User comments

Who's your favorite comedian? What are your thoughts on Comdedy?

• Youp van 't Hek
• As for show - "Ellen" - it's great, and should be listed.
• The Rosie O'Donnel Show is the funniest Talk Show on TV!!!!!
• I don't recall if this was on the list or not, but I REALLY enjoyed "The John Stuart Show" (second ONLY to the Reigning Sovereign of Late Night, DAVID LETTERMAN!
• My favourite comedians of all time are RYAN STILES, GREG PROOPS, and COLIN MOCHRIE. These men are improvisational LEGENDS!!!!!! I'm surprised that "Who's Line is it Anyway?" isn't on your list of TV shows. Please ammend this!!!!! I'm there are people out there who agree with me.
• Lucille Ball always had somthing for everyone . she was a wonderful comedian,mother and all round american women
• Loved M*A*S*H.
• Rychard Pryer and Gene Wilder movies!
• What about Dennis Wolfberg? He was one of the funniest comedians ever. Is any of his stand up comedy on video???
• Third Rock Rules!!!!!!!!!
• That Was The Week That Was, Men Behaving Badly
• Just Shoot Me w/David Spade is cool
• In your list for best talk show host.. or whatever. Why not update it to include Rosie O'Donnel? She's the only one I like.
• Tim Cavanaugh and Carl Hurley
• Bill Cosby Rules the Roost
• If only the likes of Red Skelton and Shelly Berman were still on the air!!!!!
• What about Rosie O'Donnell?? She ROCKS but isn't listed as a choice under talk shows?!? She blows the rest away!
• Tim Allen rules...I love his comedy.
• I think "Ellen" is the greatest. She has shown courage to enter new territory and has been an inspiration to a lot of people. Thanks for asking!!
• Gallager is my all time favorite comedian.
• the persons name on this computer is not the person doing this survey!!
• I would just like to say the MAD ABOUT YOU is the best show in the world. How could you have a comedy survey and not include Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt or Mad About You in it? Paul Reiser has some of the funniest lines in the world and so does Helen Hunt. Please concider putting it on your so called comedy list.
• Answer to no 6 - the ABC's 'ELLEN'
• Mad about You is one of the funniest sitcoms I have ever seen. Helen Hunt is wonderful, witty, and funny. And no one can deliver a one liner like Paul Reiser.
• The Drew Carey Show
• There once was a man named Joe. His mother had been a nun in Barcelona, Spain. One day, Joe got tired of his small farm, and decided to take up traveling. A shy man, he required a little liquoring up to get started. Unfortunately, he drank a little too much and became belligerent. He rode through the streets of a little town called Hypha, shooting out windows and causing general mayhem. When Sheriff Newton tried to calm Joe down, he received a bullet from Joe's gun for his trouble. Joe was duly arreste and confined, and the next day the local paper ran an article about the escapade on the front page. The caption under Joe's picture read "Hypha-lootin' Newton Shootin, Son-of-a-Nun From Barcelona, Part Time Plowboy, Joe."
• A: Ask me if I'm A Tree? B:Are you a tree? A:NO!!!!! hahahahaha
• I appreciate your understanding in the fact there are way to many to list, and most are a close running anyway. But one should not forget ad libs in Dallas tx.
• Mate, until you've seen/heard the Australian adults-only comedian KEVIN BLOODY WILSON, you don't know what stand-up comedy is all about!! He's outrageous!
• TV NATION!!!! ROGER & ME!!!! (Michael Moore)
• ellen is the goddess in question

