Alright, I understand that you can name good comedians in the correct order.
 
1. Kyle Cease
2. Demetri Martin
3. Nick Swardson
4. Jim Gaffigan
5. Steve Byrne

Why do people like Lewis Black? All he does is yell about how stupid people are and how bad America's government is. All his "jokes" are just sarcastic remarks. I like a little creativity and imagination in jokes, not just "BUSH IS SO STUPID BLAH BLAH". But whatever, we all have our own tastes, just as long as someone doesn't put all the blue collar comedians as their top five. /facepalm

yeah like do you mean current comedians or like of all time?

carlin is definitely in there and in no particular order.....

john belushi, eddie murphy, bill cosby , richard pryor

a few others, but those come to mind when it comes to the greats

they defined stand up and paved the way for others

Black is kind of a cross between a low rent George Carlin and a Howard Beale type character. Except he is not as funny as Carlin nor as brilliantly mad as Beale. Though from time to time he manages to pull off the two perfectly and creates comedy gold.
 
Dane Cook would be my #1, on a list of the top 5 worst comedians.

My top 5:

1) Jerry Seinfeld
2) Eddie Izzard
3) Jim Gaffigan
4) Gabriel Iglesias
5) Robin Williams

Runners up for me include Dave Chappel, Adam Ferrera and Pablo Francisco.
 
1. although he isn't technically a comedian, he makes me laugh more than one, Dave Barry (humor columnist is close enough)
2. Bill Cosby
3. Steven Wright
4. Jerry Seinfeld (earlier times)
5. Steve Martin
 
1. Mitch Fatel
2. Mitch Fatel
3. Gabriel Isglasisisesis (dont know how to spell his name)
4. Jeff Dunham
5. Undecided
 
1. Dave chappele (by far the best)
2. Mitch headberg (didnt see him anywhere else, thats a shame.)
3. Luis black (seen him live, it was awesome)
4. Jim gaffigan
5. Chris Rock
