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.
 
Well, I have a pretty long list!

Best Comics:
Keith Alberstadt,
Sebastion Maniscalco,
Jordan Schlansky(unintentional),
Triumph the insult Comic Dog
Demetri Martin
Russel Peters
Carlos Mencia
Jerrod Carmichael
Helen Hong
Ari Shaffir

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)
 
Will throw a few Ausssie names into the mix :
Carl Barron
Lano and Woodley
Celia Pacquola
Troy Kinne
Wil Anderson
Kitty Flanagan
Adam Hills
Jim Jeffries
 
The observational humour of Louis C. K has me crying with laughter every time.
