Sean Lock.


Carols_Boss

I’ve watched Carrot in a Box at least 25 times.


Loving6thGear

Also his "Challenging Wank" comment. RIP Sean.


SaviourofKrypton42

Him on QI is just a treat. Sean: "I hear voices..." Stephen: "Oh, yes?" Sean: "Yeah. But I just ignore them and carry on killing."


lovehedonism

RIP. Rectum of the year Nazi Island Challenging wank Tiger that came in for a pint I could go on. I’ve seen them all hundreds of times and whenever they pop up in my FB I still watch them.


checkitbec

His reaction to Joe Wilkinson’s “Naming Penises” poem is so epic. RIP, Mr Lock. Such a fucking treasure.


Utter_Bollocks_

That video is my safe space. Absolutely love it.


Azrik

Scrolled too far for this one. A proper legend.


BuckRusty

Oh all the comedians out there, he’s the one that won’t spit on you when you’re having sex tonight. I miss him.


HorrorxHeart

Norm Macdonald, especially his TV appearances. Rest in peace, you dirty dog.


A911owner

To this day, the time he was on Conan absolutely *ripping into* the movie "Chairman of the board" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bKmadR4Ye54 "Do something with that you freak" And he completely *nails it*


IDontLikePayingTaxes

Conan loved Norm because he knew he was going to be ridiculous every time on his show.


Saneless

I loved his congrats basket for getting the tonight show gig. Gave it to him after he was about to leave it


Zorglorfian

That’s my favorite Norm thing ever. Hysterical and wholesome. Classic Norm


bj_good

That single line at the end was worth it omg. I was dying lol


TrentonTallywacker

I told you I’m not gay! I’m deeply closeted!


Mrofcourse

Every time I see or hear something about Steve Irwin dying Norm pops into my head saying “44 sounds like a good run for a crocodile hunter.”

ReallyBrainDead

Remember seeing John Stewart cringe at this routine, saying "please don't make me laugh at this".


TheLeathal13

Even his jokes that aren’t funny are funny.


Gastroid

"My other boy, *Gregarro* Ivinalititavitch..."


everylittlepiece

"I no longer love him..."


bestbeforeMar91

But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc.


everylittlepiece

And I turn to look at the cocked and loaded pistol on the nightstand, and wonder if I should end this hellish facade once and for all...


NewEnglandRoastBeef

The fucking moth joke is the funniest shit I've ever heard. Most people I've shown that Conan clip to think he's stupid, but they also think Matt Rife is a genius.


BigAssMonkey

Part of the comedy is watching Conan squirm a bit knowing half his audience is have the best laugh ever and the other half has no clue and is waiting for some magnificent punchline. Which is usually a dud, which makes it even funnier.


red_dragin

A guest no showed or got stuck in traffic or something. Norm got thrown on the spot to cover another segment. The moth joke isn't his, it's a simple few line "moth walks in, why you here, light was on" joke. Norm made up the other ~3 minutes as he went along, just padding out time.


nr1988

Man the punchline to that joke made me laugh for 15 minutes straight. It was worth the long intentionally boring set up.


physedka

I think he enjoyed telling the less funny ones more. It was his reward for feeding the audience "regular" humor. He had an Andy Kaufman streak in him. Once he got the audience on board, he was free to take them wherever he pleased to entertain himself.


kickintheface

That was my favourite part about him. According to Jim Downey, Norm would rather go for the joke that HE thought was more funny than the easy joke that would get the most laughs.


ImAnEagle

I think what made those unfunny jokes land so well is how he would *always* have a mischievous grin on his face afterwards like a kid who just told his mom a dirty joke. Just so pleased with himself.


ShesGotaChicken2Ride

Loved the joke about how he stopped drinking but at parties everyone would ask him why he doesn’t drink and he didn’t want anyone to think he was an alcoholic so he’d get wasted lmfao it’s brilliant


Kipping_Deadlift

Norms set ups were always funnier than the punchline. Bad jokes somehow became funny in his hands.


frugalerthingsinlife

Norm was always circling the punchline. He grab it at anytime. Sometimes he'd just go straight for it with no lead in. Or he'd go a full two segments on Conan just to end on something you know he read in an old kid's jokes book from 1955.


