Who is the funniest comedian

[cristycurves]

I love to laugh and laugh often, sometimes all it takes is logging on to HUBGFE, but when it comes to comedians who would you list as some of the funniest? I'd include on my list Kevin Hart, Joan Rivers, Lewis Black, Chris Farley, Louis Ck, George Carlin, in no specific order.

Strangely enough, I once managed to see Milton Berle in a small, intimate club setting. He stood up (no easy feat as he was in his eighties at the time) and launched into a one hour stand-up routine that had us rolling on the floor. He even told my wife that he had lingerie older than she was when she talked back to him. I'm sure he did too. Anyway, I'm not sure that anyone else would even think of ol' Uncle Miltie, but he was the first one I thought of when I read the title of this thread.

After he was done I shook his hand and got his autograph. It still hangs on my wall, almost thirty years later.

I once saw Eddie Murphy live with a new friend. She was insulted why I kept laughing so hard.

You all remember Richard cocaine Pryor?.

I like Dave Chappelle, David Cross, Chris Rock, Denis Leary, Sarah Silverman and Steven Wright, among living comedians, (not including myself), and Jeremy Hotz' delivery.

Dead guys: Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinison, Redd Foxx, and Buddy Hackett.

Lots of great stand-up comedians from an earlier era who should have made the list, including Bob Hope, Jack Benny, George Burns, Groucho Marx, Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante and Woody Allen.

Keep in mind that this is the list of funniest comedians, as chosen by people who vote on ranker (dot) com, as opposed to a list chosen by other stand up comedians, for example.

Probably very few of you have ever heard of Katy Brand, who had a very funny show on ITV in the UK for three seasons of six episodes each, called "Katy Brand's Big Ass Show'. It was similar in style to Fox TV's "The Tracey Ullman Show", with a series of short sketches with recurring characters, and a music parody song in each episode. Here's a clip from YouTube of one of the recurring sketches from the first two seasons, "Jesus' Girlfriend":

My first wife asked me for the house, car, yacht and cottage home during the separation procedures. I thought she was the funniest comedian ever.

An old SNL weekend update joke, with made up percentages:

"Studies show that 78% of men kiss their wife goodbye when they leave their house, and 87% of men kiss their house goodbye, when they leave their wife!".

No way that is true.

I remember reading that many comedians considered Johnathan Winters, to be the funniest comedian!
