Best comedian of all time?

Wanda Sykes? That's seriously very close to neg rep.

The closest is probably Sarah Silverman, but she's pretty fail tbh

her show sucks. her early standup was very funny. shes not in the all time discussion but someone said female comics aren't funny, and i think shes funny

Daniel Tosh is my current favorite, with honorable mention to Jim Gaffigan. Jay Mohr is pretty damn good too.

Carlin and Pryor...class all their own. Nobody can really touch how they changed the stand up routine along with Kinison and Bill Hicks. Bill Hicks was less of a comedian and more of a prophet though.

Golden age comedian? Bob Hope I guess, but I really haven't seen enough footage.

I'm just relieved nobody has mentioned Dane Cook. He deserves a dishonorable mention.

Bill Burr...I'll have to see a few more routines by him before I set him up with Tosh, Gaff, Mohr or Chapelle.

Carlin and Pryor are neck and neck.

For Baby Boom Generation, the ONLY reason I would put Pryor above Carlin was his work 2 movies with Gene Wilder! (Silver Streak & See no Evil, Hear no Evil. Both very funny movies.) Carlin's work in movies was limted to mostly back up roles, tho he did a good job in his roles. I would probably make Pryor #1A and Carlin #1B!

Right behind them? Cheech and Chong! Their bits on records and stand up were way too funny for TV! Basketball Jones was actually on the Top 100!

Now before them, Buster Keaton, Milton Berle, Bob Hope & George Burns (who never really got enough credit as a straight men to his wife Gracie Allen.) Keaton was a genius at what he did!

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
