Alfred e Neuman and George Carlin (and punkmusicfan21). Call me shallow, but I think satire, irony, and profoundly indignant skepticism have a deep philosophical impact. Making them incredibly entertaining makes them more accessible to the masses.
Long, dry scholarly theses rarely get the airing they may deserve, and often leave less complex minds, such as my own, more confused and foundering than they were. In our current ADD culture, one could hold the secret to the life, the universe... everything, and take it to the grave with them unless they could find a way attract, then keep the attention of the wider audience.
