Richard Jeni or Mitch Hedberg

Chris Farley he was the funniest S.O.B. I have ever seen.

Charlie Chaplin or, if you want a more modern one, John Belushi.
-
Kenny Everett

I'll show my age a bit... Red Skelton. hehe.

Bill Hicks.

Eric Morecambe.

Well, I wasn't alive when she was, except for the last 3 years of her life--but,I would have to say, hands down, that Lucille Ball was my favorite. She was just a comic genius. She was extremely gifted--not to mention, she was just plain hilarious!
-
Mitch Hedberg!
-
Marty Feldman (he was more a site-gag kind of guy but it stole my biggest laughs every time)
-
A fair few - Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce and the late great Bill Hicks.
-
Richard Pryor, Mitch Hedberg, or Sam Kinison. I haven't had enough coffee yet to decide.

Chris Farley, hands down.

Without a doubt - the extreme social commentator and viciously funny Bill Hicks. (Not for the easily offended!)
-
W. C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Karl Valentin

I would have to say Marty Feldman when he worked with Mel Brooks. Also Bob Hope when he worked with Bing Crosby in the road pics, then Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy with her husband Desi Arnaz.

Tommy Cooper, though he was technically a magician

Chris Farley

Red Skelton.

This quote should sum up my opinion: "...If you people are truly Pro-life, then do me a favor. Don't lock arms and block abortion clinics... Lock arms and block cemeteries, ok? Lets REALLY see how committed you are to this premise..." ~BH (1961-1994)

My favorite has always been and will always be Lucille Ball. She was a msster, a legend, a classic icon, she was beautiful, classy, smart, a natural at anything she ever did, and hysterical all the time, no matter how many times you've seen an episode. Here are a few examples why I think Lucy is so awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTsfVbN7UOM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs15G-TBAbc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU8rm5fL5MQ&feature=related RIP LUCY! WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU! THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGHTER AND THE MEMORIES! WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!

Like many of my fellow ABers, I have more than one favorite: George Carlin, Phil Hartman, Richard Jeni, Sam Kinison, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Chris Farley. As a sidenote, I find it interesting that no one mentioned Andy Kaufman, who was considered to be a "comic genius". I never really got him.
-
George Carlin
-
Walter Matthau
-
The dead ones are not nearly as funny after they've expired.
-
John Bulushi

Groucho Marx along with his brothers Harpo and Chico

John Candy. A terrible loss when he died.
