Everyone on there's a genius except Cosby and Hedberg.

Jayden Murphy
It's
1. Pryor
2. Bruce (for some reason not pictured)
3. Kaufman

Pryor was great
Carlin was great, but preachy (smart too)
Bruce was fantastic
Allen is great if you can separate the comedy from the comedian
Martin is great
Dangerfield is great but a bit repetitive
Cosby is great if you can separate the comedy from the comedian
Murphy is great
Hicks was great, but preachy
Kinison is ok, but loud
Wright is great
Who?
Kaufman is a crazy person trying to squeeze pity laughs out of an awkward situation
Hedburg was great
Seinfeld is ok
Williams was incredible
Ethan Martin
>Who?
>not recognizing Albert Brooks
Charles Robinson
>who?
Albert Brooks.
point proven
Caleb Powell
Patrice O'Neal
Connor White
Honestly gotta go with Carlin, may not be the funniest overall but his career is untouchable, headliner supreme for like 30 years without needing a (hit) sitcom to sell tickets.
Samuel Barnes
He did some shitty movies though.
Connor Powell
Bill and Ted x2 plus Kevin Smith's shit, ya not great but not Pluto Nash or Bee Movie
David Ross
>not great but not Pluto Nash or Bee Movie
Good point.
William Allen
Lenny Bruce wasnt funny
Tyler Young
A lot of the stuff of his I've listened to is very dependent on understanding current events. Can anyone post some essential Lenny Bruce tracks?
Jacob Howard
Does Kaufman qualify as a comedian? He started out in clubs but if he's a comedian than he's just as much a wrestler and shitty lounge singer
Asher Morgan
Well, he's always funny. Even in his wrestling gig.
Logan Phillips
Eddie Murphy's standup is hugely underrated. This shit is so fucking funny every time I watch it, especially once he really gets rolling and does the entire drunk dad sketch.
Jaxson James
>Eddie Murphy's standup is hugely underrated
Nah it's pretty widely regarded as some of the best ever.
Isaiah Moore
Eddie Murphy was funny as fuck but hugely derivative of Pryor.
Gavin Gray
Delirious is stand-up Kino.
Jackson Hernandez
He even says so in RAW, good bit
Gavin Collins
...
Cameron Cooper
Kaufman, Carlin, Wright
Logan Murphy
>Hicks was great, but preachy
Sometimes I think about what could have been if he hadn't been so angry and bitter.
Zachary Bennett
...
Dylan Cook
He had a couple of great bits he did on Carson.

Kaufman was ahead of his time, it amazes me that more young people aren't into him.
Evan Clark
The Dustin Hoffman film isn't great, but it's a decent primer.
People need to understand that Lenny came before all of these dudes and was more of the Vaudeville tradition than modern stand up.
Personally I'd recomend starting with his book, 'How to Talk Dirty and Influence People'. It's fantastic.
Michael Murphy
>Lenny was more of the Vaudeville tradition than modern stand up
Really? The stuff I've listened to made me think of late period Carlin.
Asher Gutierrez
Oh man that one with "buddy" was one of the best bits I've ever seen.
Elijah Jackson
I think it's interesting how Bill Hicks is loved by fedora tipping atheists, but if you listen to his stuff, he's clearly very spiritual. He only hated organized religion.
