I must be a bit more twisted than you guys, my favorite is Stephen Lynch.
Carlin's "Class Clown" is a classic, my first copy was an eight track so that puts it in a time frame for you.
 
Thanks for the votes!

My faves are:

Brian Regen
Dane Cook
GC
Steven Wright
Todd Barry
Larry
Ron White
Jeff Foxworthy
Mitch Fatel
Dave Attel
Lewis Black
Caliendo

Jim Gaffigan
Lisa Lampinelli
Robert Schimell

and a few others. I recommend XM Comedy.
 
I think Red Skelton was one of the funniest, nicest men who ever lived. "Two Thegulls"

After him, i like Robin Willianms best, then
Richard Pryor
Chris Rock
Larry TCG
Ron White
Jeff Foxworthy
Bill Cosby
 
Eddie Murphy

Jerry Seinfield is a dork and can thank Larry David for success.
I could do without Larry the Cable guy as well.

Jerry Clowers
If you never heard him find a a tape or disc of the One about the one About "the dogs I have known"
I had a bunch of his stuff But loaned them out and now I have none, If any of you listen to his stuff you will agree he's the top.
 
Gator, I grew up listening to Jerry, or as my Dad pronounced it, "Jayree". So many cool stories about the Ledbetters and coon huntin'. My Dad and I listened to 4 hours worth of his stuff on our way hunting last year. My Dad got to have dinner with "Jayree" and his wife back in the 70's and said that there are few men on this earth as nice and genuine as him. His material is pretty dated and tame by today's standards but I still love it!

Your right it is tame but still gets the laughs. The dog stories and work stories they are timeless.

"That's right, Bennett Brauer back with another commentary. Thought you've seen the last of ol' Bennett, perhaps. Thought the network bigwigs would have sent Bennett and his negative "view rating" on a slow boat to shanghai.

Well, maybe I don't "look the part".

I'm not "felt".

I don't "look comfortable on camera".

I'm not "gabby".

I don't "understand what'd going on in the news".

I'm not "likable".

I don't "get along with people".

When I go to work, I don't "make eye contact".

I guess I don't "fit the mold".

I don't "wear the latest clothes" or even ones that don't "reek".

I don't "change my underwear".

I'm not "buff".

I don't have "firm breasts".

I don't "exercise".

And when I do sweat, I don't "shower".

I'm not "spick and span". I don't "clean the area between my crotch and legs".

But, for the time being, I guess the network "enforcers" are opting for my approach, until Joe Consumer tells them he'd rather get his 2 cents from commentators who don't "make babies cry" and don't "drink maple syrup straight from the bottle," and don't "leave old dried up deodorant cakes under their arms for weeks at a time,


Classic!

And why are all the funniest ones dead?
 
Farley definitely gets my vote! Best physical comedy ever! Great sketch comedian.

Stand-up is a whole different art form - Seinfeld is great but dry and clever. Jeff Foxworthy is my favorite.

Bill Cosby is the best storyteller
and Richard Pryor and Rodney Dangerfield had the best stage acts.

Eddie Murphy's Delirous is a classic.
