My opion is that these are the top 5 funniest guys to be in show business........ But if I had to pick one I'll have to go with Martin. He's the orignal host of Def Comendy Jam that kept the laughs coming(Martin was the best thing that happened for that show), he has two classic stand ups(RunTelDat and to my opion the funniest stand up ever, You So Crazy), he had the funniest sitcom ever, The Martin Lawrence Show( this show alone makes me think he's funnier then the others, I believe his show is the best work he's ever done, every appisode kept you laughing.), he made some classic movies(Thin Line Between Love And Hate, Bad Boys 1 & 2, National Security, Big Momma's House, Nothing To Lose, Life, Blue Streak, & etc.), he's great at animation & going into characters, and he's known to be one of the best freestyle add-lipping comendians of all time(Everyone that works with him says Martin is great at add-lipping & at the end of a episode they showed outtakes of Martin add-lipping alot)

Pryor set the standard for all of today's comedians. He was the best of all time in my opinion. Murphy, Tucker, and Lawrence are all great, but Pryor was the greatest! And Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford was definitely great, but i didn't care to much for his standup routine.

I saw Redd Foxx in Vegas about 25 years ago. He brought the house down with his hilarious bawdy humor. He was surely one of the all time greats. Redd Foxx, who played Fred Sanford on the sitcom Sanford and son, died about 15 years ago on the set of another sitcom. Everyone present thought he was pretending as he often did on Sanford and Son.

I think the answer depends on your age... I was around when Sanford and Son was on tv and Richard Pryor was on an album that my parents would not allow me to listen to. Pryor is a front-runner in my opinion-paved the way for others so to speak. What about MoNique and the Queens, though. That was some funny sh**!

It's add-libbing. How could you leave Chris Rock off of this list? He is funnier than Martin. Fred Sandford's name is Redd Foxx.
