He had a joke about rating how bad a person you were by how long you waited after 9/11 to masturbate. "Me, I rubbed one out between the two towers falling". As for Dane Cook, I think it's not that he's funny, but you have to admit that he's very good at delivery, and people respond more to that than his actual jokes. If you read his material, its nothing

Louis CK is amazing. easily one of my favorite comedians. He can somehow act like he hates everything and yet make people laugh from it.

Love that guy. I like Frankie Boyle at the moment, but his stand-up routines aren't really suited to stand-up, they're more for topical quiz shows and such. Really harsh one-liners.

Another few :

Billy Connolly
Ross Noble

his picture was on the wall @ Gotham Comedy CLub - saw it last night when I went for Steve Byrne.

Also - one of the writers from Chapelle Show was opening for Byrne - HILARIOUS! He came up with a new racism sketch for the show. Hysterical.

SOmething like - the white people's faces on the last day of slavery
