I can't seem to find any decent clips on youtube worth sharing, but I listen to a lot of standup comedy and am currently recommending these comedians to everyone I know:
Zach Galifianakis
Mike Birbiglia
Patton Oswalt
Maria Bamford
Greg Giraldo
Mitch Fatel
Jen Kirkman
Doug Stanhope
Zach Galifianakis is probably right up there for my favorite standup performer of all-time, but his routines really lend themselves to live performances rather than simply the audio stuff, and he throws out tons of one-liners, so youtube clips don't do him justice. His DVD "Live At The Purple Onion" is awesome, and I read another forum that he is planning a CDN tour soon. Go see him if you hear he's coming to a city near you.
Edit- Found a good Birbiglia clip:
And some Zach G. The first joke is one I drop into awkward conversations to lighten the mood:
I guess I should add this one to explain my sig. Just imagine it as a non-sequitur joke in the middle of his routine:
