I tend to favor somewhat older comedians for some reason: George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Bill Hicks, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield, etc. Some newer performers I like are Daniel Tosh, Demitri Martin, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Dave Attell, Dom Irrera (prolly cause I grew up in an Italian family), Mitch Hedberg (dead now, but sort of recent), Stephen Lynch, a bunch of others.

Some others that are kind of meh but still pretty good to me – Jeff Foxworthy, Lewis Black, Jeff Dunham.

Also, I’m sure I’ll think of a ****load more as people post them.

And I really ****ing hate Carlos Mencia. Just want to throw that out there. Dane Cook’s not too bad. He’s terribly overrated, but he’s all right taken in small doses.
