I always liked Anthony Jeselnik though I've read he's a bit of a bitch in real life. His stand up is hilarious though if you're into inappropriateness for the sake of it.
 
The carjacking scene in Nothing To Lose is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
 
Homey don't play dat!
By the way, this show was a career starter for Jim Carrey, Drew Carrie, Jennifer Lopez and the Wayan brothers.
 
I think the time is right for a studio to aggressively market a politically incorrect comedy based purely on being offensive to everyone. Kind of like a good version of the Underground Comedy Movie.
 
The late and great Don Rickles.


As sharp as some of his jokes were, he was incredibly kind and humble when he wasn't on-stage. He was also the voice of Mr. Potato Head and I can't look at him without hearing him say "ya wanna spit on the Jew?"
 
Most of the "offensive" comics of yesteryear either sold out massively, or died before they could. (Carlin immediately springs to mind.)
