...though I do like Sarah Silverman.

I like a lot already mentioned. George Carlin in paticular. I also love the classics. The Marx Brothers always crack me up. Every new years eve I watch " A Night at the Opera."
I also love The Stooges, Laurel and Hardy and W.C. Fields.

I'm not a fan of Jimmy Carr at all. He's witty/clever in a sort of superficial way, but his humour has a really nasty side to it and I hate some of his own personal views (can't say more here on TB).Aaaah.....Fist Of Fun....remember that little gem?
Ps...no Jimmy Carr on your list?
I don't like Sarah Silverman for some of the same reasons.

By the way, Titus, be sure to watch the Stewart Lee clip I posted. There's a nice little dig at Jimmy Carr in there.

Absolutely. I already mentioned Eddie Izzard and Billy Connolly. And I've also enjoyed some sets by Russell Brand, Bill Bailey, Russell Peters and Jim Jeffries.
As for why? They're funny. It's not much more complicated than that.
