John Cleese just turned 80.
“For international fans, nobody gives a better impression of the quintessential Brit than John Cleese. The Monty Python co-founder has been facing criticism for his political remarks. He now turns 80…”
I best remember Cleese from a Fawlty Towers episode. Doing a Hitler impersonation, holding a comb under his nose (for a mustache) and doing a Nazi strut before his German guests. That after cautioning the staff, “Don’t talk about the war.”

I'm amazed that only one person mentioned Red Skelton. The man was an amazing comedic mime!
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Sammo Hung is funny as shit. Jackie Chan is a hard working son-of-a-gun. You cannot exclude Dean Shek if you include Hong Kong kung fu. I watched Ring of Death just recently. Good fun!
Bud Spencer, also a favorite of mine.

Peter Sellers was a great physical comedian as an actor. Think of his Pink Panther bits. He had a great moment in the very old Brit film “The Ladykillers. “

Then there's Tim Conway on The Carol Burnett show getting Harvey Korman in stitches:
