Seriously those two have to be the if not the leading two but at least in the top five worse comedians ever.

It's incredibly hard to say. I listed mine on page 1. But I watch Comedy Central presents pretty often and stopped what I'm doing occasionally to watch a rando crack me the fuck up.

Doug Stanhope or Dave Attel.
Asking who is the "best who the best ever" and only giving four options is a fail on a level which words cannot describe.

On that list, Carlin but, when it comes to American comedians, nobody comes close to Mark Twain.
The best comedians are able to do more than just make people laugh. They can change the tone of discourse. They can change opinions. A good comedian holds almost as much power as a good politician. The thing about comedy is it makes people pay attention. It makes people listen. You will never laugh at a joke you ignore. So, a good comedian can use this power to get people to think.
Richard Prior and Chris Rock used comedy as a vehicle to entirely reframe the American discussion about race. Carlin embodied the themes and philosophies of the counterculture, and changed how Americans generally think about the English language.
What Twain did was far more impressive. He was able to talk circles around the very fundamental cores of American society and turn them on their head. That he is still known and cherished to this day is proof if his importance. And the best comedian is an important comedian.
I love Louis C.K. and Mitch Hedberg but neither has done much if anything to change American culture. Frankly, I am amazed Hedberg is doing so well in this poll, simply because he was a flash in the pan, and while his body of work is funny, it is also very small. Bill Hicks was on the right track but he never had the mass appeal that Carlin enjoyed, and alas, also died too young.
