Robin Williams - live on Broadway had me laughing the most I’ve ever laughed ever.
Dave Chappelle - I could just watch him all day long. His facial expressions, mannerisms and everything else just make me laugh so much.
Bill Cosby is just classic too. One of the few comedians I could watch with my grandmother.
I also saw a skit a few times on Comedy Central - can’t remember the name. But the guy was talking about how he wanted at his funeral to have a closed casket and at some point during the service have his body drop down from the ceiling like a marionette (sp?). Him describing the scene just made me bust out laughin hardcore. Anybody else see that one?
But Robin Williams is definitely the best. By far.

Chapelle can make even the stupidest skit hilarious, delivery is off the charts…that whole sketch about the dude jerking off on a bus had me rolling, and it wasn’t even that funny.

He was on Oprah and someone turned it on in the clinic. That was the funniest interview I’ve seen and I don’t think he was trying to be funny at all.
My two absolute favourites are Steven Wright and George Carlin. Though nothing makes me laugh harder than Dave Attell’s delivery of “It’s slippery outside.”
I can’t believe Bill Cosby was only mentioned once. =/
When all’s said and done, the two comedians who have simply made me laugh out loud the most have been Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Cosby.
Dane Cook can have some very funny stuff, so can Dave Chappelle, although I hold Chappelle in a higher esteem, he’s just so unique and doesn’t degenerate into being as loud and obnoxious and off-the-wall as possible like so many others are doing.
I don’t know; Dane Cook is hit or miss with me. Sometimes he really makes me laugh, but most of the time he bores and annoys me. I really don’t get why he is so popular right now.
Many consider him the original. Both Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor stated they took much of their style from him. He never gets enough credit and some people probably don’t even know who he is now.

When I was a teen (a long time ago) I had one of his albums … I’ll never forget , because it an all red vinyl record … the young guys won’t know what a record is, so just trust me, it looked cool as hell.
There was some funny shit on it. His Fred Sanford character was funny, but his stand-up act was way ahead of it’s time.

The Dice Man was king for a while. “Diceman Cometh” was unbelievable. It actually hurt from laughing so hard. “Hickory dickory dock…” He ushered in a new era of comedy.
