What actually makes a comedian funny is usually left open for interpretation by the audience, everyone laughs at different things. What these comedians have in common though is the fact that at one point or another everyone has laughed at something they have said. From the old school to the new school(excluding Richard Pryor- we all know he’s a genius) these men embody character, jokes, and charisma. Their humor is unrated, raunchy, raw and humorous, they spare no victims and hit all topics.

If we threw one specific subject in the air and listened to what each comedian said about it, who would come out on top as the funniest?

Here’s the ratings:
LOL- Laughed out loud
LMAO- Laughed my a** off
LMFAO- Laughed my f*cking a** off 
ROTFLMAO-Rolled on the floor laughing my a** off

Here’s the lineup:

picture-181

Eddie Murphy,Katt Williams,Tracy Morgan,Kevin Hart,Mike Epps,Bernie Mack,Dave Chappelle,Martin Lawrence,Jamie Foxx,Chris Rock

And the topic is…Women

10.Tracy Morgan- LOL

9. Kevin Hart-LOL

8. Mike Epps-LOL

7.Katt Williams-LMAO

6.Eddie Murphy-LMAO

5. Jamie Foxx-LMAO

4.Bernie Mac-LMAO

3.Chris Rock-LMFAO

2.Martin Lawrence-LMFAO

1.Dave Chappelle-ROTFLMAO

Martin and Dave Chappelle hit it on the head. Not only were their skits hilarious, they were true. Like the great Richard Pryor, they took personal experiences and put them on a platter for everyone to eat up. So there you have it, one topic, nine comedians, and one winner.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Arrielle2007/ Arrielle2007

    You are missing so many people. Where the hell is Richard Pryor and Steve Harvey and a bunch of other A-list Black Comedians? Inconsistent list.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Da_J_Rok/ Da_J_Rok

    Kevin Hart…sumbody need to “remix” this list cause it aint jammin

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/browneyes79/ browneyes79

    Ok now wait a minute. Katt Williams should definitely be in the top two. Sorry, but Dave Chappelle is not funny to me. He would be at the bottom of the list, with the others brought forth. Wow. Yeah, this list needs to be done over.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/browneyes79/ browneyes79

    Oh yeah, definitely Cedric the Entertainer. Not only is he talented, but I have to represent my people from St. Louis. What about Steve Harvey? What a sad list!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blknmild101/ blknmild101

    How in the hell can u xclude Richard Pryor? What kind of list is this?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/babytonnie/ babytonnie

    What kind of list is this? Where is Richard Pryor, Steve Harvey, Corey Holcomb, Red Foxx, Eddie Griffin…who made this list? Jamie Foxx? Really?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Brooklynbadboy/ Brooklynbadboy

    If this is for current comedians , it would explain why Richard pryor and Red foxx are not on here .. this list is not bad but i would replace mike epps with cedric the entertianer jusr cuz mike epps is funny in movies but his standup aint all that and ya should add eddie griffin and make it an even Ten.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LalaFeb24/ LalaFeb24

    I Agree THis List needs to b changed ASAP Cause Kevin Hart is a CLassic LOLZ

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BIGKEWDAWG/ BIGKEWDAWG

Why did you put down 10 black comedians that most white people would care about ? Eddie Griffin , Steve Harvey , Cedric the Entertainer would kill tracy morgan , kevin hart , mike epps , in any kind of stand-up battle you could come up with ! Mr. Murphy , Mr. Foxx are in the moives now /
    Mr. Rock , Mr. Lawrence have not seen them for a while / Mr. Chapelle is working for ” THE MAN ” or so I hear / Mr. Williams is just pimpin pimpin pimpin , now that is ROTFFLMAO { rolling on the f*@~ing floor laughing my azs off HA ha HOLLA at your boy

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/VeeMack/ VeeMack

    As far as stand up, Chris Rock is the best in stand up and he can make any subject funny. He is always great in interviews and keeps up with current affairs. He is number one to me. I watched his shows over and over. Very good comedy. Katt Williams would be number two. Dave is okay.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SoularFlarez/ SoularFlarez

    Richard Pryor
    Paul Mooney
    Redd Foxx
    Robin Harris (bebe’s kids)
    Chris Rock

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2good2bsingle/ 2good2bsingle

    I don’t care for Dave Crappelle very much, but everyone else on this list is good with me (with the exception of Tracy Morgan). To me, a GOOD comedian is one who’s funny with or without cussing. Crappelle’s love for the ‘N’ word bothers me to an extent. I know that other comedians that I like also use that word, but at least THEY ARE FUNNY! I don’t hate the guy, but a fan of his, I am not. I also agree that Eddie Griffin, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx & Cedric the Entertainer should be added to this roster! ;-)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlackModelingAgency/ BlackModelingAgency

