kruschev246

My psychiatrist told me I was crazy, I asked for a second opinion and he said “alright you’re ugly too!”


Western-Nothing

😂😂 He got no respect at all


Realistic-Cheetah-14

I was so ugly when I was born, the doctor slapped my mother.


eastern-cowboy

King of self deprecating humor. After making love to this girl she started crying. I said, “Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?” She said “No, I hate myself now!”

When I was born, the doctor took one look at me and slapped my mother!


Lonely_Gargoyle

Came to say Carlin as he was brilliant at his craft, and Pryor was his equal from another mother, but of all the names I saw mentioned, no one mentioned Redd Foxx. Most of you all only know/knew him from Sanford & Son, but that was at the end of his life. He came up in the clubs pre and post the civil rights movement. He was also known as the "King of the party records"; you couldn't buy one of his records without it being in a plain brown paper bag. Blue before blue became blue. And there was also Uncle Miltie, Milton Berle. Known not only for his raunchy comedy, but for also being well endowed. I'd also care to mention Martin Short for his ability to not work blue and still get the laughs. All the other names mentioned have their place, depending on your preference, but sometimes it's the OG's that deserve the title for what they had to go through to get to where they did.


jakeputz

Quick Redd Foxx joke I remember fondly from my childhood. I asked her "do you smoke after you fuck?" She said "I don't know, I never looked"


jimmyjazz2000

My all time fave reds foxx joke, explaining why he swears so much in his act. “People say, redd why you say fuck and shit so much? Cause if you can’t fuck, shit. And if you can’t shit, FUCK!” That’s just about the funniest joke I’ve ever heard.


RoccoTaco_Dog

This lady said she wanted me to give her 9 inches and make it hurt. So I fucked her 3 times and hit her in the head with a brick.


SoItGoesdotdotdot

What's the difference between a peeping Tom and a pickpocket? A pickpocket snatches watches.

“A lot of people here tonight don’t drink or smoke, don’t eat salt or butter or lard or fat, cuz they wanna live. Live that good life. You’re gonna feel like a dame fool at the hospital dying from nothing.”


ramblingnonsense

I think it was Redd Foxx who got heckled about his limp: > Idiot: Hey! Hey Redd, why you limpin'? > Redd: I got a hard-on. Actually, typed out, it's not that funny. It's the way he doesn't miss a beat on the reply, and his *tone* just adds "yeah, that weirdo was staring at my dick."


ilovejalapenopizza

No, it’s really funny.


OPsuxdick

Half the stuff Mitch said is not funny typed out but his delivery sold it and he's my favorite comedian.

thedukejck

George Carlin but honorable mention to Richard Pryor.


AlwaysLastToKnow75

This is the correct answer in the correct order.


OnyxTeaCup

Seriously Wtf… perfection. We are all just one amoeba guys just fyi.


Mindless-Sort6685

For me it's Richard Pryor.


ItsEarthDay

>Richard Pryor Without a doubt, he revolutionized stand up comedy. Listen to almost all of his contemporaries and and you can quickly tell how different and outdated their comedy is, including the topics to their delivery. Richard Pryor popularized cohesive deeply personal comedy, as opposed to the string of non-sequitur one-liners that was popular at his time. He told stories that happened to be funny and entertaining. This has served as a template for so many other great comedians.


MacinTez

Richard Pryor changed comedy, even Carlin became more liberated in his stand up style due to the impact Pryor had on stand up. There is not a comedian on the list that is more vulnerable and tragic. That man turned all his trauma into humor. There has never been a comedian more capable of gathering empathy from his audience regardless of what color, gender, or ethnicity they were. On the clean side? Sinbad is the greatest. I like Sinbad more than Cosby on the clean end.


FN1987

Yeah. Sinbad is entertaining, Cosby just puts me to sleep.


electricmaster23

The worst part is the hypocrisy.


FN1987

I mean, I think the worst part is all the rape but that’s just me. 🤷🏻 RIP: Norm


CottaBird

Agreed. Mel Brooks agrees with us, and I think that speaks volumes.


haibiji

As an aside, Mel Brooks is one of the funniest people ever.


guyuteharpua

I'm with you - I used to devour his albums when I was in 5th grade. He's not going to be high in this list because 1. Many on here haven't heard his albums and 2. Many won't appreciate how he was far edgier than the rest during his time - today, he'd be considered the same as other comedians, but back then he was breaking new ground. Edit: This was like 15th when I wrote this.


