I do. I like many different kinds of comedy styles too.
Especially the sarcastic approach or satire.

Right now I think my favourite comedian is Ricky Gervais. In my whole life I haven't seen or heard of any comedian with a style like his. His show "The Office" is like an instant classic. They only did two seasons plus a finale special. The American version is doing well from what I understand. I haven't been watching it.

Ricky Gervais and his writing partner Stephen Merchant also do a podcast which is completely hilarious. I recommend you check that out too.
Now I'm patiently awaiting the release of Ricky and Stephen's new show "Extras" on DVD. It's been playing on BBC2 in England for a couple years now.

Who are your favourite comedians?

Ricky Gervais is great! He is British humor but not. He doesn't have a humor specific to Britan even though he's British. That sounds weird I know.

I also like the Borat style too. That movie was so funny. :)

Well the US version of The Office is a bigger hit than anyone had imagined.
I was surprised by it too.
