They say that laughter is the best medicine. We all need to laugh every now and then. But we can't laugh without somebody else giving us that reaction. So many have graced that stage, our screens, our computers: Some have different traits and characistics that make them different from others, different styles. Some leave us sitting on our hands, while others make our sides hurt, with tears running down our faces.

We all have our different opinions on who is the greatest of all time. The question is, who can most people agree on being the master of the punchline, the ruler of the one liner, the most hilarious joker of them all?

Male, Female, whatever: We're doing this tournament style.

As long as I can type their name into a search engine and find a video on them, anybody is acceptable.

Alright, with all the repeats removed, there's 43 people on the list thus far, so I guess I will start the first round at 64.

Anybody who has previously nominated people can nominate a couple more that are not on the list if they want.
