Delirious is better than Raw smile

Ooh, I love the part in 'Kings Of Comedy' when Steve Harvey talks about old school music lol

Martin Lawrence is, unfortunately, not even close to deserving a spot in the top five. He has his moments, but overall, he is not that funny.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Chris Rock's "Bring the Pain" is way better than Martin Laurence. It made him a household name.

I would also replace Kings of Comedy with Steve Martin's "Wild and Crazy Guy".


Of your five? Richard Pryor. Without him, none of the other 4 would even be here.

Pryor hands down with Delirious as a runner up...

As far as the number of stand-up comedians all telling the same joke...

The Aristocrats

Showing a stand-up in action and how the work, Seinfeld's "Jerry"

Yes!

Love her. The filming of this show is hysterical in and of itself. I thought it was very brave of her to do it that way instead of in front of a real audience.

I really love Whoopi Goldberg's Direct From Broadway film.

I bought the 2-DVD set when it was released.

So mad I missed her Back on Broadway show in 2005.

she has a couple other stand-up movies/specials and they're funny, but not nearly as good as "without you i'm nothing". and what's great is, the soundtrack is a totally different performance recording than the movie, and both versions are hilarious in their own rights.
