100 Greatest Stand-up Comedians - (part 1)

[Ottoplemeniti]

Oh ffs, after seeing Bill Cosby so low, I think that by the end of this playlist I'll be pretty pissed.

[Rawk4Life]

@Ottoplemeniti Watch Bravo's 100 Greatest Stand Ups of All Time. Bill Cosby is at #8 on the list.

[Ottoplemeniti]

@Rawk4Life Will do.



[rohitrez]

Lol at lee mack higher than bill cosby

[WastedDaze78]

Bill Cosby at #96? can I even take this list seriously anymore???

[nitro855]

Dave chappelle is the Best

[camillaparks]

Why is all the 'bad language' cut out?

[TheWoods18]

lee mack sucks

[hkrobin]

Can teenagers with fuck all knowledge of any act that isn't on some kind of palladium shitshow, or a panel show with no value stop having an opinion? Irritating little bastards that haven't heard of George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, George Burns, Bill Hicks, Bill Cosby et al. Not to mention current acts, which aren't McIntyre or Bishop or some blinky twat.

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@hkrobin I came here purely to see where Bill Hicks was ranked.

[mrcuddles100]

YEA I KNOW ITS ALMOST LIKE PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS

[megan2399x]

i didnt know tim vine was a comedian , i only know him from not going out :L

[Tupac786Jr]

bill cosby 96 are you a fuking crackhead... easily in the top 10 for anybody who knows true comedy

[DeLqCj]

The rankings on this show we're made according to British voters in an effort to prove once again that they have no sense of humor! I mean Carlin is on 60something, what a load of bollocks...

[CoolerKing37]

@DeLqCj At least in the updated list, Carlin cracked the Top 30.

[drfunk444]

Bill Cosby #96? Really? 96? He beat out a Game Show Host by 1? Really? Bill Cosby #96?

[dogarmyrecords]

Sorry my mistake, he was no 21 :)

[dogarmyrecords]

It was redone in 2010 and Lee Mack was no 40 something in there, so it's not all bad :)

[GeekClips]

What is this? 1980's list?

[PADGEist]

How Can Tim Vine, Alan Carr and Lee Mack Be That Low Down In The List ? Honestly ? They're are all comedy GENIUSES

[axeyguitar888]

Alan Carr in the 90's your having a laugh

[SICKHEADCENTRAL]

lee mack only 95? disgrace.

[buddhamaster69]

what year did this go out?

[atlascomesnow]

@buddhamaster69 This is the 2007 list.

[Sboy200]

95? lee mack? what?

[iLikeNachooooz]

stop crying that some1ns low on their list,

it's still top 100 of the last 50 years out of about 500000 comedians.

[snausagesrgood]

Bill cosby should have been way higher up.

[ECWnWWF]

is this the 100 best comedians in england?

[whatisinyourwallet]

Keep pressing 4:20

[marsflamesniper]

Lee Mack should be SO MUCH FURTHER UP.

[mainhoondon21]

Anyone know what number Mitch Hedberg is?

[oozealot]

Is it me or does Lee Mack look like Jeff from Peep Show?

[RandonCL]

So is the next one who the duck r these people

[RandonCL]

The first dude is WAAAACK!!!!!!!!

[ChristopherDone]

"Bill Cosby is one of the true greats", in at number 96, said by someone who'll never make the list.

[ben6993]

I prefer the 2010 list, it's a lot better

[12345l6789]

Just as Adam Bloom said, Tim Vine makes you laugh! You cant make excuses about it, its just very very funny.

[Whoizcasper]

the fact that dave chappelle wasnt in the top 5 let alone even on the list when jimmy '1 dimensional' carr shows the credibility of this list

[number6of6the6beast]

George carlin and bill hicks should in the top 5 in my opinion..

[manbot47]

thank you for posting this. i've been wanting to re-watch this for years

[dieforpunkrock]

whos number 98?



[Simetra666]

Do you think you could upload the 2010 list as well?

[blackmetalblunt]

cosby at 96!?!?!? well that shows the credibility of this list.

[CoolerKing37]

Cosby only gets a 30 second segment? Booooo!

[jdbankshot]

cosby at #96!!!?????? that's a helluva good joke!

[oogalypoogalyman]

just watched the whole thing backwards, thanks very much for uploading. some of these early ones seem much better than the stuff in the middle

[Fubs]

Thanks so much for this, great for a hangover!!!

[shinjukugewalt]

5:10 lol queen was amused

[OneStep600]

1 people...wait that doesnt work.

[sporty1976s]

Cosby should be in the top 20 period.

[oscarherman94]

Thumbs up for the serious woman at 00.00

[Domydoor]

lee mack should be in the top 10!

[gosushigo97]

@Domydoor absolutely!! he is so crack up!!

[MeshChromatones]

Lee Mack and Tim Vine should be higher, two of the funniest in my opinion. Love 'em

[mjordan1998]

I really wish I could like these UK comedians but I cant understand what they are saying. Is it the same for british people listening to Americans?

[FlumblesMum]

@mjordan1998 No.

