Who are your top 5 funniest standup comedians of all time

[Jalether]

This isn't the most succesful, most popular list. IDGAF who sold the most concerts/stadiums or who your pops and the black community thinks is the funniest or who is considered to have the most classics as I feel comedy and humor is an individual thing and some of the legends I have found to be funny but nothing extraordinary.

Here is my OWN list

Dave chapelle
Red foxx
Katt williams
Bernie mac
Patrice O'neal

These are the 5 comedians that have consistently left me in stitches.

And yes I left out richard pryor,eddie murphy,chris rock et al as I didn't/don't consider them as funny as those guys onstage.

Who are yours

I tried to like george but his style is too much of a grumpy old man. Robbin harris is very underrated

Eddie Griffin
Patrice

Robin Williams

Runner up: Deray Davis

This is why I say comedy is an individual thing because most people don't find Deray funny. On a related note one comedian that some people think is a lame but I find really funny is Michael Blackson

dave
patrice
bill burr
carlin
stanhope

chris rock, eddie murphy and CK need to be somewhere in there too though

 

[ThrobbingHood]

No particular order:

Dave Chappelle: Naturally funny, makes you think without being too preachy.

Patrice O’Neal: A modern day philosopher on race and relationships. Gone too soon.

Chris Rock: His first three hour specials are all classics. Just raw and in your face. He was “meme” quoteable before memes ever existed.

Bill Burr: picked up where Patrice left. One of the few white comedians who can do racial humour without pandering or coming across as cringey.

Eddie Murphy: Although he was heavily influenced by Pryor, if we’re strictly looking at stand up, he took it to another level that we haven’t seen.
