I totally dropped the ball on this one!
Jim Carey via incredible explosiveness, speed and of course retard strength!
kevin james via actually knowing what he's doing
Dice Clay or Galagher because he carries a hammer.
Andy Kaufmann did have pro wrestling exp. Just sayin.
That list is absolutely terrible.
But.........Kevin James
Red Foxx when he was young fucked shit up!
and also after all these years he is STILL listed as the most fucked up foul mouthed dirty mutha fucker comedy ever produced!!
LOL got to love him
RJJH - Bernie Mac
and only because Doug Stanhope isn't on the list.
I was thinking Hughley, but what the hell kind of standup comedian list doesn't have Stanhope? Easily one of the greatest comedians of all time.
Roseann Barr is #9, and Stanhope is +100?
There are so many not listed, and so many listed. But if you want, you can chose people from off the list. for those who say that top 100 show, they sometimes were rated that high, for doing something, that paved the way for others, maybe even better than themselves. But still I do not agree with the list.
Kevin takes it so far.
as much as i hate the way this list is ranked, i'm pleased that Dane Cook is not listed.
Any list that has Roseanne Barr ahead of Robin Williams, Johnny Carson and Jerry Seinfeld if full of fail.
With that said Roseanne is fucking funny.
Richard Lewis via drowning everyone in a pool of Boku.
I think the rankings are representative of what the accomplishment of the comedian was at the particular point in history they were out.
using Rosanne for example, I hate her and dont even think she is funny but she was one of the spearheads for women in the business. If you ever see her Bio its crazy the shit she broke through
The first 10 on that list are pure groundbreakers
Whether the list is 'good' or not is subjective and depends on who made it. A list made by comedians using things they feel or important and a list made by casual fans who jut want the funniest mutha fuckers would be 2 completely different lists yet both would be correct
Dave Chappelle at 43? top 10 imo.
