Although it is clear that Pryor and Carlin's greatness becomes multiplied by their prolific output each, Dennis remains no slouch. He has also developed a prideful body of work--but nothing that comes close to harking back to his atom bomb--the Thor's hammer of comedy--THE OFF WHITE ALBUM. His rants about the deep south linger like the palate of a fine port. As for Sam, R.I.P., dude--oh OOOOOOH! Still waiting on Chris Rock's masterpiece, but I think he's close. As for the players from Lenny Bruce on back to Vaudeville, that's an argument of era and style better saved for another time, but frankly, I do not recall the need to gasp for air from hearing Henny Youngman one-liners. In the case of Bruce--he's remembered more for being censored than for being funny. I'll take Michael Winslow's grotesque noises or even some perfectly-timed Steven Wright dead pan genius before that ancient stuff, bless their souls. Although Don Rickles had his moments and Myron Cohen's genius was pretty subtle. Also, I am sure Bill Cosby, who is a unique genius, affected more than just Seinfeld. I have to give an honorable mention to that filthy vile freak, Andy Silverstein from NE Philly, er...Andrew Dice Clay from Brooklyn--his 15 minutes of fame floored me into critical condition, viz a viz any episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but that guy flamed hard. I saw him at a small club in Boston in 1994. The unknown opening act was the peak of the evening. Speaking of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Richard Lewis is an underrated comic, but I am still waiting for his masterpiece too. Shouts out to Rodney Dangerfield, David White, Andy Kaufman, Richard Belzer, Josh Brewster, Steve Martin, Christopher Lloyd, Jim Carey, Foster (hiccup) Brooks, Bernard Fox, Red Skelton, Jack Martling, Larry Miller, Gary Shandling, Dick York, Cheech Marin, Yakov Smirnoff, Eugene Levy, Victor Borge, Leon Askin, John Valby, Jerry Seinfeld, Strom Thurmond, Thomas Chong, Howard Caine, and Robin Williams. Aren't there any funny chicks? Maybe Phyllus Diller, Marion Lorne, Agnes Moorehead, and Ruth Buzzy.