• Ellen Degeneres is by far the best ! Her coming out show will be the best thing to ever happen to TV.
• I particularly enjoy new comics, the ones touring local comedy clubs and working on their routines. I like stand-up comedians who allow the audience to participate in the humor without being cruel or mean-spirited. I don't like comedians who rely solely on sexual innuendos and using filthy language. It gets tiresome; I begin counting how many times they've used the "F" word and wonder if they have any vocabulary at all besides that word. I was immensely impressed with The Comedy Warehouse at Pleasu e Island in Orlando, Florida. These people have to think fast on their feet and do a remarkable job of creating skits from the audience's suggestions. I'd like to see much more of that kind of humor.
• Ellen starring Ellen Degeneres
• comedy isn't like it used to be years ago, too much dirty thinking.
• Ellen DeGeneres in "Ellen" is the funiest person alive. Her show is great.
• I love David Spade. He is so halarious.
• The "Ellen" show is extremely funny (when the writing is consistent). DeGeneres carries the weight of the show. She is as talented as Seinfeld.
• Your mother is so short, she drives a tractor on a ant farm!
• Ellen is the best show
• I love HUMOR!
• Emo Phillips, Fred Stoller, Steven Wright. Best show: Dr. Katz

• You forgot the Three Stooges
• Rosie Rocks!
• CHRIS ROCK RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Very sexist survey in excluding women from most of the questions. Lucille Ball and Ellen Generes are two of the most brillian comedians we've ever seen. Shame on you! AND The short-lived "she-TV" was totally excellent. Too bad there are so many morons out there who don't "get it".
• Today's real comedy is great. Some not forget; Dr. Katz, E's Talk Soup. I don't get either of those channels living in the Rockie's, but boy I miss them.
• How can you have a comedy survey without including Paul Reiser, Mad About You, or anyone from laugh-in? I can't believe that the Brady Bunch is one of the listed options. It wasn't even the least bit funny! You should be ashamed!
• BRETT BUTLER LEADS FEMALE COMEDIANS
• Ellen. Just watch it.
• TV Show not listed -- ELLEN
• Ellen Degeneres Rules, But so does Rosie! Who to choose???!!!!!!

• Watch Ellen, it's da bomb!!!
• I love the Rosie O'Donell Show!

• I boycoted the tv show Ellen when a publicity blitz started due to the possible sexual orientation of the character.
• Letterman is not listed???? Dave rules!! Leno sucks!!
• Ellen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Billy Crystal is my favorite comic actor, films like City Slickers and When Harry Met Sally are brilliant.
• Uh, HELLO!? Mike Myers never let me down. He is absolutely hilarious even though I haven't heard from him since he was on Rosie O'Donnell. What's up with all the Ellen fans? Long live sketch comedy!
• Ellen is the funniest TV on today, Rosie O'Donnell is the Funniest Talk show on TOday.
• Why is it that when it's US...it's abortion...but when it's a CHICKEN...it's an omlette?
• Ellen DeGeneres has the funniest show, especially these past few months with all the hints she's dropping, it's always fun to watch Ellen
• Female stand-up Carol Montgomery
• Oh, man... So many choices. "Lord Jim" is my favorite, because he covers all categories of comedy (improv includes them all), especially my favorite - physical comedy (not to be confused with slapstick).
• i love the new cosby show its awsome
• JERRY LEWIS IS THE ALL TIME FUNNYMAN
• Absolutely Fabulous; Jennifer Saunders & Joanna Lumley!!
• (Prov 14:13) "Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, And the end of mirth may be grief."

• Robin Williams is the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Ellen Degeneres is the Funniest Physical Comedian of our time! WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF HER KIND OF HUMOR!
• ROSIE O'DONNEL SHE JUST ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• I agree with the other Mad About You fans who are amazed that it is not included in best sit com. How can you live without including and excellent show like Mad About You.
• I hereby swear to never in my whole life tell a joke or story with the intention of 'keeping it clean', let's opt for a completely rotten, dirty, rude, obscene, bizarre, smelly and immoral next millennium!
• How come Jim Carrey's not listed in the Stand Up Comedians ???
• carrot top is the best comedian
• David Spade rules!!!!
• What about Mad About You and Helen Hunt, Paul Reiser and even Eddie? What about the Simpsons as well? For Comedy show, I also really like Cybill and that is not listed. What about SNUFFY?? And COOKIE MONSTER, and GROVER? EMLO is one of the best, but there can never be a "BEST" on Sesame Street. HI KATE!! Do you like the HELLO KITTY?
• What is comedy? Who defines comedy? Why do we laugh at the things we do?
• Why do you not include Mad About You or Paul Reiser in your survey? (Hi Nattie!)

