Nice work, Hedberg was outstanding. Zach Galifinakis (spelling??) is really funny too. You can't go wrong with a little Dave Chappelle either.

And John Pinette always is hilarious...I recommend YouTubing some of his other stuff...

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:

Too funny Ro! I posted that Birbiglia clip in the racism thread yesterday at an appropriate moment.

Oops! Missed that. Yeah, he's definitely an up and comer for sure. He was a big highlight at Bonnaroo this year, in addition to Zach. His CD "My Secret Public Journal- Live" is awesome if you're into "funny story" standup, a la Bill Cosby.

OK, the youtube digging has begun.

A funny Bamford clip:



The only decent Giraldo clip I could find on YT:



Morgan Murphy! Forgot about her. Not really safe for work, but safe for Jimmy Kimmel?:



No love for Louis Ck yet either. Very funny guy. Language warning!:

Thanks to whomever posted Dylan Moran. I watched about two hours of his stuff last night and stayed up much too late.

I love UK comedy. Blunt, vulgar American style stuff doesn't do much for me. And I realize those are gross generalizations.

Actually, not 'nuff said since the aim of the thread is to share stand up clips that you love. We all know who David Cross is. We all know he is funny.

Yay, that was me.

Also, I can't believe I didn't post and David Cross (see avatar), Patton Oswalt or Zach Galifianakis initially.

Here's some David Cross material on religion:


Likely offensive to those who are religious.

You never know, they seem to pop up all over the place to defend something that gets mentioned.

I think Craig Christ probably started things off on the wrong foot for those of faith with no sense of humor.

I was wondering if/when you were gonna put up some David Cross AC. Another one of my all-time favorites. Excited for his new HBO project with Bob Odenkirk, and hoping for a new standup album soon- I've heard a couple pieces of new material from him and they are great as usual.

I actually really like Robert Schimmel, but I don't think there are too many bits that could be posted on here as he is filthy. In my opinion, he is the best.

I also like David cross. I can't find it on Youtube, but he does this one bit where he talks about his friends having kids and how parents are always talking about their kids...

Paraphrasing:

"Your kids are boring! Having kids isn't hard, you want to know what's hard? Try convincing your girlfriend to have her 3rd consecutive abortion! Now that takes finess!"

Yeah, I really hope their new show is even half as good as Mr. Show was.
