Just for fun...

Top 10 stand-up comedians of all-time. Why not?

First of all this list will not be agreed upon by anyone of you three people that read this blog. It is my list and it took a lot of science and algorithms and other shit to come up with. Or I was just having a few and thought watching a few monologues on YouTube would be funny. It was. Enjoy.

Honorable Mention: Louis CK - Kind of a downer, frumpy white guy but pretty funny and real blue.



Honorable Mention (Chick): Whitney Cummings - took this one from a roast.. she is the new Queen of Mean. Brutal.



10. Dave Chappelle - Classic and the worst thing about it is that the high white dudes that like him completely miss the subtle social commentary.



9. Mitch Hedburg - another case of misery loves comedy. Died too young.



8. Anthony Jeselnik - another new kid on the block. Great delivery, totally brutal and has great double punch lines with master timing. Watch out for this kid.



7. Eddie Murphy - He was the man. In this clip he is like 24 years old. This dude is funny and parlayed it into a franchise.



6. Norm Macdonald - Underrated as shit. I saw this guy live and nearly pissed my pants. Of course I was shitfaced, but still. He just takes it to another level.



5. Patton Oswalt - One of the deep thinkers of the group. Deep, funny as all hell and afraid of nothing, including laughing along with the audience (I love that). True comics, comic.



4. Zack Galifianakis - The comic who would be voted as the most likely to be from another planet but not all contrived and shit like Emo Phillips or weird guys like that. And you thought he was funny in 'The Hangover", dude has been around for awhile.



3. Rodney Dangerfield - Are you kidding me...one of the best. No respect, yeah right.



2. Bill Hicks - A masterful genius who died way too young, and it wasn't even from drugs. Weak, he kicked from the cancer, a disease he lightly mocked.



1. George Carlin - The King. Simple. He is the epitome of 'practice makes perfect', because he was. A linguist and master debater, with himself. I consider him one of my heroes.
