Tell me funny comedy CDs

[Sarah]

I just watched Dylan Moran's "Like Totally" and a different version of "Monster" (a NYC performance was broadcast on BBC America a while back; the one I recently saw was in Dublin).  I find him funny.  I'm glad I now know how to pronounce his name properly (it's MOR-in, not Mor-AN).

There's also Red Fisher's Poems Of Our Great Outdoors with the awesome one named something like, "T'was The Night Before Fishin'"
I never thought that anyone else would ever mention this record.
I just flipped my wig!

This is probably rather polarizing (well, if anybody here has actually heard it) because its so completely bizarre/surreal/insane, but I absolutely love the Longmont Potion Castle series of prank call cds (and I usually hate prank calls). 

I can't help but admire a man who got Sidney Poitier to utter the immortal words "NOBODY IN THIS HOUSE ORDERED ANY MILLIPEDES! FUCK YOU!"

hey, i was going to make this exact same post. exact same wording and grammar and everything.

true story, i named my band Helium Ointment, and my solo stuff is Dougan Nash.

how would you like a twelve gauge at yo HEAAAAHHHHD???!?!?

What is the appeal of Neil Hamburger? I've tried listening to him many times and just don't get it.

I enjoy Hamburger, although the "it's funny because it's not very funny" thing doesn't exactly last.  It's similar to some Stella episodes for me.

I don't think this is really accurate, anymore.  Neil has turned into a pretty good joke-writer over the years, and I think his more recent material can be appreciated on a non-ironic level.  I really like his track on the CDR compilation.

I'm dumbfounded that the recipients of these calls stayed on the line for more than 15 seconds.  Despite the "whoop-your-ass" interfections, listening to these phone calls gives me immense faith in humanity.  Thanks for the recommendation.  I love these recordings.

I love the cruelty-free calls.  Like "The Pumpkin Brew.  I had it at Thanksgiving."  Or the classic "I'm looking for the montoyan/artesian connection.  And if you don't have it, let's put something together.  Whatever happened to that approach?"  That kills me every time.  Call me a sissy, but I'm not a fan of those calls where he kind of breaks down the person on the other line.  like making some girl cry while cajoling her to say "leprechaun julius."  Creepy.

john junk, you do know that i'm authorized to throw centipedes at you, right?

I love the cruelty-free calls.

Like "Goat." Where he looks out onto his fake yard and sees all these animals milling around. "I can't believe what I'm seeing" and then the old guy busitng his guy with laughter.

Just saw the Grammy nominees for Best Comedy Album over at chunklet.com. Let's just say there are a few notable omissions. Although George Lopez and Harry shearer got nods, so they haven't lost their minds completely.

Here's some even older stuff:  The Goon Show--seminal stuff.  Bob and Ray, for sure.  Beyond the Fringe.  Early Peter Sellers.  I'm a fan of Tom Lehrer and some Stan Freberg, too, but I grew up on them, so I'm prejudiced.

I agree! Bob and Ray will never get old to me.

Though he's not a comedian proper, both volumes of Haran Ellison's On The Road With... are freaking hilarious. I am also partial to Neil Hamburgers 50 States, 50 Laughs.
