Louis CK, the only man in the world funny enough to un-cancel himself

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Lol true. Though it helps when half of your routine is to joke about how shitty of a person you think you are, and then it turns out that’s true, and people are like “yeah that checks out”

Bill burr all the way!

I don't even have to watch his full specials. I just watch him in Conans show , and it lights me up!

I'll give you two, one living, one passed.

Randy Feltface is great with crowd work.

Mitch Hedberg was a genius with delivery, and even though I've seen most of his recorded work multiple times, I still laugh out loud.

George, Pryor and Hedberg still take up a lot of room in my playlists.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 months ago

Scrolled too far without seeing Weird Al listed. He may not do stand-up but he's absolutely a comedian, and he's been making me laugh consistently for 30 years now.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 18 points 10 months ago

James Acaster is the correct answer in here - he is hilariously funny and very progressive

"Can you tell us about your flapjack?"

"Started making it. Had a breakdown.

...Bon appetit."

Patton Oswalt. I love that nerdy little hobbit man when he really gets on a rant.

Demetri Martin! One liners galore and fun visual "musical" comedy.

[-] Devi@beehaw.org 12 points 10 months ago

Fern Brady I find always makes me laugh, it's like she's enjoying herself and just bringing everyone else along for the ride. Even in interviews I just end up really enjoying myself.

[-] quinnly@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Loved her on Taskmaster. "Have I met these potatoes before?!"

Between herself, John Kearns, and Munya, that season was a goldmine for 'comedians I had never heard of before and ended up loving'.

Jim Gaffigan

The first time I saw Beyond the Pale I thought I was gonna die laughing.

[-] DarthSpot@feddit.de 10 points 10 months ago

Rowan Atkinson. I'm unable to watch Mr Bean or Blackadder with a straight face. Everything he does is comedy gold.

Also the one and only Robin Williams, may he rest in peace. Watched his stand up program and spilled my drink multiple times

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Conan O'Brien. He's just effortlessly funny, especially when he's just riffing with Sona and Matt on "Conan O'Brien needs a friend".

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Joe Wilkinson doesn't even have to open his mouth and I start laughing

Don Rickles. Some of his stuff is very dated, but he skewers everyone... with love. 🙄

I liked Tom Segura before he started to make fun of poor and homeless people.

[-] ChromaticMan@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Tom Segura, although his latest special is my least favourite one.

Not stand up. David Sedaris, his life essays, not the short stories.

The Ship Shape, amiright?
