Johnny Depp? When did he do slapstick? Pirates of the Caribbean? Shaky at best.

What about Dick Van Dyke?

Or John Belushi?

Even Chevy Chase belongs on that list before Johnny Depp.

Jjim Carrey higher on the list than Larry, Moe and Curly? Charlie Chaplin I could buy, but JIM CARREY?? I don’t think so.

Belushi should definitely be on the list, just for the bits he did in Animal House.

Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe The KINGS of Audio Slapstick.

Sellers and Milligan weren’t bad at visual slapstick also.

How bout Marty Feldman

Lucy?!?!?!

Mel Brooks?

This list wasn’t thought out too well.

I agree about Dick Van Dyke. Plus Laurel and Hardy, Jerry Lewis, and...

I would move the Stooges up past Chaplin even though Chaplin had more depth and range the Stooges’ timing was slapstick perfection.