[clublandents]

Bernard Manning should be way up the list... wwwlaughteruk.co.uk

Hire a comedian UK, Sportsmans Dinner Comedian, Book a Comedian, Wedding Comedian, English Comedians, After Dinner Speakers. wwwlaughteruk.co.uk

[PTPyjamas]

Lee Mack shouldn't even be on the list, he's one of the least funny stand ups I've ever seen.

[ahmedeox]

lee mack should be higher

[666deadman1988]

3:06 - 3:16 Ah Jesus it's the Whiterock Road lol.

[blondbecky22]

Does anyone know where can i watch the 2010 poll

[JaneKAndrews]

Thanks for uploading!!!

[SleepPersonParty]

Christ, Cosby definitely deserves a higher spot. 

[2003jackb]

lee mack should be so much higher

[FlumblesMum]

@2003jackb He is in the 2010 poll! (This one is from 2007.) He's in 21st place! ;)

[beerstudd76]

Bill Cosby #96? I'm not a huge fan of his but what f_cking retard put this list together?

[Baalthazaq]

@beerstudd76

I think they're looking at popularity, in the UK, today.

I say this as an amateur standup comedian myself, whose idol is Cosby, so I'm not saying this lightly. I just think he had a massive impact in the US, and a much more minor impact in the UK.

[beerstudd76]

@Baalthazaq Oh

[FlumblesMum]

I've saw Tim Vine live years ago, and I'm going to see Lee Mack in November. At the Hammersmith Apollo, no less! I am SO excited!

[DontGoQuietly]

I'd only ever seen Bill Cosby's TV stuff, but I'm going to have to check out his stand up. I'm watching this ill with stomach pains and I had to pause because his section made me laugh so much.

[heavykid155]

You Racist as nigga y is bill cosby 96

[ajcusn]

Bill Cosby is a legend who has been around for decades. 96 is way to high on the list. He belongs in the 20s at least. I think most people who enjoy stand up would agree.

[partyshock]

lol, tis nice to see that ONLY amurca and its girlfriend the UK have ever produced any comedians that r in the top 100

the rest of the world doesnt exist does it? :)

[SmileyFace6796]

I love alan carr <3 he's hillarious

[Kryppton1]

am sure these are all funny, but it's a bit hard to catch on to European jokes

[annuity100]

Many thanks for the upload. Nicely stoned and looking forward to laughing my ass off for the next few hours! Cheers mate!

[TheMischievousbull]

tim vine and lee mack should really be higher in this list.

[jaredabccrisscross]

Comparing Bill Cosby to those freaky British people is just a crime...

[Viberationz]

@jaredabccrisscross the brits are the kings of comedy, not standup but just being straight funny people

[Gwitfu90]

In Britain, Billy Connolly is famous. But in America, who's Billy Connolly?

[StevePrestonTV]

was that the queen of england at 5:10 ???

[annuity100]

@StevePrestonTV Yes! It's call the Royal variety preformance and there is one every year where various acts perform.

[dazzaehmdvd]

@StevePrestonTV Yeah, Bitch  ;)

[MCAMVP]

bill cosby at 96 ???

how much of his stuff actually arrived in the uk

[Rubberchix]

im glad you cut out the faggy intro, it almost made me start at part 2 cos i couldnt be arsed with it.

[MrFluffyjedi]

bill cosby at 96 what the hell?!?!?!?!!?

[bishbosh75]

patrick kielty isnt in the top 100000 stand ups let alone 100 i know its subjective

[mistaben2k]

Patrick Keilty is a sychophantic wanker.

[juffan]

This is going to be an obviously biased to England list isn't it...

[DietDrMario]

patrick should have been WAY higher!

[mistaben2k]

Patrick Keilty is a sychophantic Plastic Psddy.

[santis142]

when was this first broadcast? How up-to-date it it?

[filmgeek22]

@santis142 It was in 2007. But they doing another 100 greatest stand up comedians again on channel 4 this saturday though!

[ghostinyourcloset]

WTF!? alan carr should be number 1

[rickadlib]

Lee Mack is one of my favourites.

The chicken/chechen joke is one of the most genuinely unique and original jokes out there. Genius.

[PTPfilms]

These guys are mostly from britan

[richdvd]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've been looking for this for ages. I'm even doing my dissertation based around stand-up comedy and I knew this was gonna help. Thanks alot!

[raminile]

bill crosby should definitely be in the top 30, at least

[phw124]

@raminile that's probably why he is :D

[thegunclub123]

@raminile-Ah yes, William Crosby, the hermatologist.

[misy49]

this is great, lovely, your a beautiful person. However, coudl you mayeb upload the intro as well? If you have time

[mcskillby]

Thankyou for your lovely comment. I will upload the intro if I still have it, not sure though.

[misy49]

thankyou anyway. Just warning you, don't want to jinx it, but I think the last person to upload this got their account suspened (at least it was abandoned) so.....good on you, but be preperared.

For me though, this is soooo worth it

[mrconcept]

WTF Lee mack is way higher than 95.

[Keith6720]

Tim Vine should be higher up, he's a genious.

[elltell1990]

@Keith6720 well you'll be happy to know he was at 36 in the 2010 revamp list!

[Shroganor]

@Keith6720 Like #1 ;)
