LittleHurt05 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 07:57 AM) Jeselnik is my favorite I enjoyed his stand-up special, but his show is a giant flaming turd, holy hell. The only funny parts were when he had guests on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 1. Dave Chappelle - Funny 10 years ago. Not so much anymore. 2. Kevin Hart - Used to like him, but he's getting a little annoying and is shoved down our throats too much. 3. Aziz Ansari - Hilarious. Whether it be Parks and Rec or standup. Good all around. 4. Rickey Smiley - Never heard of him. 5. Zach Galifanakis - Yes. Been a fan from way back before he got big. 6. Daniel Tosh - Yes and no. Hilarious at times, but really misses the mark others. 7. Hannibal Buress - Have not heard a ton, but is hilarious when he's on Bob and Tom. 8. Sarah Silverman - Always thought she was overrated. 9. Bill Burr - Not real familiar with his work. The little I've seen has been good. 10. Louis C.K. - The best comedian performing today. Hands down. Other good ones not mentioned - Jim Gaffigan, Tom Green (his standup is hilarious), David Cross, Mike Birbiglia, and many others. Who I can't stand - Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Shumer, Terry Fator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Kinane went to my high school. I remember he had a special on CC a few years ago and my facebook blowing up about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 12:56 AM) If we are talking underrated comedians you may never heard of, I'd like to toss Kyle Kinane and Tommy Johnagin in the group. Both are Chicago comedians, both are pretty solid. Tommy Johnagin is from Benton, IL. Home of Doug Collins & John Malkovich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show she had, or maybe still has, was just god awful though. Edited September 13, 2013 by Chilihead90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He graduated before I started going there so I wouldnt really know. Also, I have only seen one special of his but I really enjoyed Doug Stanhope's "No reservations" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Hurtin Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 No Ricky Gervais? Louis CK is way too low. I can't understand the obsession with Aziz. I don't think I've ever heard him say anything funny. At least Tracy Morgan isn't on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
