Ali-G's name is Sacha Baron Cohen, and he is freakin hilarious. I remember watching his stuff a few years ago in Germany.hansQ45 wrote:D' Ali G Show (from HBO) I don't know the guys name?
I also thought his Live on Broadway was funny.C33LaurelRacer wrote:Let's not forget Robin Williams. Two live videos to look for are "An Evening with Robin Williams" and "Robin Williams, Live at the Met". Two of the funniest stand up acts I have ever seen.
Have you seen a movie called Harlem Nights that was funny with Red Foxx, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy?AZhitman wrote:You guys need to watch some old-school Redd Foxx...
I also like old-school routines from Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Gallagher....
Ron White and Larry TCB are hilarious.
I don't find Will Farrell to be at all humorous. He makes me want to hit him.
On a side note: You guys ever watch "Whose Line Is It Anyway"? THAT is a collection of comic geniuses. Great show, and all improvised. Drew Carey is the least talented of the bunch!
I agree, that show is great. Drew Cary is a crappy host though (and actor, IMO). The host from the old version (filmed in England, I believe) was much better. You used to be able to see reruns of that version all of the time on Comedy Central, don't know if they do it anymore cause I hardly ever have time to watch tv.AZhitman wrote:On a side note: You guys ever watch "Whose Line Is It Anyway"?

He really is, his lyrics to songs almost seem too good to be improv.AZhitman wrote:Wayne Brady is an improv genius.
They do a skit called "song styles" where he's given a topic and a style, and he has to improv a song on the spot - he did one in the style of Eminem one night that was So damn funny.
Indeed.. And overall Whos line is family friendly.. Unlike most of hte stuff you see on comedy central... Good clean humor is pretty rare today.....AZhitman wrote:Wayne Brady is an improv genius.

Colin and Ryan are epic when they do "scenes from a hat".
It's still on Comedy Central in reruns.
Ever see the one where he and the other guy (not sure of his name, he's not a permanent fixture) do the RUN-DMC song style? Riotous.tractorcrusher wrote:

Oh yeah, that man can flow. He usually has the dance down too.AZhitman wrote:Ever see the one where he and the other guy (not sure of his name, he's not a permanent fixture) do the RUN-DMC song style? Riotous.
