  • navster15, on 05/07/2008, -1/+37Tracy Morgan is unknown? I figure with his time on SNL and the current popularity of 30 Rock, he's pretty well known.
  • SubaruPowah, on 05/07/2008, -3/+36Bill Hicks, David Cross, and Louis CK.
  • chubbybubba, on 05/07/2008, -8/+37Mitch Hedberg. He could make the most simple thing funny. Rest in Peace brother.
  • davecapp, on 05/07/2008, -8/+35This list needs more Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn
  • ccolec, on 05/07/2008, -3/+29Chris Elliot is terribly underrated.
  • Boshow, on 05/07/2008, -1/+26Zach Galifianakis just came out with a DVD, Live at the Purple Onion. Very funny stuff. He was also on Will Ferrel's comedy tour with some other comedians that should be on this list including Demetri Martin and Nick Swardson.
  • inactive, on 05/07/2008, -3/+23Ok, this is the internet.

    On the internet, you don't actually need to make pages upon pages to distribute the text because you are not physically limited by the size of the book the text is to be printed on. It's not powerpoint, it's the Internet.

    Now that you know this, don't make me load the same ***** article 11 times because you cut it up in random pieces for absolutely no reason, espescially on a slow ass server.

    Thank you.
  • skored, on 05/07/2008, -5/+21glad Jimmy included artie lange on his list. artie has been cracking me up for years. his movie with norm mcdonald 'Dirty Work' is really underrated http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120654/
  • MikeonTV, on 05/07/2008, -2/+15Good list. Zach Galifianakis is the only one I don't know (and love). But I'm checking him out now.
  • Shadowgamers, on 05/07/2008, -1/+11Dugg for Zach and that Artie, that fat bastard :]
  • akrondude, on 05/07/2008, -0/+10 I've heard of all of these guys, so I guess I'm everyone.
  • edrift101, on 05/07/2008, -0/+10Louis CK is comedy gold. Great material, which is why quite a few of the current "heavy hitters" are stealing his stuff.
  • inactive, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9It's strange to think that Zach isn't huge. Online, and especially on digg, it seems like EVERYONE love and appreciates him, yet he is still a relative unknown to the general public.

    I don't get it...
  • caselogic, on 05/07/2008, -6/+15Get a life.
  • presidentjapan, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9Big x2 to Bill Hicks and David Cross.
  • YourSexyMama, on 05/07/2008, -2/+10Wow, I can't believe you've never heard of him... The only good comedian of those four is Zach.
  • whatthehell9, on 05/07/2008, -3/+11Doug Stanhope
  • nbcaffeine, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9No
  • im2emo4myshrt, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7Demetri Martin is unbelievably funny. He is Mitch Hedberg reincarnated but with music skills and drawings. Unquestionably my favorite living comic today.

    "I think the worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades."
  • Jektal, on 05/07/2008, -5/+12And online (and especially on Digg): Obama would be the democratic candidate, although he'd have no chance of beating Ron Paul in November. Snakes on a Plane would have set opening-night box office records, and Bush would be impeached.
    Now, what have you learned about the internet?
  • serif69, on 05/07/2008, -1/+8No Mike Birbiglia? Cracker please.
  • mptsxtps, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7Good to see Zach on there. He is hilarious and have no idea why people don't know who he is. There are tons of videos of him on FunnyOrDie (Absolut Vodka anyone?) and YouTube. Make sure to check him out at http://www.ucbcomedy.com/groups/view/56
  • bjs3171, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7everyone knows those first two. Louis CK is really funny though, as was his one season of Lucky Louie. why did they cancel that?
  • inajeep, on 05/07/2008, -1/+8That's some pic Jimmy, ease up on the weed a bit.
  • nbcaffeine, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Because it was funny and people liked it. Thats what the networks are trying to prevent (yes i know it was on hbo)
  • westcor, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Zach rocks, too bad no david cross
  • scoetrain, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Louis CK's bit on what it might be like in hell is one of the funniest ever.
  • inactive, on 05/07/2008, -1/+7I also like Gaffigan, Demetri Martin & Harland Williams.
  • inactive, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Love Stanhope!
  • ChronicColonic, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6You're an idiot. FTFY
  • DteK, on 05/07/2008, -2/+7was the best unkonwn comic
  • blackbeardtron, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Sorry, I'm busy. I gotta go... lift weights.
    (to myself)...What?
  • sweetlove911, on 05/07/2008, -2/+7Substitute Tracy Morgan for David Cross and you have a perfect list.
  • inactive, on 05/07/2008, -5/+10That it's populated by snarky, self loathing, jackasses like yourself?
  • HyperJack, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Is this what you meant:
    http://digg.com/music/Zach_Galifianakis_Will_Oldha ...
    Why can't Digg sort out these damn truncated links!
  • AricC, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5I like the part with the fake dead hookers in the trunk!
  • caselogic, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Get a life.
  • presidentjapan, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5List needs David Cross, the worlds first 'Anal-rapist'.
    I just blue myself!
  • edrift101, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Louis C.K. and Jesse Joyce
  • diggerphelps, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Look at you, you baby gorilla.
  • CMuffa, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4You are missing a humor gene or a funny bone then. Tracy's role on 30 Rock is his best fit yet. And if you don't laugh at the episode where Alec Baldwin plays his father during therpy, then that should validate your missing humor gene.
  • amgamer23, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4"I've never seen so many dead hookers in my life!"
    "Lord knows I have..."
  • SketchaMPM, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4and THERE'S THE SAIGON WHORE...THAT BIT MY NOSE OFF!!
  • inactive, on 05/07/2008, -2/+6This list appears to only honor those smart enough to not die of drug overdoses.
  • rotomd, on 05/07/2008, -4/+8Just the fact that Arty Lang is on there, invalidates that list. I have yet to find one thing that guy does to be funny (except heroin of course, which always kills - yuck yuck yuck). Dirty work was great, but Norm carried that whole movie. Any bozo could have played Lang's character in it. If he wasn't on Stern I don't think nobody would have the time of day to listen to Arty.

    Also, I'm pretty sure most people know who Tracy Morgan is. I wish he would have put some more comedians on there that a majority of people wouldn't know, like Scharpling and Wurster or Eugene Mirman.
  • directrix13, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5I concur. His wittiness shows through the fairly shallow game show on wheels, and is one of the few reasons I watch that show.
  • Rayhush, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4While I enjoy Demetri, that statement is false.
  • AngelDragon, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Cabin Boy & Letterman

  • Noobstradamus, on 08/29/2009, -1/+5Exactly.
  • Shadowgamers, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Dig for the irony
