I think Chappelle lost his fastball a little bit during his hiatus. I'd probably go with Louis CK. |

Talk about a dead art. Just a bunch of substance addicted misanthropes trying to one-up each other in a vain effort to appeal to white urban liberals. The fact that these people view their work as a cultural necessity and get all sanctimonious anyone dares not find their jokes indispensable is really the only funny part of their bits. |

I surprised you said Chaplle. Maybe in 2005. I would say Louis CK. Who can forget Eddie Murphy RAW filling stadiums. Or the Dice Man. |

Even comedians I like, like Nick Mullen, are way too prone to this navel-gazing bullshit where they pontificate on the delicate art of getting drunk people to laugh, and he's someone who has no part of liberal sanctimony. |

that's nothing new in the world of stand up comedy. it certainly isn't specific to this generation's batch of comedians. |

I'm a bigfan of John Mulaney but I suppose the answer is probably Louis CK. All time its Carlin and I wont hear differently.

I liked him the first time I heard him but that yelling shit gets old,QUICK! Jim Gaffigan & Brian Regan are clean and very funny. My current favorites are Rocky LaPorte & Todd Barry. |

I'll always have a soft spot for Jerry Seinfeld. Brian Regan and Sebastian Maniscalco are good. I haven't heard much of Chappelle's new material, but he was on top of the list for a while. |

Just because Republicans aren't funny doesn't mean you have to be all butt hurt about it. |

1980's Eddie Murphy is still alive. So is the poster boy for rape, Bill Cosby. |
