Who are the world's five funniest people?

[insidehoops]

Who do you say are the five funniest people in the world right now?

I say five because everyone has one or two favorite comedians etc. but five might make people have to think about it.

You can rank them or just list them in random order, your choice.

[MrFonzworth]

[PullupJay]

Jim Carrey
CONAN OBRIAN
SASHA BARON COHEN
STEVE CARELL

[Derka]

I know almost nothing about comics that aren't American.

Dave Chappelle
Bill Burr
Jen Kirkman
Jim Gaffigan
Ali Wong

[hateraid]

Humor is subjective.

Of course everyone is gonna list Dave Chappelle. You're considered unrefined if you don't.
I think Joe Maggi is hilarious. But because he's not known people will think I lack humor

[Nilocon165]

Norm Macdonald not being mentioned yet is a crime

Chappelle’s the only man who can compete

[Kungfro]

Dave Chappelle
Bill Burr
Norm Macdonald
Andrew Schulz
Tom Segura

Schulz not having a netflix special is criminal, no one does crowd work better.

[SouBeachTalents]

Truth be told I could go with like a dozen different people, I'll just go with the first names that come to mind

Louis CK
Larry David
Dave Chappelle
Chris Rock
Will Ferrell

[tpols]

Only names I can think of right now are Burr, Trump, Key & Peele.

[999Guy]

Trump’s position as US president makes him seem funnier than he is cause of the constant irony of being eccentric in a serious position.

It’s classic class clown kind of thing. It’s not funny funny funny.


True, real funny is Anthony Cumia or Colin Quinn. Those are sickeningly funny dudes.

Which makes me feel the funniest mother****ed alive isn’t famous. Cumia easily couldn’t have gotten his 5 years of semi-fame and Colin isn’t known like Burr or CK or somebody.

The real funniest mother****er is working at a ranch or filling mailboxes. It’s not like the NBA or NFL. Talent doesn’t always get to the top in entertainment.

Jim Jeffries is another sickeningly funny guy. Not TV Jim Jeffries when he’s got a gun to his head to keep his cushy job.

Jim Jeffries when just relaxed and shooting the shit is a silly, funny idiot constantly.

Yep Quinn is such a hilarious guy he had to steal jokes for specials. He's a hack. So is the hand biting Cumia who got his shit rocked by a black woman after he was taking pictures of her

Jeffries is alright

[Hakkim90cc]

This guy deserves a mention

Shulz delia and normand are garbage

I'm quite surprised that nobody has mentioned rowan atkinson in their lists

[999Guy]

Quinn could do an impression of some shitty comic every day all day for the rest of his life, he’s still extremely funny.


Cumia is a white trash mess but he is truly funny. Like can’t help it funny, even though his right-wing shit has hurt him.

Nick Dipaolo is another right wing idiot who is funnier than he is stupid.

[Nanners]

Tim Dillon is currently the funniest man in the world

after Tim, in no particular order -

Bill Burr
Norm Macdonald
Nick Mullen
Alex Jones

some runner ups are - Doug Stanhope, Chris Distefano, Theo Von, Mark Normand, Dice, Chapelle, Louis, Cosby...

[Kungfro]

Cumia is alright, I always found Ron and Fez to be far funnier then O&A though. The latter relied a bit too heavily on the shock jock humor that made them big in the first place. Bennington is still my favorite dude in radio.

[insidehoops]

Wonder how often people's answers will change on this.

Not a lot of world's funniest people come along too often.

[Stanley Kobrick]

dane cook made some good funnies

[Gayfuk]

Joe Biden
CNN
The View
Hillary Clinton
Darkwing Duck
Scooter

[Jasper]

Adam Sandler funniest man on the planet.

[Street Hunger]

Anthony Jeselnik isn't one of the world's funniest, but a ton of his jokes are super good.

[And1AllDay]

Shulz delia and normand are garbage

no u

[MrFonzworth]

no u

D'elia in particular, very hack all around, wants to come across as some boundary pusher on social media but all his material is on the fence stuff that couldn't possibly offend anyone. He piggy backs off Callen with his "roasts" that he rehearses with him. Always knew he was a sex creep when I heard he performed every night, glad he was exposed. He looks like Edgar Allen Poe, and if you look like a creep then you are a creep.

[Street Hunger]

Chris D'Elia's jokes are more just like exasperated complaints than jokes.
