1	Class Clown (1972) more music like this by George Carlin Comedian George Carlin's definitive monologue was delivered on 1972's Class Clown album in the form of "Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television." While the majority of routines on Class Clown dealt with Carlin's self examination surrounding his Irish Catholic upbringing, he saved his controversial tour de force as the album's grand ... see all copies from $6.84! new only from $9.20!
2	Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Xmas Novelty CD (1989) more music like this by Various Artists If you like your Christmas tidings with a dollop of good humor, then this batch of holiday tunes is right up your alley. The lineup ranges from cute and innocuous (the Chipmunks, the Singing Dogs, and Spike Jones) to satirical (Stan Freberg and Allan Sherman) and just plain weird (Elmo and Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and Tom ... see all copies from $12.27! new only from $12.27!
3	That Was the Year That Was (1965) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer's work always had a biting, satirical edge to it, but never was this more obvious than on this album, a collection of songs regarding events of the year 1965. Very little was sacred from Lehrer's sharp wit, from racism to the Catholic Church, and, while much of his subject matter has become outdated, his shrewd comic talents are beyond ... see all copies from $4.91! new only from $10.00!
4	A Place for My Stuff! (1981) more music like this by George Carlin After taking some time off to get his life together, George Carlin came back with A Place for My Stuff!, a combination of live material and some that had been recorded in the studio (fake announcements, commercials, and interviews). The live standup bits are among the best he's done, though there is a definite nasty edge to some of it (notably the ... see all copies from $6.89! new only from $9.20!
5	Greatest Hits [RCA] (1999) more music like this by Spike Jones There have been many compilations of Spike Jones' music, but few have been better than RCA's 1999 collection, Greatest Hits. Over the course of 20 tracks, all of Jones' best-known songs are presented in their best-known versions, including "Leave the Dishes in the Sink, Ma," "My Old Flame," "Der Fuehrer's Face," "The Sheik of Araby, "William Tell ... see all copies from $5.44! new only from $11.06!
6	The Little David Years: 1971-1977 (1999) more music like this by George Carlin During the early '70s, few comedians were as influential, controversial, or funny as George Carlin. Picking up where Lenny Bruce left off, Carlin became the counterculture comedian, vigorously pushing the limits of good taste while making pointed political and social commentaries. He did this in concert, but also did it on wax -- for the label ... see all copies from $38.83! new only from $68.66!
7	Songs & More Songs by Tom Lehrer (1997) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer recorded rather sporadically starting in the 1950s then abruptly retired in the mid-'60s from his unique solo musical comedy act. He's a competent pianist with a voice that is perfect for his original material. This compilation combines both of his records that were originally pressed and sold privately on the Lehrer label, which he ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $9.55!
8	Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer (1959) more music like this by Tom Lehrer On Tom Lehrer's second studio album, he got a little more daring and biting, particularly on "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," "The Masochism Tango," and "We Will All Go Together When We Go." Six years, after all, had elapsed since his 1953 debut, and social mores had loosened, if only a little. There's also one of his most well-known pieces, "It ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.71!
9	Jammin' in New York (1992) more music like this by George Carlin An older, angrier George Carlin riffs on the sexuality of Operation Desert Storm, the inanity of airline announcements, sporting solutions for the nation's homeless, and the likely future of the planet in yet another virtuoso comedy performance first televised as an HBO special. Whatever his topic (or should that be target?), Carlin's jokes hinge ... see all copies from $4.17! new only from $5.00!
10	Springtime for Liberals (2007) more music like this by Capitol Steps With the Democrats' landslide win of both the Senate and the House in the 2006 elections, it was only natural that it would be a prominent theme for the next Capitol Steps album. Mel Brooks' "Springtime for Hitler" (from The Producers) provides a perfect launching pad for the amusing "Springtime for Liberals" to introduce the complete, gloating ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $13.20!
11 view cover	The Remains of Tom Lehrer (2000) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Rhino's three-disc box set The Remains of Tom Lehrer presents 75 tracks from the satirist's four decade career. The first disc concentrates on Lehrer's studio output, including pieces from his 1953 debut Songs by Tom Lehrer and his 1959 album More of Tom Lehrer, as well as a 1996 version of "I Got It from Agnes" and "That's Mathematics," a ... see all copies from $34.99! new only from $43.75!
12 view cover	The Anthology: 1968-1992 (2002) more music like this by Richard Pryor Rhino's 2002 release The Anthology: 1968-1992 is essentially the highlights from their seminal 2000 box set, And It's Deep Too!, which contained the complete recordings (more or less) of Richard Pryor, the greatest comedian of his time and one of the great cultural forces of the 20th century. Since this is a clear case of recycling, it could be ... see all copies from $13.39! new only from $17.24!
