Funniest Comedians of all time

[CanDB]

So many comedians, so many different types of humor.

Steve Martin gets a nod, Rodney Dangerfield too.

What about Bob Hope, George Burns, and other classics?

Jim Gaffigan - like PA said already - is my current favorite.

Humor is so variable it's hard to narrow down to "the best" if you ask me.

Here's a list of 100. Some incredible talents on there.

I agree....you need to remember the great comedians from the past. It's all relative, they were the funniest of their era - people like Bob Hope for example. I won't mention others from "back then", but they were so funny.....when I was a youngin.

I do think Richard Pryor was a great comedian. He might be my favourite. And yes, I liked Steve Martin when he was "on". Robin Williams can be hilarious. And Hedberg was very funny for the short time I got to know him.

Some people make me laugh very easily. Not many, but some. If for example they are selecting MCs for The Academy Awards, I am still partial to Martin or Billy Crystal. They know how to make Hollywood laughable.....and they definitely make me laugh.
