I really enjoy Seth Rogan, Steve Martin, George Carlin, Flip Wilson, Denis Leary, and of course the Monty Python crew. And, the Beatles were fairly funny in their films. I also thought the Monkees had their humorous moments as well.

(FTR, I'm 28, lol)

Most of them rely heavily on profanity and sick humor for laughs. I agree with the person who mentioned Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. When you are asking about the funniest "of all time," I think Dean Martin ranks near the top, both in his movies and his TV show. And my very favorite was Red Skelton. He did not have to be obscene to be funny.

I have to agree. Most of today's TV shows and movies aren't worth watching. Some of my favorite comedians are Bill Cosby, Lucille Ball, Carol Barnette and Red Skeleton. They didn't have to use profanity or toilet humor to try and get a laugh. The actors of today that THINK they are funny could take a lesson from some of these legends of comedy.
