Stop acting like your old Kevin. Good grief, you're what 34?
You werent even a thought by your parents when Buddy Hackett was doing stand up.

Carrot Top is the funniest guy alive and Tom Durkin is also a non stop amusement.

Default Bill Hicks
Not many people remember Bill Hicks, who died of cancer in 1994. You can find many of his bits and interviews on youtube. This guy was incredibly cutting edge, and the topics he talks about 15 years ago are even more relavent today.
