Comedy leg.

I can't believe you left off Richard Pryor! Although he's gone, he was bar none, the funniest I've ever seen. Eddie Murphy's almost up there though.

Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal are funny

One of the most uneven matchups ever was Comedy Relief - Whoopi, who has no talent at all trying futilely to even be worthy of smelling the shoes of Williams and Crystal, especially when they are feeding off of each other - it's sad really.

Those guys aren't funny in standup though Murphy has his moments.

Samuel Jackson isn't even a good actor, let alone funny. It's rough when the only role you can play is 'angry, unreasonable asshole'. But, like Tommy Lee Jones and Jack Nickolson and John Wayne, he proves you can still make a lot money with no real acting talent as long as you have a good typecast.

No wonder. Pryor was in his prime well before you were born, if you are 18. :P

Try seeing some of his stand up acts... or movies... You'll be on the floor crying from laughing so hard.

Richard Pryor. It's not even really a contest.



Richard Pryor (Whoops! Almost spelled in Pyro) was an important comedian for what he did to open doors for folks that followed. I think everybody respects him for that, but Chris Rock's material is, in my opinion, far superior.

Not just because he's funny, but the messages behind the humor.

Also, Rock is probably one of the best "rhythm" comics that ever lived. If he gets going and kicks into rhythm mode, it doesn't even matter wtf he says; you'll still laugh.

If you're going back to that age for comedy. You can't forget Red Foxx. He opened the doors first, Pryor came along and kicked the fuckers in. B|