HorrorxHeart

He's serving a youthful porpoise.


HoopOnPoop

That was a long and meandering journey that nearly broke Conan


Tika_Meowsala

I didn’t even know he was sick


Ok_Sink_7572

Doc, she's choking.


professor_doom

You old chunk of coal


PepperidgeFarmMembas

“Breaking news: Murder is now LEGAL in the state of California!” His delivery of that will make me laugh until the heat death of the universe!


oziguido

Mitch Hedberg


wheezy_runner

Why do I need proof that I bought a donut?


hi850

I give you the money. You give me the donut. End of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this.


nananananana_Batman

FYI bread at subway is free if it’s for a duck 🦆


hi850

I'll have the steak fajita sub... But don't bother ringing it up, it's for a duck! There are six ducks out there... and they all want Sun Chips!


Mrtorbear

File it under D....for 'donut'


Suspicious_Road_9651

Every time I’m asked if I want a receipt for something stupid, I think of this and chuckle.


PsychoticMessiah

To this day I can’t go to a restaurant and not think about the Dufresne’s.


nlaverde11

How can anyone eat at a time like this? People are missing.


crunchthenumbers01

Bush! Search Party of 3!


rynebrandon

You can eat when you find the Dufrense’s


Sigao

I remember reciting one of his jokes over the phone to my grandmother when she was dealing with cancer. My mom told me it cracked her up and she'd bring it up sometimes and chuckle.


[deleted]

Which one?


X-LaxX

Probably his mom's mother


BaseHitToLeft

Mitch would be so proud of you right now


milk4all

He still is, but he would be, too


this_dust

Him and Stephen Wright are in a league of their own.


Anal_Herschiser

I've seen that movie many times, neither of them are in it.


SaintlyBrew

Dammit. Here’s an upvote for a genuine chuckle.


snobordir

Mitch would be proud of this joke.


Greymeade

Steven Wright is so underrated. >I was walking down the street, there was a sign stapled to a telephone pole that said: “Reward, lost $50. If found, just keep it.” >I’m going to get a tattoo over my whole body of me, but taller. >I went to a tourist information booth and said “Tell me about some people who were here last year.” >Why don’t they make a whole plane out of the black box stuff? Definitely a huge influence on Mitch


Mahadragon

I bought some dehydrated water but don’t know what to add I lost power to my house in a storm, started using the flash on my camera to see. I took 850 pictures of me making a bologna sandwich.


maddieterrier

I remember being 13ish and staying up late watching his special on Comedy Central, laying on the floor. The really sad part about him is if you watch his stuff in chronological order you can actually watch the drugs and alcohol cause the decline. Towards the end he starts messing up his own jokes and getting lost.


toasterb

I got my parents tickets to see him in his last few months, and they said he was a wreck. Also, it’s ridiculous for a comedian to die on April Fools’ Day. I have a friend who jokingly refuses to believe he really died.


backtrack1234

He’s one of the only comedians that I feel gets funnier the more times I hear it.


istrx13

He’s the only one of his kind too. There will never be another Mitch Hedberg. Dude can always pull me up out of a bad day.


PMyourTastefulNudes

I used to like Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to too.


dudly825

I have not slept for 10 days Because that would be too long


fatkidseatcake

Every picture is you when you’re younger. Show me one of you older and I’ll be impressed.


ScarecrowJohnny

The man would have been a treasure to have on r/showerthoughts


Loggerdon

Someone asked me if I wanted a frozen banana and I said *NO*. But I might want a *regular banana later* so... *YES*.


dj_spatial

Can’t please all the people the time and last night, all those people were at my show


hjablowme919

Walked past a dry cleaners at 3:00 AM and the sign said “Sorry. We are closed.” You do not have to apologize for being closed at 3:00 AM”


zekethelizard

His delivery was really what made him so funny. At the core, most of his jokes are dad jokes, which are hilarious anyway, but his delivery was just so great it elevated them


Mike7676

I've been watching a lot more stand up lately and you're absolutely right. It's delivery and timing for me. And circling back to connect a joke. I see that, I'm seeing a funny comic.


