I will be the first to say it. Robin Williams was, all things considered, the greatest comedian that ever lived.

for consideration and feedback

hmmmm....no feedback?

Well, it is late...

I disagree, but he definitely was one of the most unique.

Your top 5 give us Then..

Interesting there is no dissention.

Everyone must agree with me, so there is nothing to say...

Jim carrie

Homer Simpson.

Williams just another court jester for "them" unfortunately. Look for the truth. Maybe he finally couldn't handle that fact.

No. George carlin was the best

You can close the thread now. No responses required

Robin Williams
Steve Martin
Jerry Seinfeld
George Carlin
Bill Cosby

No particular order, but here is a top 5 - Cosby on the bubble.

I will be the first to say it, you are either stupid or you are looking for attention. Either way, he was a horrible actor and unfunny comidien.

Aha! someone else is up late....

I dunno, but he was the best comedian for sure...
As far as actors, maybe Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Robert Deniro, Marlon Brando....

It's not fair to claim a best comedian, just like it's not fair to claim a best artist. It's too dynamic. There are so many thoughts, philosophies and imaging.

For me, personally, Jim Carrie for sure would rank #1. That could just be my age range, though.

I think I just like comedy a little darker in subject matter.

I always thought it would be exhausting to spend a day with Robin Williams, haha.

Off the cuff, in descending order:
Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Richard Pryor
Louis CK
Dave Chappelle

I agree generally with this top 5 Comedians...

lol go away tard...

So Stewart Griffin.

Actually Jim Carrie does deserve a spot on the top 5...

I don't think Robin Williams ever made me laugh in any of his movies.

Jim Carry is awful. He beats you over the head trying to be funny in his slap-stick (obnoxious) style.

Yeah, totally brilliant. You just can't pick a top comedian. It's too fluctuating.

Actually in retrospect I would have to replace Steve Martin with Jim Carrie in this list...
Although I do like Steve Martin, but he would be like 6th or seventh or something lol...

Sometimes. Like the Ace Ventura movies I don't care for....

But "Yes man"...and "Liar Liar"??

Brilliant

Bill Murray greatest comedian ever.

I never found Robin Williams funny, but he was an amazing actor.

Chevy Chase should be listed, along with John Candy, and Bill Murray.

It's just not realistic to pick just one, or even a small handful. There are many great comedians who've made their mark.

We're still missing names...

Lol

Dan Aykroyd... Adam Sandler

lol how could I forget Bill Murray?

Ok here's the list:

1. Robin Williams
2. Bill Murray
3. Bill Cosby
4. Jim Carrey
5. George Carlin
6. Steve Martin
7. Jerry Sienfield
8. Chevy Chase
9. John Candy (not that he was that funny, just a wonderful person)
10. Dave Chappell (not much of a movie actor but some of the funniest skits I've ever seen...

Well then....
