oh yes, and the "buckwheat gets assassinated" skit...and the "white like me" skit...that dude was hella funny. back in the day.
earlier i was watching a show about stand up comedy and what makes a good joke. they had a ton of funny comics on it: lewis black, george carlin (RIP), robin williams, penn and teller, and many others. that got me thinking...who are the funniest comics you know? without making a top 50 list...maybe your top 5 ever. narrowing all the funny comics you've seen to 5, ouch!
mine would be: (i think!)
1. jerry seinfeld. funniest human alive, even before his show took him to another level
2. dennis leary. my oh my how offensive, and how funny he could be! he's an @$$hole, oh e oh e oh
3. richard pryor. all the comedians worship him and for good reason.
4. bill cosby. another insanely funny comedian LONG before he had a monster hit show.
5. robin williams. another legend among the legends.
honorable mention: george carlin, tim allen, ray romano, george carlin, jay leno, henny youngman, dana carvey, chris rock...and this doesn't even take into account funny people from tv shows and movies like phil hartman, harry shearer, john cleese, everybody else on the simpsons and monty python, mel brooks, chevy chase, johnny carson, the original cast of SNL, the late 80s cast of SNL, will ferrell, harry shearer, etc. etc. etc.
