Best Comedians Ever

[exploited]

Just watched the Obama vs. Romney roast.

Romney destroyed it. If he could be that personable all the time, he would have won the election. The best line was when Romney said something like this: "Well, to continue on this Big Bird theme, today's dinner is brought to you by the Letter O and the number 16,000,000,000,000."

Haha, was so good.

The tuxedo dinner thing? Romney was hardly likable during that.

I thought he was pretty likable. I don't mean that in a "If I ran into him at a bar" kind of sense, I mean that in a comparative sense. Most times, he seems like a robot manufactured specifically to obey the whims of various corporate combines. In those videos, he appeared to show a reasonable sense of humour, and that is a huge improvement.

[Boris Johnson]

Robin Williams funniness unfortunately appears directly proportional to the severity of his cocaine habit.

Only read the first page of this thread, but here are my favorite stand-ups:

God (George Carlin)
Doug Stanhope (guy in my avi)
Louis C.K.
Bill Burr
Patton Oswalt
Rory Scovel
Don Rickles
David Cross
Jim Jefferies
Kyle Kinane
Eddie Murphy
Paul F. Tompkins
Hannibal Burress
The whole "Tough Crowd" group (Colin Quinn, Greg Giraldo RIP, Patrice O'Neal RIP, Jimmy Norton, Nick Dipaolo)

And I don't know if you could classify him as a stand-up, but goddamn I just think Reggie Watts is a genius.

After reading through the thread, I can't believe I forgot Chappelle and Bill Hicks. Definitely two of my favorites as well.
