    Carson was fantastic.And I also don't like some crude sophomoric humor.Never a fan of practical joke/hidden camera shows or Jack ass type shows.
    Really love the humor of Ramis,Apatow,David and Hughes in Shows and movies.

    Have you ever seen Billy Connely stand up routine? Dennis Leary? Both were hysterical.

    How did I forget Eddie Izzard? I find that guy to be funny as hell.

    CAKE OR DEATH!!!!

    Yes both Connely and Leary are funny.

    Oh I dig Leary big time - standup, Rescue Me, and of course, the Asshole song.

    Speedy, will do that search. My parents - mom in particular - were fans of Martin & Lewis, as a team and separately.

    "Hey lady!"

    I remember when Jerry's telethons were actually watched, and Dean was right there with and for him.

    Gah! You two are making me smile.

    Did you tune in Sunday nights, 8pm on CBS, to watch All in the Family? So weird how the specific channel and time slot sticks. Loved Archie and his pip, Edith.

    Ok,fair enough.
    What is the funniest stand up of the last 30 years?Murphy raw,Leary,Robin Williams all are up there wouldn't you say?
    I think we also have 2 different categories that while both comedic are not the same.Stand up vs Improv/Film

    Eddie Murphy was up there at one time. Same with Williams.
    Between those 2 I would take Williams.

    I am also not a BIG fan of just pure crude humor. You don't have to swear and get raunchy to be funny. That is why I prefer the older classic comedians.
    That's a big part. Nowadays it is way too straight forward.

    Back when things were funny... it was a lot smarter and suttle. Just the extras on the sets of things like the blues brothers and funny farm are endless laughs. Or even something odd like "got my cheez whiz boy?" The Jerk is the best comedy ever made.

    1.Sid Ceaser
    2.Your Show Of Shows(which reminded me of)
    3.Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

    Those 3 should NEVER be mentioned in a thread discussing Will Ferrell.

    Sounds like you guys are telling Will to get off your lawns. He's freaking hysterical. Not all his stuff is great but when he's on, he's on. Very comparable to Bill Murray for me with that great run of comdey classics.

    I find his roles (not sure about him personally, just his characters) to be ultra bland and boring in comedies.

    I have to throw in a little Peter Sellers here. There was a guy who, without saying a word, could make you bust a gut laughing.

    Just watched Off Camera with Sam Jones with Will Ferrell. Very little clowning and a solid interview. If you haven't seen the show it's pretty good. The episode with Jeff Bridges was great.
