There are a number of stand ups that dominated in popularity. Going by pure revenue, guys like Larry the Cable Guy, Gabriel Iglesias, and freaking Jeff Dunham hold records. Dane Cook was a powerhouse for about a 3-5 year period, and there's still people that think Bert Kreisher is funny.
You're right, it's all about taste. That said, a Mount Rushmore should start with Carlin and Pryor.

This is definitely part of it. Chappelle got offended one time because of something a group of trans people might have said. And now he jut can't let it go, as it interferes with his ego too much. I don't even think he really cares about the politics. He was just personally offended, and, in his mind, no one should get away with doing that to him.
