Never really seen Bill Hicks, but those others are great! I'd have to say Hedberg is my favorite.

Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Katt Williams, and many more.
Hard to pick seen so many fantastic comedians.
Dave Chapelle got to see him live in Seattle was hilarious.

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.

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.

flavor of the month, MAKES NOT the "best comedian that ever lived" but according to systems theory psychology, we all are programmed to enjoy that idiot on TV we've all seen on youtube a million times because he's got the hits and name power.
PS: comedians are all underrated/overrated. even Jay Leno used to be actually really funny.

Phil Hendrie of The Phil Hendrie Show is pretty fucking hilarious...
"The Phil Hendrie Show is a comedy talk radio program. The show is syndicated throughout North America on Westwood One. It is known for outrageous guests, the majority of whom are fictional and voiced live by the host, Phil Hendrie. Though Hendrie often explains that he is doing the voices, listeners unfamiliar with the show's format are duped into believing that the guests on the show are real and are invited to call in to engage in conversation with the "guests"."
I can't find any good vids of him, but he's on AM radio late at night, if you ever get a chance listen to his show.
Here's a list of the stations/times he's on...
Also if anyone cares you can youtube him, but I looked through a couple of the vids and none of them are too amazing...

I can't believe no one mentioned Henny Youngman Rodney Dangerfield Jackie Gleason Red Foxx The Marx Brothers The 3 Stooges Jerry Lewis John Candy Eugene levy etc. etc. These guys were funny as hell.

Such a subjective thing. Hicks is hilarious and probably way up there if such a thing were quantifiable.

I wonder if our cavemen ancestors had comedians. I bet one of them would be the funniest ever.

I voted Carlin because of his longevity;however, I think that Hicks would have been better had he lived longer.

1) George Carlin > *
FUNNIEST COMEDIAN = Louis CK. The guy just spews funny. Best Philosopher = Bill Hicks. Had funny moments, but primarily a thinker.
George Carlin cannot be beaten however. He is, by definition, the best.

I think Bill Burr is awesome. Mostly cuz he's just pissed.
And Brian Regan is the funniest clean act I've ever seen.

Carlin was everything I found hilarious in a comedian. He has my vote.
I put Robert Schimmel up there too.
This whole show of his was fucking priceless.

Carlin is like the Grateful Dead. He was around forever and was the best at what he did. In my opinion.

i'd like to weigh in. Carlin.
Comic = tells jokes; can be great
Comedian = tells anything, funny or not, and makes it funny.
Carlin is a Comedian.
