David Cross is a god

[realisticphish]

My favorite comedian of all time, with the possible exception of Richard Pryor.

"What exactly is the missile defense shield?"
"Well, since you asked..."
"It's a net..."
"Made of magic..."
"That's held together by pixies"

"I don't think Osama bin Laden sent those planes to attack us because he hated our freedom. I think he did it because of our support for Israel and our ties with the Saudi family and all our military bases in Saudi Arabia.

You know why I think that?

Because that's what he FUCKING SAID. Are we a nation of six year olds? Answer: yes.

Why did the bad man put the plane into the building? 'Because he hated freedom'"

1. If you don't already know him...

You'd probably enjoy Bill Hicks.

But yeah, Cross is fucking awesome.

2. Bill hicks is great

I've been collecting political comedians lately, and he's way at the top of the list

3. Any other good suggestions?

Always looking for good political comedy myself.

4. well

it's hard to find heavily political comedians. I've had luck with older Bill Maher, and some George Carlin. Of course there's Lewis Black, and Henry Rollins is fantastic. For non-standup, I love the Capital Steps, and you HAVE to check out Roy Zimmerman's songs... fucking great
