George Carlin will always be the best. His sharp wit and intelligence made him the best. He made us laugh at the truth and ourselves.

FYI: Carlin had an IQ of 166.

[tommymageeshemales2]

Love Carlin!

He may have discussed the inconvenient truths of Americans, and people in general, but George Carlin, just like Bill Hicks, was not funny. What famous "gags" did he have? None.

He was a moany character who articulated points reasonably well but someone to induce laughter??? No chance.

Disagree totally. There was a time in the 80's when Carlin was the hottest act out there. Granted comedy is subjective, and you may not have doubled over at his act...but his popularity would disprove your criticism....or maybe you just weren't stoned in the 80's. lol

Rowan Atkinson. English, very English
I love Brittish humour in general. But Atkinson in particular is so great! We used to love his Mr Bean show. It was on fridays here; often we had something else to do but we would take the time to watch it anyways. To me, the greatest thing about that show was the existential depth (I wouldn't go as far as saying "metaphysical" depth, but he was able through pure clowning, to express some very deep questions about our life and our society). Do you remember the beggining of the show? He suddenly is thrown on the set with a ray of light! Just expressing how we are thrown away on this world and completely left to ourselves. And the topics of the show were always the same: the loneliness, the abandonment of the individual, the impossiblity to reach the other, to create a real link, the opposition of the ego and the human desire to share! It was a brilliant show, much deeper than it seemed at first sight!

I hated Mr Bean. Loved Blackadder.

[Prospero]

And of course the final episode of Blackadder is pure genius - mixing deep humour with dark tragedy

[danthepoetman]

I hated Mr Bean. Loved Blackadder.
You know, at some point my girlfriend told me: "Let's stop watching this; it's too sad!" And indeed, it was! Clowning! but how sad! and how true! Maybe that was the point!

[danthepoetman]

And of course the final episode of Blackadder is pure genius - mixing deep humour with dark tragedy
Never saw that. Maybe it's not yet around here.

[Prospero]

It was years ago Dan... and was set in the first world war. Utter genius. You should seek it out.

[danthepoetman]

I will!

[robertlouis]

And of course the final episode of Blackadder is pure genius - mixing deep humour with dark tragedy

I wept. I suspect a lot of people did that first time it was shown.

[Prospero]

Me too... but not tears of laughter

[robertlouis]

It was years ago Dan... and was set in the first world war. Utter genius. You should seek it out.

It was actually four series, Dan, set in different eras of history, starting in the Wars of the Roses, moving on to Elizabethan times, then Georgian and finally, and most memorably, the First World War.

Part of the genius was that two characters, Edmund Blackadder and his hapless servant Baldric were played in all four series by the same actors, Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson respectively. And while everything around them changed, their characters didn't.

There's a BBC boxed set, which I have, featuring all four series and a Christmas special that they did, loosely based on A Christmas Carol. But Series 4, in the First World War, is the gem.

[robertlouis]

Me too... but not tears of laughter

The impact of that one series on British attitudes to the folly and sacrifice of that war has been profound. For the younger generations it was the first real attempt to connect them to the carnage, and the renewed respect for the war dead stems to some degree at least from Blackadder.

[danthepoetman]

I think I found just about all of it on YouTube!

[Prospero]

But don't watch just a clip dan... it has to be watched in its wider context!

[nevada64]

The great Sam Kinison.

[robertlouis]

The great Sam Kinison.

He appeared in a curious show that Rich Hall did in the UK a few years back which combined comedy and fishing.

That's right, fishing.

[Prospero]

Fisting? Good grief....

[danthepoetman]

But don't watch just a clip dan... it has to be watched in its wider context!
Yes, you're right: I realise they're mostly disparate clips; a lot of them, sometimes in succession, but many in disorder. Shame.

If you've got a Region 2 player, less than £16 for the full set, Dan.

[DCGuy343]

Red Foxx was one of my alltime favs.

[surf4490]

"Blackadder" and "Only Fools and Horses" are the pinnacle of British tv comedy

[Prospero]

I cannot bother to find clips right now but I'd add the Monty Python team including John Cleese for Faulty Towers, Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Tony Hancock to the list of all time greats.

[surf4490]

Faulty was brill pity they only made 13 episodes

[Tiffany Starr]

I really enjoy Jim Jeffries. I may start doing some stand up myself. I have a lot of great jokes and can come up with some great material. Hope none of you mind Dirty or obscene jokes :-P

My favorite comedian of all time is the late great Mitch Hedberg, because Mitch could make you laugh at everyday stuff that shouldn't be funny. He pointed out that the world could be an amazing funny place to live. There are no dirty jokes in these clips. But they are crazy funny.


This is Mitch talking about buying Donuts. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p0sr2BejUk)

Scottish comic, Billy Connolly has always been a scream!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1enmyAmpik

[Stavros]

Sorry, not in my house -arrogant, bad-tempered and not in the least bit funny. Someone I once worked with went up to him in a pub around the corner from the BBC in Portland Place just to say something pleasant and Connolly told him to 'fuck off', which sums him up in two words.

George Carlin is my favorite stand-up comic of all-time. Louis CK is my favorite of today. As far as comedy I like the goofiness of Adult Swim with all the great 15 minute quick-hit shows they have.

I'm sure some people hate stuff like this but I love it. Could be the dope.
