eorge Carlin
+204Friend of my mine introduced him to me couple of years ago. Since then, he's my favorite. Very observant and analytical to the bone. His material is educative and stimulates logical thinking. Worth watching again and again.
+142I have to agree that Carlin is the best of the best... He not only jokes but he's serious about what he saying and makes perfect sense and what he says is fact..
+109This guy has to be the best stand-up comedian ever! I am not American, not even a native English speaker, but I read 2 of his books, and I Know all his specials!
2Russell Peters
+398The best stand up comedy I've ever seen was red white and brown. I just laughed through out the damn show.
+280He is Awesome... Comedian I ever seen, I used to watch all his comedy shows and I recommend people to watch it. I love his accent of all different nationalities. In simple... I love him.
+234There is lots of funny people but if I had to pick 1 it would be R.P.
3Dave Chappelle
+145Never seen the Chapelle Show, so this is just based on his stand up gigs.
I think he's hilarious and it's so refreshing to see a black comic that doesn't just base 100% of their jokes on those boring "black people this white people that" nonsense he's got the right balance and I love the voice he puts on when he's pretending to be one of his white friends

+132His white accent is the best, hands down one of the best stand up comedians in history.
+124FUNNIEST GUY EVER! I love it when he switches from his real voice to a white mans voice. BRILLIANT!
4Louis C. K.
+133Clearly number 1. I've never laughed so hard in my life before listening to Hilarious. (His latest stand-up performance)
+78The best out there today by a long shot. Not only does he speak so many true statements about everyday life that people never think about until they hear it but he makes it absolutely hilarious! To me he is so much funnier than Dane Cook could ever hope to be and I believe he rivals the greats of Robin Williams and George Carlin. If he continues to come out with more stuff as good or funnier than what he has out right now, I believe that he will go down as the best comedian of all time.
+69I watch his show every week, he has me on the floor laughing every time I see his stand up, especially his special 'Hilarious'
5Chris Rock
+70Funniest guy I have ever seen! There are a lot of people in Russia who likes his jokes
Wait for him in Moscow
Wait for him in Moscow
+64funniest guy I've ever seen he has a lot of fans in Bulgaria, we wait him here.
+50Chris rock he's the best, he sets up his jokes very well and he makes sense
6Robin Williams
+96On MJ's death - a doctor said: "Taking propofol to sleep is like taking chemotherapy because you're tired of shaving your head! "
+80'We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture. '
+65hands down the best at ad lib quickest thinking comedian ever
7Richard Pryor
+67I think a a lot of younger people voted on this list. Richard pryor is by far one of the funniest people to grace this earth. Its a shame he's so far down, let alone on the contenders list.
+39Richard Pryor is the measuring stick of all comedians.. He was the best.. and always will be
+31EVERYONE over the age of 40 knows that Pryor was the king. Ask any of the comedians on this list (the ones still living I mean) and they will tell you he was GOD!
