Definitely missing Elephant in the Room and at least one Stanhope. Don't even get me started about Roseanne or Garafalo being included. Spoiler alert: Norton did not make the list.
Roseanne might be awful to listen to now, but her show was decent for its time and almost every female comedian has ripped her off. Although personally if I have to pick a female comedian id go with Joan Rivers. She's just vicious and didn't give two fucks about PC culture.
I liked Don't Start With Me and there's one that's titled Live From London or something. Fair warning: you will not see any "lol I'm such a whore who can't find a husband" humor. She is also skinny.
daaNNe cOok issS nuuMMMbeerr oonNeeE. In all seriousness the list is really bad. I feel like they only threw Pryor at number one because they felt they had to. Louie's ranking is pretty fair too.
Garafolo and Bamford should have been replaced with two more specials from Carlin. Just choosing one special from each comic makes this list irrelevant.

I was really surprised that Joan wasn't on there. Easily the best female comic ever.

She was great live but she never had a good special that I ever saw. Honestly, I don't even remember her having one. Just that documentary.

If she had one then I admit I am wrong. I was totally blown away by her live show. She was hilarious.
He shouldn't be on this list but I also saw Bob Newhart last year and he was great as well.

I mean I'm not going to fault you if you don't find the specials funny haha but she is the de facto GOAT of women comics.

Are you reading what I said? I said I saw her live and she was awesome but I wasn't aware she had any live shows on HBO/Showtime/Netflix whatever.
1 iWhereSchortSchorts 2016-04-12
No, I was just ignoring you to talk to myself but there is at least one on Netflix.

20) Eddie Izzard, 19) Birbiglia, 18) Whoopi....
Whoever made this list is surely fucking butts & bumping weiners with the likes of 2U.
I stopped scrolling down after Whoopi -- the rest is just going to be infuriating....im sure billy fucking crystal appears in near top 10.

Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams? What the fuck is this shit?

If you've never seen it the Whoopi special is actually pretty great. Despite everything she's done since.

Bramford should not be on there. I get the point of what she was trying to do but it doesn't belong on this list IMO.

Who gives a turkey? These lists always blow dick.

Delirious not being number 1 makes it irrelevant. Not to mention any fucking list with Birbiglia and fucking Paula Poundstone is shit.
