I'll even rate mine in order

1. Mort Sahl
2. Bill Hicks
3. George Carlin
4. Louis CK
5. Bill Burr
6. Dick Gregory
7. Doug Stanhope
8. Mitch Hedberg
9. Dave Chappelle
10. Dov Davidoff
I'd add Sean Rouse and Andy Andrist to that list

The funniest stand up specials I've ever seen are: 
Bill Burr "I'm Sorry You Feel That Way"
Ron White "They Call Me Tater Salad" and "You Can't Fix Stupid"
Ryan Hamilton "Happy Face"
Eddie Izzard "Dress to Kill"

You can't miss with:
George Carlin
Bill Burr
Trevor Noah 
Ricky Gervais
John Mulaney
Kathleen Madigan

If you don't mind explicit sexual language:
Eddie Murphy "Delirious" and "Raw"
Margaret Cho
Iliza Shlesinger
Chris Rock

Also consistently good:
Katharine Ryan
Jim Gaffigan
Tig Notaro
Wanda Sykes
Mike Birbiglia
Bo burnham
Dmitri Martin
Drew Fisher

Comedy is weird for me. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with it. Even most comedians I find funny I also dislike in many ways. And yet I've been obsessed with it for the past few months. 

Emo Philips, Mitch Hedberg, Kumail Nanjiani, Kevin Nealon, and Stephen Wright are all ones I can recommend in relatively good faith, though.
