Thursday, August 07, 2003   10 FUNNIEST COMEDIANS OF ALL TIME Acidman wants a list. OK, I'll try but I'm really fuzzy on anyone funny before, say, 1900, so I don't think I'll fulfull the "all time" qualification. In no particular order: Bob Hope - he invented or perfected nearly everything we call comedy today The Three Stooges - tops in slapstick Gene Wilder - Young Frankenstein, "What a great pair of knockers!" Mel Brooks - Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Yiddish Indians! Sinbad - black without being offensive or unintelliglble Sam Kinnison - defined a comedic style Lucille Ball - the television years, set a mark yet to be matched Richard Pryor - after the fire, tragedy makes comedy Jeff Foxworthy - pointing out the absurdities of life Roseanne Barr - I hate to say it, but... defined a comedic style Also rans: Bowery Boys, Little Rascals, Ritz Brothers, Cary Grant, John Belushi. So much of the old comedy is spoiled for me by the poor sound that is all that's left on the old movie reels. I can make out much of the dialogue in Little Rascals shorts, for example. Two women who's names escape me, the gal that was very funny until she got arrested for child abuse Paula Poundstone, and that blonde gal with her own TV show who is an alcoholic Brett Butler, thanks, Frank!. Very funny ladies. BTW, nobody on "Last Comic Standing" is all that funny. -- posted by Chuck at Thursday, August 07, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