    Just using this list that they gave Eddie Murphy, Bernie Mac, Martin & Chris Roc (minus his annoying ass high pitched voice). All the rest are funny in movies or TV skits but as comedians they have a few one liners here & there but nothing like Eddie, Bernie, Martin & Chris who dominated the late 80′s & 90′s comedy scene

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Husband_and_Wifey/ Husband_and_Wifey

    Whoever thinks that Dave isnt funny or number 1 is a f**king idiot and stupid as s**t and arent funny themselves and dont know how to classify or anyalyze true comedy and only like people who tells those sterotypical “black jokes” and dont travel outside the box ant touch on everything from politics to cutural phenominons like Dave does…People like Martin, Kat, Mike, Bernie, Steve etc. only tell those same “black jokes” over and over again while Dave is different because of his intelligence and ability to get outside of that small ghetto box.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/im_n_motion816/ im_n_motion816

    you fools got it backwards….whoever says dave chappelle isnt funny, obviously isnt intelligent enough to understand his comedy, and chris rock has never been funny…then somebody mentioned steve harvey should be on here??? are u fckn kiddin me? lmao!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gods_chosenman/ Gods_chosenman

    For me its a tie between Mike Epps and Kevin Hart. Lets be real…we should be talking about the new generation of black comedians. Jamie hasnt done standup in almost a decade. Neither has Martin, Eddie was funny ten years ago and Tracy, Eddie and Ced. have all moved onto movies almost strictly…really the only competition as far as stand up is chris rock. Oh and Im sorry Kat williams had a nice little run (until he went crazy). I also think Affion crocckett is a funny up and coming comedian.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BettyBoopVA2TX/ BettyBoopVA2TX

    i LOVE em all but Katt Williams is PLAYED now (sorry fans but its true get over it). He had a nice lil run but his days are up. And Mike Epps is funny but not hilarious to the point i’d watch him all day. They shud add DERAY DAVIS up here tho. Now ol’boy is dumb funny no one can deny that. And Eddie Murphy?…..uhmmmmmm he hasnt been standup funny since Delirious.

    And CHRIS ROCK musta made this list and add himself bcuz AINT NO WAY IN HELL he’s a top funny comedian. NO WAY!! lol.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jada105/ jada105

    For the people saying Richard Pryor should be on here if u would of read the story correctly it states Richard Pryor is a Genius and gives he props so relax lol.But i do agree that he should have been put this list since Eddie Murphy on here when the both old school comedians.I like Eddie griffin too but a lot of people i know dont think he funny i was shocked he was mention in the comments. And don’t front the Martin show was a classic, and Steve Harvey is not fuuny anymore that Still Trippin s**t was not funny.I do agree that mike epps is not funny in stand up.Bernie mac is way funniest than Steve Harvey,and Cedric The Entertainer should be on here, and katt Williams is not funny live he does tell the same jokes in seen he live and i was kinda disappointed . But his movies are hilarious,Dave chappelle shows were hilarious but he not all that in stand up either.Tracy Morgan is ok,. but all of these men have made me laugh here and there but my top three will have to be Martin,Bernie,Eddie Griffin but at the end of the day everyone has there own opinion.

    Dam can they all be on the same team lol?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kasostyle/ kasostyle

    First of All…..richard pryor is excluded because he’s the greatest ever. There’s no need to rate him. He’s the god of comedy. Pryor, Redd, Carlin, Mooney, & Murphy are the Mount Rushmore of Comedy. However, some of these comedians shouldn’t be mentioned.

    Kevin Hart-R U SERIOUS?LOL
    TRACY MORGAN-PLEASE…..LOL
    Kat Williams-not yet. NEEDS MORE MATERIAL.(THE PIMP-ACT IS GETTIN A LIL OLD.
    JAMIE FOXX-NAW, VERY TALENTED BUT JUST NOT THAT FUNNY.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Chocolate_ChynaDoll1/ Chocolate_ChynaDoll1

    No Eddie Griffin No Ced the entertainer DL Hugley Kevin Hart is whack a lil cute but whack Tracey Morgan is ameatuer Dave chapelle?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/HMDs_wildest/ HMDs_wildest

