Chevy Chase

Chevy Chase is a good one, but my opinion is tainted knowing how much of a jerk he is in real life.

Oh, and I probably should have put down Nick Offerman as one of my Honorable Mentions. After all, he was IMO the actor portraying damn near the best comic character in the history of television.

Jim Carey

 

[Cheesewater]

I know sometimes he's over the top but...

Jack Black - School of Rock and High Fidelity

 

[AZ Native]

Robin Williams.

 

[cardncubfan]

Tim Conway. He's a comedic genius.

I thought we had a thread for comedy duo?? I dunno, cant find it.

not a duo, but I saw a show the other day that brought some pretty funny shows back to memory...

The Bowery Boys..

Man when I was a kid I used to watch these guys every saturday afternoon.... clean comedy...rare, very hard to find in the modern world.

this clip isnt actually much for funny but it gives a basic feel for the type of movies... The Bowery boys were kinda like if the little rascals were all grown up...
