    I liked the older comedians Phyllis Diller was a true American classic as Carol Burnette .

    I really like all of them. But Ellen is the least abrasive of this bunch.

    Ellen by far, I liked Lisa Lampanelli until I saw her whiney ass on The Apprentice...comedienne's should be funny all of the time, like Ellen.

    and Kathy Griffin; a lot of womyn comics make me laugh!! It's too bad that boys don't think that womyn comics are funnier than their male comic counterparts; sexist male pigs!!

    I really don't know most of these people. However, I remember Diller when she used to do those stupid Laundry Detergent Commercials, back in the 60s. She was anything but a "Stand up" anything. She sucked. Her Original Fog-Horn-Type of Cackle was extremely gross. No matter where she wound-up, she was always out-of-place. She couldn't even pronounce the word; "Protein" . . . Diller was just a waste that ABC invested in . . . . Then she really screwed-up when she started having those Zsa Zsa Gabor type Face-Lifts. It's kind of sad; but still, she's the one that sucked; not the innocent viewers. She got paid for it.

    Phyllis Diller was more of a clown, she mostly made fun of herself. Awesome lady.
    But Sarah Silverman is the funniest.

    Phyllis was a category all to herself, she was so outrageous! She'd make you laugh just by her walking out onto the stage, her get-ups and her hair! I loved Phyllis because her humor was self-depreciating, but never mean or nasty.

    Carol Burnett was the greatest sketch comedienne ever, but of the modern comediennes, Ellen DeGeneres is the best, because she can actually make you laugh without being nasty, dirty or gross, like so many of the modern comedians are, male or female.

    What made Phyllis Diller and Carol Burnett so funny, was their lack of dignity. Phyllis Diller with her stand-up monologues, and Carol Burnett in her sketch comedy doing parodies of classic motion pictures. Phyllis Diller was verbally klutzy, and Carol Burnett was performing on stage klutzy.
  • Mae Tim Upham 2012/08/25 13:12:21
    Mae
    Yeah, that's what made them so fun to watch! They didn't mind doing jokes on the most everyday things, for Phyllis, it was in her stand-up, for Carol, her skits were endlessly entertaining. I can't think of a single modern female comedienne who does funny physical comedy. Modern comedians' idea of comedy lacking dignity means bathroom humor and x-rated jokes. Pretty sad, really.

    That is the unique talent that both Phyllis Diller and Carol Burnett have. Comedy does require talent.

    That was an easy choice!

    Roseanne can be hard to take, but I'm surprised she's scoring lower than Joan Rivers and, especially, Kathy Griffin.

    She is a comedian... she's had a career outside of her talk show. And, many people think she's hilarious (just look at the results for this question).

    Actually, she did standup for years before becoming a talk show host. Just like Leno, Letterman, and Conan.