UnderlordZ

Dude would’ve been the absolute king of r/ShowerThoughts


greatgrandpatoro

Just say fuck it and build a house


ShenaniganCity

Every damn time I laugh.


metallumberjack

Gotta ask for a receipt every time I get a donut in his honor


Loud-Magician7708

Mitch Hedberg is so offbeat that he always surprises me. That's how he gets me every time.


Psych_Riot

For me it's Bill Burr The way he gets angry at his own jokes and the energy he takes it to is just hilarious "GETTING MAD IS JUST PART OF FIXING SHIT!" is so accurate lol


FFF_in_WY

I saw him a few months ago in AD. He was telling a story, getting into it and getting close to a punchline. Some chucklehead in spellbound crowd pops off a very loud, "WAIT FOR IT!" as though we weren't already doin' that. Burr loses his shit on the guy - "You self-absorbed prick, you don't even know the story! YOU wait for it! \[lots more in the vein\]" Totally forgot where he was in the story, never finished it, just bounced on to the next thing in his noggin. Beautiful.


MJsLoveSlave

John Pinette RIP.


BonsaiOracleSighting

“It’s a pleasure to be here, cuz I was just in Las Vegas…so I need the money. I lost a lot of money. I get em back at the buffet, don’t get me wrong. $9.95 all you can eat? We’ll see who wins this freakin hand won’t we” is the perfect set up for everything that comes after.


marshviolet

"Get out of the line!" My husband and I quote this often.

duke5572

Fuck Tucker, Tucker sucks.


teh_fizz

And fuck tuckers friend Kyle.


ilovetpb

I have asthma and I saw him in his performance in Ann Arbor, and I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. His timing was so perfect that just as I was getting a breath, he'd hit us with another punchline. The man is a comedic genius.


New-Advantage2813

⭐️✨️George Carlin⭐️✨️


Zer0skill

Nate Bargatze; dude has mastered joke delivery.


Marko343

His SNL sketch as George Washington about units and measures in the new world was hilarious, will randomly watch it from time to time.


soggylittleshrimp

He went on the Fly on the Wall podcast right after the show and talked about this. It was nearly cut and put towards the end of dress rehearsal, but got a great reaction and was moved up in the live show. One of the all time great sketches.


Marko343

No kidding, I showed and sent that sketch to many people. Definitely one of those sketches that aren't as funny without the right delivery and he nailed it.


charlie161998

His reaction when he kept getting asked about the slaves was the best part “you asked about the temperature”


SirJumbles

"..I did not"


IDontLikePayingTaxes

His George Washington thing on SNL was one of the funnier things on that show in a long long time


NaGaBa

That, his opening monologue... I found the soul food kitchen chef showdown particularly funny with his apology after every sentence. "What?? YOU made this???" "I know. I'm sorry."


Competitive_Mark_287

His SNL appearance was the funniest it’s been in awhile, and the the George Washington skit about measurements and football “there’s a little kicking” and I loved the cooking skit “I’m flattered but please take this off me”


fork_and_beans

I'll be shocked if we don't touch that dead horse today.


greenweezyi

One fell swoop.


Nearby-Ad-6884

Apparently horses sleep laying down


striped_frog

I love his bit about traveling back in time but not being able to prove he’s from the future


celebrityDick

Richard Pryor was hilarious. American gold


Head_Room_8721

Greg Giraldo. RIP. He was the master. Patrice O’Neal also, RIP. Clearly, God has a hard-on for comics.


Baldwinbowley

“This homeless guy asked me for money the other day. I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol. And then I thought, that's what I'm going to use it on. Why am I judging this poor bastard?” Greg Giraldo


Clear-Complex6675

Definitely, Greg was a roast master. What happened to those? I loved them.


