Alright, lets hear eveyones favourite comedians. Really think about this though. I dont just mean your favourite stand-up comic, or favourite funny actor, I mean really think about who you think is/are the worlds funniest or smartest comedians.

Without a reasonable doubt, I would have to go with the single great mind of both Trey Parker and Matt Stone combined (the mind behind South Park). They are comic geniuses, and I was watching Orgazmo the other day and i think its unbelieveable, the stuff these guys write yet they still dont get the recognition they deserve becuase of all the uptight parents and stereotypical conservatives with problems with alot of their work. I dont like these guys for thier shock factor or even jokes, but I admire and respect these guys for thier unimaginable smarts. I look at these guys work as art more than I do any other comedian or writer.

Also, as a comic actor, I would have to say Will Ferrel is my main man for getting the giggles happening!

Without a doubt Jerry Seinfeld is awesome. I loved his show, and saw him do stand up when he came to Melbourne, he was so quick witted and smart it was amazing. Locally I like Wil Anderson very smart guy who can make a political joke as funny as a dick joke.

I like Bill Hicks. And as an actor Jim Carey. He has his own unique style that no one will ever have. Also he is a versatile actor being able to do the serious roles really well to.

WOO 100 posts.

Yeah, I really liked him in 27 (I think thats what it was?). He is great at being able to be serious as well as downright hilarious. Watched Dumb and Dumber the other day for the first time in years, just as funny as it used to be.

The number 23 Razz

You should watch Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. A great Jim carey movie. And he plays a serious role in it. Very sad/happy/everything.

Seth MacFarlane is just amazing.. watch Family Guy and you'll understand...
IMO the shows that Seth made have the best humor ever...

i do like family guy. But simpsons is heaps better. It has heart for one. Better writers. Anyone can write a family guy episode. And i find American Dad pretty boring.

Yeah, I think American Dad sucks a big one. I used to love family guy, but its getting stale in its newer seasons. Simpsons on the other hand, is getting better and better. Absolutely loving the new seasons.
