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.:)

Must have missed the comedy in that one... plus I could
never believe his wife was that hot when he was an old
bastard in a crap jumper.

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.

Richard Pryor was in Superman 3, not 2. just to clear that
up :)

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).
