If you could bring one dead comedian back to life, who would it be?

Sam Kinnison.

Jesus
...no wait, God beat me to it.

Did you even read the post?

I'd like to see Dangerfield back in action.

Too many. Head hurts. :(

Probably Phil Hartman as his death was the most tragic. *nod*

Steve Martin

Eddie Murphy.

either one of the following:
Spike Milligan
Tommy Cooper
Billy T James

Did you even read the post?

I'd like to see Dangerfield back in action.

Yeah, it said "comedian". I read it. What's your point?

Bill Hicks.

Either Bill Hick or Willie Rushton.

Tough choice. Maybe Chris Farley or Mitch Hedburg. Those are the firs two that came to mind, I'm sure there's someone I'd like to bring back even more.

Sam Kinnison.

Agreed

The one...The only...Richard Pryor.

John Candy

Yeah I gota go with Bil Hicks or Richard Pryor!

Does John Ritter count? Or would he be more of an actor than comedian?

Well if not him, then the guy (Forget his name) from Caddy Shack. He was also Larry Burns in the Simpsons.

Tommy Cooper

[/thread]

Eddie Murphy.

Steve Martin

they're still alive.

I'd say chris farley.

Chris Farley, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield, or Jon Belushi.

It has got to be Spike Milligan. Whom else would place on their grave's headstone: "I told you I was ill". That man was a classic although maybe it's an English thing!

Steve Martin

Eddie Murphy.

Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are still alive.

Bill Hicks.

Either Bill Hicks or Willie Rushton.

Yeah I gota go with Bill Hicks or Richard Pryor!

Bill Hicks, the Holy Spirit of comedy.

Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are still alive.

That's debateable.

Harold Lloyd.
He was hardcore, not like the wuss puss celebrities you get these days.

Maybe Farley, maybe Candy, maybe the good Belushi.

Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are still alive.

maybe they thought the poster meant careers?

Charlie Chaplin.

Graham Chapman

Peter Sellers

Willy Millowitsch. Juat so people stop idolizing him.

Steve Martin

EH?



I say: Mitch Hedberg

Drunk Commies.

Tony Hancock, only not sure if that'sthe best idea but what the hell why not

Red Skelton or Bob Hope.

Both could be incredibly funny without one hint of a dirty joke.

Mitch Hedberg, in a second. He'd probably just take too many drugs again though.

Ah, three for Mitch. He'd be happy. <3

John Candy. Benny Hill.

Oddly enough, my mother once said "I think he died already." when we were watching a John Candy film on TV, and a few weeks later, he was dead. Happened at least 2 other times with other people too.:(

hmm Bill Murray's career

Mitch Hedberg.

I like an escalator, man, 'cause an escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator Temporarily Out of Order" sign, only "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the Convenience."


Farley?

* Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.

Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?

Ted Nelson, Customer: What's your point?

Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.

Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

Tommy: Because they know all they solda ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

[pause] Ted Nelson, Customer: Okay, I'll buy from you.

Tommy: Well, that's... What?


Dangerfield?

I told my doctor I wanted a vasectomy. He said, with a face like mine, I don't need one.


Pryor?

I'd like to die like my father died... My father died fucking. My father was 57 when he died. The woman was 18. My father came and went at the same time.


What you're asking isn't fair. :headbang:

Mitch though... his jokes just aren't nearly as funny if it isn't him saying them, and as a bonus, have some of this... http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mitch_Hedberg

Might as well bring back Walter Sedlmayr...

Excuse me, did you ever have another nation here?

Muffing is an intentional typo. DON'T YOU JUDGE ME!
