Funniest person alive-Larry David?

stpaddy99

There are many many funny people dead or alive
stand ups, comic actors, ust crazy zany funny folks

in the panthen of legends from laurel and hardy to bob hope, to george burns, to walter matthau and jack lemmon, dave allen to harold lloyd to richard pryor, bill hicks , andy kaufman and beyond

so to those funny people alive

the likes of billy connolly still going, bill cosby, eddie murphy, steven wright, mel brooks, robin williams, seinfeld, george carlin,billy crystal, john stewart, jasper carrott, garry shandling,woody allen, the younger breed, chris rock, bill maher, ellen degeneres, lous ck, eddie izzard, richard lewis, adam sandler, dylan moran, paul merton, joan rivers, jackie mason,

For me its larry david......curb your enthusiasm is a work of genius that ran for umpteen years, preceeded by 2 decades of the ingenious seinfeld and recently by his clear history tv film....mind bogglingly funny yet again
merry festivus larry you wonderful bald self loathing Jew:D

Na, Brendan O Carroll is.

The_Valeyard

I say nay.

Good day sir.

greedygoblin

Of those you've listed, yes, I would say Larry David is the best.

"Ehh, I took a risk"

Totally agree!

The Diabolical Monocle

Maybe not the No.1 funniest on stage but Artie Lange is hilarious in his overall character ....tragic, wild and intriguing.

Loveable train wreck whos been up and down like a yoyo.
The real life Krusty, stopping off to do a kids gig before being police escorted to rehab kind of deal.


More vices than the population of N.Y, takes swings at cops in LA while coked up after losing tens of thousands in Vegas and spending more on hookers. Still winning, if slightly obese. Sheen doesn't have an inch on him.

Larry is great. For sure. Best ever? Dunno. But up there.

my fave living comic, ever who knows, ever is a long time
watched laurel and hardy recently pissed myself laughing all over again

I think Chris Morris on his day was the funniest bloke alive. Would be great if he did some more t.v. work, not as an actor in someone else's program.

Throw Armando Ianucci and Steve Coogan into the mix.

The guilt of laughing at his incredibly dark humor VS the promise of incredible lulz.

The guilt has yet to win.

i thought you meant the great larry sanders show.
now that was funny

dundalkfc10

Kevin Bridges or John Bishop

MRnotlob606

bill hicks is one of my favourites

Talib Fiasco

I'm probably in the minority here but I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is absolute sh*te...

For me regardless of the fact he hasn't been active in a while, it has to be Dave Chappelle. Complete genius and such an appealing presence.

Rasheed

I don't think I know him, must look him up.

Hasn't exactly been confirmed yet, but there's a suggestion it'll be back, so ran as in past tense may not be appropriate.

Pretty pretty good.

You're just wrong.

Tipsy McSwagger

Larry David is right up there with Richard Pryor, Woody Allen, Eddie Murphy and the legendary George Carlin.

Call Me Jimmy

A toss up between him and dave chappelle.

Seaneh

Chappelle is regularly called "the best living comic" by other comedians, and there is a reason for that.
He's bloody hilarious.

No. He's on a par with Des Bishop for being annoying.

Rebus2013

For anyone who thinks Larry David isn't on top level, just watch season after season of curb....
Rather than deteriorate, it's just excelled more..

Arrival of Leon and the blacks...
Do you respect wood?
Wheelchair Wendy
Palestinian chicken
MJ Fox apparently abusing his illness

Comic genius

(Meanwhile the in laws have mrs brown on the box...if inventor of Tv knew it would be used for that ****e, he'd maybe have canned the project)

Gbear

I accept that he's really good but I just can't abide cringing on the scale experienced from watching shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm or The Office.

Aidric

Funniest person alive? No idea. The comedy writing of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams & Jerry Zucker on Police Squad, Airplane and later the Naked Gun series was close to perfection, however. Not a single word wasted.

miralize

Conan O'Brien & Louis CK are probably the best comedic thinkers at the moment.

padd b1975

The episode where Coogan plays Larry's shrink is pretty much a masterpiece of television comedy.

Wrong in saying I'm in the minority or wrong in saying it's sh*te...if the latter it's all opinion but I've never made it through more than a handful of episodes without switching because it was too boring, repetitive or unoriginal or all of the above...if I'm clearly missing out on his comic genius then fair enough but I know I'm not missing out on a whole lot...dead honest here, I didn't laugh once properly at this and I'm not trying to be biased towards my opinion:

Wrong? Says you? Alright buddy, I was hoping you'd link me some of his good stuff but have it your way!

I thought parts of Seinfeld were incredibly boring and unfunny while other parts were hilarious. It was worth sitting through the tedium to get to the hilarious parts though.

Curb Your Enthusiasm didn't really appeal to me. I think there were maybe two occasions where I really laughed at it.

Seinfeld ran for a lot less than two decades by the way.

Rabelais

Very relevant considering the day that is in it.

Amazing physical comedy from Larry David.

Stone wall classic comedy.

Dylan Moran - could just read the ingredients of pack of crisps and he would make it hilarious

Billy Connolly for me. Don't think anyone else has made me laugh as much as he has. Just watched this gig he preformed in New York around ten years ago and nearly choked on a turkey sambo at the story he told about the old woman on the bus. Sad to see he is battling cancer and early stages of possibly Parkinsons. Man is, and always will be, a comedy legend.
