Funniest actors of all time?

Posted on 11/19/2014 6:43:29 PM PST by MNDude

There have been actors that have made people laugh since the days of Charlie Chaplin. We all have our favorites whether it's John Candy is or Robin Williams. Who do you think are the three funniest actors of all time?

For some strange reason, Jerry Lewis is some sort of comedic genius, ........in France.

One never hears about any terrific German comedians, for some reason.

I like when Benny chases the women around the stage in the skimpy outfits.

The Germans tried to be funny.

Didn’t work out.

Omg! Rodney Dangerfield. As Carson said, he was a joke machine.

Mel Brooks was great. Not every single time, but overall, yes.

Speaking of him, Madeleine Kahn.

Agreed. I hoped they would continue with the series in the late 20th century but I guess everyone moved on

Wow, speaking of cross-dressing comics, Milton Berle!

Sid Caesar was good, too.

Wish I could go back in time to the day that was filmed and live out the rest of my life there.

I am old enough to remember when a lot of them were still popular but not old enough to have been around when they were first popular.