13 view cover	FM & AM (1972) more music like this by George Carlin While FM & AM was reissued on compact disc as part of the George Carlin box set The Little David Years 1971-1977, it's important to have this early groundbreaking release available again, individually, at an affordable price. FM & AM found Carlin officially poking fun at, while incorporating, his early material performed in the lounges of America ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
14 view cover	Toledo Window Box (1974) more music like this by George Carlin The cover on this one tells you pretty much all you need to know about the dominant subject material here -- drugs. The beginning of the album dwells fairly directly on the subject (you'll never look at the Seven Dwarves the same way again), but much of the rest of the album's material draws heavily from stoner culture; it's hard to imagine ... see all copies from $6.80! new only from $9.20!
15 view cover	...And It's Deep, Too!: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992) (2000) more music like this by Richard Pryor Although some might give the nod to Andy Kaufman, Richard Pryor was arguably the most important, influential, and groundbreaking standup comic in America during the latter half of the '70s. Pryor's brilliantly perceptive, confrontational dissections of racial injustice paved the way for countless African-American comedians to tackle similar ... see all copies from $53.25! new only from $97.32!
16 view cover	The First Complete Family (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.10! new only from $17.10!
17 view cover	Let the Buyer Beware (2004) more music like this by Lenny Bruce Let the Buyer Beware is an extraordinary six-disc CD box set packed with unreleased performances, interviews, phone conversations, and various other private recordings of Lenny Bruce. The project was lovingly compiled by Lenny's daughter Kitty and music producer Hal Willner with assistance from the estate of the late Marvin Worth, who produced ... see all copies from $25.70! new only from $25.70!
18 view cover	Let's Get Small (1977) more music like this by Steve Martin Before becoming a Hollywood A-list actor, Steve Martin first made a name for himself as a writer for a number of successful stateside television variety shows. His résumé included credits on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Glen Campbell Hour, and -- during a brief stint living in Canada -- the influential Half the George Kirby Comedy Hour. ... see all copies from $2.38! new only from $4.96!
19 view cover	Presents the United States of America, Vols. 1-2 (1996) more music like this by Stan Freberg Even though it took Stan Freberg three-and-a-half decades, he successfully updated the irreverent and historically challenged masterpiece Presents the United States of America, Vol. 1: The Early Years (1961). With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Freberg and his all-star company take on some of the greatest tales and incidents from the annals of U ... see all copies from $6.20! new only from $33.62!
20 view cover	Unrepeatable (2003) more music like this by Eddie Izzard Originally available on CD in Eddie Izzard's native U.K. in 1995 but not released in the U.S. until Anti-Records released the comedian's back catalog in 2004, Unrepeatable is one of Izzard's more traditional sets of material. In fact, the opening ten-minute riff on the travails of laundry day, "Are You Happy With Your Wash?," might as well be by a ... see all copies from $7.14! new only from $7.14!
21 view cover	Definite Article (2003) more music like this by Eddie Izzard Briefly available on CD upon its 1996 release but not widely distributed until Anti Records reissued all of Eddie Izzard's early albums in 2004, Definite Article is the second of Izzard's mid-'90s run of stand-up showcases. A huge creative leap forward from 1994's much more conventional Unrepeatable, Definite Article was recorded in December 1995 ... see all copies from $5.78! new only from $10.70!
22 view cover	Carnegie Hall Concert (1961) more music like this by Lenny Bruce Lenny Bruce's legendary Carnegie Hall concert from 1961 was originally released as a 40-minute album in the '60s and was replaced in the '70s by a complete triple-LP set. In 1995, it was released on two CDs. In any format, the concert demonstrates what an intelligent and viciously funny talent Bruce was. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.14! new only from $20.73!
23 view cover	Flying Saucer Tour, Vol. 1 (2002) more music like this by Bill Hicks If to be great is to be misunderstood, then Bill Hicks certainly must have had plenty of evenings such as the one documented on Flying Saucer Tour, Vol. 1 during his too-brief life. With track titles such as "Worst Audience Ever" and "Vs. the Audience" offering a hint of the material contained on this album, Hicks finds himself facing a Pittsburgh ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $10.70!
24 view cover	Bargainville (1994) more music like this by Moxy Früvous On the face of it, Bargainville is one of those records that explains to much of the rest of the world (without even trying) that Canada's music scene is somehow terminally in major need of help. Trying to blend the Kingston Trio's then three-decades-old sly folk revival humor with the mingled joy and seriousness of the Housemartins -- and then ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $12.89!
25 view cover	Oedipus Tex & Other Choral Calamities (1990) more music like this by P.D.Q. Bach see all copies from $5.24! new only from $7.84!
