My_Shrimp_Cot Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 This thread is to celebrate comedians who have passed on. I'd like to start with Dave Allen. A favorite of mine when I was a kid-teen watching on public TV. We can't get his DVD in the states but luckily youtube has some gems as usual. this is a classic: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4kLTbvjqF6Y RIP Dave! Anyway, who was your favorite/s?

lerxt1990 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'd have to add the following folks: Richard Pryor - practically the father of modern comedy, folks often forget how good he was and how different he was in his time - very very funny Sam Kinnison - yes, foul, and he had that LOUD schtick, but he was also hysterical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Aubrey Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Buddy Hackett! If you saw his HBO special back in 1983, then you know what I'm talking about. It's on Youtube, broken up into 4 parts. Here are the links: Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4. Adult language warning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That special is the greatest, I dont need to watch cause Ive committed it to memory. I still tell jokes form that special today, the snow geese gag, the dentist joke, and some others (why gun is a worse word than a-s..) I LOVED Buddy....

It's on Youtube, broken up into 4 parts. Here are the links: Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4. Adult language warning! This is probably the funniest stand up routine in history, IMO.. I used to have it on VHS years ago, but it disappeared.. I hope it gets resurrected on DVD some day.. Dentist: That tooth has to come out. Lady: I think I'd rather have a baby. Dentist: Make up your mind, I have to adjust the chair. "You F*** like a Jap" OMG, they are endless..... Most recently, one of my favorite comedians off'd himself a few months back: Rickard Jeni. I saw him live less than a year ago. Always like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
