A Barrel of Laughs: The Comedian Appreciation Thread

Recommended Posts

Warning: May include offensive language.

 

Surely everyone has got a funny bone when it comes to certain comedians. Who are your favourites? Or maybe someone's favourite is someone you absolutely loathe? So what's your kind of comedy when it comes to other people who do this for a living? This is the thread centered around those celebrities who have made a name of themselves thanks to their humor.

 

I'll admit it from the get go, I find British humor the funniest, and it's what I often watch (you'll find those sources of entertainment next to the comedian's names). That's something we can discuss, but firstly, here's a few favourites of mine for example.

 

Charlie Brooker (Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe)

 

Frank Skinner, Romesh Ranganathan and Greg Davies (Taskmaster and Mock the Week)

 

Frankie Boyle (Mock the Week, Tramadol Nights and Live stand up)

 

Harry Hill (Harry Hill's TV Burp)

 

Karl Pilkington (The Moaning of Life)

 

Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh)

 

Chris O'Dowd, Katherine Parkinson, Matt Berry and Richard Aoyade (The IT Crowd)

 

Simon Amstell (Never Mind The Buzzcocks)

 

Stewart Francis (Live)

David Mitchell and Lee Mack (Would I Lie to You?)

Well, first off, i'm a fan of the Whose Line is it Anyway? dudes, the majority of 'em are incredibly funny. I also dig Noel Fielding, the The IT Crowd gang, Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, Louis CK, Hannibal Buress...

 

Does non-standup comedy count? If so, I gotta add the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia crew to my list of favs as well, in that case... That show is AMAZING.
