Kinda just started watching his late night show and he has some funny bits!

" Now Esther they should've run over your face"

The godfather of stand up ranked at 84, Seriously! This man inspired many to follow in his footsteps, a real pioner.

"A man offered Esther candy to get under the car. "

She is the funniest comedian ever! She should be at least in the top 5. She is one of those comics where everybody gets made fun of so we can all laugh at ourselves.

She's better than Dane Cook! c'mon be real! All hail the Queen of Mean! =)

she dosent care what u say she is herself and proud about it she had me rolling on the floor love her!!!

Rodney is #47? Ask the comedians rated above him who's funnier. You'll then get a proper ranking for him: Definitely Top 5. Mike Birbiglia edges out Rodney?
Rodney's gravestone: There goes the neighborhood.
My favorite of all times.

Listen to his Biography, he was the mentor for modern day commedy!

Dangerfield's the man. Watch any of his spots on Johnny and you'll agree. Many of the people rated above are hacks next to this ace of comedy.

frank is one of the best comedians out there! top ten for sure!

Frank's comedy is brilliant and I can't wait to actually see him live!

Jon is hilarious. He is so cynical and his stories about annoying things people do are great.

WHY ISN'T HE UP HERE!

HE IS AMAZING

RIP Richard Jeni

A true genius in the comedy relm, A big fat pile of steaming me. HBO show

"The only people who like to sit in the back row of an airplane are people with diarera or people who want to meet people with diarea"

He's number 1 in my book!

"If you mow your lawn and find a car, you might be a redneck" HOW CAN JEFF NOT BE HIGHER

Bec

"If you go to the Family Reunion to meet women, you might be a Redneck..."

Saw him in November. I don't think I stopped laughing until he left the stage. So funny. Would love to see him again

Only stand up comedian I laugh at. Makes me giggle like a little girl. Funniest comedian bar none.

Dice is one of the funniest comedians ever! Nobody does comedy like dice does ya hear! ohhhhhh

screamingly funny, consistently... as John, himself, would say, "tell me more! "

Very funny take on current events. If you like the Daily Show then you need to see his stand up!

His stand up was so insightful and thought-provoking. I really admired how earnest he seemed in his points, yet how hilarious he would still be. As much as I love The Daily Show, I still miss his stand up!

BY FAR THE GR8EST! Hilarious! Witty! Original! Creative! Extremely Versatile.!... The list goes on and on really.

He is the next george carlin. Telling it like it is and he will not be ranked high because it makes "normal people mad". What ever that means. He is perfect comedy for anyone who grew up as a red dot in a blue sea, and now you find yourself as a blue dot in a red sea.

Totally under-rated and deserves some comedy central viewing time. Absoltely hilarious and very clever! I'll be sharing his name around :)

While maybe not the best ever (LOUIS CK IS AWESOME) Chris gets my vote for being a wonderful comedian who knows that true humor comes from pain. Anybody who can go through life and see the funny... That is a person that not only has my respect but my funny bone. GO CHRISTOPHER!

"You wanna hear the funniest part of that story? Where my mom, y'know, shoots and kills a man? "

"Chris Titus: People, be proud you're screwed up. But don't be too proud, like me. I got into an argument with a guy in bar; I bet him fifty bucks that I was more dysfunctional than he was. And he raped me.
[laughter]
Chris Titus: So I tipped him.
[laughter]
Chris Titus: I am very competitive. "

He is my favorite ever! I think he is so funny, I love his personality too! He cracks me up every time!

He brings storytelling to comedy, using his Texan drawl, signature cigar-smoking/whiskey drinking and folksy delivery in a hilarious way.

My personal favorite, witty without being overbearing, you can tell he's very intelligent, but he doesn't rub it in your face. Perfect understanding of comedic timing and always has a truly hilarious premise.

It was close tie between larry and Ron white but I like Larry a little bit better. Git-er-done

All I have to say is... This list is the stupidest list ever not to rank the cable guy as number 1! Enough said

This is the man with the laughs! Everything he does is funny! His sense of humor and expressions are worth watching!

