    Not sure if this has been asked before but what are your all-time favorite routines by comics, whether it be live, HBO, or whatever? Also, are you a fan of the raunchy like Murphy and Rock or the more PG like Seinfeld?
    A few of mine include:
    Eddie Murphy-Raw
    Richard Pryor-Live on the Sunset Strip (1982)
    Chris Rock-Bigger & Blacker
    The Blue Collar Comedy Tour
    There's a few others that are memorable as well.

    Quoted from the highly intelligent Demetri Martin,"If my middle name were hypothetical, it would be awkward." ~ could be taken either of two ways. Also - "If I had to get a tattoo it would be quotation marks around my mouth."

    I love a lot of stand up comedy from the straight shows to the more elaborate Edinburgh Fringe style productions but I think the one that really stands out for me that had me rolling around on the floor was Dave Chapelle's Killin' them Softly

    From a different perspective and just to listen to comedians and their take on comedy though the show did have it's own flaws I really enjoyed The Green Room with Paul Provenza (you can catch most of the episodes on youtube)

    The observational humour of Louis C. K has me crying with laughter every time.

    He’s absolutely amazing. More than his standup I enjoy the “Between the scenes” on the daily show. Brilliant.

    But my fav stand up comedian has to be Russell Peters.
