Well, where do you think comics get their material? So many comics "see" the comedy of every day life...making jokes about the
silly things people do.

Jerry Seinfeld, among many other comics, do the same thing.

The Hippy-Dippy Weatherman.

"Tonight's forecast: dark. It's going to be really dark around midnight, turning to scattered light early in the morning. It's 70 degrees at the airport, which is really stupid, 'cause I don't know anybody who lives at the airport."

I can remember smuggling his records (vinyl albums) into friend's houses so we could listen to them, and try to not laugh too loudly.

He's a master of comedy.

I've read some of his books. I like his dark sense of humor.

Gorge Carlin is pretty good not my absolute favorite but in my top comedians section, As for Lenny Bruce, He was a freakin genius incidentally Gorge Carlin was arrested with Lenny Bruce on his obscenity arrest for not having an ID stating "I Don't Believe in IDs." when asked for one.

2.Comedy=BS detection+delivery

A great clip - caution, strong language, NSFW (as if I had to tell you)
