary.
3. George Carlin. When he was good, he was truly masterful.
4. Lenny Bruce. His body of work is more inconsistent than people are willing to admit, but the high points are Olympian, and he made everything else that followed possible.
5. Tie: Woody Allen/Bill Cosby. Both have been out of the standup game long enough that people tend to forget how good their early work was, but listen to the first few records they made and you'll realize they were really brilliant at what they were doing.
