September 12, 201312 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 01:12 PM) http://www.imdb.com/list/xqtUYuXCxaM/ Agree? Disagree? Other than #9 and #10, yes, I disagree. #1 hasn't made me laugh in about 5 years now, and the rest of them almost never have, including the Internets infallible Galafinakis, who I find completely overrated.
September 12, 201312 yr Who is? And Chappelle is terrible right now. He used to be great, but that was before the freak out.
September 12, 201312 yr I have no idea how Chapelle is #1 here. Honestly, I never thought his standup was great. His show was awesome. Louis CK is amazing.
September 12, 201312 yr Why does it say "Current" and include Dave Chappelle? That makes no sense, he hasn't been relevant in half a decade. Louis CK needs to be #1, and Jim Jeffries needs to be in the top 5 with Kevin Hart, Daniel Tosh, and Aziz.
September 12, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) Also, Jim Gaffigan should be somewhere around 6-10. Agree. I'd throw in Anthony Jeselnik as well. I have no idea who Rickey Smiley is.
September 12, 201312 yr Yea Louie is one of the best if not the best stand ups out there, I would put him at #1 and not worry about it. I saw Chappelle at the Oddball Comedy tour a few weeks back, he was funny but wasn't even the best at the show (he just wasn't as into it as you would expect someone doing stand up would be). Hannibal Buress was the star of the show imo.

September 12, 201312 yr Kevin Hart and Tosh are awesome, Aziz I never thought was funny until the roast last week...he was hilarious there. And as everyone else said, Chapelle? Really?

And as everyone else said, Chapelle? Really? A lot of them have their moments, but at the moment, I don't think anyone is funnier than CK and Gaffigan. Silverman even being in the top 10 of comedians is a joke, same with Chapelle like this was still 2004...but at least Chapelle could be argued for in a past context...why the f*** Silverman is there at all is indefensible.

September 12, 201312 yr Chapelle certainly isnt nearly as relevant as he was in the past but his "Killin em Softly" special is imo the best stand up comedy ever. I agree he shouldnt be on the current list, just wanted to chime in on how great I thought that special was.
September 13, 201312 yr Love Bill Burr. His podcast is a must-listen for me. Others who consistently make me laugh these days are Brian Regan, Patton Oswalt, and Brian Posehn.

September 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 10:51 PM) Ansari is kind of light, I find myself drawn to more explicit comics but my god did he kill that roast. I am another one who was shocked Louis CK was 10. That guy puts out a special every year that never disappoints. He's almost revolutionary in stand up. I trust you listen to Jeselnik and Jeffries then, right?
September 13, 201312 yr Some of my current favs, in no particular order: Louis CK Daniel Tosh Anthony Jeselnik Amy Schumer Sebastian Maniscalco Jim Gaffigan Brian Regan Jeff Ross Sarah Silverman Pete Holmes John Mulaney Hannibal Buress Ronald Funches James Adomian John Oliver Al Madrigal David Cross Chris Rock TJ Miller Kumail Nanjiani Patton Oswalt Andy Kindler Neil Hamburger Eugene Mirman I'm probably missing a ton more.

September 13, 201312 yr If we are talking underrated comedians you may never heard of, I'd like to toss Kyle Kinane and Tommy Johnagin in the group. Both are Chicago comedians, both are pretty solid. Edited September 13, 201312 yr by Chilihead90
