    I'm shocked that Jerry Seinfeld hasn't been mentioned. Probably one of the funniest guys of all time.

    And F1 Master, Chappelle stand up "Killing Them Softly" is hilarious. Some of the best stuff ever.

    I meant that he didn't spend money he could have on yet another Mercedes and instead bought a Hemi-powered Coronet.
    So, regarding that, yes good taste!

    Yes, that truely is a classic.

    Ahh rush him! And he shot one off! But I dodged that sh*t like the Matrix.


    @Scion, I agree. Titus is hilarious as well. He doesn't get the kind of attention from Comedy Central he should though recently, they've been playing 2 of his stand ups.


    Jim Gaffigan though? True, he's funnier than Mencia's original jokes, but not by that much. His involvement during his stand ups are just kind of dull which is something most comedians know now to do.

    @F1: Chappelle is probably one of the greatest...his stand up is amazing. I hadn't laughed so hard....ever probably.

    No, he's really funny. Also had a sitcom, probably one of the best sitcoms ever, called "Seinfeld". Also one of the biggest Porsche collectors ever, has (IIRC) the very first and very last 911's (air cooled) among others. I'll try and find a full listing. But for now, go to the store, and buy the full Seinfeld series, begin watching.

    From Wikipedia:
    Car collection

    Seinfeld is an avid automobile enthusiast and collector, and is rumored to own one of the largest Porsche collections in the world. He rented out an entire hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California for an extended period of time during the 1990s for storage of some of the vehicles in the collection; after his return to New York he was involved in an extended dispute with several neighbors over the proposed building of a massive $1.4 million multistory garage to contain the cars.

    A current tally puts Seinfeld at 47 Porsches. Reporter Paul Bannister reports that Seinfeld’s collection includes 911s from various years, 10 Boxsters each painted a different color, and the famous (some would say infamous) 1955 550 Spyder, the same model and pearl-grey color that actor James Dean was driving when he crashed and died in September 1955 near Cholame, California[citation needed]. The centerpiece is a $700,000 Porsche 959, one of only 200 ever built. To Seinfeld's initial despair, he was not allowed to drive it as U.S. emission and crash tests were never performed because Porsche refused to donate four 959s for destruction tests (rendering the car "not street legal"). Seinfeld imported the car "for exhibition purposes", which stipulates the car may never set rubber on American roads (Paul Bannister, The Comedians, p.74-75). The car was made street legal in 2003 or 2004.

    In several episodes of his sitcom he drives a Saab 900 (NG) convertible, but a Porsche themed painting (depicting a 904 GTS race car competing in the 1964 Targa Florio race in Italy) is visible on a wall in his apartment as well as a Porsche racing poster featuring a 550 spyder depicting the 1958 Targa Florio. In addition, an issue of Excellence magazine, a Porsche-centered publication, is featured prominently on an outdoor magazine rack in one episode, and on at least one occasion Seinfeld is seen reading an issue of Road and Track magazine from circa 1990 with a cover article on the Porsche 964. He also wrote an article for February 2004 issue of Automobile Magazine, reviewing the Porsche Carrera GT. For the story Seinfeld was awarded Road Test - Silver at the 2004 International Automotive Media Awards.
