Which comedian character is your all-time favorite?

According to me there is no thread of like this. That's why i made a thread for this topic. Ithink all time favorite comedian person is Charle Champion. As their name show they are champion to hold the audience. His comedy can't be describe......................awesome.....,

 

May just be me, but that's a horrible way to start your participation in this forum.

Mostly because you wrote Charlie Chaplin wrong, and you came to a really bad conclusion based on your misspelling. Nice work.

Either way, I really like Charlie Chaplin... but my all-time favorite comedians are Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) and Eddie Murphy.

Also... welcome to the TFP!

 

No favorite because moods change but L&H are at the summit.

 

Of all time? I always have trouble committing to these sorts of things.

I am a big Three Stooges fan but also really like Laurel and Hardy and Chaplin. More contemporary, I really like the work of Jerry Lewis (and I'm not even French!).

 

High on the list - Jack Benny and cast

 

Oh dear god, I hope you don't mean this idiot:

The Adventures of Charlie Champion

Because if you're here to shill for his moronic ass, I'll ban you just for being associated with that kind of stupidity.

But maybe Remixer is right and you mean Charlie Chaplin. Sure, he's funny. I'd say The Three Stooges and the guys in Monty Python are up there too. And Eddie Murphy back in the day could read the phone book and get lots of laughs.

 

Oh wow, you found a matching result. I googled Charlie Champion before I wrote my post but couldn't find a match.

In a way, neither did you.

 

Leslie Nielsen. Guy wasn't putting out masterpieces, but always had me in stitches.

Honorable mention goes to Rodney Dangerfield for being the dirty uncle I never had.

 

+1 Leslie Nielsen

"Steeeee-eeeeee-eeeeeee-RIKE!

 

I thought Ted Knight was a great comedic actor. Also, John Candy. He was so good.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh ... I had a Childhood Crush on her ... and 7 year-old jealous pre-pubescent rages directed at Desi Arnez.


Oh .... and I just remembered another couple of my favourites:
Sandra Bernhard
Catherine Tate

Hmmmm - I don't like Whoopie Goldberg, because, imo, she pushes the 'please like me' button too often - kind of Disneyfies herself - BUT, apart from that I reckon she's dang good.

 

On television/film or stand-up:
Stiller & Meara
Red Skelton
Jonathan Winters
Robin Williams
Steve Martin
John Candy (Trains, Planes &...)
George Carlin
Jon Stewart
Richard Pryor
Chris Rock
Louis C.K.
The Monty Python Troupe
Vintage 1970's Saturday Night Live (various comics)
Ellen DeGeneres
Margaret Cho
Sarah Silverman
Lewis Black
Ben Stiller

On the Internet (so far)
Grace Helbig
Emma Caulfield
Garfunkel & Oates

 

Who's on First was the first routine I ever memorized. Abbott and Costello's timing was impeccable.

Third base!

 

-- to note: (do not repeat yourself; do not piggyback upon others)


I really dislike playing faborititis, (italian slang for <3) so I'm going unconventional here: (w/ honorable mentions)

Daffy Duck (especially when tandem-featured with Porky Pig).

then there was...
The Marx Brohiem (Chico, Harpo, Groucho and Zeppo)
Imogene Fernandez de Coca
Alfred Hitchcock
The League of Gentlemen
Patrice O'Neal
Rich Vos
Natasha Leggero

If I would be allowed, I'd like to modernize the spin of this thread to include the comedy band called the Upright Citizens' Brigade.
I have no idea what any of the members are called, except to say there are probably around a dozen of them, and their influence has helped craft at least one of your favourite sitcoms on various networks and in a variety of integrations (Children's Hospital, The League, Party Down, Community, and some others, I'm sure).

extra bit:
This thread idea, while simple and re-issued, is great; and it is still one of those ones I have on my shelf (but my incarnation involves more youtube-mining-&-sharing than anything else).
Maybe I'll use it as an impetus to move forward. Hey.

 

On the more current side of things:
Benny Hill
and
Kids in the Hall

 

Give me some Mike Myers.
Especially if he had stopped after the first two Austin Powers flicks.

 

First one that came to my mind, Peter Sellers. I did just watch Strangelove but all of his movies are enjoyable.

 

Benny Hill (no. 1)
Milton Berle
Lucille Ball
Jerry Lewis
Jim Carrey
