While Adam Sandler is just one of the better versions of the typical crude and juvenile comics, a character who acts like a jerk to screw with people and gets away with it safe and easy, Jim Carrey never stops finding innovative ways to go above and beyond. He's willing to go over the top and push limits to make the biggest impression he can, and he's not just assuming that more = better; he actually has the timing and the acting skills to fit everything he does into his characters.
Sometimes he's not for everyone, including people who like their comedy typical and easy, and occasionally the chances he takes are bad ones, but where other comedians are at the mercy of a bad script, Jim Carrey makes even his weakest movies more watchable. His energy can be enough to carry the whole show.
Adam Sandler, is very talented, he has a different laid back approach to comedy which I enjoy very much. On the other hand no one can compete with Jim Carrey when it comes to his roles; a complete roller coaster ride. I enjoy both actors very much but, the winner if talking about energetic crazy and funny entertainment is Jim Carrey.
His facial expressions really bring out the humor in movies he is apart of. Not to mention his actions are hilarious as well. I appreciate this actor for how much he makes me smile. I can imagine a line of people saying the same joke and I would be dying in laugher once I see Jim Carrey saying it. He is special.
Right on the money! Even in high school his teachers would leave Jim stand up in front of the classroom to do skits he created...all his teachers instantly knew Jim was special...such a very talented diversity he can do its unbelievable...great choice...Carrey rocks!
Adam Richard Sandler is an American actor, comedian, screenwriter, and film producer. After becoming a Saturday Night Live cast member, Sandler went on to star in many Hollywood feature films that combined have grossed over $2 billion at the box office. Truly enjoy his movie very funny actor. Big Daddy so funny and music I enjoy. On movie. Yes other enjoy one golf. Was greatest movie. One my favorte actor. Enjoy music on movies sure bring back 1980s songs. Styxs and many other. I give A plus thank you.
When Adam Sandler has the right role and the right movie, it is the funniest thing possible. Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison and Big Daddy are perfect examples of this.
Defiantly one of the funniest actors ever! Especially billy Madison that's one of my favorites. But now he is in some really annoying movies with stupid Disney as.
Adam Sandler is hilarious, but I do believe that he should be here in no. 2, because all his funniest movies were in the 90s, while Jim Carrey has been constistently funny his whole career.
John William "Will" Ferrell is an American actor, comedian, producer, and writer. He first established himself in the mid-1990s as a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. Will Farrell has to be the most funniest person alive! He knows what to say and and how to say it at the right times. He has stared in many amazing movies like elf, Talladega Nights and anchorman but for me nothing compares to him in Step Brothers.
Will Farrell should be #1 on this list. Really, Adam Sandler got more votes than he did? Watch Will Ferrell in any interview, he is just as hilarious without a script, and outstanding at improvisational comedy.
Will Ferrell is a LEGEND. He has the funniest quotes. I wish he was in austin powers longer. Every scene he was in in that movie was hilarious. I was extremely disappointed when he died so early.
Jim CArry and Adam sandler are funny for the younger audience. Will Ferrell is the man for all age groups and genders. He is the best, all the movies he came on as a cameo, that wiould be the funniest scene in the movie.
William James "Bill" Murray is an American actor, comedian, and writer. He first gained exposure on Saturday Night Live, for which he earned his first Emmy Award and later went on to star in comedy films, including Meatballs, Caddyshack, Stripes, Tootsie, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Scrooged, What About Bob? William James Murray may not be in all the best movies, sometimes his jokes aren't always the best, and yes, he looks like he is in need of a good nap but damn what he does right goddamn it he does it right that my vote goes to him.
I can't believe no one else has commented on Bill Murray yet. The GOAT gotta love the man just check the resume: Ghostbusters, Stripes, Caddyshack, Groundhog's Day, Scrooged... The list goes on and on. The biggest and funniest smart-ass in the history of man kind. Everything this man says makes you feel like you're in on an inside joke you have to love this man.
Check me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers there gonna lock me up and throw away the key.
Best
And funniest jim carrey is funny but bill Murray super funny

Starting as a stand-up comedian in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, he is credited with leading San Francisco's comedy renaissance. He died in 2014. He was a great and funny man.

How did Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler and Will Ferrel went to the Top 3? They aren't funny!

Dan in real life
Crazy, stupid love
And of course his role of Michael Scott in the office!
He pulls off this funny yet lovable awkwardness time and time again, and even without this awkward persona, seems generally funny and positive to begin with. Hard to hate. He's done a great job in The Anchorman
I love his role in the office, he is one of my favorite actors, I mean like, who hates this guy, his movies are super halarius.

Sacha Noam Baron Cohen is an English actor, comedian, and screenwriter. A graduate of Christ's College, Cambridge, Baron Cohen is most widely known for creating and playing five fictional characters: Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, Brüno Gehard, Admiral General Aladeen and Nobby Butcher. This is the man who actually harassed people in his movies and shows and got away with it with the help of his ability to get inside a character. And this is a guy you can call "hilarious as hell". He always takes comedy to an extreme level in his performance.
Waiting for his next appearance on the screen.
What the hell this guy is incredible! My personal favourite comedian is not on that list, it's a beverage and it's carrot juice.
How can you not put Borat and The Dictator on top 10?
This guy's only on #11? Disappointed to be honest.
Stephen Glenn "Steve" Martin is an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, playwright, author, and musician. Martin came to public notice in the 1960s as a writer for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and later as a frequent guest on The Tonight Show. Why does everyone hate the pink panther?

Smart and dumb funny

Black is the lead vocalist of the comedic rock group Tenacious D, which he formed in 1994 with friend Kyle Gass. They have released the albums Tenacious D, The Pick of Destiny and Rize of the Fenix.
