Hmm… I used to write this crazy chick a long while ago, and her comedy was influenced from Will Ferrel, Mike Myers, Jim Carry, and the usual cartoons.

George Carlin … rip.
Jeff Dunham… starting to get a little old

That’s all.

I’ve never been into stand up comedians, just ones in music and film.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Matt Groening, Weird Al are the ones I can name off the top of my head.

George Carlin, Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Patrice O’Neil, Sam Kinison, Ralphie May…but nothing, and I mean nothing has touched the level of just 2 comedy skits by Abbott and Costello…Who’s on First and 7 times 13 is 28.

Both hold up to this day even though they were made 40 years before I was even born.