• I , loved sam kinisaon, and the next one up-dennis miller
• Female in comedy... Eliane from Sienfeld
• CARLOS MENCIA !!! HE IS RUDE, CRUDE AND SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE
• The best comedian and also talk show host is Rosie O'Donnel
• Why dosen't SNUFFY get the same respect as EMLO???????
• Adam Sandler
• Why does nobody vote Laugh-In as their favourite comedy show? It's the classic comedy show and perhaps one of the best ever.
• Ok, just let's all admit it, Mad About You is the best sitcom ever in the history of television. Pual Reiser and Helen hunt are hilariously funny and Murray the dog could beat out Eddie from Frasier anyday. How could you not include Mad About You or Paul Reiser on your list? You should be ashamed!
• Beverly Hillbillies should be listed
• "When I grow up, I'm gonna be just like Ellen Degeneres"(stop laughing at me)

• My favorite show is The Drew Carey Show.
• I can't believe you didn't list All in the Family as a possibility for best sitcom. Hell, it could also be listed for best drama, or for that matter, best T.V. show of all time. Not only was it a pioneer for sitcoms by including many serious issues, and dealing with them dramatically, but it also commented on the state of who we were.
• Ellen is excELLENent!
• Adam Sandler is great too!
• Rosie O'Donnel is a very good uplifting show with good clean fun to up lift anyones life. Shes brought to day time something that was really needed. My hat off to her she's great!!!!!!!!!!
• Chris Elliott, Conan O'brien, Brian Reagan, SCTV, David Letterman, Janeane Garofalo, Hogan's Heroes, Red Dwarf, Howard Stern, Match Game 73-78, Jim Carrey, Drew Carrey, Munsters, Carry On movies, Beavis and Butthead, Mike Myers, Louis C.K., Monty Python, Beverly Hillbillies, ALL RULE!!! Ellen and Smelly James SUCK!!!
• Talk Soup is not quite a talk show, but it is reaaaallllly funny (to me) Jon (the host) ROCKS!
• The funniest joke of all.....My salary! I am an elementary teacher in Texas!
• Left Out:Damon Wayans, Chris Rock, Mr.Bean and probably some others. The State must return to television and so must The Kids in the Hall (or at least another movie).
• D. L. Hughly is a beast and he should do another standup.
• George Carlin is the best Stand up comedian ever but Eddie Murphy is up there with him!
• Jonathan Winters is the master of them all. Robin Williams blatantly ripped him off. If you want to know who the greatest improvisational comedian of the all is, go get yourself some Jonathan Winters CDs or tapes.
• ROWAN ATKINSON is by Far the most talented Comedian Of all Time! American humor stinks! let's face it, the only good TV shows in the USA are MST3K and The Simpsons.
• WE LOVE MAD TV!!!! (ALSO, WE LOVE ROSIE O"DONNEL, oh, Orlando Jones on Mad TV is funny!)
• Ellen is my favorite sitcom right now!!!
• Favorite Comedian: Ellen DeGeneres; Favorite sitcom: Ellen!
• JIM DAVID is one of the funniest unknowns working around the country. White TRash rules!

