The Funniest People Who Have Ever Lived (Vanity)
Posted on 04/12/2013 6:00:41 PM PDT by fhayek
In a recent thread about the death of Jonathan Winters, it was stated that he was one of the funniest men who ever lived. He WAS funny, but he wouldn't be on my list of the funniest who have ever lived. And by "ever", I mean since the dawn of recorded media. My list of the funniest people who have ever lived would be as follows:
Groucho Marx
John Cleese
Mike Myers
Bill Cosby
Peter Cook
Rowan Atkinson
Charlie Chaplin
George Carlin
Mel Brooks
Woody Allen
Douglas Adams.
The sole criterion is that they make me laugh. Hard. Everybody is different. What makes you laugh might make me cringe. And verse visa. So list away...

I'll also throw in PG Wodehouse for those with a more literary interest.

Although I agree with all you have listed (Groucho being my favorite) Richard Pryor belongs in the mix

I’m gonna skip over the obvious and say that Edward Gibbon and Alexander Solzhenitsyn were very funny writers.

I agree. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman’s antics will live forever in comedic history.
