cross, cook or hedberg?

just curious...

personally, id rather listen to 10 minutes of cook, 20 minutes of hedberg and one hour of cross.

tough question.

theres only so much hedberg material (for obvious reasons) to listen to. david cross is fucking funny, and dane cook is as well, but he gets old fast. if it was a choice of seeing them *cough* live, id go with Mitch. all the way.

why would you want to see them cough live?

And I'd personally go with Hedberg.

Cook.

On account of he's kind of a dreamboat.

Hedberg, on the account that even dead he is funnier than dane "i smell like old cheetos in a dead man's armpit" cook. I may or may not be exaggerating that las t bit.

Cross. But Hedberg is brilliant.

I call BULLSHIT!!

David Cross is the dreamiest looking but Mitch is a total STUD!! He's even got a permanant hard-on!! (RIP MITCH)

to hear the differences in tone, duh

he kinda has that gay/not gay thing going on. especially after someone told him to fix his hair and clothes.

Hedberg

I have absolutely no idea why Dane Cook is popular, his jokes seem childish and sophomoric to me.

Hedberg is the best of the three.

Dane Cook could keep me laughing (and drooling) for just about ever.

well, if were going to get really particular about or comedy here, id rather see lenny bruce than just about anyone

Mitch.

Hedberg. I'm gonna miss him.

I have to go with David Cross, because of the variety of his material. I mean, his CD's aren't maybe as good as Mitch Hedburg's or Dane Cook's, but I can laugh straight through Run Ronnie Run (even though the studio fucked with it so much). That, and he's motherfucking Tobias on Arrested Development. RIP.

What about BILL HICKS?

Without whom none of these guys would have a career.

Personally, I think Cross is the closet to carrying the torch.

Hedberg was lost too soon.

Cook is funny, but he uses physical slapstick as a crutch too often. He also seems to care too much about being liked by his audience.

I think dane cook is popular because of some wierd impression that he's indie rock or something. At least that's what I've picked up from his fans. I agree with acetracer, he is childish.
I prefer cross.

cause everyone would just say hicks and it would be a less interesting thread.

That's a pretty blanket statement that doesn't make much sense.

Without Bill Hicks Dennis Leary wouldn't have a career, but I hardly think any of the people mentioned in this thread are that similar to Hicks.

live: cook - i'd be imagining licking the sweat off his body and fucking him on the stage during the entire show.

quick laugh: hedburg

content: cross

if i had to choose just one, cook. laughing and being horny is the way to go.

Well played sir.

At least now the kids can google the man and re-evaluate their vote Perhaps making a more interesting thread?

erhem.

Carlin. I can listen to hours of him and never become bored with repetition and mediocrity.

anyone see pre-professional stylist cook? he was all long-islandy and not as faggy/funny.

It seems he's just one of these people that is suddenly "hip" to like. He uses pop culture references, he's on MySpace, he identifies with the young indie emo geek is chic crowd.

But as a comedian, he's no funnier than that random guy at college parties screaming out an endless run of one liners.