    To be honest, people can’t get mad at the list.Dave chappelle did change the comedy world around. He brung something new to the table. He don’t have the funest stand up comedy but he a all around comedian, just like martin, eddie murphy,katt williams chris rock, jamie foxx, and chris tucker. I bet if anyone of them was playing in a movie, yall would go and see it! All the comedians I put down can act, do stand up comedy and keeop it real. The people I actually name is people who live a life that I can relate to. Probaly sat in the class getting bad grades just making jokes all day and said they want to make people laugh. Now they making millions. You can say dave ,eddy,chris or martin and even katt not funny, LOL!! If they roast you it’s over!! People don’t like to hear real talk they want to hear off brand people who say things that never really happen. I know actin, chris tucker is a natural comedian and kevin hart, ya’ll know it to if you listen or observe, you will reconize that you have a friend or somebody you know that act like them and they probaly make you laugh all the time. The reason why is because they natural comedians.”Think about it”

    What about my boy Reggie McFadden when he did the country at the projects with a c**kroach coming out of his mouth? Or when he demonstrated how ghetto girls fight and one of the titties would pop out? Or when he demonstrated the Pope coming to a neighbor’s door with his dick swinging in the air because the Pope doesn’t wear drawers??

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/alpha111906/ alpha111906

    it is definitely a matter of opinion…I don’t even listen to katt williams…I don’t even know who Kevin Hart is. Tracy Morgan is not the best, good, but not the best. Jamie Fox is not funny as a stand up…this is just a list of comedians with the most exposure…Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, and Eddie Murphy are definitely up there…Eddie Griffin should definitely be up there…he is funny in movies and stand up…But like I mentioned…it is opinion only…respect a person’s opinion…don’t insult it…cause an opinion is debatable.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bigtomb/ bigtomb

    corey holcomb is funny as hell!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Eric_96/ Eric_96

    i agree who came up with this list how could you not include Richard Pryor and redd foxx i would include Eddie griffin to, honestly i don’t know how in the world they didn’t even include Arnez J from Comic view that dude is hilarious and of course Steve harvey and Cedric

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pbballin/ pbballin

    kat williams just isn’t really funny to me like everyone else thinks so

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackdiamond184/ blackdiamond184

    I would say George Lopez but I forgot I am on a racially biast website since they forgot to mention Black comedians. Katt Williams always got me laughing so out of this list I would chose him.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/trisha_369/ trisha_369

    I agree with those who said,Richard Prayer,Eddie Griffin,Steve Harvey,Ced The Entertainer, & Redd Foxx-should have been on this list. Even thou I LMAO at the list & in my opinion the ones who had me OTFLMFAO was Kat Williams(luv this man-I would fu*k him so good. When he hit the pu$$ie Kat would turn into dog & he would grow 5″ & change his name to Big Dog)LMAO,Jamie Foxx(one night,with Jamie his last name would be Hound-pu$$ie would have him going crazy)SLMAO,Kevin Hart,Bernie Mac(RIP),Eddie Murphy. Mike Epps,Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock,& Dave Chappelle to me,are only funny in movies…some of there standup-may be funny. Now thats just my opinion.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    Tracy Morgan, Kevin Hart needs to be takin off asap. Eddie Murphy should be at number 1 no way Chapelle is funnier than him. Katt Williams IMO is a bit overrated but I would put him in my Top 10 list. But BP lists are always horrible i’d think they’d be better off with some kinda poll that would make it more accurate.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/progresslover/ progresslover

    DAMN!! i KNOW THIS IS BLACKPLANET
    SH’T BUT ROBIN HARRIS REMEMBER HIM BABA KIDS MOVIE(FAME) JIM CARREY, AND ROBIN WILLIAMS IF I HAD TO MAKE A LIST HERE IT BE.

    7. REDD FOXX
    8. CHRIS ROCK
    9. RED SKELTON
    10. JACKIE GLEASON

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/T2003J/ T2003J

    I agree with some comments on here. They all are funny I don’t think you can say who is the funniest one of them all. Cuz once you do you may be forgetting about somebody. This is the same discussion when it comes to the best rapper arguement. But you know most of the comics today will give credit to richard pryor for molding there success.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sexxxypimptress911/ sexxxypimptress911

    Im glad no one mentioned DL Hugley cuz he is not funny! but anyways where is Chris Tucker? but I LOVE Levell Crowford and its about time that they gave Eddie Murphy his deserved regconition because he is a true comedian. I love everyone on the list!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    Eddie Murphy was good, but hasn’t done standup in years. same for Martin Lawrence; Robin Harris should be better known; Jamie Foxx can be funny. but he’s so talented he can go any direction; the others are actors that can be funny. Redd Foxx is very funny, but none can (or ever will) touch RICHARD PRYOR

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/l0v3-s3x-n_magiic/ l0v3-s3x-n_magiic

    martin && katt williams are mahh all time faves
