    Margaret Cho is pretty funny. The whole "what it's like growing up Korean-American" routine she does is funny.

    My favorites of all time (and I know I'm leaving somebody off) in no particular order :

    Richard Pryor
    Eddie Murphy
    Tommy Davidson
    Steven Wright
    Emo Phillips (this dude is bizarre!)
    George Carlin
    Robin Williams
    Jerry Seinfeld
    Chris Rock
    Sinbad
    Damon Wayans
    Drew Carey
    David Alan Grier
    Howie Mandel
    D.L. Hughley
    Cedric the Entertainer
    Jeff Foxworthy (maybe)
    ...and some guy I watched the other day that reminded me of Kid Rock but I don't know his name.

    Damn straight rockHEAD!!!

    I saw some of his material on Comedy Central, and I downloaded some of his tracks off of Napster.

    Finally I was able to go see him live at the Laff Stop in Houston, and I laughed my ass off!!!

    The guy has his own style that can't possibly be reproduced by anyone but him.

    You know, everyone is always talking about how smart dolphins are. But I don't care about that, I want to find a really stupid dolphin. I know that somewhere out there, there is a really stupid dolphin, and I bet I find him in the middle of damn lake!

    Actually, DoD, that was probably Mitch Hedberg. He has shoulder length blonde hair, and usually has on some kind of colored sunglasses. He rarely looks at the audience, and has a real easy going demeanor.

    Bob and Behad--yeah, I was young when SNL first started out. When I watch the reruns, it just isn't funny to me. I guess I just don't get it, I don't know. I think a lot of it though is that it just isn't as funny anymore. For example, 3's Company just isn't as funny as I remember it being when I was younger. Does SNL still make you guys laugh when you go back and watch those old reruns?

    Some of it does. Most of it.

    There were certain skits that had me rolling on the floor then, and still do today.

    Who remembers :

    Bass-o-matic
    Killer Bees
    ConeHeads
    Samari


    among others.

    Gallagher isn't comedy, it's stupidity for the comedically-challenged audience. [​IMG]

    I also really liked all four guys from the kings of comedy. That was hilarious.
