Default Favorite stand-up Comedian

Well, it doesn't have to be an argument but if you wanna make it that, its cool. Who is your favortite stand-up comedian (this includes sitcom people because we all know they had to start somewhere).

Mine would have to be Robin Williams.

It's another night in hell, Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well, Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Steve Martin in the 70's. His "Let's Get Small" album was brilliant. "Wild and Crazy Guy" was great too; the second half was probably much better if you were in the audience for that. It also had a recording of "King Tut" so it was good in my books. "The Steve Martin Brothers" I never got to buy (it's the only one that hasn't been converted to CD), but I also own his last stand-up album, "Comedy Is Not Pretty," which is his second best album.

"Mind if I smoke?"
"I don't know..... do you mind if I fart?"

Steve Martin is the best.

Robin Williams is good too. He's a bit vulger though.

It's ok. I liked his "Penis" sketch though. "5 minutes before you wake up, he's already up to greet you!"

You want extremely vulgar though, go with Eddie Murphy. Wow. You kind of wonder how Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy got hired by Disney for a lot of things. O_O
