What actually makes something funny? Are comedians funny because they make you laugh or because they get off on their own humor? Does everyone have to be in on the laugh? Does anyone? Can something be funny while simultaneously offending you, depressing you, or making you think? Who's to say really? Well, me for one. Here's my list of the best unconventional and/or outsider comedians. List includes stand-up comics, actors, writers/poets, directors, tv/radio personalities, youtubers, etc. Feel free to add you own.