• Gilda Radner in early Saturday Night Live was one of the best!!!
• my favorite joke kind of thing was the telephone call to god one by Ellen DeGeneres
• Howie Mandell is hysterical - I love him!
• The Rosie O'Donnel show
• I' m funny put me on your list!
• Funniest male comic is Dane Cook, funniest female is Denise Burns. Newsradio and Drew Carey are funniest sitcoms - and Dr. Katz is the funniest show on TV. You didn't have a place for funniest female actress but it is Kathy Griffin on "Suddenly Susan" and this survey is very male dominated.
• The greatest actor of all time is Kevin Kline because he started in Theatre before movies, so he knew how to affect the audiance. I think the same goes with sitcoms and stand up comedians, comedians are better when they start from scratch. The best show in the world is Saturday Night Live. All the shows not just one generation! Most of the Amazing comedians came from that show. Ex: Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd, David Spade, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Dana Carvey, and many others who hosted and were a part of the SNL family. I also think the British are very very very funny! If anyone would like to talk movies, acting or comedy write me at amccurdy@comland.com -Amy
• I dont have a joke in particular to tell, but my favorie types are the ones where something is left out, and figuring out the missing part is what makes it funny

• You REALLY REALLY need to add Adam Sandler to the list.

• Danny Kaye, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, George Burns, Lucille Ball are the GREATEST comedians of the 20th century!!!
• Rosie O'Donnel's talk show is about the best I've seen-daytime wise, that is.
• Mike Moore and his show "T.V. Nation" is extremely funny. Good satire, my favorite.
• I think Joesph Donato is a riot. Why has he not gotten a show? I don't know. Anyway Joseph is cutting edge, Dice style with Cosby class. Oh I have his real email address. it is( jdcomedian@earthlink.net ) I got it from somone home page, and he reply's. Joseph keep up the good work buddy.

• theres this chap and he chaps at this door and this chap answers the door and the chap who chapped at the door says," is yer granny in?" and the chap who answeed the chap at the door says, " no she's et arbroth" and th chap who chapped at the door says, "oh its all right tell her i'l come in and wait until she's finished" also, whats the commonest thing for someone in aberdeen to say after answering the door? - come away in, yel huv hud yer tea?
• Jason Alexander as George on Seinfeld is just about the most polished performance possible, totally excellent!
• How did the Newfie break his leg raking leaves? HE FELL OUT OF THE TREE.
• Mad about you for sitcom
• Ellen Degeneres is the best!
• R.I.P. Bakersfield PD. So funny I laughed all the way through the adverts. Maybe it will follow in the footsteps of Police Squad and have three successful movies made out of it. British and Irish comedians are generally better than American (but then, I s
• early Roseanne episodes were brillant - has since lost the plot however.
• Drew Carey RULES!
• BILL COSBY IN HIS EARLY 60S COMEDY ALBUMS WAS THE FUNNIEST 'STAND UP' I EVER HEARD. MASH WAS THE BEST TOTAL SHOW, BUT SEINFELD IS THE FUNNIEST.
• I think Eddie Murphy is one of the funniest and most talented comedians out there, even though some people may get easily offended by his jokes. He doesn't mean any harm, but it's not exactly something I would go around repeating (ex: Raw). I also think the TV show Friends is hilarious!
• THE BEST MALE COMEDIAN IS MARTIN LAWRENCE ALL THE WAY.PUT HIM ON THTE LIST!
• Three's Company is the best show of ALL TIME.
• I think that you missed one of the most talented comedians I have seen - Rowan Atkinson is funny beyond belief because he possesses the ability to make some one laugh without saying a thing. He is probably best known for his Blackadder performance and his Mr Bean performance. Very underated and very funny. Also I feel that the Late Bill Hicks was hilarious as is Eddie Izzard.
• Firesign Theatre, John Cleese (in anything), Gilda Radner, Comic Relief (the entire production, as well as the MC's--Crystal, Goldberg, and Williams), early sketches by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, CLASSIC improv by Nichols and May AND by Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. movie parodies by Carol Burnett's ensemble.
• Drew Carey is by far THE funniest show on TV today.
• Comedian: Louie Anderson very funny.
• Howard Stern

