      Ok this thread made me laugh!
      First off all it asks "who is the funniest comedian of all time"
      Not even one person has got it right so far!!!!

      The funniest comedian of all time is a Scottish guy called Billy Connolly!! This guy does gigs infront of 50,000 people!!!

      I know you will all be thinking he is Scottish and you haven't heard of him but he has been around for ages and lives in America and is very big over there!

      He can make you laugh by telling you about his life and what he done when he was younger..... Its not an act he talks the truth and makes it funny!!!

      BILLY IS THE MAN!!!

      also Lee Evans is Funny as well.........

            Yeah I was using the 50k as an example. He has done much bigger and is totaly original and none of this repetitive shit which most comedy acts go through!

            I would really advise some of you who like comedy to go out and search for a Billy Connolly DVD or VHS, I swear it will be the best $30 you will ever spend!!! I got his new one "Live in Dublin" and I have warched it 3 times, each time you pick up new things and its even funnier!!!

              Pryor hands down. Carlin and Murphy runners up. Fawlty Towers the best 12 episodes ever. Curb your enthusiasm is the new shit. Totally hillarious.

              Chris Rock has a cool thang going on too. Margaret Cho not bad. Not bad at all.


              Oh and Black Adder is the second best show ever

                  Best ever?

                  The three stoofges have been watched and laughed at for 4 generations and Red Skelton was pretty good.

                          Dave Chaplelle is hilarious. Martin Larewnce is good too but Chapelle kills.

                            First of all I understand what you say about Americans not finding some things funny....

                            But I believe everyone would find Billy Connolly funny.... he is just so lively and honest about life and makes it funny...

                            Do me a favour and download something from Kazaa from Billy and listen to it..... then come back here and let me know what you think or icq me 164643450 !!!

                              > The funniest comedian of all time is a Scottish guy called
                              > Billy Connolly!! This guy does gigs infront of 50,000 people!!!

                              Yep. I reserve the right to edit.... my list is now:

                              Billy Connolly
                              Richard Pryor
                              Bill Hicks
                              Bob Monkhouse

                              No-one can ever beat the man, Bob Monkhouse for sheer wit, oneliners and unbeatable speed. They say this man is the most underated comedian of all time.

                              I would add Steve Martin but he's really gone downhill, ever since he started doing those dumb "Parenting" movies. Its like the fucking PTA sponsors him.

                                  2) Rowan Atkinson

                                  9) Red Buttons

                                  11) Jonathan Winters
                                  12) Art Carney

                                  I like the older comedians better than the new bunch...

                                      I'm descended from 200 years of hillbillies and prissyass pilgrims and I LOVE Monty Python...and a lot of John Cleese stuff. Terry Gilliam is, after all, a Yank. I like Billy Connolly, too.

                                      My list o' prejudices:

                                      Paula Poundstone
                                      Jon Stewart (best standup I've ever seen in my life)
                                      George Carlin
                                      Bill Mahr
                                      Richard Pryor (early, angry)
                                      Bill Cosby (early, unstuffy)

                                      I'll put in a vote for Steve Martin, too. His early shit was great. "I believe Ronald Reagan will make this country what it once was...a barren wasteland covered with ice."

                                      My favorite's gotta be the late, great Brother Theodore (someone most of you are too young to remember).

                                        Chris Rock is up there... Jim Belushi have a big star too...

                                        Around since 1997, and the company that introduced "Cascading Billing" in MPA3® Affiliate Management and Tracking Software

                                          I agree, Bill Hicks is amazing. How has no one mentioned Lenny Bruce yet?!?! Come on! he invented the style of humor that made Hicks, Carlin, Maher, Black and so many others famous.

                                          also really enjoy Eddie Izzard, Dave Cross, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Seinfield, and young Georle Carlin before he resorted to dick and fart jokes.

                                                  also really enjoy Eddie Izzard, Dave Cross, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Seinfield, and young Georle Carlin before he resorted to dick and fart jokes.
                                                  I considered Lenny Bruce, but I decided against him. He was funny in the beginning, but after they started busting his shows and harrassing him, EVERY routine was whiny diatribe about the authorities. It got to be nothing but 90 minutes of Lenny Bruce reading from legal papers and trying to make jokes out of things that just weren't funny.

                                                    Yup - I was reading through this thread and thinking the same thing "where is Lenny Bruce?".

                                                    I'd also have to agree with all of these stand up comics already mentioned:

                                                    Steve Martin
                                                    David Cross
                                                    George Carlin
                                                    Woody Allen

                                                      THANK YOU! Finally someone mentionned them! Good god were they amazing. They were so cutting edge and never gave a shit about it. The skit would be great or absolutel crap but it was different. You never knew what to expect. Great characters too, Gavin, Buddy, Chicken Lady, and Scott Thompson's impression of the Queen is damn funny.

                                                      To mention some that haven't really been mentionned much previously...

                                                                Here's a Sophie Tucker joke for you:

                                                                I was making love in the woods with my boyfriend Ernie.

                                                                He says to me "Soph! You got no tits and a tight box."

                                                                I says to him "Ernie... Get off my back."
                                                                I still love everybody

                                                                  I'm gonna age myself here a little bit, but I just happened to be lucky enough to see some episodes of the Flip Wilson show recently and I laughed till I cried. Anyone else remember the show with Joe Namath? It's a classic!

                                                                  Some of the Carol Burnette shows were side splitters, as well.

                                                                  Monty Python RULES! Also a big fan of "Waiting For God" and "Are You Being Served?", and will always find time for "Fawlty Towers" and "No Honestly" if they happen to be on.

                                                                  Charles Grodin is a great comedic actor, along with Martin Short and Chevy Chase.

                                                                  Stand up:
                                                                  Bill Hicks (my significant other just turned me onto him recently... GREAT shit!)
                                                                  Eddie Murphy (before he got so bitter about women)
                                                                  Tim Allen ("Rewires America" about killed me)
                                                                  Bill Cosby ("Himself" was hysterical, but my all-time fave is the album "Why is there Air?")
                                                                  Louis Anderson has done some funny stuff
                                                                  Dennis Miller (YES!)
                                                                  and, of course, my personal hero, Mr. George Carlin.

                                                                  I'm sure I'm leaving out tons, but that's what came to mind.
