anytime they’re the kings and queens of
modern comedy welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 comedy actors of the
2010s
seek see every every kind of spot for
this list we’re scouring Hollywood
history to find the funniest comedic
actors who ever graced a screen we’ve
got me yeah yeah we’re gonna do our best
alright gonna do a test run yeah you got
a screw in let’s hit the screen oh we’re
focusing on performers from both feature
films and television but have decided to
exclude talk-show hosts and voice actors
this is part of a series of videos
spanning the decades do I really laugh
like that number 10 Bill Hader New York
lattice Club is
this Tulsa Oklahoma native studies the
arts in Arizona before taking his act to
LA and a chance encounter with Will and
Grace’s Megan Mullally set the stage for
an audition at Saturday Night Live I
drew up my wife’s at birth control pills
last night I said this is not your
decision we laughed and she cried with
an ability to channel older performers
Bill Hader typically appears wise beyond
his years however it was his NYC guru
Stefon that reached a younger
demographic I’m sorry for those of us
who know what is a human r2d2 when a
midget on rollerskates dials a
speakerphone and he put a garbage can
over their head slowly but surely the
Impressionist has accumulated an
impressive list of film credits and in
2012 Peter became the first SNL
performer to earn an Emmy nomination for
Outstanding Supporting Actor since Eddie
Murphy accomplished the feat in 1984
July will celebrate with a bang
wait ho I’m in too late
number nine Danny McBride you can easy
baby it could get after appearing in a
handful of films throughout the 2000s
this foul-mouthed bad boy stepped into
the shoes of one Kenny Powers the
outlandish magnificent lowlife on HBO’s
eastbound and down Atlanta you’re
freaking out Kenny Powers now a free
agent in 2013 McBride stole the show in
the comedy collaboration this is the end
where his character not only tried to
survive the apocalypse but also the
wrath of a frazzle James Franco all in
all Danny McBride has long been one of
the most underrated comedic stars of
Hollywood and he shows no signs of
stopping I’m trying to decide how stoned
I am and just how like on the verge of
death am i right now is like I’m I like
seeing shit because I’m stout or because
I like have no blood left one shot like
seven times yeah number eight Melissa
McCarthy that’ll work unless you were an
ardent watcher of Gilmore Girls or
Samantha who this powerhouse performer
probably took you by surprise in Paul
figs 2011 classic bridesmaids he’s not
I’m not with him
alright I’m glad he’s single because I’m
gonna climb that like a tree as the
blunt in bold Megan Price Melissa
McCarthy produced several cringe-worthy
moments that naturally made her the next
big thing in comedy hey not Air Marshal
John you want to get back in that
restroom and not rest no I have to get
back to my seat yeah you gotta get back
on my seat as a former member of the LA
comedy troupe The Groundlings she can
hold her own alongside any seasoned
veteran which she’s made hysterically
clear in numerous action comedies and of
course she began starring in her own CBS
sitcom in 2010 Molly
but there’s haha comedy and then there’s
Melissa McCarthy cried till you hurt
comedy I don’t have that problem number
7 Kevin Hart who was out thank you
something knows he’s always been
lingering in the background but in the
early part of the decade this
observational comic transformed into a
legitimate Hollywood star arguably one
of the busiest men in show business
Kevin Hart has nabbed
election of roles as the best friend
that will serve up the truth in his own
unique way his dialogue is short and
sweet and it typically ends with someone
being crowned is your boy yeah that’s my
boy
we wrapped the same smart fit you just
got fucked up with him both y’all is
gonna get clapped up when I get back
both y’all upon years of paying his dues
the Philly comic finally earned a list
status with starring roles in right
along the Wedding ringer and get hard
intelligent and perseverant Kevin Hart
continues to find new ways to entertain
that’s your plan yes all I’m saying is
that when life puts a dick in your mouth
you make dickade decade doesn’t sound
like a significant improvement over dick
okay bottom line James I know what I’m
talking about
number six Michael Cera who took my
Kim’s cell phone man who is Michael Cera
will according to his performance in
this is the end
he’s one of Hollywood’s most badass
dudes o leary how about you did you ever
see a psychiatrist
debatable but he’s certainly one of the
strongest comedic performers of the
decade women gush over his lovable ways
and men identify with his outsider
characters which makes mr. Serra a rare
type of box office draw
his films haven’t exactly broken the
bank yet he remains an in-demand
performer thanks to his situational
comedic skills so what can I got you is
there anywhere you don’t work
they’re called jobs something of a
Pollak you would know anything about
