Maybe he sucks now but the 90s stuff that was the basis for the show was GOLD

We were just building our comedy hall of fame at work. Lots of tension on the inclusiom of comedic actors who didn't write or perform stand up. There has to be a spot for Jeffery Tambor types.

Vince Vaughn was brought up

Funny you mention that after about 80 names we realized no one had mentioed a female.

Filled the quota with

Carol Burnett
Joan Rivers
Tuna Fey
JLD
Gilda Radmer

I like Chelsea Peretti but i didnt have the votes.

I love George Carlin, but his best stuff isn't comedy. It's (extremely accurate) social commentary.

If it is funny...it's comedy, you think " What's the deal with that?" From Seinfeld or Cosby's lame schtick is comedy? Smh

Who here can speak to the greatness that allegedly is Mort Sahl. He may be a sacred cow, but I don't recall anything or any old recordings of him. Along that same line, Steve Martin is sophomoric and little he did held up well.

Steven Wright, Margaret Cho, Aziz Ansari & Patrice O'Neal can go scratch as well

And I must admit I've never even seen the names of Reggie Watts, Russell Peters, Tig Notaro or Daniel Kitson.

I am kind of shocked at no Lewis Black, Flip Wilson or Seinfeld

Look at number 7 dipshit

Remember this post the next time you try to play the victim card.

the travesty is that there's no lewis black but there *is* aziz ansari? he's borderline at best. has a few good bits.

i'd put larry miller on there before ansari. and ellen should be there. her stand up was always top notch.

i'd also have damon wayans in there too. bob schimmel, dave attell.

rolling stone doesn't really understand the concept of stand-up comedy in some of the picks they made.

I didn't actually read the list but Norm absolutely deserves to be on there, and in the top half of the list. Especially considering the list is more "funny people" than "stand up comedians"

"Norm MacDonald is not funny" might be the worst opinion I've ever seen espoused here, if that is indeed your assertion.

Have you seen his stand up? His work on roasts? His appearances on Conan? I think you might just be insane and I never realized it.

No, I've never seen dirty work.

Yes no no no.
Anyway... I didn't say he's not funny. I said he's not a top 50 funny guy.
He isnt.

I'm right.
