    Walking to lunch in LA, literally every single person we passed was playing Pokemon Go. Without exception. Wild.

    Yeah, but as important as it gets.

    most comedians don't even find Bruce that funny. More "important" than actually funny

    The (cowardly) person I'm drinking with who doesn't want to be named is fighting for Gary Shandling, the precursor to Seinfeld

    I'm seems silly to call Chapelle underrated but I'd never gone through anything like it when he blew up. It was huge

    Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Dave Chappelle, Louis CK,

    This is actually how our debate started. If Louis was the biggest comedian 5 years ago, who is it today?

    I would put Louis C.K. in the top five. Maybe even top three.

    Izzard was probably the funniest show I've seen in person.

    Chris Rock. Eddie Izzard. Louis CK.

    Eddie Murphy Raw/Delirious were arguably the most influential standup routines of his generation.

    I'm an Eddie Murphy guy. Despite the dated homophobia.

    A personal favourite. But Steven Wright created that genre or whatever you call it so he loses some points.

    Mitch Hedberg, for your consideration.

    Hey so has enough time passed that one can say maybe Carson wasn't very good?

    Although not a fan myself, Seinfeld could be in there. Carlin, Bruce and Pryor for sure. Chris Rock or Johnny Carson perhaps?

    We just had a long debate about this. His standup is great, but isn't nearly all of his impact from film?

    Robin Williams or no one.

    Seinfeld transformed the sitcom, but not really standup. But yeah Rock is a contender.

    Seinfeld Rock

    Bar discussion: who are the top 5 stand-ups of all time? Locks: Carlin, Pryor. Gotta put Bruce. Rickles? Rivers? Opinions welcome.

    I’m overwhelmed, I’m so underwhelmed. This exceeds all expectations of how much it would fall short of expectations.

    Provincial trade ministers reach a "historic" agreement on interprovincial flow of booze...to set up a process to talk about it some more.
