How does one make a funniest black stand-up comedian poll without including Bill Cosby or Richard Pryor?

Robert Downey Jr

For his terribly unfunny black-face portrayal in Tropic Thunder right?

@huey_freeman34: he was pretty funny

He usually is in most of the roles where he is supposed to be funny (like in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang for ex.) but he wasn't in Tropic imo.

Glover, then Williams. Not a fan of most of the others.

But if Cosby were on here, he'd be my #1. He's 77, and he's still undeniably funny.

So he doesn't qualify for this one either way seeing as how

  1. He's not Black and
  2. He doesn't do stand up.
  3. I hope you're joking..

I can't decide which is worse,Loiter Squad or his show

Well...uh,I don't think that a show can represent an entire race,but I'll take it for what it most likely was (a joke).

@huey_freeman34: he was black in the movie, and he does do standup, or has. Funniest by far imo.

Still doesn't qualify for this thread bc he isn't Black...I'm not understanding how you are failing to grasp this notion but either way I'm done discussing it with you. Additionally unless you've seen all of the acts listed (which I truly doubt you have) then you can't really say that Downey Jr. is funnier than all all of them.

Yeah, Eddie made me laugh more than any other stand up every did, his jokes about his dad getting him a puppy was f*cking hilarious

"I can't stand that puppy Eddie, you know what I do? You know what I do? When no one's around, I kick that little mothaf*cka, and giggle my mothaf*ckin' a** off"

Both anyway, to answer the question. Dave Chappelle gets my vote from the list

Patrice O'neal is the funniest comic every. black, white, indigo

I never listened to O&A without him and after you get through all the episodes you find that everyone from Louie to Chris to guys coming up took some Patrice material.
