Someone whose standup comedy is so far above the competition that mere mortal comparisons feel inadequate. A standup god doesn't just get laughs — they reconstruct how an audience thinks about a topic, make the uncomfortable feel inevitable, and somehow walk off stage having said nothing wrong. The title is invoked for the all-time greats (Carlin, Pryor, Chappelle debates incoming) but also used hyperbolically whenever a friend's open-mic set genuinely surprises people. The bar is perceived mastery, not just consistency.
I don't care what anyone says — Carlin is a standup god and the set he did in '96 proves it.
