September 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 07:57 AM) Jeselnik is my favorite I enjoyed his stand-up special, but his show is a giant flaming turd, holy hell. The only funny parts were when he had guests on the show.

September 13, 201312 yr 1. Dave Chappelle - Funny 10 years ago. Not so much anymore. 2. Kevin Hart - Used to like him, but he's getting a little annoying and is shoved down our throats too much. 3. Aziz Ansari - Hilarious. Whether it be Parks and Rec or standup. Good all around. 4. Rickey Smiley - Never heard of him. 5. Zach Galifanakis - Yes. Been a fan from way back before he got big. 6. Daniel Tosh - Yes and no. Hilarious at times, but really misses the mark others. 7. Hannibal Buress - Have not heard a ton, but is hilarious when he's on Bob and Tom. 8. Sarah Silverman - Always thought she was overrated. 9. Bill Burr - Not real familiar with his work. The little I've seen has been good. 10. Louis C.K. - The best comedian performing today. Hands down. Other good ones not mentioned - Jim Gaffigan, Tom Green (his standup is hilarious), David Cross, Mike Birbiglia, and many others. Who I can't stand - Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Shumer, Terry Fator
September 13, 201312 yr Kinane went to my high school. I remember he had a special on CC a few years ago and my facebook blowing up about it.

September 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 03:51 PM) Mike Birbiglia is hilarious. I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet. He's fantastic, good call.
September 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 12:56 AM) 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. Tommy Johnagin is from Benton, IL. Home of Doug Collins & John Malkovich.
September 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) Tommy Johnagin is from Benton, IL. Home of Doug Collins & John Malkovich. More or less I meant I am pretty sure they both came up through the Chicago comedy scene. I could be wrong.

Who I can't stand - Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Shumer, Terry Fator Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention her. Amy Shumer is really good too, probably my favorite female comic right now. The show she had, or maybe still has, was just god awful though. Edited September 13, 201312 yr by Chilihead90

You may be right, I know little about him. I just remember the first time I saw him on TV being surprised to hear that he was from Benton. I have a lot of friends from there.

He graduated before I started going there so I wouldnt really know. Also, I have only seen one special of his but I really enjoyed Doug Stanhope's "No reservations"
September 14, 201312 yr I don't really follow comedians as much as I should but I watch Chelsea Lately on the regular. Loves me some Brad Wollack and Loni Love.

September 14, 201312 yr No Ricky Gervais? Louis CK is way too low. I can't understand the obsession with Aziz. I don't think I've ever heard him say anything funny. At least Tracy Morgan isn't on the list.
