Funniest Comedian Ever?

[AustinBat]

Maybe not the best, but you gotta mention Jonathan Winters.

 

[blueglasshorse]

Add Chris Rock to the list.

 

[LITNIN HORN]

Don Rickles needs to be on the list.

 

[Fetoid]

another vote for bill.

Gallagher is awful.

I don't know if people took me seriously, or whether some are posting awful comedians as well?

 

[GatorHorn]

I'm still trying to figure who's the man sitting next to the man that's sitting next to the man...

 

[Summerof79]

Bill Hicks- The fact I watched him from his first time on stage at the comedy Workshop might sway me I will admit. His dark sense of humor is very similar to my own.

Ron White is pretty funny too but not on a Bill Hicks level, I can't imagine the bread hicks would be knocking down in this political climate if he was still around... RIP

 

[Endust]

Bill Mother ******* Hicks

 

[Theo Huxtable]

Not only did some posters not get the sarcasm of some of the first couple posts, but they also didn't get when it was clearly said to be a joke later in the thread.

PS -my vote is Michael Richards. This shtick is hilarious!

I personally think that Margaret Cho takes the cake. She's allsome.

 

[mandingo]

Oooh...yeah. Gallagher.

I toootally blew the call on that one.


Now Dane Cook & Mencia make sense.

 

[LongestHorn]

I have to mention Steve Martin and Bill Cosby.

Cook and Mencia should not be mentioned.

 

[Homesickhorn]

For those who actually didn't read into the sarcasm hemhoraging from my Mencia pic, I'll go ahead and sign onto the Bill Hicks rap sheet. RIP.

I can't believe I am the first person to post this...

 

[7 Iron]

HERE'S YOUR SIGN!!!!!

 

[beaVo]

not that i think he's the best... but it's odd that no one has mentioned seinfeld.

 

[Fan4life]

Buddy Hacket

 

[freyguy]

I see it as my civic duty to return this thread back to where the OP intended....

 

[Michael Knight]

Turns out Seinfelds not funny, was all Larry David

 

[mandingo]

Knowing what I know now (and should have known all along), this thread is freaking allsomely hilarious.

 

[threesheets]

The only correct answer is "Eddie Murphy."

Unless of course this is indeed a bizarro thread, in which case, yes- Dane Cook.

 

[TexasTower]

Robert Schimmel
Dave Chappelle
Chris Rock

 

[trkhorn]

FYI Gallager will be at the RiverCenter Comedy Club in SA next weekend(in the River Center mall downtown).The Link
2 shows per night, Friday is a "nonsmash" show and Saturday is a "smash" show. I dare anyone here to go, but if you do please report the findings.

 

[Mister Falcon]

I'd go with Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy.

On a side note, I've seen both Jerry Seinfield and Carrot Top in Vegas. Carrot Top is INFINITELY funnier. I'm totally serious.

One man's humor is another man's pathos.

 

[RoyalTennenhorn]

Ray Romano if we're joking...Mitch Hedberg if we're not.

Brian Regan

this is the hardest "best" question ive seen on cafe. I can make equaly good cases for about a dozen comics. Hedburg, carlin, murphy, chapelle, mencia, martin, seinfeld, cosby, robin williams, pryor and Andrew Dice have all had me on the floor in pain.

The only comedy genres i dont like are redneck humor and most of the "complaining" routines female comics do. If you want to see the funniest unintentional comedy "youtube" Judy tenuda
