kjpepperWhat comedian makes you pee your pants laughing?
I don't know about pee my pants or anything, but there is always something about the double whammy of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in the evenings that always gets me. Not so much since the strike.
As for stand-up... Most wring a chuckle out of me, but very early Margaret Cho always gets me, especially the routines about her mother. Early Ellen Degeneres is wonderful wonderful stuff. In addition, I would fling my panties at both Eddie Izzard and Bill Engvall. Eddie Izzard because his routines are fabulous (especially when he lapses into French for no apparent reason) and well, Bill Engvall... Not even just "heeeeeeeeeres your sign," but there's the routine he does about the ill fated parasailing attempt he made under the influence of Vicodin and a cocktail that's pretty much all facial expression that very nearly does have the above effect, no matter how many times I've seen it. You know who else is shockingly good at standup? Robin Williams. There was this HBO special a few years ago he did where I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe, especially when he got into the history of golf.
There are other ones I like a lot... Lewis Black, early Eddie Murphy, Caroline Rhea, the late Sam Kinison... there's a list...