"I went to a dance club the other night, which was timely, because my self-esteem had been hovering around normal and I'd been meaning to knock it down to -1000. "

"Cracka please! " Every show gets better and better. I don't see/hear many comedians pull that off.

"I went to the doctor the other day and they told me there was something in my bladder. But it's never anything good, like, we found something... aaaand it's season tickets to the Yankees! "

I think he lost me with his bomb of a television show, but his standup is absolutely insane. I nearly died laughing, I saw it a week ago unrated and I'm still laughing just thinking about it. The joke about getting a massage from E. Honda was insane, I honestly wanted to turn it off because I didn't think I would make it through the rest of the special.

His stand-up had me laughing for an hour. I love him, I couldn't even pick one quote. Great stories

46!? Are you kidding me? Nick Swardson's seriously who farted made me laugh non-spot for at least and 3 hours. I LOVED his story about the Asain spa with the elder woman who jerked him off at the end of the massage and he claims she "attacked his dick with her hand" so he had to masturbate himself and she started cheering him on! Haha best moment ever!

I'm so glad I discovered Simon Amstell. Watched his Do Nothing stand-up and it was great! It was awkwardly hilarious but also had a deep that I've never really seen in a comedian. Often it's "haha-jokes" or analyzing other people and the behaviour of human kind (which of course also can be funny), but Simon brings something else, he brings himself. It's courage, comedy and coconess.

On NMTB you can also see his punchlines which are awesome. Also, I always wanted to do "The one and only" thing, and when I saw him do that.. Man. I wish I knew the guy. We would have fun. I know it. Anyway.
Just look him up.

I love Henry! Technically he is "spoken word" but he is funnier than most of the people in the top 50 and very original, angry but with a lot of humanity.

Right up there with George Carlin. I can't believe no one else listed him.

He is by farr my favourite comedian
She is very endeering and you can't help but in fall in love with her the second she opens her mouth
definitely should be number 1!

'A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.'

An excellence comedian who is unapologetic in mannerism and content. One of those rare people who manages to make everyone feel good by making himself feel terrible. On purpose, even!

The most underrated comedian in existence, amazing stage presence and really makes you think.

I've listened to both of his albums on Spotify at LEAST a dozen times each... His wit is sharp, and his timing is spot-on! When my spirits need a boost, I find myself going back to his albums again and again. Smart, funny and honest humor!

I watched his Comedy Central Presents special, in pain I was laughing so hard. And when it was over, I immediately started it from the beginning and watched it again! He's fantastic!

Mulaney has great material. I can watch New in Town over and over and still laugh every time. "the salt and pepper diner"

bill bailey is an amazing comedian because of his uniqe style and he's even funny to look at. bill is an amazing comedian as well as a musician.

This guy is the most under-rated comedian out! He has me laughing just as much as gevais, eddie murphy and lee evans. Plus I meet him in tesco's brook green, hammersmith. As good a reason as any to vote for someone I think.

Bill Bailey hands down comedy genius - an intellectual who also is a cracking musician and a thoroughly nice bloke. Gets his politics across without being preachy, has a great line in the bizarre, and for the 'family' audience he rarely swears or tells 'nob' jokes.

Without a shade of doubt one of the most brilliant and prolific stand-up comedians of all time. He's put out two outstanding DVDs and his improvising skills are OFF THE CHARTS. Watch any episode of "8 Out Of 10 Cats", you'll see what I have in mind.

Genuine love for this man brilliant stand up, actor, host and writer

If you don't know who he is you haven't lived just watch fresh meat to see what I mean!

THE best comedian ever! He's in fresh meat and has his own show... His stand up is hilarious I have never laughed so much, in my life. 122 is an joke this person should be number 1 x

He has a completely different style of comedy to anyone else on the planet which is what makes him so hilarious. Mayabe not one of the most famous but definitely one of the greatest in a long time.

