Favorite/Least Favorite Comedians?

I have so many favorites, here are some I like:
George Carlin
Mitch Hedberg
Patton Oswalt
Norm Macdonald
Jim Gaffigan
Bill Hicks
Zach Galifianakis
Several comedic/improv actors as well (Steve Carrel, Stephen Colbert, Kids In The Hall, Rowan Atkinson, Monty Python)

I don't like:
Dane Cook (liked him at first, but got bored with his routine)
Carlos Mencia
Joe Rogan (worries too much about plagiarism in comedy instead of being a comedian)
Many comics that air on TV in Canada
 
Faves-
Richard Pryor
George Carlin
Robin Williams (though he can be a tad manic at times!)
Victor Buono (Now THAT's old-school!!!)
Eddie Murphy
Kathy Griffin
Ron White (basically, he's a clone of my dad!)
Billy Connolly
Stephen Wright
Paul Lynde
Russell Peters (Indian guy from Canada, he's a RIOT!)



Not Faves-
Ellen DeGenerate
Don Rickles
Carrot-Top

Lists subject to change at any moment.

Dane Cook

The comic you're thinking of is Jim Gaffigan. I like him, but I admit, his hotpockets bit isn't too good. Sometimes he'll do the hotpocket thing for a couple minutes (good) sometimes for beyond 10 minutes (not good).
 
Doug Stanhope rules right now, his "No Refunds" show that's on TV and DVD right now is amazing! Also like;
George Carlin
Billy Connelly
Eddie Murphy (Delirious is classic)
Richard Pryor (maybe the best all-time)
early Martin Lawrence (before the "Martin" show)
Lewis Black


don't like;
The Cable Guy
The "you know your a red-neck" guy
Mencia
Dane Cook
