Who is the funniest man alive?

[nasty]

I got talking with SM last night about "Man On The Moon," and thought about Andy Kaufman. The guy was a GENIOUS!!!!!!! GREAT movie, too.

 

[YoungGun69]

Rodney Dangerfield.

 

[OUTSIDER]

Eric Morecamb RIP.

 

[nasty]

He's pretty funny. Although, I remember him on Leno, and he was talking about his penis. At his age, I don't wanna hear about it. I found it more disgusting, then anything else.

 

[Handy-Andy]

Norman Wisdom

 

[OUTSIDER]

Norman Wisdom

And for some reason he's a god to the Albanian's (sp)

 

[Dillinger]

Well - I have to think about that one. Depends what you mean about alive... ie, still performing?

Because, in his time, no one could hold a candle to Richard Pryor.

 

[OUTSIDER]

Billy Connoly.

 

[Debbie]

Robin Williams



Jim Carrey


Billy Connelly



David Strassman

Robin Williams

 

[Gilly Bean]

I love Robin Williams, Chris Rock's early stuff, and Bobcat umm... the weird guy from the Police Academy flicks, with the screechy voice. Can't spell his last name.

 

[Problem Child]

Agreed.

No doubt.

I wouldn't call him the funniest man alive, but I like Jon Stewart.

Well, I said Andy Kaufmaan, and he's dead. So...

 

[Mensa]

Big mistake

Because, in his time, no one could hold a candle to Richard Pryor.

Richard did himself, the result was a flaming mess, and hospital time!

 

[Dillinger]

That was well put - funny and sad.

(BTW Nasty - I think Andy Kaufman was pretty damn funny too.)

 

[HARDKOREBJ]

i would say...

richard pryor or bill cosby

 

[nasty]

I LOVE his Carnegie Hall performance. When he turns on that recorder, and he's still reading. OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!

 

[xlc67]

I'd have to go with George Carlin...although I don't always agree with his politics, his humor is intellectual and silly at the same time. He can reach people on different levels...

Has anyone heard Brian Regan...he makes me roll on the floor, but I rarely see him anywhere

 

[HARDKOREBJ]

maybe...

chevy chase
steve martin
eddie murphy
rowan atkinson
benny hill
jerry lewis
bob saget
dave thomas
rick moranis
martin short
robin williams
tommy chong
jon lovits
adam sandler
chris tucker
david spade

 

[xlc67]

Bob Saget??

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

John Cleese.

Laurel, you can lock the thread now.

Bob Saget is an ANTICHRIST. Was it not written in the Bible, "And yea, he shall bring upon the world the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and they shall be John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and those fucking Olsen twins. And much suffering and woe will be left in their passing"

Rowan Atkinson is hilarious, especially in the classic "Black Adder" shows, which are among my favorite shows ever. George Carlin is a master, tho he's gotten a bit too shrill and political for me lately.

If you have HBO be sure to catch Eddie Izzard the next time his show is run (it won an Emmy for best concert performance). He's a transvestite comedian--he appears onstange in makeup and a smashing ensemble with these platform shoes that a female friend of mine just LOVED--and he's terrific. He dresses like a woman, but he's not gay, he likes girls. He said that basically he's a male tomboy. His humor doesn't actually revolve around his choice of wardrobe, he riffs on all sorts of things, and he's terrific. Check him out if you get the chance.
