Winston churchill had some badass one liners.

---

My favorite was when the proper English lady who didn't like Churchill's bluntness told him, "Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your tea." Churchill's quick reply, "Madam, if I were your husband I would drink it."

Brutal…

---

"A lady came up to me one day and said 'Sir! You are drunk,' to which I replied 'I am drunk today madam, and tomorrow I shall be sober but you will still be ugly."

"I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."

[socialist] labor guy Attlee is standing over the piss trough as Churchill enters on the same mission. Churchill stands as far away as possible.

Attlee: "Feeling standoffish today, are we, Winston?"
WSC: "That's right. Every time you see something big you want to nationalize it."

Rickles. 86 years old. Still bringing it.

Look at Spielberg laughing after he zings Julia Roberts.

I'm not sure about all time but Jonathan Winters was one of the funniest people ever. I'm guessing most on this board probably aren't even aware of who he is because he hasn't been around in many years.

Go watch some of his guest appearances on Johnny Carson which I think you can catch on Hulu(?) now. Guy was brilliant.

Norm MacDonald. He never "shut off" and only he could tell his jokes. The goofy Canadian inflection just can't be replicated.

Richard Pryor followed closely by George Carlin.

Phil Hartman is up there for me. Fantastic timing, great impersonations.

Sort of surprised Bill Burr isn't on this list. I have a hard time saying who the 'all time' favorite is, but I think Burr is winning in the moment.

A lot of other good ones listed

Me. Using the whole fist doc?

Wow... that's a hard one. Obviously, most people's minds go to a stand-up comedian. As someone who is in his mid 30's, I grew up with Conan O'Brien and have always found him to be hilarious. Especially when his funniest stuff are his remotes, where I am assuming there is no cue card the entire time.



Had to post another one, because now i'm going down the dark hole of YouTube videos...

I put Bill Murray / Bill Hader, but Conan's brand of humor makes me laugh non stop. I love his podcast.


Bill Burr is definitely the funniest former Imperial sharpshooter out there.

The Simpsons went downhill after Conan left and Phil Hartman was murdered.

Mitch Hedberg

Victor Borge.

Gervais hosting the Globes that year had to be the top hosting job ever. He brought it that night.

Ricky Gervais makes me laugh harder and more consistently than just about anyone.

---

Extras is my favorite/funniest sitcom ever! That cartoon show he did with Stephen Merchant and Karl was also hilarious!

---

The Office is absolutely hilarious. I take it over the US remake all day.

---

Hipsters

Ricky at the globes is incredible but this is a bad take.

Rickles is a great one. One of a kind.

My favorite Rickles story is at the five minute mark,here.

I don't know but isn't it interesting that's it's certainly not a woman?

---

Carol Burnett mentioned just a few posts before? Never watched Lucille Ball or Lily Tomlin either, I suppose? Phyllis Diller? Joan Rivers? Holy cow, what a terrible take.

---

LOL.... no it;s not a horrible take. While some of those women are funny none are close to the funniest men on this list. imho.

Case in point - I didn't watch Carol Burnett for Carol I mean she had her moments but I watched it for Tim Conway.

Lily Tomlin. You're joking right? Mildly funny at best.

Phyllis and Joan they had their schtick and were somewhat edgy. But not among the funniest comedians.

Lucille Ball is the best on the list and I would not put her top 10 on comedians overall.

I suppose a woman's perspective could be different. My wife saw Joan in Vegas and loved her. The girls went and the guys went to the casino instead.
