Louis C.K.

Louis C.K.'s new special is on and its hilarious. 
 
Who are Giantbomb's favorite stand-up comdeians? 
 
Daniel Tosh 
Louis C.K 
Patton Oswalt 
The Sklarbros

Louis CK is a definite favourite of mine. Apart from that I like...
 
Daniel Kitson
Eddie Izzard
Ross Noble

Second Louis C.K.
I also love Bo Burnham, Mitch Hedberg, and Dave Chapelle.

I don't like stand-up comedy because it feels too forced (probably because it is forced). I haven't watched a stand-up comedian in years.  

Brian Regan and Jimmy Pardo are the funniest. Tig Notaro is the one funny woman comedian. Everyone else is cute so you laugh, Tig is actually funny.

Anthony Jezelnik
George Carlin 
Jerry Seinfeld
Patton Oswalt
Steven Wright
 
I loved the hell out of the show Louie and the stand up bits he had in it, but I haven't heard enough of his stuff to consider him a "favorite."

Eddie Murphy is my favorite. I have been getting into Louie C.K. though, ever since I watched Louie which was great. 

Dave Chappelle is my favorite, too bad he had a meltdown.

Don't really have a favorite, but the ones I enjoy most would have to be:  

Brian Regan 
Jeff Dunham 
Robin Williams 
Russell Peters 
Ron White 
Jim Gaffigan 
And good ol' Bill Cosby.

I like Steven Wright, Carlin (duh, what could of hipster would I be if I didn't?), Hedberg, and a bunch of other obscure guys from the 80s. I used to be obsessed with stand up.

Louis C.K.
Patton Oswalt
Paul F. Tompkins
Aziz Ansari (though that album wears thin after awhile, energetic guy though, and Parks and Rec is great)

Patton Oswalt 
Louis  CK 
Mike Birbiglia 
Brian Posehn

Too many to count. I love Stand up. I can't wait to see this.

Anyone like Bill Burr? I wouldn't directly compare him to Louie C.K. but he's pretty funny and at least as ballsy as C.K. is. 

CARL BARON

I'm too lazy to check if my picks are already on here (probably are lol)  
 
In no real order just as I remember them ( also I'm bad at lists >.>;;;)  
 
Louis C.K.  
Lewis Black 
Dennis Leary 
Eddie Izzard 
George Carlin 
Dave Attell 
Patton Oswald 
Gabriel  Iglesias  
Jim Gaffigan 
Sam Kinison 
 Brian Regan 

Probably a bunch more. There are also plenty of people I've seen on comedy central over the years that I wouldn't necessarily are my favorites but that I've certainly enjoyed.  

Doug Stanhope

I love me some Louis C.K.  That  FX show is freaking awesome.
I use to love Dennis Leary until I discovered Bill Hicks.  Now I can't even look at Dennis Leary without disgust.
Favorite dead comedians - George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Mitch Hedberg, and of course Bill Hicks
 
As for living comedians I like that haven't shown up on anyone's list - Hannibal Buress, Kyle Kinane, Greg Fitzsimmons, David Cross, Doug Stanhope, Bill Burr, James Fritz, Mike Birbiglia, Sarah Silverman, Maria Bamford, Brian Posehn, Jim Jeffries,  Patrick Melton, T.J. Miller, and Junior Stopka to name a few.
 
Comedians I can't stand - Dane Cook, Dimitri Martin, Charlie Murphy, Joe Rogan, Iliza Schlesinger, George Lopez, Jay Mohr, Jim Bruer, Jeff Dunham, Ellen Degeneres, every one ever associated with the Blue Collar Comedian Tour thingie, Robin WIlliams (great dramatic actor though)  and Carlos Mencia.
Forgot Russell Brand that has to be one of the worst stand-up specials ever made.

Louis C.K. is a funny bastard...I don't really like stand up that much, but he amused me

I actually think Russel Brand's stand up is surprisingly good.   

Louis C.K. is easily my favorite stand-up comedian. Pretty sure everyone has mentioned my other favorites but here they are anyway: 
Brian Regan
Dave Chapelle
Mitch Hedberg
George Carlin
Zach Galifianakis  

I used to really like Jim Gaffigan but he does that high pitched whispering stuff way too often now.

Stewart Lee!

George Carlin, Daniel Tosh...thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

Louis CK 
Dave Chappelle
Richard Pryor
80's Eddie Murphy 
Denis Leary (because of his bat-shit craziness.)  
Aziz Ansari

 Katt Williams is hilarious. I've always thought black comedy was funny, but Katt makes it work by applying it to non-black humor as well. Louis CK works because his comedy is just conversational, situational humor that just feels natural and his boiling hate is so funny. I always thought Bill Maher was funny as hell. I love his show, but his comedy is great, too. George Lopez is hilarious as well. His best piece is "Why You Cryin'?" Kevin Hart is so goddamn funny. I'm always falling over, dying, when I watch his stuff. I'm sure I'm missing a couple, but whatevs.

" Doug Stanhope "

Carlos Mencia 
 
 
 
 
All other stand-up comedians are complete talentless hacks.  

Louis CK, Patrice O'Neal, Jim Jefferies, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle and Katt Williams
 
Edit: Forgot Bill Hicks and Jim Norton..

not a huge fan of Louis C.K., but i'm more indifferent than anything. my favorite stand-up comedians would be (in no particular order):
 
George Carlin 
Bill Hicks
Dave Chappelle
Daniel Tosh 
Mitch Hedberg
Lewis Black
Brian Posehn
Patton Oswalt
Richard Pryor 
Brian Regan
Chris Rock
Jim Gaffigan
Hannibal Buress 

" Carlos Mencia     All other stand-up comedians are complete talentless hacks.   "

Louis C.K 
Ricky Gervais 
Russell Brand 
Pretty much all British Stand-Up comedians. 
JIm Jeffries

" CARL BARON "

Chris Rock  
Eddie Murphy
Ricky Gervais 

top would definitely be  
dave shapelle 
George Carlin  
Louis CK   
Dylan Moran

Does Chris Rock count?

Marc Maron.

I love a ton of comedians ranging from popular to alternative, but this guy I just relate to on a lot more levels than the rest.

Rodney Dangerfield 
Also been lovin Aziz Ansari's stuff lately
 
Hopefully no one says Dane Cook

Ricky Gervais is probably my favorite foreign stand-up comedian, other than that there's a lot of Danish comedians that are hilarious, one of the few things this damn country does better/on par with others.

David Cross

Louis CK is without a doubt the best comic working today.  His specials are infinitely rewatchable and his show is truly something special.

Ricky Gervais    
Bo Burnham  
Jim Gaffigan   
Paul F. Tompkins    
Marc Maron 

"Doug Stanhope "

"Tig Notaro is the one funny woman comedian. Everyone else is cute so you laugh, Tig is actually funny. "

Bill Hicks 
Maria Bamford 
...Doug Benson is also pretty good.
