Favourite Comedian?

[Agathon]

Who's yours?

I've been listening to a lot of Bill Hicks (RIP) lately – the guy who described himself as "Chomsky with dick jokes".

This cracks me up

"What'd ya say we lighten things up and talk about abortion?

"It's hard to come to a consensus. Some of my friends think that these pro-life people are annoying idiots, and some of my friends think these pro-life people are evil ****s.

How will we ever come to a consensus."

Or the one where he compares the Gideons to ninjas.

[Pekka]

bill hicks is good yeah.. I think he does too much smoking jokes, but I like him a lot.

Personally though, if I had to name only one from so many, I'd say.. Eddie Izzard.

[Wezil]

Two good nominations. I prefer Hicks.

"Dinosaurs in the Bible" cracks me up every time.

[Nostromo]

Never heard of them. Any links?

[Master Zen]

Izzard. Hands down.

Get this, I actually asked one of these guys, OK, Dinosaurs fossils - how does that fit into you scheme of life? Let me sit down and strap in. He said, "Dinosaur fossils? God put those there to test our faith." Thank God I'm strapped in right now here man. I think God put you here to test my faith, Dude. You believe that? "uh huh." Does that trouble anyone here? The idea that God.. might be.. ****in' with our heads? I have trouble sleeping with that knowledge. Some prankster God running around: "Hu hu ho. We will see who believes in me now, ha ha." [mimes God burying fossils] "I am God, I am a prankster." "I am killing Me." You know, You die and go to St. Peter... "Did you believe in dinosaurs?" "Well, yeah. There was fossils everywhere" Thuh [trapdoor opens] "Aaaaaaarhhh!" "You ****in idiot." "Flying lizards, you're a moron. God was ****in' with you!" "It seemed so plausible, ahhhh!" "Enjoy the lake of fire, ****er!"

Izzard
Hicks
Dee
Elton

[reds4ever]

Izzard and Coogan are both good. I agree with Pekka on Hicks, he does too many smoking jokes.

[Krill]

Meh, comics...Izzard is good, Coogan is the little worse. Elton is probably the best...

Another great Hicks moment (should be targetting the right crowd here )

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers. Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no ****ing joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are ****ed and you are ****ing us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your ****ing soul, kill yourself. Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke... there's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, ****ing hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil ****ing makinations. Machi... Whatever, you know what I mean.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that. You ****ing evil scumbags! "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research - huge market. He's doing a good thing." Godammit, I'm not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every ****ing thing on this planet! "Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a ****ing web. "Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..." How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like ****ing babies at night, don't you?" "What didya do today honey?" "Oh, we made ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight." [snores] "Yeah we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know," [snores] "Yeah, you know the mums will love it." [snores] Sleep like ****ing children, don't ya, this is your world isn't it?
