I remember as a kid watching a Laurel and Hardy movie. It was so funny that I couldn’t quit laughing.

Jack Benny was another great one. It took a few times watching him before his humor began to sink in.

Nobody could beat Bob Hope.

I thought Robin Williams was a good serious actor but he never made me laugh at all.

Buster Keaton was another good one.

This is from a 1927 Laurel and Hardy silent film with (I think) Chester Conklin as the aggrieved owner of the house that L&H demolish as Conklin demolishes their car. It turned out that they shot the film at the wrong house, and Hal Roach had to pay to get the house rebuilt.

Laurel and Hardy from 1927

"Williams...never made me laugh"

ditto. In his forty year career I never laughed at one William's joke or bit. Yet I've seen him act in some serious roles and do an excellent job.