8Bill Hicks
+29Alright, I want to put it to everyone like this. What is comedy supposed to be? Is it just supposed to make us laugh or is the truth of the matter more important. I will argue that the greatest comedians have the ability, talent, and heart to not only make us laugh hysterically, but to bring into question our thoughts/philosophies and cultural beliefs. I would even argue that this is the purpose of comedy itself; education, knowledge, and greater conscious understanding through the human feeling and enjoyment of laughter. When it came to this purpose no one f put it down like Bill Hicks, George Carlin and Lenny Bruce were the only two in the same ball park as this genius. I am one of those people who claim that he was in a sense a prophet because he spoke to America(and the world) about a future in which he foresaw that basically parallels our own present period. Have you looked around at the world recently? Corporate domination of our lives and society through the deception of consumerism and advertisement. Religion run amok in fundamentalism, and literal translations of sacred texts. Ronald Regan being called a great president and Ayn Rand being compared to classical philosophers that embodied truth instead of lies and distortions to merely meet their own ends; or that of their employers. Corporations buying up American culture through the guise of easy entertainment and the marginalization of authentic art. Money spent on war and defense instead of feeding poor and starving people within our own country and that of impoverished countries (not underdeveloped, impoverished! ). Also discusses peoples patriotic stupidity to a government that clearly has demonstrated time and time again that it doesn't give a f that we have been put through from our schools, our government, our religions, and our jobs. He was so far ahead of his time, its not even fair to compare Hicks to the other comedians, even though some of them are really good. Bill's name will undoubtedly live on because his talent wasn't just getting you to laugh, but to also see reality as it is actualized and not how our feeble indoctrinated minds want to comprehend it. I guarantee you, If he was around today, he would be calling most of the people ahead of him on this list shills and "suckers of Satan's c***" along with the vast majority of musical acts today. Bring back the good and talented musical acts our generation grew up listening to in the 90's/early 2000's like Nirvana, 2Pac, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sublime, Biggie, Eminem(he is still legit), Wu-Tang Clan etc. And put these fools like Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Toby Keith, pretty much any contemporary country or rock band, Jay-Z(sold out), LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, Drake etc. On the chopping block and our society may start to gain its consciousness back. Until then, fight the fight in your mind and spread truth to others and Bill Hick's legacy will never disappear. My generation needs to wake up and get their heads out of their own asses! I could only imagine what Hicks would have said in the midst of the stupidity of social networking and the mindless sheep inhabiting the websites of Facebook and Twitter. I honestly wish he was around today because we need such an honest, intelligent, and good person in times of the sheer ignorance and banality that people pass for today. Rest in Peace to one of America's finest heroes and forgotten patriots!
+30The best and most ingenious comedian of modern times. He makes jokes and satirizes the stupidity of our way of life that we think is so important. He talks about issues most comedians wouldn't dare touch because they are fake and don't really have much to say. Topics discussed include the government, smoking cigarettes, religion & hypocrisy, consumerism & advertisement, selling out in music as well as just talking about stupid people in general. He also is one of the only comedians today that bring up the issue of mind altering drugs as helping society instead of harming it as so many people claim. His sketch on Marijuana vs Alcohol is one of the best of all time sketches in my opinion and brings to life undeniable truths about pot. Like he said, seriously if you are against drugs, than you need to delete all your music, cause most of the good songs were probably made by people using drugs. Bill ingeniously argues that drugs take us to higher point in thinking and creativity that we could use to solve our problems. I know this idea is not a popular opinion, but it is one that he believed in and defended. The way he did his sets made you understand that he was merely doing comedy as an outlet to express hidden possibilities in his mind that he observed from the larger world. No one has yet to reach his level of comedy and satire. Him along with George Carlin should be on top of every list of the best comedians.
+58The best social critic of all time and fall over pee yourself a little funny, but only to smart people. He was too honest and real to reach the mainstream in the pre-internet 80's-early 90's. For a man who died at just 32, he left a large body of intellectually mature work, and some great jokes.
9Daniel Tosh
+67Daniel Tosh is thoroughly funny. He has no limits, no boundaries he wont push. He isn't afraid of making the crowd gasp, in fact, I think he enjoys it. He is "HILARIOUS, " if Louis C. K doesn't mind my use of the word. I enjoy his show "Tosh.0", but for the REAL DEAL you have to check out his hour special, "Completely Serious". He's a comic genius.
"My girlfriend is Korean... For this joke. "
"My girlfriend is Korean... For this joke. "
+35Should be #1 or at least #2, He is the best comedian I've ever seen and I've seen all of these people. Plus he has a top rated show Tosh.0 and is becoming a household name.
Just saying, If you want to laugh, Daniel Tosh is the way to go.
P.S. why is Dane Cook even on this list?

+30He's like Dane Cook, if Dane Cook actually told jokes.
10Eddie Murphy
+66How can this guy not be better then Chris Rock! Chris started out because of him. nuff said
+41When we talk about his stand-up comedy... it is enough to say: WATCH "DELIRIOUS" AND "RAW" So funny!
+30He has always been my favorite, especially when he played in "COMING TO AMERICA" I have always loved Eddie Murphy, he will always be one of my all time favorites. Great job Eddie Murphy and keep up the good work!
