Office practical jokes
yeah it may have been a slow burner but
the rest of the world soon caught on
most notably executives at NBC you
proved my point his brand of humor may
be offensive to some but his ability to
focus on the human element especially
the awkward human element brings a sense
of universal truth to his act I in other
words
gervase insightfully observes the
mundane aspects of life the little
things that seemingly have little
significance and turns them into the
funniest things on earth so meeting
adjourned
number nine Dave Chappelle I’m with Dave
yes
although he started his career in
blockbusters like Robin Hood men in
tights and Conair what are you doing
here hello not many people knew about
Dave Chappelle when his Comedy Central
series dropped in 2003 but it soon
became apparent that he was establishing
himself as the next great innovator of
sketch comedy with sharp takes on the
past present and future the DC native
consistently upped the ante until his
increasing concern over the
misrepresentation of black performers
took a shocking turn I was a crazy place
I don’t know if you guys know people
that work in Hollywood and so Chappelle
travelled to South Africa and released a
2005 documentary entitled Dave
Chappelle’s block party upon his return
it’s just a piece of shit I told you to
laugh he played by his own rules and
he’s one of the most respected comics of
his time as a result I’m Dave Chappelle
you’re the best audience in the world
number 8 Paul Rudd you know what thanks
man like I’m sorry I can’t
I got a function by 2004 this man had
long been established as a seasoned
performer in film and television but he
was more commonly known as oh that guy
then his actual name if I had a nickel
for every time somebody’s asked me that
but that all changed after the release
of anchorman The Legend of Ron Burgundy
in which Paul Rudd played a long-haired
San Diego newsman enthused by the
potency of his sex panther cologne she
gets a special Cologne it’s called sex
panther by Odeon it’s illegal in nine
countries yep it’s made with bits of
real panther his nice guy face makes his
most devilish moments that much better
and his numerous collaborations with
Judd Apatow have resulted an all-out
comedic madness you know I know you’re
gay oh you like Coldplay he’s the guy
you want to have a beer with and the guy
your girlfriend would drop you for given
the opportunity
I want to go home number seven Jack
Black
okay whatever now here’s a man who
always seems to be having a seriously
good time good time to ride a rock song
from mm high fidelity to 2009’s year one
Jack Black made a decade’s worth of
films that had viewers snorting with
laughter
in spite of ourselves to be called
muscle tribe of danger and excellence
his flair for the dramatic comes from
his background in music and he’s a
master at conveying his physical
happiness through jerky body movements
and guitar faces that would make John
Mayer crawl into a corner a Hawaii
five-o you ever see that show okay well
there’s a drum solo in it to go shake it
to get you could you could you could you
not hot car unless you live hot car and
while he’s killed numerous starring
roles with his balls-to-the-wall humor
he’s also known for his killer cameo in
anchorman excuse me excuse me what are
you doing that’s how I roll number six
Simon Pegg I don’t understand is it done
having already earned recognition from
his short-lived but hilarious television
series spaced
Peg’s fame skyrocketed when he co-wrote
and starred in what would come to be
known as Edgar Wright’s three flavours
Cornetto trilogy do anything from the
show
Cora he thrived in sci-fi scenarios the
witty banter and an unassuming demeanor
following in a long line of British
comedic Surrealists know what I’m doing
change I didn’t have enough for the
multi-talented and magnetically charming
Simon Pegg has rightfully earned his
spot on our list and we’d like to give a
special shout out to his fellow cohort
in comedy Nick Frost I’m talking about
now I’m talking about the others lovers
the others the nwa have murdered number
5 Sacha Baron Cohen
booyakasha my name be Ali G and me is
straight out at the west side of Staines
back in 2003
you are either on board with HBO’s – Ali
G show or you were
to figure out what exactly was going on
oh look what we got here
oh don’t wait to get this from all right
he’s got Ronnie no I’ll put it in your
pocket and that’s the power of Sacha
Baron Cohen a man of multiple
personalities who’s always looking for a
new comedic angle so my name is Bruno I
was born in Klagenfurt I’m 19 years old
and of course you’re know me as the host
of funky side when the 2006 mockumentary
Borat hit theaters the average American
movie goer was still unfamiliar with
