I'll put my greatest comedian up against yours and yours will lose.

This man had a memory even Einstein would envy. My guy is another Jew-Genius.
And Einstein was also Jewish.
What is it with this Jewish religion?

Between you and poster OldBill , The Saloon better watch the fukk out

[TheMoneyShot]

Andrew Dice Clay.... my favorite

If you like Louis C.K.... I totally don't understand the guy and never laugh. I'd rather laugh at Gilbert Gottfried.

did he join the beastie boys yet?

Jackie Mason for classic schtick is on par w Rodney

New guys like Sam Moreli or Joe List are brilliant

Nick Dipaolo is ruthless

[OldBill]

George carlin

[homie1975]

George carlin

This.

it's George Carlin in a landslide over anyone else in history.

just look at the evolution of the guy from the 60's until the day he died.

an absolutely brilliant linguist who took shots at everyone and saw and verbalized things others could not do.

he is the best in history and it really is not even close.

Sorry, Fidel, do you still poop in your Biden-type diaper?
You do sound so young and youthful?
What can we oldtimers do to make up for ruining your day, each and every day, we hope?

Now, either give us come competition with what the thread asks, or get back on that baby bottle and take another nap.

I sat very close to the table of Jackie Mason, just a few years back at a Vegas comedy club he was attending. Is he still kicking?

Hmm, if he lasted longer than my champ, I may faint?
My guy had Johnny C. laughing out of his chair. many times. How many times was he a guest there? Probably 4 times more than your entry?

THREAD CLOSED!

[slewfan]

Guy I knew from the “neighborhood” worked for the sanitation dept. In Manhattan . ( N.Y.C.) was working the upper east side.. E 80’s.. They saw Rodney one day and gave him a shout out. “ Hey Rodney, How ya’ doin’ “.. He told them “ Better than Youz “..

He talked with them for a few minutes… Funny guy…

[ABEHONEST]

Poor BG

I had to put BG on suspension for 30 days because the kid still doesn't know a comedy thread from a thread asking for responses about your own personal tragedies?

The world is not a joke every friggin; day, BG.
And he is non-stop interfering, most of the time, but I understand that goes with his young age. Still..........a good smack right across those jowls would do good for both of us.

A non-stop chatterbox. We'll never see another as good as he was at ratting of 1-liners, one after the other. Heck, I can't get even get 1 joke right.
I was constantly belly-laughing at Rodney when I first found this video about 3 or 4 weeks ago.
I hope RD is resting in a better place.
* And another thing: Who looked funnier when you look at that face and those crazy expressions?
We got'em RD.

Meet Don Rickles in Vagas 1988 !! We were headed back to our room down a hall that must have been behind the concert hall, they had a door the entertainers came out that you could not tell was a door from the hall him and two others walked out and down to the elevators with us! Seemed like a nice feller

Yes. he was darn funny. But his routime was too repetitious? I mean, insulting different people but at the same time, using similar jokes off the same topic on each individual.

[ABEHONEST]

He's darn good. Another thing I learned from this video, I didn't realize Dick Clark was only 5-4?
Henny has to be another Jew, right? How greedy there are.

johnny carson laughed at everything because the audience in the studio and on TV loved it.

that is not a great criteria to use.

how about this? how many HBO specials did Rodney have? I love Rodney but George had like 15 HBO specials LOL

Prolly not the best route to be 80 years old and throwing out

“you’ll shit your diaper” jokes lol

but I will say , Let’s Go Brandon !!!

Will be known as the worst ever , the absolute worst president ever !!!

[mcaulay777]

Ive been to 2 comedy clubs ever. One i can't remember it must have been mid-eighties we saw Rodney Dangerfield and his opener was Jim Carrey. Carrey was awful i remember he was booed,he did a Duck bit for about half the set i dont know if he did it on purpose like Kaufman reading the great gatsby he was awful.Rodney on the other hand was incredible i laughed thru the whole hour i had to stop listening because i was laughing so hard.A Women got up during the set and he laid into her not one curse word she ran because she was so embarrassed .The other was when i just moved here to Iowa We saw Louis C K before he was canceled around 07 not as funny as Rodney but he was great!

One more note a Old School guy my parents loved was Shecky Greene.My dad said he was way funnier in Las Vegas then he was on the Tonight show!

Listen old man if you’re feeling froggy then leap. Where did your naked picture go that you posted? Let me guess, it’s not allowed. Dummy.

I imagine a lot of the interest comes from the decade you were born? Say 20 years later? Seems to me, Carlin was way back there?

Carlin came into his own between 1980 and 1996. His best HBO specials were between 88 and 96. there were like 3 or 4 of them and they were absolutely incredible. classic and timeless.

I never watched one. I wasn't a Hippie, either
Just joking. Seems he was in with the college kids.

[TheMetsSuck]

I did stand up comedy in ny for a few years and performed all over. Performing at Dangerfields after being a huge fan my whole life was a crazy feeling, guy was a legend


Patrice O’Neal was top nottch.

Bill Burr
Theo Von
Tim Dillion
Tom Segura
Andrew Schulz
Andrew Gillis

Those are my favorite guys to go see these days.

Charlie Chaplin
The Marx Brothers
Will Ferrell



On another note... Why the hugh popularity of Steve Carell?

One more note a Old School guy my parents loved was Shecky Greene.My dad said he was way funnier in Las Vegas then he was on the Tonight show!

Very likely because of the blue language allowed in Vegas? Boy, if he were alive today he could turn all of those Vegas lights blue.

[ABEHONEST]

Richard was very, very, hot on the day he damn near burned himself alive.
What a personality. And maybe in the top 3? He was really hot when he was hot in the normal way, too.

Thank you for the post.

Can't stomach the tedious hiccuping of unfunny Eddie Murphy
but will eagerly check out:
Theo Von

Andrew Schulz

Andrew Gillis
Thanks.

I believe Andrew Dice Clay is still the ONLY COMEDIAN to ever sell out Madison Square Garden BACK TO BACK nights. Other comedians have tried and failed.
