The best stand up comedy online - My favourite videos
66There are so many websites where you can watch the best stand up comedy online. Youtube.com is my favourite place with so many videos, you may also try jokes.com they have got a good set of videos. Below are some of my favourite stand up comedians, I'm sorry that I dropped Chris Rock, really forgot, but we all know he's a brilliant comedian.
1-Robin Williams : my favourite
My personal first favourite artist. This man is brilliant and hilarious. It looks like his mind works faster than any human being in a strange way. Although he's old but you can never stop laughing at his jokes.
I think all stand up comedians have learned from Robin Williams, his jokes and lines are really funny and he knows how to get you laughing. His impersonation abilities are awesome too, as I mentioned in the hub Aladdin and genie, he has impersonated more than 50 characters in that show!.
The most interesting thing about Robin Williams is improvisation. He can come up with a brilliant line in a response to something the audience did or comment abot the look of some of the audience, etc. Just watch te videos !
2-Frank Caliendo!
He's a great impressionistif you haven't heard of him before. I can't resist laughing and being amazed by how this man changes his voice and his facial expressions that you think he's transforming into someone else. His best impersonation is George W. Bush.
Others are Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Bill Clinton, and so many other characters. You will love him.
3-Dave Chapelle
Talks alot about racism. His jokes and lines are so natural and you feel like he just says things you always wanted to say. His funny jokes will crack a smile on your face and yet it's kinda deep.
His show "Chapelle's show" made him popular to people accross the United States.I think he's one of the best stand up comedians. You can find his videos on Youtube.com too. Enjoy!
4-Russel Peters
He's so fun when he talks about Indians, Chinese, black and white people. He mocks all races. And he is very good at the accents. Listen to his "Canadian white accent" !.
5-Jerry Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld is one smart and witty comedian. Many of us have known him by his show. He's a very talented stand up comedian. His style is "observational comedy". He's also a good writer.
Jerry is a famous car collector and they say he has the beggiest Porsche collection. Has played himself in the show "Seinfeld" and in a few movies.
6-George Carlin
Born 1937, Carlin won 5 Grammy awards for his comedy performances. He chooses controversial topics and crosses the lines when talking about politics, religion and black humor.
Carlin was the second on a list by the Comedy Central cable television networkof the 100 best comedians!
He died in 2008.
7- Eddie Murphey
An actor, director, producer, singer and comedian. The second highest grossing actor in history!
Beverly Hills cop, dreamgirls, Shrek (one of my favourite), doctor Dolittle, meet Dave and Metro are just some of his famous movies. In this video he's talking about the first black president. :)

I am familiar with your whole list except for #6.
And you left our Mr Chris Rock who is brilliant although he could lose some of the profanity. I can't believe you left him out. Impressionits OK, I cna agree with them.
I like those type very much too. Rich Little started that whole thing when I gew up. Robin Williams is excellent, quick and just good.
I saw Seinfeld do stand-up in person. He is and always will be in he in my top 3 comedians. Robin Williams, Richard Pryor (old timer) and him, whatever order is fine with me.
