I don't mind profane but I know some people do. That's why I mentioned Bill Cosby - Himself....that is funny as hell but the only curse word in it is maybe a damn or hell.

I dont Mind it either . But he did a special in the early 90s , Funny as hell with No profane at all .
as a matter of fact he dedicated the show to Funny versus Profane to get laughs

my parents had those Cosby records, they were hilarious.

but, you have to go with the Steve Martin records of those mid-70's.

Steve Martin - Lets Get Small, or Comedy is not Pretty

either one - they're both great

Eddie Murphy, Delirious.

David Cross - Shut Up You F*cking Baby, funniest album in years.

Dave Attell - Skanks For The Memories, great one-liners

Mitch Hedberg - Mitch All Together, RIP my man

Neil Hamburger - That's Not Gold, That's Dung! Not for all, but I howled.

Nerd Rage: Brian Posehn

Daniel Tosh: True Stories I Made Up
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000BKDNVW.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg

It's like we're the same person lol. I would add Demetri Martin- These Are Jokes (saw him in person at UCO in January...best $5 I will ever spend) and David Cross- It's Not Funny.

If you liked his first CD Feelin' Kinda Patton, you should get 222. It's the full, uncut show they took that album from, and he is drunk as hell during it.

Ding! This is the classic of all mentioned. It is a friggin gold standard by which comedy should be measured.

Carlin's Class Clown was pretty good

Steve Martin - Let's Get Small, Wild and Crazy Guy and Comedy Is Not Pretty are really good.

I saw Steve at LNC on the Wild and Crazy Guy Tour- awesome

Jim Jeffries was on a radio show I listen to today and he was very funny. I've never seen his act, though.

Frozen Sooner

11/14/2007, 11:13 PM

Steve Hofstetter-"Cure for the Cable Guy" is pretty good.

Daniel Tosh-"True Stories I Made Up" is gold. GOLD JERRY!

You know how to make your life better? Lie. About everything.

"Hey, man, can you pick me up from the airport?

Sure

"Dude, where were you? I waited for three hours!"

Then you're a fool. I would have gotten a cab after 15 minutes. That's what grownups do.

Richard Pryor- Super N word

sooneron

11/14/2007, 11:35 PM

I'm curious if most of the new stuff that is being quoted is from video performance or from an album like the thread stated.

I have trouble picturing many people these days popping in a cd and listening to a good stand up routine. There really used to be something special about it. I remember my folks having parties back in the 70's and putting the Steve Martin LP on and everyone would gather around and listen an laugh their asses off. Real old school sounding.

I also forgot The Smothers Brothers.

OUAndy1807

11/14/2007, 11:37 PM

I load up the ipod when I know I'm going to be driving a lot and I hardly ever watch video clips or dvd's, but that's just me. I think you're probably correct overall.

Frozen Sooner

11/14/2007, 11:38 PM

Well, I've never seen either Daniel Tosh or Steve Hofstetter on TV, so I'm going to go with both of mine being from albums.

And yeah, I listen to those guys on my iPod pretty regularly. I don't have parties around it, though.

Am I the only person to have never really laughed at Dane C.?

AllAboutThe'O'

11/15/2007, 12:19 AM

Jerry Clower - "A Coon Huntin' Story" (seriously)

Other comedy albums I grew up listening to:
Bill Cosby - "Revenge"

George Carlin - "A Place For My Stuff"

I also listened to a Flip Wilson album (can't think of the title) but it was fairly explicit and had a disclaimer on it "for adults only." That meant hovering over the record player in case my mom walked into my room.

Frozen Sooner

11/15/2007, 12:24 AM

Revenge-that was the one with the Frankenstein monster wax statue, right?

soonerscuba

11/15/2007, 12:25 AM

Am I the only person to have never really laughed at Dane C.?
No. I think that he is not as terrible as the real haters say, but nothing special and how he does double sell outs at Madison Square Garden is beyond me. He is a really good interview though. Anybody who says Larry the Cable Guy needs to be slapped in the mouth.

If you have the stomach, Jim Norton - Monster Rain is a good new one.

David Cross - It's Not Funny might be the funniest album in decades.

Frozen Sooner

11/15/2007, 12:27 AM

I love David Cross as a writer. His delivery is awful, though.

11/15/2007, 12:40 AM

Demetri Martin - These are Jokes

Yeah. Also, after listening to that album, it inspired me to round up a few kids in my neighborhood for a game of "Buck, Buck."

And I didn't even know they still made comedy "albums." I thought that went out when Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy started to suck.

This is a repeat:
Comedians who rely on shock and profanity are like 4-year-olds who discover they can make the grown-ups laugh by saying "poo-poo" and "pee-pee".