His Whimsical outlook his so ludicras it's actually funny.

This "observational comedian" is wonderful, humoristic and sarcastic. He's in league with the big guy if only people would see it!

"Do you know who I like? No, you don't. So I'm gonna tell you. Because if you did know who I like, that would have been weird " it means you're in my head. "

"Sometimes you should say the right thing. But the wrong thing is funnier... "

"As my mother always says, If you have to swear to get laughs, then you're obviously a ct. "

Funny and family friendly! He appeals to parents and kids.
"Here's your sign! "

Everyone that was on the blue Collar tour should be way higher. Bill, Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy should all be in the top ten. I've heard plenty of the comedians that are up there, so I KNOW that these guys are better. Especially Bill.

alterbridgefan

He's way better than 90 of all of those comedians

He's very unique and a very amusing comedian to listen to. He should be higher on this list than many of the others.

This man is the funniest man in Britain! Look up his stand-ups on Youtube and I swear you will pee your pants! He creates hilarity from situations that happen to us everyday for example, trying to explain to your mum about her mobile phone! Look him up!

Not just an insomniac. Hysterical.

Dave Attell at 73? Too funny to be this low. If you like comedy, you have to check Dave out, his delivery is so perfect that he can make anything funny. But thankfully, he does jokes and leave audiences in tears, he's so funny.

Whether you see Ralphie May in person or in one of his three OUTSTANDING tv specials, he is an A. He belongs top 5 without a doubt!

This dope smokin pork chop had my face hurting, because I laughed so hard!

Funniest comedian I've ever seen! Should've been in the top ten at least. My girlfriend peed her pants after his show

This man is god of the F*** Everything. He is the man. Really Carlos Mencia ranked higher? WTF SEX Drugs, Chain smoking and hating everything that sucks.

Cappuccino, Frappuccino, Rappuccino, Al Pacino, Just give me a F... Ing coffee flavored coffee! Love this guy

The only thing I really do love of Denis Leary is because of the fact that he is "Hand... Some" and is down right funny if he could do his comedies more so about Barack Obama as the Donkey he is. Even though if I was married to Denis himself id be the Next "Future Mrs. Gavin" because I have a lot of Bratty and so much congeniality twards the fact I find Denis with a good heart but could he'd be a little less of cussing... Thank you and Denis I find you really sexy for your own age and love you as the "Man... " you are and respect you and your family a lot and a great thanks for supporting the 9-11 from "Rescue Me", By the way I would love to see you to really cry for REAL even play sensitive roles too, PLEASE thanks Leah McPherson of Ohio I may have downsyndrome but some more like you a little.

She is funniest comedian I know of. So funny, can't catch my breath when I watch her, she literally makes me laugh so much I strt crying :'). Such a good laugh!

I called up the spiritual leader of Tibet the other day. He sent me a goat with a very long neck. Turned out I phoned Dial a Llama.

Donald's ability to entertain the audience with his life stories as a child who grew up with foster kids is absolutely astounding. The way he "Keeps things real" gives a down to Earth sensation. If you watched the show he stars in, Community, you already know he does an amazing job, just wait until you see his stand-up. Warning, stand-up is not as family friendly as the show Community.

Comedian, singer, writer, actor, this guy can do it all.

I'd much rather have AIDS than a baby. They're not that different at all. They're both expensive, you have them for the rest of your life, they're constant reminders of the mistakes you've made and once you have them, you pretty much can only date other people who have them.

Hands down the funniest man alive. He can make anything funny...and yet he can relate to anyone out there. That's his strength

Rodney deserves at least top 20. Just watch his Live at the Majestic performance and you'll agree.

Rodney needs to be at #1. Largely because he is like you and me, normal. His songs are funny, and we can all relate, I put a d*** on a snow mwn, hell yeah. This man is funny, we've all been in his situations. Going home with a fat girl. He is great, talking bout seeing a snake in the wild. And about dying drunk, hell yeah, this is the greatest comedian ever.
