WINNER ANNOUNCED!! Friday Funny & Weekend Greatest Of All Time Comedian Battle... 3-cigar sampler prize!!

[MoeFOH]

This weekend post up the clips of your choice for GOAT comedian... 3-cigar sampler prize randomly drawn from all contributors. 3 clips max per member. 

The legend Richard Pryor has to get my vote... one of my favourite bits ever below... genius!

Have fun with it and have a great weekend, folks! 

 

[Nevrknow]

GOAT=Pryor. Game over. 😁

[Capn_Jackson]

So you just scored a touchdown on the first play of the game. Hard to top Pryor, but I’ll submit Carlin as another one of the greats.

 

[Jfeath74]

Prior & Carlin are hard to beat, but I’ll go with a clip from a living legend, Dave Attell.

Enter Norm, the master of dry humor and perspective. This clip is a take on Tiger Woods 

FYI -His memoir is a must-read for any fan. An absolute masterpiece. 

 

 

[Capn_Jackson]

This may be a wildly unpopular opinion, and maybe it’s a little generational, but I thought Mitch Hedberg was pretty funny. Maybe not one of the best comics of his time, but certainly a fringe favorite. His shows were hit and miss, and his heavily induced self-deprecation got tiresome, but his quick jokes were witty and always made me laugh if he delivered them well.  

 

[Ken Gargett]

all good contenders and worthy of inclusion on lower podium spots. 

robin williams. daylight second. he is so good i am not even going to load anything - just google. because everything he did was sheer, pure magic. 

and from way out in left field, best aussie - well, at least he would win all time greatest ever interview - norman gunston. here, interviewing sally struthers. non aussies might struggle.

 Ali G.....this one is a classic David Beckam

[M1B]

Doesn't get much better than Bill Burr imho.

 

[M1B]

 

[Hypersomniac]

Big fan of Chappelle.

[Edicion]

A young Eddie Murphy 

 

 

 

[joeypots]

This holds up as well as anything I've ever watched. He is missed.

funny you posted this. it was the clip i was going to include but then i thought so much is so good, but if you had to find one...

[GotYaGoat]

 

[Blakes]

There is a video of this somewhere but I can't find it at the moment..... 
 

 

Edit: Found it! Second half of this video... start at 4.57 😁
 

 

[Lewberry]

Grew up watching all the Jim Carrey movies, and some of these scenes I will never forget (Ace Ventura Rhino Scene), and when I got older did I begin to realize his greatness started way before then. Anyway, enjoy the brief. 

 

[TroutBum]

Pryor for me huge norm fan as well though

I was going to put this one too. The whole Live On Broadway video is a treasure. I’ve watched the entire thing many times.

The part about Bible history is also top-caliber!

[Guest Nekhyludov]

Louis CK has become a pariah the past few years and while I don't think he's the GOAT, he belongs in the conversation on merit alone.

 

[Edicion]

As above, Louis CK should be considered among the goats. This might be the best dog story ever told

There's another clip where he talks about a Bruce Springsteen experience - Hates cell phones. Pure genius 

[Edicion]

Jo Koy, Dave Chappelle, Joey Diaz are some of the funniest people alive but I think Bobby Lee could be one of the best to ever do it Hope he can release a few specials.

 

 

[Lfhard]

My new favorite comedian that has had me dying on his latest release is Jo Koy live from LA. His previous stand ups were good too but this last one was the best I think. This is the best clip I can find from the part that had my dying. 

 

[ayedfy]

Stewart Lee's not for everyone. Mostly wankers like me.

 

[Ford2112]

I'd go Norm Macdonald as my personal favorite but Patrice was right up there.
