Eddie Murphy is definitely up there. I would have to say Daniel Tosh before he got all super famous. His earlier routines are some of the funniest shite I've ever heard in my life.

Louis CK tied with Chapelle. Dave is a genius.

Maybe a better question is who's the best active comedian.

Some of these listed haven't hit a stand up stage in years.

I like Louis CK and Bill Burr about equally. They both kind of have their own specific appeal. Burr might have the edge because when he really gets on a roll he can literally make me piss myself from laughing.

What is it about pissed off gingers?

Saw Brian Reagan Sunday night here in New Orleans and he was hilarious. Patton Oswalt will be here on the 23rd.

Doug Stanhope. Look him up if unfamiliar.

...but Bill Burr isn't a bad answer. Probably 1A.

Also:
Joey Diaz
Hannibal Burress
Dave Chappelle
John Mulaney
Don Rickles

Overrated but ok:
Louis CK
Ralphie May
Aziz Ansari
Gabriel Iglesias

Dead:
Patrice O'Neal
Greg Giraldo
George Carlin

You're a douchebag if:
Dane Cook
Carlos Mencia
Larry the Cable Guy
Ron White (though he's not bad...just attracts douches for some reason)

For those downvoting my choice, you really need to replace the battery in your sarcasm meter. It is dead.

Louis CK isn't a ginger. He's Mexican.

I don't know if it's lack of exposure or too many sensitive feelings for those in this thread that watch comedy, but Anthony Jeselnik is absolutely fricking hilarious. He is the kind of guy that can make you cringe and hate him for his jokes but you'll still laugh every damn time. Recently I discovered a chick (on Netflix) who is pretty funny. Would be a good one to sit down with the wife and watch. Her name is Iliza Schlesinger.

I love Anthony Jeselnik though. He just throws one liner after one liner out there and doesn't give a damn who he offends, although he doesn't venture much into the black area.
