They didn't mention everyone: John Candy in "Uncle Buck," and Joe Pesci in "My Cousin Vinny."
Maybe they didn't shape modern comedy, but both are still hilarious. John Candy deserves a mention, so he's getting it here. RIP John Candy...gone too soon.

I only read like the first seventy five,
but I doubt they included Andrew Dice Clay, too.

I didn't find him funny, just foul. Anyone that I could think of that ever made me laugh, was mentioned in the article.
"Uncle Buck" and "My Uncle Vinnie," still make me laugh every time. I consider them classics.
If you ever get a chance, see "Ruggles of Red Gap." It is with Charles Laughton from 1935. Classic American comedy.

No Monty Python or Blazing Saddles. Too much later stuff.

Probably not. But the funniest joke of last year was hers.
"I used to date Muslim men,
but now I'm into consensual sex."

I think two from the illustration that people may be having trouble identifying are Joan Rivers (3rd from the left) and Bernie Mac (2nd from the right)
