2) Richard Pryor *
(Asterisk for un-PC language and some adult content, more than offset, IN MY OPINION, by his unique ability to get white people and black people to laugh at each other all in good fun. Where is he now when we need him?)

=====================
However, (I'm sure I'll get scolded over this but here goes...) I believe that The Lord Jesus, when he wanted to, was really good for a good hilarious laugh whenever he really put his mind to it, the kind you remember the rest of your life, and that this might be (hey, it's just MY SUPPOSITION, and who am I to say for sure?) the most under-rated part of his ministry on earth. Why would he not have been?
John leaves the door open in the last sentence of his gospel, when he says that there (at least at the time) weren't enough books in the world to write down all the good things Jesus did for people. How about helping a kid out who's got a thorn in his foot by getting him to laughing first and then pulling the thorn out while the kid's laughing... then a minute later when the kid asks when he's going to pull the thorn out saying, "Oh, you mean this one?" I saw a man do that once and had to leave the room, why wouldn't Jesus have been able to do the same thing in the same situation?
Also the time that Jesus talked about the Pharisees being "concerned" about the mote in "your" eye, but being ignorant of the plank in their own eye? I believe (okay I know I'm gonna get it) that in the sensibilities of the times that he was just cracking them up, the faithful that is, and that having no sense of humor had a little to do with the Pharisees being unable to accept criticism.
Putting on my flame suit... fast...
I am sure Jesus had a good sense of humor, He created the platypus, didn’t He? Children probably made Him laugh.
