Not sure whether this should be here, or in the podcasts thread. Mods, please feel free to move.
I've been listening to the Rule of Three podcasts for a while now, where 2 comedy writers talk to a comedian about something that influenced them.
One of the latest episodes was the best so far - Marcus Brigstock on Gonzo from The Muppets. Really funny and heartwarming.
Link for that episode is here
Also worth going out of your way to listening to was Danielle Ward on Bottom, David Quantick on Time Bandits, Ed Morrish on Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy (Radio Series), and Charlie Brooker on Airplane!

Carlin's "The Seven Words You Must Never Use on Television" is arguably the funniest thing I've ever heard.

For some reason haven't watch much stand-up for years.
But the best for me has to Robin Williams. His "Live at the Met" is a must watch.

@Bones That was Sam Hyde before he his show got cancelled. He was referencing the position of extreme zionists like Sheldon Adelson who want to nuke Iran just on principal.
In a panel discussion at Yeshiva University on October 22, 2013, Adelson said that the United States must get tougher about Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program. Controversy arose when he said: "You pick up your cell phone and you call somewhere in Nebraska and you say 'OK, let it go' and so there's an atomic weapon goes over, ballistic missiles in the middle of the desert that doesn't hurt a soul, maybe a couple of rattlesnakes and scorpions or whatever".
