Pryors standups were also hillarious. The way Pryor would say one simple thing would make me laugh in his movies. Dave Chappelle is one of my favorites of recent.

Especially when I chasing a 4 year old with a sharpie yelling come here..come here...come here. Or, of course, feedind them chocolate cake for breakfast.

The problem is that they are all unique and have such different styles that there really can't be just one Greatest, they all are. And Larry the Cable guy shouldn't even come close to getting on this list... in fact, I'm going to blame his inclusion on the server issues today.... even the server knew it was bogus and refused to serve the webpages in protest. Browns is the Browns ... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

And only THEN would I laugh. Ron White's pretty good though.

I agree. Some are slapstick. Some are shock. Some are subtle. Some are political, visual, etc., etc. I still say Hope. If you listen to old Hope stuff, he was subtle, and you had to listen and think, but he was funny as heck. If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

So people with only a Middle School education should check with you for a approved Comedian? Everybody should like who they like. Myself, I don't get Jerry Seinfelt, but I'm not going to question the level of intelligence of those who do.

To go back to the Larry bashing, I would seriously put Bobcat Goldtwait on that list looong before I would put Larry on it. Another one that should get honorable mention is Billy Crystal.... and Chris Rock, and Lenny Bruce... and Buddy Hackett... and Red Skelton .... and Redd Foxx .... and Jack Benny .... and no list would be complete without, of course, Andy Kauffman.

Putting Larry The Cable guy on that list is a joke, and I dont even dislike him or anything, but there is no way he deserves to be mentioned with guys like Carlin,Pryor, or Cosby. Hell he was the 4th best comedian on the Blue Collar Tour. KING You may be in the drivers seat but God is holding the map. #GMSTRONG

Let's not forget Joan Rivers and many other female that were nuts as well. But strickly going by those you gave me a choice of, on that list, Carlin would get my vote. Only because his humor wasn't just funny, it was often insightful and caused you to stop and think.
