The list is lame and VERY white. Substitute Rock, Chappelle, Williams??? Underground LA stand up STEVEN LOLLI…just bought dvd “A Thinker Who Loves Pussy”…funnier than anyone on this list(or any stand up I have seen in quite a while). Why are all the great artists underground like this?

Where is so and so and such and such? Why didn’t you name blah-de-blah? He/she/it should have been on that list! Not those other guys!

Lol, you people replying just piss me off. Go to some other site with their top ten list if you don’t like this one. The author knows some people won’t like it and he’s still not gonna change it.

It’s a waste of time asking about why they didn’t include ‘your favorite all-time 5 comedians’. Just like my own reply. I doubt any of you will check back to see if anyone said anything different. If you’re that disgruntled and you want your voice heard, make your own little blog and post your own list. I would rather see encouraging comments to the author, and on that note:

Well done. Very informative read and great work on embedding those videos. It was a plentiful sampling to see what I like.

if you watch theyr dvd releases look at the audience..shure there is a white bloke here and there, but the targe audience is black…your the only ones making jokes about differents between races their main focus..

Don’t think any of those people are that great. Think you’re missing some of the basic greats. Instead you have the far gone greats!

Thanks none the less. Was good to see the videos.

I disagree with comedy being subjective! It has it’s audience variables but it is a finite science. I realize what makes one person laugh may leave on completely unmoved, but either you’re funny or you are not! The same bit performed by a comedian that understands what it is to BE funny can kill while another “comedian” falls on his/her face. And then of course some shit just aint funny and no matter how good you are it will always blow.

TONY LAW: no matter how funny the story may be, (it wasn’t) he has not understanding of timing, or story telling for that matter. He should be selling shoes in Haiti.

Tom Stade: Wow, sorry, i thought maybe someone called a cab and the driver accidentally wandered on stage. This guy hasn’t even thought his act through. Did he forget that he was in front of an audience?

Zack Galifianakis has been around for a very long time and he has honed his comedy talent to perfection. He is never not funny.

Kristen Schaal: She gets it, she’s always been funny even when her jokes are bad, she still makes them work.

Joe Wilkinson: He needs a chance. I don’t think it’s funny, but I see that he understands what funny is and that’s a lot.

Stewart Lee: Funny through and through.

Sarah Silverman: NEVER BEEN FUNNY. She is where jokes go to die. The funny people she knows in her life, are less funny for knowing her.

Jim Gaffigan: I have no opinion. I fell asleep.

In my overbearing, yet humble opinion, the funniest living people are not mentioned here.(except Galifianakis)

Doug Stanhope
Patton Oswalt
Louis C.K.
Eddie Izzard
Jim Norton
Dave Atell

I find it funny that all of the GREATEST living comedians are white lol I watch stand up Everyday, pretty much all day & find your list ridiculous. I dont “Hate it” as you say because I completely understand stand up is a “To each their own” kind of thing. However, considering the amount of money GREAT Stand up comedians make with selling out shows and what not, and to leave out the REAL greats like Lopez, Cheppelle, Rock, All comedians that sell out anywhere they go, yet happen to not be white. Plus, lets not forget are SO FUNNY they’ve been given their own shows, is simply ludicrous. I’m not going to call your list racist but I am going to say its suspicious. I love great white stand up too like Louis CK, Seinfield, Gaffigan (the only person on your list that deserves to be there) but lets be honest. To say the Greatest living comedians are all white is very questionable.
