1. Cringe humor is my favorite type. Right now my favorite comedians are Bobby Slayton, Richard Jeni, Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neal, Bill Burr, and Lewis Black.

My favorite of all time is George Carlin though.

2. Not anymore. Yes. ;)

My favorite comedian? I like so many different types, from old Richard Pryor, to Rodney Carrington, to Jerry Seinfeld.

I have found the new SNLs this year to be a bit funnier than last season.

George Carlin
Sam Kinison (RIP)
Eddie Murphy (80s era)
Richard Pryor (RIP)

SNL Sucks now, but it rocked in the 70's & 80s.

I like Lewis Black and Steve White. Ooo, and "The amazing Johnathin" that guy cracks me up!

SNL was MUCH better in the 80's.

As for SNL..IT SUCKS! That is the least funny show on TV. It will never be like it was in the 80's I watch Mad TV now which is hilarious.

My all time favorites are George Carlin & Bill Hicks. Honorable mentions go to Dave Chapelle, Sarah Silverman & Greg Giraldo.

I don't watch much SNL anymore...and yes, it was waaay better in the 80's. But I also like the when Phil Hartman & Will Ferrel were part of the cast. Will's Harry Carey bits are the funniest skits I've ever seen :D

for SNL, yes, definitely better in the 80's and 90's. Especially Dana Carvey and Mike Myers. Dana doing Bush was the best, and Mike's "Linda" and Deeter were great, too.

fav comedians:
Mel Brooks
Robin Williams
Brian Regan
Margaret Cho (not all, but some of her stand-up has me rolling)
Dane Cook

George Carlin, Richard Jeni, Dana Carvey, Ron White, and several others. :lol:

As for SNL, I still watch it, but I've seen eps from the 80's and early 90's, and they were truly the glory days. Maybe someday...

I think Jeff Foxworthy and those other 3 guys he does his show with are funny. I also think Christopher Titus is funny. Im not too much into stand up comics though....

I love Mad TV, too! I do miss Debra Wilson and Nicole Sullivan now that they are no longer with the show!

My other fave comedian: Triumph the Insult Dog from Conan O'Brien! I just bought a compilation DVD with nothing but Triumph's bits with extra poop!!! :rollin:
