    Dave Chappelle and Jim Gaffigan

    I admit - Jim Gaffigan is pretty funny for a white guy who doesn't swear like a motherfucker.

    This list is pretty comprehensive.

    Some of those old school guys were pretty fucking funny, too. Jonathan Winters, Bob Newhart, Tim Conway (non-stand up division). I never much cared for Robin Williams and Steve Martin but they deserve respect.

    Don Rickles was funnier than at least 7 of those.

    You hockey puck.

    Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy, Chappelle, Chris Rock. All funnier than the cross-out whiteys.

    Fuck Carlos Mencia and Fluffy Inglesias are funnier than the cross-out whiteys.

    It's clear you hate Jews, Blacks and Messicans.

    George Carlin is the only funny white person. Ever.

    Though I do love me some fat Ralphie May.

    amiright, @Swaye
    Rickles, Carlin, CK, Kinison. The only funny white guys fucking ever.

    He's pretty much one of the only funny comedians who doesn't use shock laughter as his primary thing.

    Daniel Tosh was funny before he got overexposed. His standup was excellent.

    Tosh is a good mention.

    Can't include everyone in my top-10 list. Lots of splitting hairs due to some many great comedians. But some good mentions.

    Richard Pryor is way overrated, and I don't think I've ever laughed at anything Eddie Murphy has ever said. Chris Rock had some decent stuff. His voice is great for comedy, but his wit was a bit lacking. Chappelle's TV show was funny, but his stand-up doesn't do it for me. Red Fox was the funniest black comedian ever, and his act was way ahead of it's time.

    Dane Cook continues to get unwarranted hate. He's like the "Friends" of stand-up. High quality stuff, extremely popular, yet everyone claims to hate him.

    Iglesias and Mencia are terrible.
