The list is debatable of who the best is. It could take a great deal of discussion. Right now instead of watching the Royals most likely extend the streak to 10, I am watching HBO. They are replaying a 1982 comedy routine George Carlin did at Carnegie Hall. The man is a damn genius. I bet a great deal of his routine is ad-lib. He is the funniest stand up comedian I have seen in a long long time.
Right now Carlin is giving the audience a list of words that sound pretty clean, but just have way to many different meanings. Hilarious stuff. Pussyfoot, woodpecker, beernuts, cottonballs, cocktail, bangkok, peacock(a female peacock...a peacunt). The man is hilarious. However, dirty and perverted. But damn funny.
Here watch this skit found on youtube. This is the same 1982 skit done at Carnegie Hall I just watched on HBO. Its on Cats.
Some others that come to mind that I love watching their acts include; Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles ... Way to many good ones.
However I have to put Cosby and Carlin above most others, but they are both 1A and 1B in my book. Yes I am leaving off a ton of great comedians. These four are all just off the top of my mind.
So who is the funniest comedian in your book? What say you?
