[JohnL]

Richard Pryor. Hands down.

[TexAg77]

Red Skelton, bar none. You don't have to be raunchy to be funny!

[WesTxAg]

man, could we please put another actor who's passed his peak up there? wouldn't wanna make a full poll of guys still considered to be making comedies:bored:

[legelegel]

Red Skelton, bar none. You don't have to be raunchy to be funny!

:rep: There is another, Jack Benny. Neither man's humor was ever at the expense of another human being's dignity.

and yet the "great" Martin Lawrence is on there:bored:

[Vlyrock]

At least he tried by starting a thread... :sad:

[WesTxAg]

sorry, gloves, i know ya tried...but damn....


i mean, im a HUGE Jamie Foxx fan, but when did his comedy career take off? Moesha? The Jamie Foxx Show?

Martin Lawrence? Chris Tucker!?! I'm just gonna shake my head and let this one go...:sad:

jamie foxx has his own show... hes hilarous and has proven that many, many times. (In living Color, numerous films and stand up)

Jim Carey? are you kidding ME? He has more 100 million dollar films (Comedies) than anyone

Martin Lawerence is hilarous too and deserves to be on the list. He had his own show which was rated #1 at one time. Did MANY...MANY stand ups. Dont get me started on his career on the big screens too.

[WesTxAg]

haha...oh snap...i just realized...when I saw Jim Carey, i thought Drew Carey:laugh:

my bad, but I stand by everything else I just posted...

Jamie Foxx=better actor than comedian, Marin Lawrence=nothing more than a scratchy voice, somewhat funny

when making a poll about the funniest comedians and actors of all time, go with guys that are actually on a Jim Carey level, that's all. I've said my peace, you disagree, I'll leave what I've said to stand on its own...my bad about the Jim Carey bit

Dane Cook
Nick Swardson
Mitch Hedberg (RIP)

:rep: for Mitch Hedberg...I have one of his CDs...& I laugh my ass off every time I hear it, even though I know the punchline.

[Dustin00whoop]

Dane Cook sucks! Chappelle is funny enough to get away with the stuff he gets away with, without offending a whole lot of people! But he isn't really stand up comedy funny! His writing makes what he does funny when put to a skit!

Farrell's mannerisms crack me up! He makes me laugh without ever saying a word. John Heder is the same way (just watched School for Scoundrels).

[BAGGIO]

yall should check out stephen lynch, guy is genious. i wrote him on myspace in iraq and he sent 100 copies of his newest cd. and hes an actor, did the broadway version of the wedding singer.

[blackgloves]

But he isn't really stand up comedy funny! His writing makes what he does funny when put to a skit!



Dude the last time I saw Dave on stage doing one of his many stand ups, I had a hard time not laughing. It was great.

(he talked about going through the ghetto and a baby trying to sell him drugs) :laugh:

[Mezentius]

John Cleese

[whitelightnin_23]

Cool thread blackgloves...hard to narrow it down to just one...

Bill Cosby is a good one too...
Abbott/Costello (more of an act)

[Conan]

I chose other. Chris Farley is my favorite. I was just talking to 2 of my residents about my 2 favorite comedies: Tommy Boy and Christmas Vacation. Chris Farley made Tommy Boy.

I normally don't like the comedians who tell cultural or racial jokes for the most part. Dave Chep was really funny with some of his skits, but if it wasn't hillarious it was terrible. 75% were not funny to me. Although some of his acts were great

[Loftin]

Toss up between Dave Chapelle and Will Ferrell. I'll give it to Ferrell due to the complete lameness that "Dave Chapelle's Block Party" was.

[Dustin00whoop]

TAKE COVER!!!!! Loftin & I agree!

On a side note, I just saw a horse fly by my window!

Surprised no Chris Rock in your poll

Probably not funny to most, but I'm hispanic so

George Lopez
Carlos Mancia (sp?)....this dude does an irish inpersonation that if funny!!!

I have to pay more attention to RawDog on Sirius, I've heard some funny ones just don't pay attention to their names. Mitch was funny, I'll give you all that.

[Vlyrock]

someone post the Joe Rogan v. Carlos (Ned) Mencia video...
Mencia is a fraud...but a great presenter of other people's material...(he should join a corporation)

vly's right...he was a drug addict & died of a cocaine/heroin overdose...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Hedberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Hedberg)

"multiple drug toxicity," including cocaine and heroin, was the official cause of death.

He also had a heart defect as a child. He often joked about doing drugs and even dying from it so I don't feel too bad for the guy. He was hilarious though. Was about to do his first HBO special when he died.

[aggie1997]

Ron White.

[legelegel]

Did you notice in the first video that his right hand shook the entire time? In the second video he held the mic in his right hand again, but left it on the stand. Do you think the Letterman video preceded the other in time?

Do you think he was told about this shaking problem?

his drug problem was well documented & realized by many...I think he tried rehab...

sad thing is...it was such a part of his act...that I'm sure it was hard to give up, in fear that he would lose his "edge"...

manufactured home repo man:

Hi...could you go cut your grass, then look that way for 30 minutes...

He was funny and I believe that most of his humor was not mean or profane.

[Dustin00whoop]

Damn, Vly....Hedberg was pretty funny. Can't believe I never heard of the guy before now. Thanks for the enlightenment.

[MarylandAG]

Buy or download (if that is even possible) one of his CD's Pinche, the dude was pretty funny. Makes road trips shorter.:)

awesome trip!

[Vlyrock]

I'll take rep for enlightening you...the guy is hilarious.

[whitelightnin_23]

Had to go with Eddie Murphy. "Eddie Murphy Raw" and SNL's Best of Eddie Murphy are two of the funniest movies you will ever see.

[whitelightnin_23]

Demetri Martin is also pretty hilarious!

Can't post any of his youtube stuff while @ work, but check him out if you get a chance...

A lot of one-liners and some abstract comedy...:gig:
