Best not to post any pictures of anything Arabic. They get a tad sensitive about tho
Can't disagree more about hating Norm. He's a fucking genius. Seinfeld, although I like his outlook on life and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is brilliant, is too milk toast. Too mainstream and unfunny like that hack Carson. Larry David made Jerry's career. Steven Wright is a gimmick comic who relies on his boring delivery. After 5 minutes that wears off.
You're absolutely right though in mentioning Ricky Gervais, IMHO. I love "Out of England". Have it in my car on a flash drive and listen to it quite often. Never gets old. Burr and Izzard are very funny but not amongst of the best. Mitch Hedberg was gifted but (very unfortunately) wasn't around long enough to be considered one of the best. Robin Williams was a force but could tire you out trying to keep up with his manic energy. (BTW maybe a good Top 10 List: Top 10 Robin Williams Movies or Top 10 Christopher Nolan Films....I was just watching Insomnia in which Robin was amazing)
I'm ashamed though that I left Sarah Silverman off my list. She's amazing. Fast forward to the 58:00 mark on the link below if you want to piss your pants laughing.
I also now remember how funny Fred Willard was watching that video but he wasn't a stand up really, so that doesn't count.
Not trying to be combative. Just my feedback
