I'll toss in Eddie Murphy from his stand up days, and even though I'm disgusted by what he's done, Bill Cosby's stand up in the 80's was hysterical as well.

1. Martin Lawrence - my friends and I idolized this guy in high school. We all talked and acted like Martin from the TV show. He's gotten worse with age though and his overall subpar movie acting has undercut his hilariousness.
2. Chris Tucker - just hearing this guy's voice makes me laugh
3. Steve Carrell - His act on "The Office" was just top-notch. Miss that show
4. Dave Chappelle - Edgy at times, but another guy whose mere voice is hilarious
5. Kevin Hart - An up-and-comer, but understandably not for everyone


That's all I got, off the top of my head.

1) Robin Williams
2) Jonathan Winters
3) Tom Conway

Pee Wee is also hilarious. Should have included him on my list. His slapstick, childish humor act still makes me laugh.

its crazy but for me his longevity kind of worked against him. When he was on, mostly in his young days, there was not many better. But there is so much mediocre material out there of him as well.

Well...my point is that his material was not always intended to be funny.
