Anyway...
So im curious what is some of the giantbombers fav stand up?
Mine has to be Eddie Murphy delirious ( its really old like late 1980's but classic nonetheless, must much!)

Gilbert Gottfried's Dirty Jokes....I've never cried so much
 
 

  
Brian Regan's acts are also gut-busting.

I love Jerry. I think this is one of his best. I don't know why I like it exactly -- it has a certain innocent charm, I think.

Louis C.K. is my current favorite. He has a show on FX right now called "Louie" that has bits of his stand-up interspersed, and it's hilarious.

  George Carlin was the greatest and is still unbeatable.
 

   

Bill Hick was also one of my favorites.

Richard Pryor was funny. 
Eddie Murphy can be hilarous. Some of his sketches are not child friendly, which I found after listening to one on Last.FM with my younger cousin :/ Made it funnier.

@MythDarK: Bill Hicks is king. Most of the stand-up I listen to now (David Cross, Louis C.K., Patton Oswalt, ect...) all feel heavily influenced by him. Some of the best stand-up ever!

Pryor and Carlin(my favorite) are untouchable, but i thought i would add a somewhat unknown who died of cancer at the height of his popularity.

1. Zach Galifinakis
He doesn't really tell jokes, he is more of a guy who acts funny. His mannerisms and delivery are what sets him above the rest. I love how he can be a dick to people and make it pure gold. For an example of this see his web show thingy Between Two Ferns on Funny Or Die. The last one he did with Ben Stiller was great. To see him act weird watch The Hangover or him on Tim & Eric. Actually here are some links.

http://www.funnyordie.com/

2. Demetri Martin.....Ladies
He has some similarities in the ways I find Zach funny. Not that he is the same, just my sense of humor lends me towards his stuff. Like it's a lot of the way he acts when he tells his jokes. Also I guess he is a prop comic when I think about it, but way better than Carrot Top. I guess I like my comedians like i like my music, "Alternative".

3. Patton Oswald
His stories he tells in his stuff are great. Do you know why he quit LSD? So the 1st memory his daughter has of him won't be him high telling her the truth behind Lucky Charms. He is also a geek and likes the same junk I do. He was pretty good in Ratatouille too. You know what, I REALLY wish The Comedians of Comedy was still on CC, that show was really good and had both him and Zach G on it.

Yeah, I totally agree. Bill Hicks feels like a student of Dr Carlins though :)

George Carlin's "Back in Town" from 1996 is stand-up comedy perfection.

Louis CK - saw him on tour last year when he was testing out the material for his latest standup 'Hilarious', looking forward to seeing the final results.
Patton Oswalt - any of his albums, but 'werewolves and lollipops' is still my favorite.
Mitch Hedberg - RIP
Michael Ian Black - his album 'I am a Wonderful Man' is probably one of the most quoted between friends and I.  He was also in Stella and Wet Hot American Summer.  His book 'My Custom Van' is amazing.

This is one of my favorite little bits. 
 

 
Mitch Hedberg is also one of my favorite comics. Too bad he died. Don't do drugs kids. He had such a strange delivery to his jokes, very unique.

I still love Louis CK, even if he's dug a little too far into the "I'm a manic depressive" reserves.

Who gives him a bad rap? Anybody that gives him a bad rap just doesn't appreciate comedy. He's definitely one of my favorite comedians too. :)

Bill Hicks
Daniel Tosh
Carlin
 
My favorite comedian at the moment though has to be Brian Posehn. Fart and Weiner Jokes isn't his best, but I still think it's funny as hell.

I'm not much for keeping track of routines, but I'm a fan of: Eddie Izzard, George Carlin, Jim Gaffigan (diarrhea pocket...) and Louie C.K.
 
edit: Oh, just remembered a routine that's not by anyone listed above.

Not a fan of repeating routines, but I do love this one by Marcus Brigstocke about his neighbour who reads the Daily Mail and is a prick.
