Watched "I swear to god" by Jim Jefferies recently.

Very good. Similar kind of "I don't care if you think I'm an arsehole" attitude as Bill Hicks.

But Bill Hicks is my god of stand up.

This.

People need to stop sucking Louis CK's dick so much. Hes very good and all, but sure....

just watched that HBO talking funny show. It was great

imo chappelle would probably still be the king of standup if he hadn't quit. i guess louis ck (rightfully) holds the crown now. stewart lee still wins though, even though they're not really comparable (different styles etc).

He still performs regularly, he just doesn't film specials/make any kind of tv appearances.

i've seen all those laugh factory bits before but just assumed they were all really old.

but yeah, im aware he still does standup every now and then (read somewhere about him doing a 6 hour(!) set a while back). i want a new special though, and that goes for eddie murphy too.

katt williams was fun for a while, but got old real quick.

no one says foul language better than Chappelle....everytime a curse or swear flies out of that mans mouth hilarity follows

It makes me happy that no one's posted any Dane Cook, god damn am I sick of him... his very early bit's were good but then it became very formulaic and predictable (tell awkward story, make weird screech noise, hope for laughs, if laugh fails add in something about dicks or pussy)

Richard Pryor is still tops with me. Can't find a suitable video on You-tube to post here. For some reason there just isn't a lot of this guy there...

one of my favorites

good thread!
