[QUOTE=That_Admiral]Katt Williams? The Pimp Chronicles was great, but he fell off pretty quickly. does he make the top 100? or how about Russell peters?[/QUOTE]
Katt Williams in his short peak was probably as hot as Dice Clay (poor mans Dice Clay) in the late 80s. Somewhere towards the end of the list, if that.
How the fvck did DeGeneres make the list? #16 no less...
To me, Don Rickles is the funniest person that ever was. And a quicker wit than anyone hands down. Everything that came out of his mouth was hysterical.

Johnny Carson ahead of him on that list? Watch this vid and you tell me who was funnier.
And Ellen Degeneres in front of him? Ridiculous and insulting.
Rickles. :bowdown:
[QUOTE=DeuceWallaces]Sarah Silverman would be somewhere 85-100. Maybe higher.[/QUOTE]
Where would you rank here with the likes of Brett Butler, Paula Poundstone, Sandra Bernhard and Janeane Garofalo who are 85-100 on the list? Or Wana Sykes who's around 70?
[QUOTE=DeuceWallaces]Maybe someone will make a list of top 100 comics from 2008.[/QUOTE]
Maybe hopefully they will still leave off Silverman off that list as well.
[QUOTE=TylerOO]I see Louis CK bumping up a lot if this were made today.[/QUOTE]
yea he's the best new guy, I think. I mean he's not new, but new to me. All of the dudes who you watch who were around in the 80s/90s.. beyond them, he is the best.

[QUOTE=the mesiah]Just me personally would like to see Bruce Bruce,mooney ,Aries spears, george Lopez in a new list.[/QUOTE]
Only Paul Mooney belongs here. And he worked with Richard Pryor, he didn't write his stand-up material. What he did write for Richard was sketches and bits he performed on SNL and the Richard Pryor Show. For example, Mooney wrote the "Word Association" bit on SNL. He created the Homey the Clown character from In Living Color.
Lopez, maybe; though if Paul Rodriguez is #74, Lopez is way behind him. I'm not sure if George Lopez funnier than John Leguizamo?
Bruce Bruce is not even the funniest black fat guy around. Faizon Love > Corey Holcomb > Craig Robinson > Lavel Crawford. Well him and Lavel are about even.
Aries Spears material isn't too strong, not top 100 strong anyway. He does great impressions though.
[QUOTE=Cactus-Sack]How the fvck did DeGeneres make the list? #16 no less...[/QUOTE]
She was one of the biggest comics of the 80's and 90's.
Oh yeah, and Gaffigan would be somewhere in 50-75.

Ellen is a legend bro.
I like Ellen, but she shouldn't be at 16.
They got the females all wrong here. I think Ellen is better than Roseanne. Maybe Rose was a little more influential than Ellen ... And speaking of influence, they have Phyllis Diller and Joan Rivers. They should have been right along with their male cohorts from that era
Other female stand ups that should have been included:
Moms Mabley
Lily Tomlin
Carol Burnett
Vicki Lawrence
Marsha Warfield
Whoopi Goldberg
Rita Rudner
Susie Essman
Kathy Griffin
Rickles at 17, lol, guys unarguably top 10, more like five if we're only basing being funny on constant basis.
Carlin wasn't that funny, he was more insightful and a brilliant thinker, but I get his place, he's incredibly popular, easily the most popular stand up comic ever.
Kevin Hart gets in there, he's really really good.
Conan should be here, he's infinitely funnier than #15 Letterman
I also think that fat latino guy should get in if Kevin James is in, he's definitely better.
Jim Carrey into the TOP20, he's box office as they come in comedians, everybody knows the guy, dumb and dumber to was hysterical.
Sarah Silverman deserves to get in here I think, somewhere at the end

Jim Carrey's stand up is not very good. He only made his spot because of his name. Same with Sandler, but at least Sander s funny (somewhat) with his stand up. I would take David Spade over both.

How is Carrey's stand up not funny? It's hilarious and innovative
