The best comedians are the ones who (a)tell the truth and (b)go after EVERYONE.
Funniest comedian I've ever seen live is hands-down Gilbert Gottfried.
NEVER broke character. Went after EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. he was viscious and brutal and had the entire place gasping for air laughing including me.
Chris Rock "back in the day" was freaking awesome. Dave Chappelle has never stopped being hilariously brutal. We need MORE comedians like these guys. Seriously. Make America Laugh Again!
But Norm MacDonald was the GOAT. I miss that guy so much.
His voice was difficult for me to get past, but I do kind of miss him. He did a roast of George Takei, hilarious, that’s probably still on YouTube, it’s not for the faint of heart though...
