Greatest American Comedians

[lucifer_sam]

It seems that there's always some sort of division of faith between British and American humor. People enumerate upon British humor's finer aspects again and again, but rarely is such advocacy leveled upon comedians over the pond.

Ordinarily I would stay the fuck away from this subject, but I've actually been perusing some of America's more talented comedians and surprisingly, there's a fair few who actually have some relevance to this day. And no, I'm not talking about George Carlin or Bill Hicks here and their pedantic social commentary.

Obviously I've got some compassion towards Mitch Hedberg, but there's plenty of others that revolutionized the field of stand-up (or otherwise) comedy, I want to hear what you guys think are some of the more tasteful ones.
