    Hair loss advert? Ok this is funnier than all the clips of the stand up

    It was like a tampax advert for slapheads.

    I was hoping for a different no.1, just to mix things up a little. Note to self : Don't watch the next top 100, it will be the same.

    That "Audience with" special Connolly did for ITV in the 80s is still one of the funniest sets any comic has done anywhere.

    I knew he would win again; but for some reason the demon of optimism hoped I was wrong...

    ...I find it unbelievable that people think this is the funniest man alive :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Its all subjective, but how the hell did Michael Mcintyre make the top ten?
    That Scouse bloke with the teeth & the quiff is funnier than him.

    Totally agree.

    He must have/still be doing something right, his younger peers are crediting him with paving the way.

    I agree with them, he emerged during the age of Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson, and the more family friendly comics, but offered something totally different. In the UK at least there was no one like him.

    He can still be controversial and his material is never repetative. And he has never fallen into the trap of over exposure on tv like todays most popular stand ups.

    These list always mix current popularity and confuse it with greatness.

    Russell Howard higher than Jackie Mason? Yeah, right.

    I ashamed to admit I haven't heard about some of the American's comedians some of the people on here have mention, but having give them a quick listen they seem great, definitely will look into them more.

    Jackie Mason is well worth a look if you haven't seen him.

    Very funny guy.

    Sh!t- I've lobbed a TV from the third floor and my neighbours are banging on the door whilst I'm pretty sure that police siren is for me...

    ...anyone know a decent solicitor or will I need the Duty Solicitor I used in 2007? :(:o

    I have heard of him before this list, I was mainly referring to people who didn't make the list but posters on here mention them.

    Not a massive fan of Mason from the little I have seen, he was great in the simpsons though.

    I take it all these people saying 'I can't believe [insert name of young comedian] is higher than [insert name of old comedian]' are actually old themselves and remember the 'good old days' and are feeling nostalgic and getting upset that someone new is better than their old favourite.

    It was dire. The list has no order at all - I half expected to see the likes of Dawn French at number one or something. Lenny Henry appearing in a top 100 was the funniest part of the show!
