John Candy, Will Farrell, Chris Farley, Eddie Murphy are some favorites...haven't seen mentioned Adam Sandler or Kurt Russell (think Overboard and Big Trouble in Little China)

I don't know, Galaxy Quest was pretty awesome.
Yes, it was. Tony Shalub and Alan Rickman were also a scream. Unfortunate that Rickman did get more comedy roles before he passed away. He was outstanding in Bottleshock as well.This message has been edited. Last edited by: jigray3, February 25, 2018 07:17 PM

not sure if he's been mentioned but I like Jason Bateman's career revival as more of a comic actor.
I also think Martin Short is one of the funniest human beings on the planet.
I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

For me it was Ben Stiller and Robert Deniro in ‘Meet the Parents’. I started laughing so hard during the dinner scene that I couldn’t catch breath and was gasping for air.

Agreed. I didn’t care for him at first, but once you “got” his comedy style, he was hilarious.
