The best comedy works because it is intuitively true and engaging.
I find myself most enjoying the comedy that points out problems in society that would often be too taboo to talk about if not done in a humorous manner. I'd say that Lewis Black, Lewis C.K., and Jon Stewart all exemplify this quality.
George Carlin was a master at this as well. I'm not a huge fan of Bill Maher, but some of his stuff would qualify too.
Correction... "the" master.