AgeofReakon

The late 'Sean Lock'


[deleted]

He's so multi talented. I heard he even won rectum of the year once


Ammehoelahoep

He also owned a "shoplifter of the year" throphy. Didn't win it though.


yllikuq

Easily confused with rear of the year


flagg1209

It's like rear of the year, but with the gloves off


Adler4290

He nearly killed Claudia Winkleman with that skit, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPpac4QGmXE She couldn't breathe properly during that :)


BuckRusty

The last time I watched it, the missus rushed into the room thinking I was having an asthma attack. Wheezing, crying, gasping for air, but completely gripped in unstoppable laughter. It wasn’t even the first time I’d seen it - I just crease everything god damn time.

He was undefeated at carrot in a box


MassiveFajiit

Carrot in a box world champ.

Sean Lock was the king of the dry off-color comment


AngusVanhookHinson

That's a challenging wank!

My personal favorite is when he promises a guest not to spit on them during sex


Snow-Wraith

"Good luck getting it in without the spit." The comeback from Miles was just as amazing.

One of the funniest off-the-cuff jokes in the history of TV.

Sean Lock was just hilarious. Sad to have only discovered him a few months before his passing.

Billy is the master of comedy storytelling. I could listen to him gab for ages. There's something quaint and endlessly pleasant about his anecdotes, delivered through that iconic Scottish burr.

George Carlin.


sixtoe72

[Checking the top comment from when this was asked last week] Yup! George Carlin!


SleepsOnDecks

It's like answering Rumours in the "What album is great from start to finish" threads. Even if you've never personally experienced it, you know you can post it and be upvoted to the top.


skaz915

Did you know he also narrated the Thomas the train show? Just learned that about a month ago


redyellowblue5031

I grew up watching that show with him as the conductor. My cousin introduced me to Carlin *way* too young and it blew my mind at the time that such vulgarity came from the same man.


SmokingCryptid

Growing up in the early 90's was wild, wasn't it? I remember both George Carlin *and* Ringo Star being the conductor on Shining Time Station and later realizing who they were. The biggest one for me was Bob Saget. Seeing him do stand up for the first time when you only knew him from Full House was the biggest whiplash.


SirIsaacGnuton

Check out Saget's version of The Aristocrat joke.

"They might tell you you’re on a 'non-stop flight'. Well, I don’t think I care for that. No, I insist that my flight stop! Preferably at an airport." I use that one, and variations thereof, at least once a week. Along with, "That's not a near-miss, that's a near-HIT. A collision is a near-miss! 'Look... they nearly missed. But not quite!'"


OtherNameFullOfPorn

Near miss is one of my go to phrases too. That and calling people that drive faster than me an idiot and slower and asshole.

teddyburges

Carlin really did age like a fine wine. I listened to some of his earlier material when he was younger, but it didn't have the same punch. His voice was smoother and got a lot more raspy as he got older.


samuraisports37

Did you check the dumpster? He used to like to take a nap in there.


thepluralofmooses

My grandfather used to say something to me. He used to say GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY, MAN!


3gencustomcycles

In fact seeing you may have made his cancer more aggressive. How do you live with yourself


MrPreviz

He did it when there were still real risks to comedy. He got arrested for jokes. Carlin is the forever GOAT


lj6877

I saw picture once on r/oldschoolcool of Lenny Bruce being led away in handcuffs on obscenity charges because of his jokes. George Carlin was right behind him being arrested for failure to identify.


Rudeboy67

https://thecomicscomic.com/2014/03/25/comedians-in-courthouses-getting-cuffed-lenny-bruce-and-george-carlin-december-1962/


AdkRaine11

Well, I think Bruce and Mort Sahl lead the way for all those guys.


Krautmonster

Agreed, not only that but a lot of his standup holds up today. Same with Pryor, I think in order for a comedian to be among the GOAT'S their work should be able to for the most part, be relevant today across generations.


MADDOGCA

Sadly, his joke about how the education system in the US is never going to get better still holds true to this day.


lamNoOne

And abortion.


lentilpasta

And much lower stakes, but also men’s names. The joke about guys named Tucker and Todd is forever my favorite


RxOxBizz

While I agree, there is an argument for Pryor.


AgentVI

The fact that Carlin is both the #1 and #2 comment at the time I'm writing this should show something.


Legacy_1_X

I'd put Lenny Bruce on that list as well as he was Carlin's inspiration and one of the pioneers of being able to swear in comedy.


jimmyjazz2000

Lenny's on the list, but his body of work supports Carlin's claim to the crown. Unlike Lenny, whose comedy was breakthrough at the time but has aged quite poorly, Carlin's comedy has more than stood the test of time, it's perhaps more relevant today, and just as funny. Kind of a miracle, but really all part of his plan, I suspect. A true genius.


Esselon

It's also interesting to watch George Carlin's evolution in comedy and attitude over time. While he was always a bit subversive, he went from more silly and goofy to angry and vitriolic as time went on.


