    I've always been a huge fan of stand-up comedy and I was having a Twitter debate earlier this week with a bunch of people over who the best stand-up comics were and it really got me to thinking. So I thought about it and wrote a new article on my personal Top 10 over on Gunaxin (with video) and thought that since the Hangout usually has some good debates on stuff like this, why not carry the conversation on over here?

    Again, this is your FAVORITE stand-up comics. Not necessarily a debate over who is the BEST. Because we can only talk about how that was Richard Pryor so many times.

    Looking forward to some answers and hope to discover some new ones I might have missed. Youtube samples welcome.

    No problems at all with Hedburg. I just wasn't ready to put him in my personal top 10 yet. Maybe after more time passes.

    My personal favorite is Louis CK, with a close second to Aziz Ansari.

    Brian Regan
    Louis CK
    Jerry Seinfeld
    Patrice O'Neal
    Chris Rock

    I've probably seen Eddie Murphy: Delirious more than any other movie in my life. Raw was pretty weak in retrospect.

    Richard Pryor never did it for me, and George Carlin is really hit-or-miss, mostly misses.

    I've heard OF Aziz Ansari, but I've never heard his act. Thanks for the suggestion. Adding it to my list of things to look for on Youtube to get through the slowest day at the office EVER.

    Our sense of humor is similar, but I really find C.K annoying:confused::)

    That's not dumb. Dumb would be NOT thinking of Carlin as Rufus.

    Lolz. Carlin was funny in his time. That's all I have to say about that.

    There was a world of difference to me in his early stuff and late stuff. He went from a goofball to an angry, bitter old dude. Truthfully, I enjoyed about 98% of it though.
