out the idiocy around us. Favorite line: "We don't need a 700 foot wall on the Mexican border, we need a 700 foot WAL-MART."

#5 Bill Cosby- Good old fashion humor, clean and family friendly. He's lost his puddin' pop charm in recent years but no one can forget Fat Albert and the gang. Favorite Line: He says to his children, "We're rich. You have nothing."

#4 Wanda Sykes- Hilarious! Raw! and speaks the truth on issues affecting women and society as a whole. Favorite Line: "Forget stocks. You need to invest your money in weed. The price of weed never goes down."

#3 Eddie Murphy- From Delirious to Raw, he is versatile enough to be Dr. Doolittle, Donkey, and Mushu the kimodo dragon. He's funny enough to make tears come to your eyes. Favorite Line: "Lilliannnnnnnn, cannot use the telephone. If the house is burning down, you better be burnt up in it because you [darn] sure can't use the phone to call the fire department."

#2 Jerry Seinfeld- There is no end to his ability to find humor in absolutely nothing. He built an entire franchise on a show about "nothing". Favorite Line: "So because of the phone machine, what you can have is two people that don't really ever want to talk, and the phone machine is like this relationship respirator..." Why do we do this?

And the #1 Comedian of the modern age.... Chris Rock- In my opinion the funniest guy on the planet. He keeps reminding us just how silly we are as Americans. He's not afraid to be Marty in Madagascar then return to the stage. It's difficult to pick a favorite line so I'll go with... Favorite line: "Who's more racist black people or white people? BLACK people! Because we hate *&$* too."
