Greatest Comedian of All Time??

[Crimson Velvet]

Most of you probably don't how him, but I have to go for Otto Jespersen. If any of you have heard of him, it's probably because he burned an american flag on air.

 

[MFJ]

Yes, that is probably why... but now my interest has peaked...

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Otto Jespersen: Proud, white and difficult.


He's so great...

Ayeka, you haven't seen the original Excellent Adventure movie? must. get. now.

maybe Carlin was less than stellar because his role wasn't comedic, he essentially was like a guide from the future who helped bill and ted use the time-travelling phone booth to collect their historical figures (Joan of Arc, Billy the Kid, Napoleon, Socrates (So-craytes , Genghis Khan) for the oral report they needed to pass to keep Ted out of military school.

that movie combined with Fast Times at Ridgemont High were easily the most hilarious movies from the mid eighties.

Fuck yeah I know Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! That film was my summer three years ago, I just didn't know what Carlin was Rufus! Damn, he's a good guitarist

Jerry Sadowitz! Unrepentantly offensive, very funny and also one of the best close-hand magicians in the world.

Sample line?

"Everybody hates me... I could be locked in a room full of Downs Syndrome kids and still come away without a hug..."

Jim Norton is pretty unruly:
