Carlin could get you with his voice, or he could not say a word and get you with his eyes and contorting the shape of his mouth.

With that said, and I'm not sure if it's because I've pretty much seen all of his specials, sometimes his bits do seem to give me a sense of deja vu. He's always playing the dumb fat white guy card in his stand ups. Usually in the beginning.
Gaffigan would be near the top of my list until he got too political.

I have seen Eddie do standup, live, several times when I was younger. Some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen.

They even made a movie of him doing standup. It was called "Eddie Murphy, Raw". You should check it out sometime.

Winters was a really funny guy. I'm going to look for that clip now.