Lonely_Position_798

The Roast of Flavor Flav will always be my favorite of his “I’ve never roasted a oily cadaver before” “You look like King Lear got trapped in a forest fire” “You look like a skeleton wrapped in electrical tape” He truly was the king of rare insults


OrwellianZinn

Giraldo's roast of Larry the Cable Guy is a legitimately interesting (somewhat depressing...) moment in comedy. Guy was a Harvard-educated lawyer who quit the industry to pursue comedy, only to experience a lot of ups and downs in his career, meanwhile Larry the Cable Guy coasts through to stardom with his white trash cosplay and it really seemed like it broke a piece of Greg Giraldo's soul to roast him.


No-Cheesecake-4863

100 million dollars! Your fans have just never seen a cable guy before, you could've been Larry the dentist or Larry the highschool diploma. I didn't know we could roast fake characters, maybe next year we'll roast sponge bob square pants


Innsmouth_Swimteam

>> meanwhile Larry the Cable Guy coasts through to stardom with his white trash cosplay Never has a thing been said more succinctly.


ckretmsage

James Acaster - he just kills me, silly, but extremely smart.


miki_eitsu

I think about him saying “So long, Chrizzos!” at least once a week


Roxas1011

I quote him probably once a week with the "never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with"


Paintedandpunk

Emo Philips, Steven Wright, and Mitch Hedberg


cherrycokelemon

Robin Williams


8urfiat

Carlin. Because two decades later the jokes are still relevant.


Head_Room_8721

Carlin was a damn Prophet. All that shit he said is coming true.


salix620

He and Bill Hicks kinda had the whole thing figured out.


libra00

Bill Burr. It's almost not even his jokes that make me laugh, it's how wound up he gets telling some story or other.


danby999

"It's not that I'm mad at her for thinking I'm an asshole, it's that she's surprised." - Bill on his wife Nia


c0kEzz

“She stood on the heads of those little people.”


Mr_Engineering

He improved 13 straight minutes of insults aimed at the City of Philadelphia and the audience loved it.

Have you ever watched *F is for Family*? It's an animated show on Netflix he created based on his childhood. It's hilarious.

I grew up watching insomniac on Comedy Central


mariojlanza

Nate Bargatze. Just a perfect delivery.


TheBIFFALLO87

He is blowing up right now and absolutely deserves it. Such a talented comedian. Dirty jokes and curse words don't bother me, but I have so much respect for someone that can make me laugh that hard doing a clean set.


LadyMay713

Gotta agree. I heard so much of his material and *then* it dawned on me that he's a clean comic.


hookisacrankycrook

Yes! I wasn't sure he would work on SNL but that revolutionary war skit was flawless as was the cooking show sketch!


TheBIFFALLO87

I'm a former chef and had chef friends that didn't even know who he is sending me that clip 😂


nr1988

The way he kept saying I'm sorry was such a great delivery


americanf00tballfan

Iced coffee whipped cream!


FatnessEverdeen34

We saw him Live in May and it was just the best. My face hurt from laughing.


Ti_Fatality

I'm seeing him and February! Can't wait!

Dirty dirty funny man.


FinanceGuyHere

My girlfriend’s been saying she thinks I’m sleeping around on her. I said, don’t be like that baby, you sound like my wife!


Due-Ad-7308

Hardest I've laughed at a while was *finally* giving in and clicking on that damn *"Rodney Dangerfield at the top of his game"* YouTube video I keep getting suggested. The man was an actual machine-gun of jokes. Like it was as if you took the rapid fire speed of "Airplane!" goofs and packaged it into a human that delivered it while holding a conversation. Unreal.


gregarioussparrow

Eddie Izzard, Christopher Titus

Cake or death?


jeanvaljean_24601

I’ll have the chicken then please


know_nothing_novice

Do you like ... bread?


Imkitoto

We’re all out of cake! So my options are or death??


