    Pretty shocked that only one person has mentioned Chris Rock. He's one of the greatest of his generation.

    I also think Brian Regan is fantastic, always impressed by stand-ups with clean acts who are actually funny. On the other end of the spectrum, I think Jim Jefferies is hilarious.

    Quite possibly the most under-rated man in the business.

    Look I'm a fan of Chappelle but what has he done after Chappelle show??? The guy has been doing absolutely nothing... Tommy Davidson has outwork chappelle in the comedy circuit maybe Another Brother can shed more light on this??

    Brian Regan, then Louis C.K., then Seinfeld, then everyone else.

    RIP Patrice O'Neal

    I laughed the hardest at him not at an actual punchline, but when he was mimicking a Chinese lady whispering in his ear when he was getting a massage.
