Your Favorite Funny Man?

[JustBonee]

I remember a funny man from the past ….. Jackie Mason… He won Tony Award for 'The World According To Me’.

I thought he was funny, mostly because of his presentation.

My favorite was already named in post 22, Jimmy Kimmel.

 

[-Oy-]

From a Brit point of view... Billy Connelly and Peter Kay.

 

[Rich]

George Carlin by a wide margin...

 

[Trade]

Three-way tie. George Carlin-Chevy Chase-Robin Williams.

Carlin, Louis CK, and Ricky Gervais for me.

Robin Williams and George Carlin are my absolute favourites. Good clean humour.

Robin Williams and George Carlin are my absolute favourites. Good clean humour.

uhhhh.... George Carlin was anything but clean in the last part of his career.
DH and I walked out of a performance of his... he was going strong with jokes about incest and underage sex. Just could not take it any longer.
He WAS a favorite, but that night knock him way off the list.

I must have heard him in his early days. I certainly wouldn’t find incest and underage sex funny in the least. I take back my vote.
George Carlin is definitely off my list.

I'm remembering his earlier days, I don't remember hearing him talk dirty like that but if he did, I guess he did, I'm taking him off my list. He didn't need to do that!

Bob Newhart.

 

[Paladin1950]

I choose 5 Brits and a Yank.

 

[Magna-Carta]

Hmmm...? I felt I could only vote for 'Other'. And over time, that 'Other' often changes.

At the moment, this is my other. Michael McIntyre discusses the concept of the "Man Draw". You knowww... We've all got one! Well, if you are a man:

 

[UpstateGal]

same here. It's sad that has not only become acceptable but also considered funny.

Robin Williams has to be my #2. My husband & I laughed so hard when we first seen this skit on fatherhood. Luckily ours didn't mimic the repeating of language at 9:28 into the skit. He was so talented & lost too early, may he RIP.

 

[MaidMarian]

Pee-wee Herman

 

[Oldeagle66]

Richard Pryor and Paul Mooney.

 

[Rae]

Carroll O'Conner