whether he’s playing a desperate virgin
and his alter ego and Youth in Revolt or
the valiant yet socially awkward Scott
Pilgrim his brand of humor always hits
home cold contemptuous of Authority and
irresistible to women
number five Zach Galifianakis that’s
supposed to be done by a registered
nurse I’m a nurse she’s not registered
here’s a guy that’ll make you scratch
your head and rewatch every one of his
films a second and third time okay
thanks papa
bye-bye that was my dad I’m gonna stay
at home son truly an acquired taste the
characters of Zach Galifianakis are
deadpan heroes that stand tall in the
face of adversity in other words they do
stupid things to make everybody feel
better at least temporarily never say
anything bad about the Jews and to tell
an interesting story he’ll make you bust
a gut laughing while remaining slightly
creepy but Galifianakis always manages
to let the audience experience something
wholly original well that’s me I’m just
masturbating what why salad go to sleep
number four Amy Poehler oh hey yeah of
course hi
thank you while this staple of SNL has
plenty of film roles to her name she’s
undoubtedly one of the definitive stars
of Network sitcoms Oh I’m Sandra Dee
O’Connor
get it Sandra D+ Sandra Day O’Connor for
7 outstanding seasons Amy Poehler earned
a loyal following as Leslie Knope of
Parks and Recreation and her wink of the
eye humor and blistering comedic timing
thoroughly enraptured adoring fans it
seems only right that we make this
journey one final time she’s perfectly
capable of playing the straight woman or
the stooge and it’s this comedic
flexibility that makes her one of the
most cherished performers of today Jerry
come and celebrate no thanks well
everybody let’s get back to work
number three Seth Rogen are you our new
neighbors we’re your new neighbors
his name is synonymous with Mary Jane
and he managed to have a little
rendezvous with North Korea it is what
you want there you like it you like it
just three years after donning an
ill-fitting green suit as the Green
Hornet Seth Rogen became the central
figure of an international conspiracy
regarding the fictional death of Kim
jong-un Seth that’s a better performance
you give it in your last six movies
where the was that in Green Hornet huh
and with such a cultural emphasis on the
interview alone along with his love for
the bomb the mainstream has paid less
attention to comedic gems like this is
the end and fifty-fifty that would have
been a good idea
we paid someone using a balls trimmers
instead of going to a bar I never washed
them ever
he’s a writer he’s a director and a
Canadian master of stoner realism that’s
not my balls it’s my asshole okay you’re
not joking
number two Kristen Wiig I’m not with
anybody I’m here solo along with Bill
Hader this screwball performer made
Saturday Night Live a must watch from
2005 to 2012 some Sega I’ll bring some
California grabs for us to sha but like
her fellow actress Melissa McCarthy it
was a role in bridesmaids that elevated
her stardom to the next level I just
feel like I’m excited and I feel relaxed
and I’m ready to party
with a style steeped in deadpan and
absurdist humor Kristen Wiig has earned
her place as one of the most respected
performers of modern comedy with her
endearing presence and slightly insane
on-screen personas
there are not many established actresses
that will drop everything to make a
serious lifetime quick but Kristen Wiig
did such a thing in 2015 see when I tell
you very smart
we’ve all been wigging out for years
thanks to her inventive comedic ways
I’ve only kissed people in my dreams so
I’ve only kissed a tiny dragon and a
woman with her hair on fire before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
and I order a glass of chardonnay and in
a 911 like twist they didn’t have any
they offered you are not my wife and we
are not a family all right
this is a job we are not the Brady Bunch
I don’t know why God gave us 10 fingers
cuz he’s only gonna need three get a go
get a plan and get up off your ass
there’s a bearded devil you liked it you
you smiling me when a hell up the bag of
marshmallows because I like marshmallows
you psych out you say only hear what I
want to
number one Jonah Hill hope you wearing a
condom because I have a dirty mind when
it comes to unforgettable comedy actors
there are performers that leave enduring
imprints through minor characters while
others tend to make their mark through
leading roles it’s me Jonah Hill from
Moneyball
Jonah Hill is a comic that is managed to
transcend lowbrow typecasting to reach
larger audiences through a touch of
realism and situational comedy Steve
Academy award-nominated performances in
Moneyball and the wolf of wallstreet
earned him a larger following and while
this list isn’t about individual Awards
it’s become increasingly clear that
Jonah Hill can slay any type of comedic
scenario while still managing to bring a
little humanity to his characters what’s
funny to you guys do you agree with our
list who’s your favorite comedy actor of
the 2010s let me say one thing cousin
