I like Mitch Hedberg and Ron White...what else should I get? Preferably something available via Zunepass.

That's exactly what I was going to post. Some others:

George Carlin
Eddie Izzard
Demetri Martin
Daniel Tosh
David Chappelle
Steven Wright
Lewis Black
Chris Rock
Jerry Seinfeld
Richard Pryor
Louis CK
Brian Posehn

Fuck it, there's tons. Just Google "Top 100 comedians," read a few of the lists, and check out the names that seem to come up on every one.

Demetri Martin, Eddie Izzard, and Patton Oswalt! Patton was on the most recent "Comedy and Everything Else" podcast.

BBQsauce I came in here to reccomend Ron White, I really don't like Dane Cook, but Isolated Incident is worth watching. Waiting and Still Waiting are funny ass movies. I'm a comedy guru, my TV is on comedy central 95% of the time.

And Chris Rock Tussin!

100% Carlos Mencia

If you want something a little more edgy, try Michael Richards @ the laugh factory.

Brian Regan (never swears but you have to *watch* him to get it)
Megan Maloney (hilarious woman comic, very rare)
Daniel Tosh (he has the ability to make someone laugh just by not doing anything)
Mike Birbiglia (saw him live, he is hysterical)
Nick Swardson (nick is all around just...unspeakably good)
Ryan Stout (saw him in person, he does the late night E! things for Tila Tequila and shit, he's funny on stage)
Jeff Dunam (I seriously can't spell today)
The Amazing Jonathan (a "magician" that will make your sides hurt)
Louis CK (I cry whenever I watch his standup it's so funny)
Jim Gaffigan (he is a slow-to-the-punchline comic, but it's perfect if you like that)
Dave Chappelle (always hilarious)
Bo Burhnam (youtube sensation, listen to "My Whole Family" and "I'm Bo Yo"


People who AREN'T funny and should die a slow, suffering comedic death:

Dane Cook
Dane Cook
Dane Cook
Dane Cook

I'm adding his name more than once for added effect.

OMG YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT.

Carlos Mencia isn't even MEXICAN! (Edit: All his jokes are about being Mexican) He steals ALL of his material and he sucks. It's like Dane Cook--watch Louis CK first, all his old stuff, and then watch Dane Cook's stuff--it's THE SAME THING. Only Dane Cook can't do it right, it's shameful and embarrassing to hear.
