one particular jar of comedy this man
blurred the lines of laughter and drama
with his own expressive style of
performing bluegrass Kentucky bluegrass
Federman bench and Northern California
sensimilla born and raised in Chicago in
a family of artists Bill Murray had
already established his polished comedic
presence on SNL when he was cast as Carl
Spackler in Caddyshack and his success
in early 80s classics foreshadowed the
future drama Dee’s that would define his
career

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 machine 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 hey Eddie hey what the hell are

the quad to the gymnasium he’s not your
typical method actor but he devotes
himself fully to ridiculously absurd

between but when he did appear on camera
Brooks owned every minute and that’s how
you do it in show business well

a Pinto
I’m sorry sir we’re going after sir
number seven the Marx Brothers
I will come you with open all is that so
I’ll let you stay open Chico Harpo
Groucho these three men changed the face
of comedy in the United States at a time
when Hollywood was still mostly an idea
born and raised in the Big Apple to
Jewish immigrants the brothers toured
America as a vaudeville act and
transitioned from their emphasis on
singing to a hysterical focus on comedy
gonna be a shame yourself when you hear
that story are you taller to me oh yes I
remember
upon commanding the stages of Broadway
with their freeform style you expecting
somebody yes the Marx Brothers signed
with Paramount Studios and films like a
Night at the Opera and Duck Soup became
defining pieces of work in a blossoming
industry I’m a man oh you would I’m a
man of one where it’s grand number six
Eddie Murphy Jesus Christ in a time when
veteran white actors were displaying
their comedic expertise on Saturday
Night Live a teenaged african-american
comic from Brooklyn became the shining
star
characters like buckwheat and mr.
Robinson opened up a cultural dialogue
in America while simultaneously reviving
the NBC show uh ties be tired of me and
when Eddie Murphy left to pursue a film
career
behold city life real life his balls-out
style of comedy made him one of the most
successful stars of the 80s you know
when I am I’m your worst fucking
nightmare man who would have as I mean I
got the mission to kick your fuckin ass
whenever I feel like he connected with
audiences by highlighting taboo subjects
and successfully transferred his
stand-up act to the big screen yo they
know I was a ventriloquist to his
success would continue through the 90s
and 2000’s and he’s still a major
comedic actor today it’s me in this body
my god you ate the princess can you hear
me
don’t listen keep breathing no janitor
number five Peter Sellers Hey Dude Gator
over ten years after first appearing in
the career-making role of the bumbling
Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther
Peter Sellers reprised his iconic role
twice during the 70’s and displayed what
it meant to truly be a comedic genius
but sort of stupid question is that are
you blind
yes
I see yeah yeah from the walk to the
talk sellers always brought a unique
identity to his characters and he book
ended his Pink Panther roles with
equally extravagant performances in the
optimists of nine elms.young winston
sellers found a way to sell every aspect
of his performance through extraordinary
preparation and a natural gift for
comedy seen it done before
in a film on television as won’t hurt at
all and it did hurt number four
Robin Williams already a comedic legend
by 1990 this intellectual whirlwind
brought unrivaled originality and energy
to each and every role I have a hard-on
for you the size of Florida one of the
busiest actors of the decade Robin
Williams challenged both himself and
audiences with drama Dee’s like the
Fisher King and patch Adams either way
I’ll probably still be viewed as a thorn
I promise you one thing I am a thorn
that will not go away while going all
out with pure comedies like mrs.
Doubtfire and the birdcage you do an
eclectic celebration of advance you do
fussy fussy fussy you do Mata Graham
Martha Graham Martha Graham but it was
in 1997 when he teamed up with a couple
of aspiring filmmakers by the names of
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck that he
produced one of the finest performances
of the decade Nayland while they’re
vulnerable
that’s my motto a role tinged with a
little drama a little comedy and tons of
heart that earned him an Academy Award
look at me son
it’s not your fault No
number three Buster Keaton long before
he became known as the great stone face
a child named Joseph Keaton performed
for his father’s traveling vaudeville
show which was cooperated by Harry
Houdini just over 15 years later a
chance encounter with Fatty Arbuckle led
the seasoned performer to Hollywood and
the persona of Buster Keaton was born
his directorial innovations were
legendary but his straight-faced brand
of humor made him the most famous
American comic of his day part magician
part stunt guy and part leading man
Keaton transcended the perceived
possibilities of film before the
existence of talkies we undoubtedly owe
a lot to Buster and his blistering
routines
number two Jim Carrey thank you thank
you too much
after a few lukewarm big screen
performances in the 80s this innovative
Canadian reinvigorated his screen
presence by joining forces with the
Wayans family on in living color and all
hell broke loose in the world of comedy
because there was a new sheriff in town
with surreal characters like fire
marshal bill Carey transferred that
boundless energy and creativity to
cinema soon enough that’s a lovely
accent you have New Jersey Austria
Austria well
g’day mate with hits like Dumb and
Dumber Ace Ventura and Liar Liar carries
charisma was impossible to ignore
and with each remaining year of the
decade he cemented himself further as
one of the most bankable comedy actors
of the 90s everybody’s been real nice
well that’s because you have big jugs I
mean your boobs are huge
I mean I want to squeeze them before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions Steve Maja’s just
don’t do something shit there that is
laughs class to Smith you may go

100 billion dollar and the medic gets
out and says oh my god
new guys in the corner puking his guts
out how can we be expected to teach
children to learn how to read if they
can’t even fit inside the building
number one Charlie Chaplin’s in 1913
this man was already a notable British
performer when he arrived in America but
nobody knew that he was about to
revolutionize the business side of
Hollywood and the art of filmmaking with
his down-and-out character named the
Tramp Charlie Chaplin found a way to
emotionally connect with audiences while
simultaneously lifting their spirits his
roles were tinged with vulnerability and
as the years passed his political
consciousness proved just how powerful a
muted voice could be Mexican painter
insane afresh mitts didn’t mine a Latina
we got Stefan de strappin see Stefan
even when sound trumped the idea of
silent cinema Chaplin continued to work
on his own terms well into the 1950s
Chaplin is the first the last the
everything when it comes to modern
comedy
