shipwreckers 03/05/20 1:05:59 AM #1:	I'm not just talking about the FUNNIEST comedians. Which comedians do you think present the most intelligent points on stage? For example, when George Carlin was alive, he would often talk about actual, serious issues making many valid, sometimes even harsh points (though it was "masked" in humor, to make it easier to digest). Which comedians do you think are the most intelligent and thought-provoking??? --- Money is overrated... <cite>shipwreckers posted [p:935252543] in Who do you...

WhiskeyDisk 03/05/20 11:17:05 AM #22:	Zeus posted... And if only he graduated college, maybe his comedy would have genuine insights. What you guys aren't taking into consideration with Carlin is that he effectively reinvented the entire art of stand-up comedy during his career. Before Carlin, a standup could ride the same hour of bits for 30 years. Carlin basically wrote a new hour every year for 30+ years and burned his old act as soon as it was on tape. Dice would still be opening with Little Miss Muffet if it weren't for Carlin.
