I'm with Dean on this one. Nobody out there currently is that great IMO. There's some funny stuff, but no one who cracks me, regularly, up.

...Richard Pryor was pretty decent, but he's not all that removed from whoever that guy doing ethnic one-liners is that you mentioned...

SACRILIGE!!!!! If you haven't heard more than what was popular in his work, you're missing out man! The thing about Richard was that the shit he told was the truth, about his own life. Things that would likely emotionally cripple the average person, he made light of, and was able to make other people laugh about it as well. He was on the leading edge of the people you see nowadays, who make jest at life's daily interactions, (Seinfeld) and have ludicrously foul mouths, (everybody else). Even he himself grew out of the "how obscene can I be" mindset in his later stuff, and continued KILLING. I've never laughed so hard I thought I was literally gonna piss myself, except listening to Pryor.
