AFV: America's Funniest Videos


Although not stand-up comedy as my previous posts, I feel this show needs some recognition because we can all agree, seeing others fall on their asses is funny as hell.

AFV was actually based off a Japanese show, "Fun TV". Bob Saget was the original host, now currently hosted by Dancing With the Stars host, Tom Bergeron.

Some of my personal favorite videos.

Jeff Dunham


A favorite among many, Jeff Dunham is an American Ventriloquist and stand up comedian who has also appeared on numerous shows and is one of the top-grossing stand up acts and is successful in Europe as well. He is known for reviving the art of ventriloquism using several characters he created for his comedy act. He is the third highest paid comedian in the US behind Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock.

Dunham uses several puppets, all of which have a unique personality, often times representing a stereotype. In his acts he uses Peanut (in above pic), Walter the grumpy old Vietnam war veteran, Jose the Jalapeno on a Stick, a Latin Jalapeno... on a stick, Achmed the Dead Terrorist (SILENCE! I KILL YOU!), Bubba J the red neck, Sweet Daddy Dee the P.I.M.P., and Melvin the Super hero guy who makes fun of other heroes (and seems to have x-ray vision).

Stephen Lynch


Stephen Andrew Lynch born July 28 (hey same birthday as me :D), 1971 is a unique stand-up comedian for most of his jokes are in song form. Most of them mock daily life and culture. He released two studio albums and two live albums and has been featured in two Comedy Central Presents specials.
