First I want to say I care about 3 things --- comedy, movies, music.
I've seen hundreds of stand-up on TV, internet, and many live.... I don't want this just for me, so if everyone who wants to find more, list down your favorites, and maybe someone has good recommendations based on what you type?
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

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.

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
