Battle of the Stand-Up Comedians
Hey, it's been a fruitful series of threads, so I thought I'd cash in. But more than that, I just want to pay my respects to the late great George Carlin, who is my first nomination.

Usual rules. Each person can nominate 10 and second 5 initially. Undoubtedly these rules will be broken, but I'm a pretty epic moderator, so I figure I can deal with it. Just. Not sure about the total I'll use to run the battle, so we can play it by ear for now.

I'm also allowed to break the rules. Do as I say, not as I do.

My 6 noms to get things going:

George Carlin
Flight of the Conchords
Ross Noble
Mitch Hedberg
Eddie Murphy
Dylan Moran

Nominate: Louis C.K. - the man who Dane Cook stole every one of his funny jokes from.