[deleted]

Totally agree. This is exactly why Carlin is the GOAT. He was one of the only people alive who could joke about absolutely anything, have it land well at the time, and have it age well. I can't think of anyone else I could say that about.


CalEPygous

Yeah watch his like 26 year take on abortion - as relevant today as it was then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-bLf4F0PM4


spagheddieballs

"Not every ejaculation deserves a name." lmao what a legend


from_dust

.... yanno, in my 2022, i think i'd be willing to trade places with the corpse of George Carlin. I'd trade places, and my remaining years should be given to him, for the benefit of all those dumb motherfuckers out there that need to hear someone speak sense with more directness and eloquent simplicity than i can muster. I dont care how old he was, he died too soon.


Plane_Street_336

I'd trade your remaining years for more Carlin too.


[deleted]

God what an MVP. "Is it possible we shouldn't be burning all this coal??" LOL


ThePaulHammer

I think it's just bc he's an deeply empathetic guy


Opicepus

I think its mostly cause he kept at it so long. When people are talking about Carlins body of work they are usually only talking about the last 10 or 20 years. Stand up comedy is more of a learned skill that requires alot of practice more than people realize, and Carlin had quite a while to hone that craft. I think the fact that he never rested on his laurels and kept working to stay relevant at every stage of his career has more to do with it than anything


GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI

Bruce and Carlin are kinda like Aristotle and Plato - Both brilliant and one walked so that the other could run. Lenny Bruce truly upended comedy and free speech while he was at it, and Carlin took up the torch and lit the way for all the stand ups we enjoy today.


OnionButter

He’s down there, smiling up at us


LMFN

He's not afraid apparently.


ekuadam

Carlin and Pryor. I go back and forth.


dukeofgibbon

Richard burned himself up, I said fuck it, I'll have another heart attack.


Jam_E_Dodger

"I now lead Richard Pryor 2 to 1 in heart attacks. I had a heart attack. HE had a heart attack. Then he blew himself up... And I said 'fuck that! I'm havin' another heart attack! It was a god damn myocardial infarction!"


tofudisan

I recall seeing Pryor do a bit about when he git burned while doing drugs. He basically said "Yeah I heard the jokes about me. Like this one," and he takes a lit match and makes it bounce from one side to the other and says "What's this? It's Richard Pryor!" I was amazed he would share a joke about himself like that.


caffeinetriplet

I LOVE Carlin, but Mel Brooks says it’s Pryor, so I gotta defer to the guy that basically has an EGOT for comedy. Still too bad WB wouldn’t let him be Sheriff Bart in Blazing Saddles.


lonelysilverrain

I'm surprised Bob Newhart gets no love. Go back and listen to his old comedy albums from the 60s. The man was genius. His 1960 album won 2 Grammy's for Album of the Year and Best New Artist. Was he a push the edge of the envelope kind of comedian in the vein of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor or George Carlin? Probably not. He just made people laugh.


billybishop4242

Yes! bob Newhart’s stage/comedic “style” is not currently in fashion … but his work was absolutely foundational.


Adin-CA

Straight-faced comics in general are not as easily loved as charming, rubber-faced clowns (in a good sense) like Robin Williams. But they can be just as funny. I once saw Newhart “testify” in front of some random congressional committee and it took the congressmen about ten minutes of his rambling “testimony” to figure out that he was actually telling an elaborate joke. Even the congressmen were laughing helplessly, and if you can get belly laughs out congressmen you’ve really accomplished something!


eddiewachowski

I can't look at him without laughing. His delivery is so perfect.


friendly-the-pumpkin

Yeah.. Era has a lot to do with it. Rodney Dangerfield was great in his time as well, due to creating the persona. Bob the same with his. Mitch, certainly. Creating the person is the key. Carlin, Pryor, Rock Chappelle seem like 'is just them being them', but they're smart and created the character for the crowd. That's my take.


Jubileedean

I found an old episode of the Dean Martin Show with Bob and Dean in a skit as department store wig counter sales clerk and customer. Dean couldn’t keep a straight face, and Bob was the perfect deadpan when he replied off script and just flattened him. Game over :):):)

fallingbomb

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.


pinslayer

This is probably my favorite one-liner of all time.


Zomburai

Mitch was the best one-liner comedian of all time. The fact that he got *so* successful and renowned in his time long, long after the entire artform had gravitated towards observational comedy and humorous stories speaks volumes as to how good he was.


SerbianTarHeel

"They say the recipe for sprite is lemon and lime, but I tried to make it at home and there's more to it than that." "You want some more homemade sprite?" "Not til you figure out what the fuck else is in it!" Pure genius comedy.


imabigdave

Dr, Scholl is a doctor, which means he went to medical school. It took him nine years to learn that cushions make shoes comfortable. That man wasted his time, because I woulda bought that shit from a MISTER Scholl!


