All-time funniest show/comedian?

Many contenders...but I like the red/green show...a bunch of out-door types in Canada who hand out a lot of useless advice...

Rox mentioned Ricky Gervais.

CHRIS ROCK
EDDY MURPHY

THAT IS IT!

or Eddie...

OMG I love Chris Rock standup...HiLariOus

Chris Rock's standup is da bomb!
Dave Chappelle!!
I love That 70s show. Seinfeld.
BET ComicView cracks me up every now and then when a good comic comes on.

'Will & Grace!! Yeah, now that was real funny, something about it stood out from the rest, never bored me..LOL*
'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' (Canadian satire, parody at its finest)
'Boys in the Hall' (another fantastic Canadian sketch comedy group)
'Frasier' Hilarious and believable!!!
fav comedian *Jim Carrey* of course..!

My all time favourit is SouthPark..
I also love the fresh prince of Bell Air (can`t believe i agree with Kris in something).
And Friends.

seindfeld is good but i always thought Jerry Seinfeld is not good actor,he is laughing all the time while acting.

Also the worst show of all time is 3rd rock from the sun,i find people who watch it very stupid and lame.Same for (Mad about you).

Harry Hill
Jack Dee
Omar Marzouk
Bill Bailey

They are all british so thats prolly why you don't know them Bluey..

Harry Hills humour is the best..He's an ex medic professional so you can imagine the bitterly sarcastic and down right dry sense of humour..its morbid also...fuckin hillarious..love it..I am trying to get tickets to see him live..Most people don't understand it and don't find it funny...but I really can't stand ha ha hee hee humour..that does nothing for me

I don't like obvious humour..thats what I was referring to when I said ha ha hee heee humour..LOL..

Have you seen the series Green Wing..Love that..

I tell you what I am seriously getting into right now..The Jane Austen season has started..Watched Mansfield Park last night and the one next week, damn can't think of the name but its slightly on the gothic side..but sounds really good..

I like Frasier, loved Ally McBeal (Lucy liu was such a bitch and I loved it), I don't know many others..can't think right now..

How about you?

I've just had my sky subscription cancelled because I am hardly there to watch it and its waste of money..my Cap friend got me this cable thingy on which i can receive all the channals without paying anything..pretty cool of him

::wonder what he's after::

Anywhos....That programme I am talking about is called Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

Yes Jimmy Carr is brilliant too...(my sagi brothers love this dude to bits)

Ooh I just got some more..Bling did you ever watch "Mock the week"?

That scottish guy..can't think of his name..is hillarious..and one guy I also find hillarious is Hugh Dennis

Actually heres the link http://www.mocktheweek.tv/

Just listen to some of the clips..I am into anything political so its fab for me..

Yeah my body seems to be stunted at the moment..I need to be active at weekends..can't sit on my arse and do nothing..(which is what I do at weekends these days)

LOL..I understand..

I think I've had one too many coffees this morning..can't sit still

Bling are you working these days? still teaching..or bumming around after Australia trip

LOL...I'll have you know I don't have a cockney accent..I originate from a remote village in lovely Hertfordshire..its a local town for local people 😛

Australia does sound tempting but only if I can get work there..Don't want to just bum around but a beach nearby would help..I love my own space a little too much too..

Actually I am having my living room painted too..Getting the girls in next week..Has to be done..been waaaaay too lazy about it..The ex still has most of his stupid toys and camping gear and various other boxes etc etc in the spare room and well he needs to come and collect those so I can rent the spare room out..and make some money..been far too easy on him..

Yeah I reckon I can get in no problem..as long as I can find work in the finance and IT area..all should be good..Actually the Virgo beau is seriously contemplating moving out there so we shall we what unfolds...

I don't like poserish beaches either..and Bondi seems very touristy..But I really do feel like jacking it all in and just chilling for a few months..My Scorpio friend has travelled the entire Egypt over the last 2 months..get a daily dose of blogs from him..soooo not fair...the git just packed his bags and went! Said now he's in a position to marry me as Tescos in cairo are finally doing 2 for 1 on Camels...Hahaha..joker!

Well to be honest the ex has been trying to contact me, I just been lazing returning his calls..then he was on a project in Ireland for about 3 months..we're both as bad as each other really...

LOL @ ice queen...nahhhh

Ok have fun!..

Out with the old, in the with the new and all that malarky...ex's are just ex's..no getting back together whatsoever...

