3. Richard Pryor

4. Redd Foxx

5. Chris Rock

6. Andrew "Dice" Clay

7. Jim Norton

8. Eddie Murphy

That's the best I can come up with. I'm disgusted with the lack of Redd Foxx votes, he's a fucking legend.

Also shocked at the lack of Andrew "Dice" Clay, but that I understand. His stand up hasn't aged all that great, and he had trouble evolving his routine beyond the dirty nursery rhymes, though he did have some funny bits. Still, it shows how much people care about him if he's completely forgotten in a bunch of these lists.

2. Eddie Izzard

3. Frankie Boyle

4. Steve Coogan

5. Mighty Boosh (Noel Fielding/Julian Barratt and all the entourage...Rich Fulcher, what a legend)

6. Billy Connolly

7. Dave Gorman

8. Dara O'Briain

9. Al Murray

10. Ricky Gervais

Bill Bailey would have been on there. He'd probably have been quite high too. But Saturday. Christ. He just sucked. So he's gone.

5. Lee Evans

6. Mark Watson

7. Tim Vine

8. Russell Brand

9. Jack Dee

10. Dylan Moran

YI - When he was in Newcastle, Bailey was very good. Must have been an off night.

[Lowerdeck]

And can we negate any votes for Carlos Mencia just like we negated votes for Alter Bridge in the music list?

Am I the only one here who doesn't hate Mencia? Granted, I don't think he's great, but I don't think he's awful either.

1. George Carlin

2. Dave Chappelle

3. Chris Rock

4. Christopher Titus

5. Lewis Black

That's about all I can think of. I haven't heard enough of Lisa Lampinelli and Robin Williams to make a call on them. If you want to give those two a point for 10th place from me, feel free.

Ugh, sometimes I feel like the only person in the world that can't stand dane cook...also, I'm not sure if the number of daniel tosh votes makes me happy, or the lack of point values for tosh on the lists makes me sad. Tosh, imo, is the best there is right now.
