Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard or Bill Bailey - not so much tellers of jokes more anecdotal/observational/surreal and masters of the rambling ad lib

for a really oddball type of comedy, it has to be Heywood Banks. Larry the Cable Guy, Rodney Carrington, and John Fox are equally as funny but more conventional. who doesn't love the Fred song by Carrington? and then there's Bob Zany, a guy whose jokes you may not grasp until 4 days later

Best modern standup comics in my opinion: George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Steven Wright, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Denis Leary, D.L. Hughley, Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, Richard Lewis, Drew Carey, Brett Butler, Louie Anderson.
From earlier times, I'd have to agree with Red Skelton, and Jack Benny. Also Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Freddie Prinze, Dick Gregory, Johnathan Winters, Phyllis Diller, Don Rickles, and Flip Wilson.
