Who is Lewis Black? Am I going to get stoned for not knowing?

Oh and I was hoping this to be a list of Richard Pryor, Mel Brooks, et. al. because that would've been way difficult. :tickled:

he killed in that one ... watched it a few times (unlike my music listening habits) to fully appreciate him, but he just fucking walks all over everyone.
 
I know there are others: Seinfeld, Leary etc but I wanted to keep the list managable.

Hey lurch -- you think pretty highly of the Dice Man then, eh?

well, you said to think of their peak ... and when he came out, he was huuuge. And I was on a Kinisoin kick at the time.
Vulgarity was big back then, late 80's/early 90's ... Kinison, Dice, Leary, Bill Hicks :kickass:

I think Dice was the only comedian ever to sell out the Garden ... that's fucking huge
 
Hey lurch did you ever see the Andrea Dice Clay skit on In Living ColoUr? Oh man that shit was funnier than the Diceman himself. I always forget that bint's name, the only white chick on the show for the first few seasons.

I swear, one of the greatest commedianes ever.

@nad ... maybe, faintly remember something. She was doing his whole smoking schtick and all no?

Psh, Dennis Leary is just a wannabe Bill Hicks. Now, don't get me wrong, he's a pretty funny guy. But nobody can come close to Hicks. The man was a fucking prophet.
Well, I prefer Leary but I also heard Leary first and grew up on the dude. The influence is undeniable though, and I know it's only a matter of time before I become a total Hicks worshipper (I do love what I've heard though).

It's like Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. Student would simply not exist without teacher, but at the same time, student is just as amazing in his own right.

Yeah, fair enough. Though, I have to share this Hicks quote cause I love it. When asked about Dennis Leary supposedly stealing his act:

"Actually, I stole his act. I just camoflagued it with punchlines. And then, to REALLY throw people off, I did it first."
