Best active comedians

Tig Notaro

Maria Bamford

Amy Schumer

Burress is more like a confident Mitch Hedberg. His shit is brilliant.

Louis CK is not great. He is ok but why people think he's the best is beyond me. Burress is way better.

There's probably better than Burress but I haven't seen them because youtube algorithms won't bring them up. I will check those other ones except Katt Williams.

I'd add Bill Burr into consideration.

Katt Williams is not active as a comedian.

have to go with:

Kathy Griffin

Dane Cook

The chink lady

Bill Cosby

Good catch on Katt - missed that he was arrested again.

How about Jim Gaffigan as a runner up?

Also, good job on the Amy Schuemer tip. I'd heard one or two of her bits, but did some YouTube research and she's really funny.

I think that ck sucks and I cannot understand why he is held in such reverence.

Louis CK, Dave Attell, Jay Oakerson, Chris Rock, Dmitri Martin, Andrew Schulz (up and coming).

I think an above average level of intelligence is required to appreciate him.

Sean Hannity...homie has me rollin on the floor every time he opens his mouth. The Fox & Friends weekday morning crew is a close second. The brown haired guy that's not Steve Doocy is pure comic genius. I mean these people can say the most ridiculous stuff with a totally straight face, amazing comedic talents the whole lot!

Sean Hannity is one the best straight-face comics of all-time: the best every, really.

Who?

Who? You don't know? LOL: http://comicwho.com/

I have found this to be true. I showed him to some of my intelligent friends and they were all dying. Like literally on the ground cracking up. When I showed him to a few friends who I know aren't that intelligent they didn't laugh once.

So, basically, Louis CK is really only meant for people who are fairly intelligent.

Adam Devine is amazing.

Didn't know about this guy. Seems pretty solid, but his persona is a little too frat-guy for my taste.

How do you know that he's misusing 'literally'?

I did use the word 'literary' right because they were actually on the ground laughing. Also, I wasn't judging other people's intelligence. I was simply stating an observation.
