Comedy Central Records had a great year in 2011. But of course I think that; I get paid to. I'd say 1911 was a great year for Comedy Central Records if I thought there was a shiny nickel in it for me. On the other hand, the esteemed crew of The Onion AV Club doesn't rely on Comedy Central for food and shelter, and they still named a whopping seven Comedy Central Records releases to their list of The Best Comedy Albums of 2011.

You can read the full list here, which also includes three excellent non-Comedy Central albums. But first, why not sample each of the seven albums for yourself?
