That explains your King of Queens love.


I used to "get" most of Dennis Millers obscure pop culture references and laughed hard. Carlin was funny but a lot of thought provoking shit. I'm more of a "boy,are my arms tired" kind of guy.

On the Mt.Rushmore of stand-ups that I've seen. Eddie, Chris Rock, Seinfeld, and I'll keep the last one secret to stop people from bitching at me.


carlin's gotta be in the team picture, right? i get that he's not necessarily too popular with people who don't like him (wow, what a fucking concept i just came up with there =) but i mean.... the dude had a serious run of quality starting with the HBO specials in the late 70s through the 80s and into the 90s where he was just on fucking point. i'd go as far as to classify him as one of my favorite contemporary philosophers (the concept that the planet created humanity to bring it styrofoam is just so beautiful i can't help but dig it)

and ummm, yeah, he was rufus in bill and ted's excellent adventure. gotta love the metaphor there..... two hapless losers playing in their own little garage band are told that their music is the #1 key in ushering in the utopian society of the future BUT ONLY IF THEY PASS THEIR HISTORY EXAM and btw, hi, i'm george carlin [sitcom entrance applause] and here's a time machine.

fucking wicked concept, if i must say so myself. and i'm an odd one whose mind was blown when i first saw carlin doing standup and i thought "omfg.... rufus does standup?" --- things got better from there on out.

also, that EP of the george carlin show ("george meets up with an old friend" methinks?) where he comes across weed for the first time in ~25 years is suitably hilarious.

Carlin is widely considered one of the two greatest along with Pryor

Bill Cosby's albums were great.

Steve Martin did a great routine. I'd put him in the same category as Bob Newhart doing more of a one man skit. Newhart was genius.

I always show first timers the episode when Funkhouser's mother dies. That's my favorite.

After a little long hiatus I picked up where I left off yesterday with "Funkhausers crazy sister"

Curb is Seinfeld uncensored in a reality show-ish format


Curb is better but only because it has less restrictions and it came later


Seinfelds stand up is awesome


2-3 ain't bad

Fuck Seinfeld as a comedian...so nice and not edgy that Oprah feels safe having him on. That's not what comedy is about. He's not not funny. His work makes me smile but forget that noise, I need more than that. I think Jerry is bemused by himself, as he was throughout Seinfeld. Meanwhile, when you watch Curb, you know who the genius was behind Seinfeld.

Rating comedians is difficult. Even the good ones have a pretty short shelf life of being at the top of their game.
