Great teams...

Steve Martin and John Candy.

David Spade and Chris Farley.

Really too bad Candy and Farley died.

[nonsporting]

Marx Brothers (not Obama, Biden, Reid and Pelosi)

Danny Kaye

Laurel and Hardy

Jerry Lewis

Harold Lloyd

...

[humblegunner]

Harold Lloyd was hilarious and the innovator of much that came later.

[Responsibility2nd]

I know you meant Harold, as you replied to post #3.

But what about Christopher?

Maybe not top ten, but still....

[KrisKrinkle]

This thread is worthless without pictures of Anna Faris.

[nonsporting]

I almost forgot...

Carol Burnet

Tim Conway

Gene Wilder

...

[capt. norm]

Had I not seen the movie "Benny & Joon", I would never expected Johnny Depp to make the list...but he blew me away with his performance in that movie.

Matter of fact, it's about the only thing I remember from the movie.

[Responsibility2nd]

Lucy.

Yes, definitely Lucy.

[goseminoles]

Sacha Baron Cohen= moron

Tom Green is funnier than that guy.

[capt. norm]

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

I would have said the same...until I watched him in "Benny & Joon".

If you're like me, you won't believe it 'til you see it.

[Responsibility2nd]

The entire cast of ‘Blazing Saddles’.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

If it was just from one movie, I'd definitely add Arsenio Hall from “Amazon Women On The Moon.”

[Responsibility2nd]

NAPL pingees know their slapstick - ping.

I’ll second the Tim Conway. The Carol Burnet show is really an under-appreciated classic!

[JimVT]

Jim Carrey would win a mugging title but funny? I don't think so. Where's Flip Wilson???

[joe fonebone]

Steve Martin belongs there...Pink Panther

[passionfruit]

Not a woman in the bunch? Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett should be there!

In her day, Lucy had the longest sustained laugh in television. That scene is described here: http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/23/i-love-lucy-lucy-does-the-tango/

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Don’t forget Laurel and Hardy and Harpo Marx and Peter Sellers.

Ditto, ditto, and ditto. I might add Madelin Kahn and Tim Conway.

Good to see Depp make the list. His performance in Benny and Joon was a great tribute to legends like Keaton and Chaplin.