Howard Stern <-- funny and innovative. Rosie O'D <-- talk show is good. Spalding Gray <-- Could and Should have Talk Show. Garrison K. <-- Funny, but an acquired taste. Tom and Ray <-- Damn funny (and about cars!). Robin Williams <-- has been. Steve Martin <-- now more of a straight man. Lily Thomlin <-- Pi neer. Jay Ward Cartoons <-- Brilliant. Little Rascals <-- Still funny 70 years later. "Who's on First?" <-- Greatest Routine ever written.
• Janeane Garofalo rules as female comedian!
• I don't remember his last name but the guy whose Eddie on that new show Malcolm and Eddie. His stand up is hilarious. Also Bill Bellamy (you survey seems to omit a lot of the young black comics :( ) Margret Chong is also very funny.
• One of my favorite comediennes is Kathy Buckley(I believe this is how she spells her name)
• There really was no way to choose on many of the first questions. My all-time favorite show has to be Mystery Science Theater 3000. It employs a writing staff that keeps the laughs coming and I love to "rank" on bad movies .
• Your choices suck. You Americans don't know what comedy is.
• Sam Kinison was the ultimate king of standup comedy, and nobody will ever come close to emmulating his persona
• Miss Kitty was walking down Dodge's street by the livery stable, saw a light thru a wall crack and looked in. Chester had a shovel of warm horse manure held by his crotch with his pants down. He was excited. Miss Kitty steped it, raised her dress and said "Chester, why don't you just put it in here?" He replyed "THE WHOLE SHOVELFULL MISS KITTY?"
• Denis Leary is the ultimate comedian. No one is more honest in such a hysterical way. He's is a great actor as well!!

• Hey..you left out America's foremost comedic bard..Howard Stern
• Drew Carey show is the funniest on TV today
• OUR LOCAL PBS GETS BRITISH COMEDIES. HILARIOUS! ONLY COMEDY THAT MAKES ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WHEN I'M BY MYSELF.
• ELLEN should be listed in the sitcom list it's the best.I look forward to it every week!
• ELLEN should be listed in the sitcom list it's the best. Il
• The all-time funniest show ever on TV is "The Honeymooners", by a factor of about a thousand. Of the shows currently on the air, none of them really break me up because they're written by morons for morons; however "The Nanny" occasionally blunders into something slightly amusing by accident.
• I think Ed Wynn was one of the all-time great comedians, but I enjoyed even more the dramatic work he did. I think two of his finest performances were in "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl" and Rod Serling's masterpiece "Requiem for a Heavyweight." I hope you agree.
• The best sitcom was "Three's Company" hands down!
• Where are Gallager, Adam Sandler, and Carrot Top?? Just wondering!! =P

• Ellen DeGeneres by a country mile. The best comedian and the best sitcom. Go win the Emmy Ellen!
• Ellen DeGeneres is the most masterful comedianne in the industry because she gets the audience to visualize and feel what she's talking about and then the audience in turn finds it hilarious. Did that just make any sense?

• I'm a die-hard George Carlin fan - but I like all comedy. Laughter is medicine for the soul. I think you missed one person who at least deserves recognition for his talents, which includes comedy - Tom Hanks. Used to love Roseanne until she got too cocky; she's not even funny anymore. I love John Goodman. You missed him, too. Let's give credit to the old Saturday Night Live people especially Gilda Radner (Roseanne-Roseanna-Danna). What a legend. Brett Butler is definitely funnier than Roseanne. And Jeff Foxworthy - the great, but I AM a redneck! How come us "rednecks" don't consider his jokes prejudice as some minorities. Arsenio, you're gone - you got Racist on us. Sinbad...keep up the great job.

The mother is so shocked, she smacks him in the mouth & sends him crying to his room. She then says to the little one, "And what do you want?" To which he replied, "I don't know, ... but you can bet yo r ass it won't be Cheerios!"
• Roseanne beats everybody

A: Before addressing this issue let me say unequivocably that we republicans had nothing to do with the lights going out; we're inclined to correct the democrats mistakes, as long as everyone is aware that it's entirely their fault, and by the way, this will require an additional $7 Trillion defense budget so we can protect the national security of our bulb manufacturing resources.