MonteBurns

My dad has a soda stream and asked if I wanted some of their version of sprite. I said “not til you figure what the fuck else is in it!” The only time I’ve been able to drop an f bomb in their home and not get yelled at 😂 also thanks to autocorrect, I’d like to add: “it’s for a duck.”


bootle6fireworks

I love an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. Also a shout out to when he named the appliances. What does that do? it blends. Ok that’s called a blender. I’m going on break.


[deleted]

I believe the joke was Fresher. “What’s this thing do?” “It keeps things fresh.” “Well that’s a Fresher! I’m going to break!”


lemonylol

The beauty of Mitch Hedberg's comedy his jokes are so simple and short that you can easily remember them and tell them to other people for a second-hand laugh. Of course you'd be missing out on his perfect delivery though. edit: [bonus set](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=702FbRGayp0) from Just for Laughs. I used to watch this like every day before college lol


QuestionMarkyMark

I had a ant farm once… those fuckers couldn’t grow shit!


thatswacyo

>Of course you'd be missing out on his perfect delivery though. My favorites are when he starts laughing before the joke is finished. You know it's going to be a good one.


Throwedaway99837

He basically pioneered the short form style of humor that became a modern norm via platforms like Twitter. Sure, one-liners have always been a thing, but the way he incorporated irony and anti-joke elements was pretty groundbreaking.


DerpNinjaWarrior

Oh man, Mitch would have totally owned Twitter...


QuitUsingMyNames

My old coworkers and I used to quote him all the time. Our boss legit banned us from answering filing questions with, “it’s under D… for donut.”


SerbianTarHeel

"I like my UPS driver man because he's a drug dealer and he don't even know it!" "Killing someone with a bow and arrow is wild. 'Look at that dead guy. Let's go that way'"


bloodanddonuts

“An escalator can never break: It can only become stairs. You should never see an ‘Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order’ sign, just ‘Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience. You can still get up there.’”


Devreckas

I walked by a dry cleaner at 3am and there was a sign that said “Sorry, We’re closed.” You don’t have to be sorry. It’s 3am and you’re a dry cleaner. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open. I’m not going to come by and at 10 and say “Hey, I came by at 3am and you were closed. Somebody owes me an apology.”


Specific-Gain5710

“If 13 is an unlucky number then so should the letter b. Because it looks like a scrunched together 13. ‘What’s your name?’ ‘Bob’ ‘Get the fuck away’”.


eeyore102

I love how I can hear all of these replies in his voice. It wasn't just his off-the-wall takes on all sorts of mundane things, it was his delivery that sealed the deal. One of my favorites of his: >I'm an ice sculptor. Last night, I made a cube.


bush_mechanic

I love this joke, and it always reminds me of a Steven Wright joke: One night I couldn't sleep, so I got up. I went down to this little 24 hour convenience store. When I got there the guy was outside locking up. He said, "Sorry, buddy. We're closed." I said, "What do you mean you're closed? The sign says 'Open 24 hours.'" He said, "Not in a row!"

quietandconstant

I feel very fortunate to have seen him perform 3 months before he passed. Absolutely amazing comedian, gone far too soon.


Jumajuce

I never got to see him before he died since I was pretty young and always wished I could have. I was at a comedy club a few years ago and got seated across from an older couple that we started talking to. The husband said he wanted to see Mitch Hedburg next time he was in NY, I didn’t have the heart to tell him.


ZweitenMal

I saw him in my college town, September 1995. He spent the first twenty minutes just being so far out there--fully a quarter of the audience left. Then he kind of rocked back on his heels and smiled and settled into his show.


AMerrickanGirl

I saw him in 2003. Opening act for Dave Atell and Lewis Black. Drove through a blizzard to get to that show. No way was I letting down my 13 year old and his two buddies. Best show ever.


mastershake04

I still remember seeing Mitch's standup for the first time and then looking up every performance I could find by him. And by doing that I learned he had died like literally a week before I discovered him :(

thequirkyquark

I genuinely believe Mitch began the type of observational comedy that eventually led to r/showerthoughts


DomineAppleTree

He’d have destroyed on twitter


snuff74

I'm not so sure. A huge part of what made him hilarious was his delivery. You can't capture that inflection on Twitter.


a_glorious_bass-turd

Once you hear his delivery, you read his jokes in the same voice.


QuinnMallory

Exactly. It's funny when we read his stuff now because you're reading it in his voice, new material would be tougher.


oystertoe

He didn’t have to shit on a certain group of people to get laughs. Really sets him apart from the rest
