2. George Carlin - the man who taught me how to curse, and who to hate :image_4159:
1. Richard Pryor - been listening since i was minus 8 years old so his act is starting to wear on me a lil bit..

Okay now that we've seen the whole list it's time for my real TIRADE/RANT :image_9247_m:to start (stop reading here if you're an easily offended snowflake):

First of all, where in the absolute F**K is Dice? Sorry if he uhhhfffeeeended the gen z crowd who drew up this shitshow of a list but I was at one of his shows in Chelsea back in the day and he was funnier than any of the soyboys now who call themselves comedians. Perhaps a libtard magazine like Rolling Stone should STICK TO MUSIC choices. Also, who the hell is Moms Mabley and why is she on a "funniest comedians" list? Could it be because she's an african-american rugmuncher? (and no that's not racist) And don't forget Roseanne Barr who they had at #38 would be CANCELLED the following year over a "racist" tweet she made. So so so calling Valerie Jarrett a sheboon from Planet of the Apes is somehow racist? Whatever happened to FREEDOM OF A SPEECH? And the fact of the matter is she's a [n-word deleted] after all! And don't get me started on how they left out Jay Leno and David Letterman (whose politics I don't particularly like) no doubt because they're WHITE MALES. What's the matter too real? I don't care what "Rolling Stone" thinks anyhow Leno & Letterman are LEGENDS of comedy no matter which side of the political fence the boomer you're asking is. And last but not least, how the can they leave out Bob freaking Hope?? You mean the man who's been a wartime legend on stage since America was turning chink cities into gook ashes? This one really pissed me off more than anything as a veteran.

With all that having been said, this list gets from me two fat THUMBS DOWN for political correctness and overall stupidity. Anyone who isn't a millennial piece of shit will agree with me.

Dangerfield at 26? Literally, no respect. He's pretty much what standup is supposed to be-- actual punchlines. He can tell you his life is fucked up but with punchlines every 5-10 seconds---

I really think that Carlin and Hicks unintentionally ruined standup. Too many assholes want to be philosophizers instead of being funny.

I never trust these fucking lists ever since an alleged viewer poll on channel 4 in the UK tried to say Alexai Sayle was a more influential stand up than Dice. You’ll recognise Sayle as the Jew who plays an arab in the third Indiana Jones movie who makes the “Tanks” “ you’re welcome “ gag, that and the guy everyone went for a piss when he came on screen for ten minutes in The Young ones

Alexei Sayles parents were both self proclaimed communists and members of some communist party in the UK, he ended up becoming a communist himself, packed it in, then picked up the hammer & sickle again after being a pseudo commie became the "in" thing amongst "intellectuals" in the UK again.

He's every kike stereotype rolled into one fat scouse cunt.
