At the present time, Louis CK is the best out there imo.

If you haven't seen his HBO special 'Shameless', do yourself a favor.

Some will find his humor offensive, but his humor is offensive in an intelligent way, not in a 'I'm just trying to shock you for cheap laughs' kind of way.

I feel bad because Louis CK seems to be in a bad place right now, but it's made his comedy better. He's extremely bitter right now, and it's hilarious.

I'm surprised only DFF has mentioned Tosh and Louis CK in the same post. To me, if you like one, you'll like the other. Very similar in their sharp sarcasm.

Completely the opposite for Louis CK. Marc Maron had him on 2, hour long podcasts about a month ago. WTF with Marc Maron in the iTunes.

Your post doesn't make sense to me. What's completely opposite?

Several of my favourites have been mentioned already (mainly David Cross), but I'll throw out a name that hasn't been mentioned yet; Dylan Moran.

I thought this exact same thing last year when I saw him live. But when I watched Hilarious a couple weeks ago I think he's gotten better. Still bitter (he gets more bitter as he gets older, can't wait to see what he's like in his 70's if he's still doing the odd show), but he also seems more relaxed, I think he's liking the bachelor life more. I just noticed in hilarious he was doing so many funny sounds and physical humour, which I've never really seen before out of him. He seems more carefree.

Brian Regan is one of the more underrated comedians

I not some pansy but I find comedians who keep it clean and stay hilarious impressive.

Denis Leary is a smarter version of Dane Cook. He stole his routine from Bill Hicks, just took the edges off. No respect for him whatsoever.

you know I thought that exact same thing. He even imitates the weird sounds Bill Hicks would make, which I found real annoying
