Who do you think is the funniest actor to you?

I was having this conversation with my friends earlier and my answer my Danny McBride. To me he is the funniest actor out right now. All his roles are pure gold. I don't think I've seen a movie or tv show with him in it and been disappointed. East bound and down, tropic thunder, Pineapple Express, your highness, this is the end.

So what do you think? Who is the actor that has a direct line to your funny bone?

Keanu Reeves. I recently saw his promo talking about the new movie he wrote and directed called, "Man of Tai Chi." I realized that he's slowly slipping into a deep insanity, and as he does he's becoming more and more like the meme of himself. It's hilarious! And BTW, Danny McBride has never done or said a single thing that has made me laugh, think about laughing, or devote mental energy to anything other than figuring out what it is about him people find amusing. His "overly boorish loudmouth who acts tough and boasts about stuff when really he is just mediocre to below average at the skills he boasts about" character was trite in Foot Fist Way, and lost steam from there.

Danny Mcbride just has a way to say a normal word in his way and it sounds funny.

I was listening to a podcast with Seth Rogan and he was talking about how brilliant Danny Mcbride was on set for "This Is the End".

They all would roll on the ground whenever Danny cussed out Jonah Hill. Also spoke to about how he prepares a certain bit each day to get himself into character..intersting stuff.

To me, he makes Pineapple Express the movie it is.

Danny McBride isn't funny at all to me.

 

I dunno about actor, but there are some actors who have only been in good, funny movies. I really like Seth Rogen, Michael Cera (I know I'll catch flack over that), Jason Segel, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin is the single greatest comedic character of the past decade or so, hands down) amongst others.

 

Robert Sheehan in Misfits might be the funniest TV character that I can remember, because the dude just had the right way of acting that just made everything a comic relief, even in serious times.

 

Funniest actor for me HAS to be Russell Brand though. I've only seen him in 2 or 3 movies, but he has the greatest ability to just act strange and so... Him. It just works and I find it hilarious.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
