"How the hell"

is Mike Myers considered funnier than Mel Brooks?

And Ed Murphy funnier than Bob Monkhouse?
These stupid professionals know nothin.

Where was Spike Milligan on the list?
I would have thought he'd be held quite highy among other comics.

There was a documentary about their more explicit act, Derek and Clive last night.
I'd only heard some of Peters tamer material before, but I thought the
D&C stuff was hilarious, but I don't think it is to everyones taste. I might check out ebay for some of their recordings.

As for reccomendations, the clips from the Ad Nauseum record seemed some of the funniest.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh, I get it - you're being comedic? Very clever.

Wait...no, you're not. You're serious.
Oh my good lord.

Where the hell was Lee Evans in that list?

Rightfully 5 times funnier than anyone in that program.

Except for John Cleese. Only 2 times funnier than Cleese.

yeah, but you suck.

Spaceballs was appalling.

The only thing I can really remember laughing at was the Alien spoof.

You're right.

JOint best film eva.

Peter Cook
John Cleese
Eric Morcambe
Woody Allen
Groucho Marx

That's the top 5 (or something like it), all very funny people. Good to see Hicks up high too, not high enough for my liking though.

Can't say I've ever gone out of my way to listen to too much Peter Cook to be honest. Any recommendations? Think there might be some Pete and Dud records downstairs come to think of it.

But then look at Spaceballs.

I hope no-one noticed that.....
