The acronym for this contest is F-CAT. "Cutest Animal Gif" won the poll. I chose this one instead... because F-CAT. (Yes, I know it's F-CoAT if you get technical but "Warmest Coat Ever" didn't make the poll).

If you have a soul, you love comedy. Now, not all comedy is created equal. Some are titans of the industry, household names that are sure to get at least someone in your family on the floor with laughter every time. Others, not so much. Whether they don't have good stage presence, their jokes get stale fast, or whatever reason you can find, they just don't hit that funny bone. Think 2006 Dane Cook versus... Dane Cook the following week and onward. In this contest, we'll put our opinions to the test, and find out which stand up superstar gets the "Golden Whoopee Cushion" award. Or a shitty sketch TV comedy. Whichever they prefer.

NOMINATION RULES:

-Each user may nominate 3 stand up comedians of their choosing (no alts, must have been a stand up comedian at at least 1 point in their career)
-The top... well whatever good cutoff number would make a good bracket, comedians nominated will be entered into the contest
-The voting will be done by STAND UP PERFORMANCES ONLY, no acting careers/music careers/etc
-Nominations should last about a day or 2, probably will end them on Saturday at the latest
-If you'd like (it's not required), add in a video of your favorite special/joke of theirs or give the name of their best one on Netflix if any, could be a great way to have people find some new comedians to check out!

Alright, nominate away! This should be fun, I love stand up.

I don't know how much stand up Colbert has done. Also, they'd be judged by stand up only, so no Late Show or Eric Andre Show.

I wish I would've done a better job specifying stand up comedian in the title, I realize now the word "comedian" is very ambiguous.

I've already nominated, but does their work have to be in stand-up? What about improv or sketch comedy? The guys from Whose Line Is It definitely deserve some credit.

Honestly I'm willing to hear other's opinions on this before I make a decision. I originally said stand-up only, but I do see value in improv as well, and maybe a little less in sketch. In the case of sketch, it could be an unfair comparison of having a full sketch vs. the "person on stage" effect of stand-up. Improv may also fall into that category, which is why I'm hesitant to include it, but I'd like to hear what other people think.

I would like to see it be kept to people who performed live and alone on-stage. I love improv and think there are some legends worth recognition...but unless there's one-man improv done that Wayne Brady ain't marketed well enough, I'm not sure it fits into this contest.

Funniest people-contest, yes...funniest comedian, I think you began on the right track for this.

Yeah I agree with this, so for this contest, yes it's only stand-up. I'd love to see one for overall funny one day, sure, but this contest is going to be just for stand-up. I feel like it's the most fair way to go about it.

Nominations will likely close tonight depending on how many there are.
