Again, my own random picks. Sam Kinison, Don Imus, etc., aren't on here because they're jerks. Gallagher, Carrot Top, etc., because they aren't funny.

Ricky Gervais is the funniest comedian I have ever seen, surpassing even Jasper Carrott

Really? Ricky Gervais just makes me want to punch the TV, I find him such a frustrating, smug git. Jasper Carrott is pretty awesome though.
Anyways, my all-time favourite comedian is Bill Bailey. His standup is utterly amazing, I can totally reccommend it.

I voted Charlie Chaplin, but I think he is about equal with Bill Hicks (even though they are two completely different types of comedians)

That's because he is a shitty stand-up. The only reason he is a even mediocre at best on the Daily Show is because of his writers!

yeah rowan atkinson is hillarious

For sheer humor, check out the Three Stooges in The Brideless Groom:
"Hold hands you love-birds!"
"You're not going to hit a lady with that? Here, use this, it's bigger!"
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
Robin Williams. My God. How has this thread gone 2 pages without someone mentioning him?

ross noble, bill hicks, jack dee, jasper carrott, bill bailey, peter kay, omid djalili, jimmy carr and tommy cooper all left off your list. Tut tut tut

The best ever:
Rowan Atkinson,
David Jason,
Phil Jupitus,
John Cleese,
Ronnie Barker,
Peter Kay.
I will CRUSH anyone who disagrees!
He nicks other peoples jokes, that's why
"Nicks"? Sorry. I'm not familiar with the term. Slang for "steals"? Hope not, since that would be completely false. A large part of his comedy is improv... add to that the fact that he's one of the few comedians who can do stand-up, as well as comedic acting.