Cheerio

Larry David is pretty funny...but I forgot the name of his series...

I don't really like the over-the-top British humor (although the regular stuff is nearly always excellent.)

Father Ted was okay for farce...the looney old priest saying "Feckoff!!!!!"

I'm going with Brad Neely, the guy who made Wizard People, the Washington video I had for a while, and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Gervais is also good.

Conan Obrian isnt that funny. Colbert, yes, not Conan...his hair is creepy as well.

Hello,

I am new here. Have a look at this link, the survey (British) that says Cancerians are the funniest comedians of all!!!
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2001320029-2005600585,00.ht

I am also a Cancerian, and yes, I do think that we are the funny lot!Ricky Gervais is hillarious, that's for sure.

Friends is really funny and whoever doesn't agree is pretty stupid. No offense...
------------
I fully AGREE with notso07...

David Spade
Eddie Izzard

Alot of Cancerian comedians, that's for sure..

Ricky Gervais is a Cancer?

Bill Cosby, also. Robin Williams....

John Cleese, Scorpio

Satire is the primary characteristic of Canadian humour and Canadians were the very first to bring in the stand-up comedy circuit routine; there's definitely great history there...! 🙂

It looks the link doesn't work - Here is the article (and antibling, you maybe onto something there). This is British based survey, but I noticed that in America there are tons of Cancerians, beside all the mentioned on the forum I would add Tom Hanks, too.
Also, Leo is the least funny (according to this survey). In my experience, this is true, they are often too arogant, pompous, full of themselves and ego-driven to be funny (particularly Leo men). My theory is: more ego-less humour. They are great entertainers, though, in other ways.

It's in the stars - Cancerians make the best comics


SOME comedians really were born to make us laugh - a new survey has found Cancerians are the funniest star sign.

A study of more than 300 comic actors and performers revealed the greatest proportion of them were born under the sign of Cancer.

Ricky Gervais and Peter Kay were both born between June 23 and July 23.

Jennifer Saunders, Richard Wilson, Meera Syal and Neil Morrissey also share the zodiac sign.

The survey by UKTV Gold showed 11 per cent of our favourite funnymen and women are Cancerians.

They were closely followed by Virgoans, who include Stephen Fry.

Leos are the least funny with just 6pc - Joe Pasquale, Brian Conley and Little Britain's David Walliams were all born under this sign.

"The finding that Cancerians are the funniest doesn't surprise me one bit because Jupiter, the planet of joy and happiness, is so at home there," said astrologer Russell Grant.

"Cancer is the sign of the stomach - so it's appropriate to be the sign of the belly laugh too.

"Leos are the natural showmen and entertainers of the zodiac so this result is a surprise, but maybe they are stronger at scripted gags."

Funniest Star Signs:

1 Cancer (Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Saunders, Peter Kay)

2 Virgo (Stephen Fry, Keith Allen)

3 Taurus (Victoria Wood, Tony Hancock)

4 Aquarius (Vic Reeves, Les Dawson)

5 Libra (Dawn French, Harry Hill)

6 Gemini (Julian Clary, Jon Culshaw)

7 Aries (Graham Norton, Ruby Wax)

8 Pisces (Matt Lucas, Rik Mayall)

9 Scorpio (John Cleese, Jonathan Ross)

10 Sagittarius (Martin Clunes, Stephen Merchant)

11 Capricorn (Rowan Atkinson, Caroline Aherne)

12 Leo (Joe Pasquale, David Walliams).

And, just by the way Eaglegirl,

I am a Cancerian, and I adore Scorpios (and they adore me, which is lucky).

Greetings to all wonderful, loyal, gorgeous, magnetic Scorps of the world!

Most leos I encountered were spontaneous and brillinatly funny ( derisive though ). Cancers - a mixture of morose n funny.

Oh I like Jonathan Ross..always wondered whether he was a Scorpio..his friday night show is hillarious...always going on about something sexual that man!!!..hahaha...now its all clear

"2 Virgo (Stephen Fry, Keith Allen)"

...No Bill Murray?

I'm calling shenanigans.


As for funniest sign - I'm going with Gemini.

Eagle Girl reminded me of Bill Cosby,lol i love the way he talks and looks at people,in very cold sarcastic way.

eddie murphy,martin lawrence, and jim carey....they are all funny in their own way

Dave Chappelle.......hilarious!
