I would suggest the early...early Firesign Theater CD's.

Lots of fun, and after repeated listenings, you "hear" more things in them. The dialogue is infectious, you will find yourself having fun "repeating it" !

You beat me to it.
"Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him"

"How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?"

"Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand me the pliers"

What inspired weirdness and lunacy. I'm not even going to try to guess what could inspire such weirdness and lunacy, but there it is.

I enjoyed his Comedy Central Presents special and checked out his site. Man, his bits about Monopoly, going up to a girl at the bar, and a fun thing to do at the bank absolutely floored me. Went ahead and pre-ordered from Circuit City ($12.99 plus free shipping) and was notified that it shipped today. I can't wait to get this.

Okay, i am looking to buy some more cds that I can listen to in the car and I already listened to the good ones I have.

i am looking for the edgy stand-up comics like Robert Shimmel, Dave Atell, David Cross etc...I have their cds, but can you reccommend anyone else? Thanks....
Me and my friend go on road trips quite often and one of our traditions is listening to comedy cds on the way... David Cross is a good one, but the best is Henry Rollins... get all his CDs - that'll keep you busy enough. The newer, the funnier - it used to be "spoken word" - kindof a freeform punk poetry of sorts, but he's since turned into more of a stand-up comedian. If you like David Cross, you'll really dig Henry. Another good one is Andrew Dice Clay - The Day the Laughter Died - it's not like his standard crappy stand-up - it's more of an experiement. A true classic. Steve Martin's old stuff is hilarious and classic, but we've never tried it on our trips.

edit: oh yeah... almost forgot. Our newest favorite is Dane Cook. He's hilarious. Also might want to check out Neil Hamburger.

Mitch Hedberg rules!

Also check out George Lopez. I think he is from Los Angeles, but here in San Antonio, his humor about hispanics and latinos is hilarious.

Monty Python's The Final Rip Off may be my favorite or try these two.

Woody Allen is excellent


Very funny.

I forgot about Weird Al. He's got a lot of great cd's. Running With Scissors & his new one: Poodle Hat are his most recent and I think his best. He's definitley worth a look.
