Bee Hoon Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Russell Peters is pretty funny, but for the local scene in Malaysia, Jit Murad is number one as far as I'm concerned:) His impersonation of a generic Malay politician had me in stitches!

Tommycat Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Dice was ok, but I always thought he was just trying to be crude so people would pay attention to him and not realize his jokes were old and rehashed. I still say Cosby for the sheer fact that you can enjoy his comedy routines at any age.

Sabretooth Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 How could you not think Jerry Seinfeld is funny? You don't know funny if you don't think he's funny. Agreed in every possible direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I love Lee Evans! He is soo funny and XL tour is teh best! I agree, Lee Evans is VERY funny. My cousin is going to see him in Cardiff in September! With any luck he'll do the sat-nav joke again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taak Farst Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 I like all of them really apart from Jerry Seinfield and Bill Crosby. Robin Williams is Ok but he is pretty old. To me he died out doing Mrs. Doubtfire! EDIT: Hell yer DDD! SAT NAV: Turn Right. Lee Evans: ******* right love! SAT NAV: Go forward Lee Evans: *squeals of humping sat navs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinthian Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Bill Crosby? You either mean Bill Cosby or Bing Crosby. Anyway, Jim Gaffigan is my favorite comedian. Look up Jim Gaffigan Hot Pocket on YouTube and try to keep a straight face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 OK, you all forgot the girls--Bette Midler and Carol Burnett. Carol Burnett's skit spoofing Gone With the Wind is one, if not THE, funniest moments in all of TV. Bette Midler is just hilarious, though not clean enough to watch with the kids.

Astor Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 A few more that should be mentioned: Danny Kaye (great singer, dancer, comedian, all round everything!) Dean Martin along with people on his show such as Orson Welles (he can be pretty funny), James Stewart & Dom DeLuise. Don Rickles - Quite rude, and offensive, but I still think he's funny.

Cygnus Q'ol Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 wait, a thread about comedians, and nobody mentions the all time legends of Bob Hope and the Marx Brothers?? Here, here! ...in no particular order: (Old School) Richard Pryor Bill Cosby Billy Crystal Robin Williams Redd Foxx George Carlin Freddy Prinze George Wallace Shecky Greene Mel Brooks ...and of course Hope and Rickles. Larry David is hilarious Damon Wayans Martin Lawrence Murphy use to be funny. 'Delirious' made my drink come out of my nose, I laughed so hard. There are so many, I know I'm forgetting quite a few. I see no one has mentioned any women here. I'm shocked. No one here probably remembers JoAnn Worley from Laugh-In or Madelaine Kahn from Mel Brooks' films. Carol Burnett !!! Ellen Degeneres is silly but hysterical as well. What? No Whoopie Goldberg? Sad, sad, sad... [edit] (oops, I didn't see your post Jae. Girls wanna have fun too:) ) [edit] AHHH!!! Gilda, sweet Gilda. Can't believe I left her out. Thanks Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
