"Clean" Comedians

[KingsGene]

Is there such a thing anymore? I enjoy a decent foul-mouthed hack just as much as the next college frat boy, but is there anybody out there you could go see with your mother or conservative significant other without feeling ... embarrassed? It seems to me that it is much more difficult to produce decent stand-up comedy without dropping f-bombs every other word. Thoughts?

Dennis Miller maybe. I like him anyway.

Yes there are. There are other Bill Cosby and Robin Williams like comedians out there.

Jim Gaffigan is one of the best. And I have never heard him utter a swear word .

 

[General Zod]

Gaffigan is great.

Miller drops the f-bomb on the regular basis.

Seinfeld would be the obvious answer. Beyond the obvious, I couldn't say.

MALL COP lol Kevin James is brilliant at clean comedy, while this show is VERY clean, it's still funny as is his TV sit com.

I wasn't aware of that. I've never seen any of his standup stuff.

I love Kevin James! He was great in Hitch as well.

Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall utter the occasional swear word, but are otherwise pretty clean comics. Engvall is much funnier than Foxworthy.

Robim Williams certainly doesn't qualify as a "clean" comic.

 

[Cheiron]

Robin Williams certainly doesn't qualify as a "clean" comic.

Okay. I've never noticed him as being 'not clean.' Certain comics I notice how dirty/vulgar they are, but not really with Robin. I'll admit that I'm probably wrong

The only "clean" comedian I've ever liked was Brian Regan, and he's one of my favorites.

Yeah, Robin Williams is quite vulgar.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Yeah, Robin Williams is quite vulgar.

...and I like him for that!
My mom (RIP) used to love George Carlin, Buddy Hackett, and Don Rickles.

Edit: ALso a HUGE Dennis Miller fan here

 

[Savage Pumpkin]

Regan can be really good at times.



He does sometimes.

Well I've seen him live 6 times and own all his Cd's and he hasn't. Unless it was early in his career. He doesn't anymore.

Gaffigan swears, but it's rarely. And the same goes for Seinfeld and Regan. But it's no more that "What the hell is this all about" or something like that. "Clean" to me doesn't mean NO swearing, it's about joke premises. And Gaffigan, Regan, and Seinfeld keep their joke premises pretty darn clean. I love them all, too.

 

[Pellaz]

I'm a big fan of Pablo Francisco. While he does swear at times during his shows, his routine doesn't depend on it. He does seem to have a great native talent for voices, sound effects and impersonations, especially his famous "movie preview guy" voice.

 

[Dominick_7]

Brian Regan is arguably like the best comedian out I think, a sentiment which is also agreed upon by many other comedians, Dennis Miller included. I like Miller, Gaffigan and Seinfeld as well.

 

[JenniferLynn]

Pablo is great!!! And I like Gabriel Iglesias too - he's not fat, he's fluffy

I got to see Jeff Dunham - Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Walter, Peanut n' more!! - live in January and he was freakin' awesome...

I didn't think I'd like Brian Regan when I saw some of his standups advertised on Comedy Central. He seemed kinda meat-headed. But I was well rewarded when I listened to some clips on YouTube. Now I love him and have heard just about everything he's done. I would like to see him live, but comedy shows are relatively expensive. (when I'm used to spending only about 10-15 on a metal show, spending 40-50 on a much shorter comedy show seems like a real investment!)