Baron Cohen’s style what is the best gun
to defend from a Jew that is unless you
were a die-hard fan of Talladega Nights
I have been following your career with
great interest to miss your baby with no
regard for social norms this Brit set
off to thoroughly shock the film
industry into submission and he
succeeded please don’t be worried to
effect I have an erection it is nothing
to do here Oh
number four Tina Fey you have the
boldness of a much younger woman
she set the standard for modern female
comics and pierced the political world
with her spot-on impression of Sarah
Palin
I think women everywhere can agree that
no matter your politics it’s time for a
woman to make it to the White House
while simultaneously working as the head
writer and Weekend Update anchor at
Saturday Night Live they branched out
into film with the 2004 hit Mean Girls
do you have anything you want to own up
to yes
no you never made up a rumor about
anybody before taking on another
creative challenge creating a little
show called 30 rock I thought you were
going to quit yeah well you don’t know
everything about me her ability to
connect with audiences through social
satire made her a star and through
ingenious writing and perseverance Tina
Fey has become one of the most powerful
comedy actors of the modern era
regardless of gender that’s how you
should dress for work by the way yeah if
I was president of the Philippines
number three Steve Carell I’m brick
Tamland people seem to like me because I
am polite and I’m rarely late this
straight-faced buffoon kicked off the
decade as a correspondent for The Daily
Show and following two iconic roles in
anchorman and the 40 year old virgin
Freddie yep whoa oh gosh so her mother
you pull nuts he was primed to star in
the American version of Ricky Gervais
stealing paper products here in Scranton
Pennsylvania as the slightly disturbing
yet lovable office manager Michael Scott
Carell excelled in the situation comedy
through masterful improvisations and a
knack for precise comedic timing um I
think that pretty much sums it up for
the entire decade he held down his
prestigious NBC role while
simultaneously becoming one of the most
versatile film actors of his generation
Rick where’d you get a hang her name
I don’t know number two Ben Stiller
Gaylord M Focker ya within a ten year
span this New Yorker has collaborated
with Robert De Niro multiple times
invented the blue steel pose and became
the leading man of a blockbuster
franchise saying your miniature silence
but Roman Empire knows no boundary
audiences love to watch his nervous
characters endure horrific scenarios
thanks to his magnificent blend of
deadpan and comedic humor how can we be
expected to teach children to learn how
to read if they can’t even fit inside
the building primarily a film actor
Stiller also managed to appear in
several episodes of the beloved
television series Arrested Development
thus solidifying him as one of America’s
favorite members of the frat pack oh and
we also have to thank him for serving as
a prime example of why you should never
go full well you know everybody knows
you never go full retard
what do you mean before we unveil our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions this isn’t a very great that
sounds horrible no it’s cute the crazy
guest who thinks he’s like a part of the
family’s gonna say inappropriate stuff
alright let me be the first to say
congratulations to you then you’re one
vagina for the rest of your life real
smart Frank but it worked it through I
got a surprise for you huh you know that
one scene in The Wizard of Oz when the
flying monkeys pull apart there’s a
character as it was like number one Will
Ferrell
I’m really really good how good I’ve
been called the songbird of my
generation unlike many of the other
comedians on this list Ferrell came to
comedy without a background in stand-up
but he definitely didn’t need one no no
no
oh no no I live with my mom oh yeah
you hungry hey MA we get some meatloaf
Ches I think I’m okay I had a bite right
before I came over
thank you here are the facts well
Farrell was the number one reason to
watch Saturday Night Live until 2002
because he was capable of making almost
any cast member break character with his
impressions original characters and
general crazy antics I gotta have more
cowbell don’t blow this forest Jean
could be convinced I sell the scene his
first big post SNL role in old school
has become mythical and his run of
late-2000s films could best be described
as a cinematic masterclass for
improvisational comics Frank Danny hey

streaking we’re going up through the
quad to the gymnasium he’s not your
typical method actor but he devotes
himself fully to ridiculously absurd
characters and we love him for it you