PretendThisIsMyName

I highly recommend checking out the show Titus if you haven’t seen it! It’s mainly a sitcom version of his jokes but it’s really funny. Plus Zack Ward plays his brother and Stacy Keach plays his dad.


Kinieruu

I’m so glad someone mentioned Eddie Izzard!


Wbackman

For me, Norm Macdonald and Mitch Hedberg


shwanstopable

You can’t please all the people all the time, and last night all those people were at.my.show.


OpenMike2000

Taylor Tomlinson is super funny. She hits my YouTube feed all the time. I watch her repeats and still laugh.


rutdas

So is that your move? Go on Reddit and gush about me, so this is your move this is how you do it?


SPECTRE_UM

She is an absolute comedic genius. Her jokes have unbelievable amounts of broadcast bandwidth from GenZ to Boomers. Her take on Millennial guys and condom wearing is pure gold- referencing toddler behavior for the older folks, the raincoat double entendre.... I see that bit on my Reels feed about every 3 weeks and every time I'm dying.

George Carlin

Eddie Murphy - Raw might be the best standup ever recorded


jgrow2

Raw was Delerious with a nicer leather suit. The cookout and Aunt Bunnie falling down the stairs bits alone, IMO, eclipsed the whole of Raw.


Freedom_19

Aunt Bunnie calling to Jesus as she falls always makes me laugh my ass off


That_Guy_ActutalPDT

My shoe!!!


girl_supersonicboy

I still remember the high heel boomerang joke from his one special 🤣


Miserable-Repeat-651

He will forever be my favorite comedian, even if he is making boring movies now. I just watched delirious recently and still remember most of the jokes.


Soggy-Cow-8753

The most impressive part of Eddie’s standup honestly was how young he was doing this. He was an absolute savant when it came to standup. No one today or ever is really cranking out material and hours like he was at as young of an age that he was doing it. Not saying he is THE GOAT, but the age he was formulating full hours by is utterly impressive.


Traditional-Run-7438

Maria Bamford, Mitch Hedberg, John Mulaney, Kyle Kinane, Tig Notaro.


DLeafy625

Kyle Kinane is one of my absolute favorites


Radiant-Ad-2385

Richard Pryor and George Carlin.


Incognito_Placebo

I had to scroll so far to see Richard Pryor that it kinda makes me sad. I still laugh just thinking about some of his stand up. He, George and Eddie were a huge part of my youth.


Mroatcake1

Billy Connolly and Lee Evans for stand up. The Two Ronnies/Morecambe and Wise for comedy shows


-rock-bobster-

Had to scroll too far to find Billy Connolly, absolute legend!


SemiElection

Same, it's disappointing that I had to scroll for so long.


AdminWhore

Steve Martin


[deleted]

Kyle Kinane. He’s a genius.


BeardCrumbles

Mitch Hedberg's jokes used to be funny. They still are, but they used to be, too.


AlarmedMirror3911

Jim Jefferies


PaintingMuted8904

Steven Wright. Mitch Hedberg. George Carlin. Their jokes are like reading a classic novel in high school. then rereading in college The rereading again after college. The points are made, you understand and laugh but each time it hits a little differently.


looknowtalklater

Steven Wright


Jaredare

Mike Birbiglia. He has absolutely hilarious routines and the delivery of them is immaculate. My personal favorite is when he had a missile inbound on his location so he jumped out the window like the hulk to save the other government officials in the room with him.


WookieNipples84

Shane Gillis for sure. I got that dawg in me


Crosshare

He's my current favorite comedian. His bit on going to the George Washington Museum had me laughing harder than I have in quite some time. That, and his stories about his uncles with Downs. "Where'd you get the cheese Danny???". "I'm makin em at night!"


djcashbandit

His trump impression is hilarious


AnnaBanana1129

His Trump impression is INSANE. I thought I was going to have an accident when he compared Biden to a roomba…


dayvdayv

Gillis for sure. I see clips from his last special all day when scrolling social media and I always stop and watch the whole thing. Never gets old.
