As it often is with comedians and comedic actors, you either love him or you hate him.
So what do you think of the following?(not all of them are my favourites)
Bill Murray Bill Cosby John Cleese Richard Pryor George Carlin Jim Carrey Mike Myers Robin Williams Chris Rock

Murray: i just saw "What About Bob?" and i think he's a natural.
Cosby: family man, good-hearted. Cleese: despite his age, he still has his wits in tact. Pryor: never heard of him Carlin: ... Carrey: wacky guy in early 90s but it seems he's mellowed out a bit.
Myers: i'm not sure what he's been up to since Goldmember, but i still get a pretty good laugh from his acts.
Williams: comedian turned Noir Star. however, he's supposedly done entirely ad-lib in recent stand-ups.
Rock: all i think about him is his crazy voice.

Bill Murray: one of my favourite actors Bill Cosby: 'Tell Bill I said have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up!' - Eddie Murphy doing an impression of Richard Pryor
John Cleese: Moderately funny Richard Pryor: Haven't seen much of him, funny as an actor, must've been a good comedian to inspire Eddie Murphy
George Carlin: Who? Jim Carrey: Hilarious in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, not seen much else with him in, would like to see The Truman Show
Mike Myers: Meh Robin Williams: Very witty, some shite films under his belt though
Chris Rock: Over-americanized humour, although some of it I like..

Bill Murray - GOD Bill Cosby - kinda enjoyed the Cosby Show, but wasn't a regular viewer. He's irrelevant now.
John Cleese - hasn't done anything good in decades but Monty Python and 'Flowery Twats' assures his comedic immortaility.
Richard Pryor - sad genius. George Carlin - never seen him, but what I've read is excellent.
Jim Carrey - only as good as the script he's given. Can work magic.
Mike Myers - Austin Powers is one of the great comedy creations and he probably influenced an entire generation with Waynes World.
Robin Williams - Hit and miss, but the direction he's taken lately is to be welcomed. Captain, my captain.
Chris Rock - not seen much of him, but what I have seen has been sometimes crap, sometimes funny as fuck.

Rat Race is one very bad bad bad film. Noone couldn't of save it, not even John Cleese.
And i have to agree with the poster who said he's done nothing but crap for the last 20 years.
Still love him though.:)

i just got a signed bill murray photograph the other week -- he's my favourite comic actor -- and also, he's a really good actor, whether being cast in a comedy or not.

everyone needs to see bill cosby's actual standup and not the cosby show, in order to enjoy him. i bought a tape of his act and it was hillarious. the first thing he talks about is pot smoking

I think Bill Cosby can be good when he wants to, even though he's weared out his welcome over the years for me.

all i really have to say about robin williams is that he pretty much sucks ass. kevin spacey does his serious roles better. robin's not funny, he's annoying. and he doesn't know how to pick a movie to be in (try something less shitty than insomnia).
