i am about to sound really old and dumb but....i feel like the best comedians were alive in the 70s and 80s...both stand up and movies...

i know there are great comedic writers and some really funny people now but.

Gene Wilder
Richard Pryor
Chevy Chase
Rodney Dangerfield
George Carlin
Bill Murray
Dan Akroid
Harold Ramis

just the funniest people ever

Did you want to open a new thread off topic to discuss this?

It IS Gonzo!! And excellent start on Standininfrontaya! Keep journaling it.

John Belushi? Robin Williams? Jane Curtain? Lily Tomlin? Gilda Radner? :biggrin:

Great list but you forgot Steve Martin! His standup is legendary.

Well crap! Imma walk away like an Egyptian.

Eddie Murphy!

YES!!!! my list was certainly nonexhaustive...you guys get what i am saying though...these are the titans of funny..

Gilda Radner made me piss myself in like fourth grade bc i could not handle the Rosanna Rosanna Danna SNL skit!!


I was super blessed to recently see Steve Martin and Martin Short together...it was amazing

I bet that was a treat! They played Red Rocks in Colorado last summer but it was pricey and sold out by the time I caught on. Glad you got to see them. Nice pics by the way, too!

That list was just a real hoot. Good times, good times.
