Hey R&P: Who's your favourite comedian?

Also, why is (s)he your favourite comedian?

I am gonna have to pick George Carlin.

Why? Because he was the funniest man ever!

Also, he actually knew what he was talking about, like he could take a serious matter, and make it funny, but know what he's talking about too.

And to make this related to rock music:

MQ: What is your favourite funny song?

I like Family Reunion by Blink 182, because that was inspired by a George Carlin act (Seven Words)

    David Cross. There are a lot that I really enjoy, but David Cross just kills me.

    MQ: there was this L.A. Sports radio show that did versions of "Dikembe Mutumbo's Songbook" and one of the things they did was Nights in White Satin. Unfortunately I have no idea where it would be found, but I remember the day my grandmother died I was driving home from work, pretty depressed and that came on. It was so silly and funny in it's ridiculousness that it took my head out of it for a few minutes and I cracked up. Funny stuff.

    ***************

    Good choice Mojo Risin. Glad to see someone put up Hedberg. That dude was hilarious. Definitely in my top 5 somewhere.

    Also, same with Skyler and Posehn. I love that guy. Reminds me I've got to go back into Mr. Show sometime soon.

    If I had to pick one: Jon Stewart.

    Simply because he's one of the most intelligent people in the Media today. He has some very well-formed opinions. However, he still cracks everyone up. The Daily Show wouldn't be the same without him.
