Now his show makes more sense. He made his fake family seem so wholesome to hide the fact that he was a creep. I bet he had an old van and everything.

Well, as you know, there's more to a standup routine than humor -- odd as it sounds -- there's warmth, love, insightfulness, wisdom, just to name a few.
When I mention cosby here, i'm just talking standup. His routines would be full of family and neighborhood stories we can identify & commiserate with, delivered with warmth & insight. Not always the funniest stuff, but very enjoyable.
I watched his 80's sitcom; it was alright. I liked Cosby's "kids say the darndest things" better.

I think Tosh is alright but he relies to much on slagging off other people.
And his insults aren't always that creative.
I'm surprised no one else mentioned Doug Stanhope.
