Your favorite comedians

Billy Connolly, Bill Hicks and Bill Bailey. There are others, such as the late, great Pryor, and the more recent Frankie Boyle.

Edit: I'm a pretty big Wright fan, too. Possibly the King of deadpan stand-up.
 
I like jim carey, mostly because of ace ventura. The fact that he's a hardcore death metal fan helps too.
 
Everyone seems to be forgetting Lenny Bruce. :/

Aside from Bruce: Lewis Black, George Carlin, Steven Colbert, Al Franken, Bill Hicks, Louis CK, Mitch Hedburg, Steven Wright (I should switch the order of those last 2 comedians around, Hedburg was just a Wright disciple, heh), and Sam Kinison.
 
It was always going to be Billy. Not only could he have you falling over with laughter, his ultimate fucking faith in humanity - despite its numerous failings - is something I've spent my entire life identifying with.

Bailey gets a vote too, especially for the Axis of Evil thing on Part Troll, nevermind the Portishead and Kraftwerk parodies! :)
