What is the funniest show or comedian of all time

The funniest show or comedian varies by taste, but popular choices include Ricky Gervais and The Red Green Show, known for their unique humor and memorable performances. Humor is subjective, so exploring different comedians can help find what makes you laugh the most.

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'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.

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).

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...

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!!!!!"

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!
