Who's the Best Comedian Actor?

Who doesn't like a good laugh? We have access to comedy in many ways, and through many people, but in this slogging thread, our pop-culture channel discussed which comedian-actor is the best. We've seen them in series and in movies, and we are here to discover which one has made us laugh the most.

This Slogging thread by Sara Pinto, Teri Eyenike, Mónica Freitas, Limarc Ambalina, Jack Boreham and Abeer occurred in slogging's official #pop-culture channel, and has been edited for readability.

In need of some laughs over here: Who's the best comedian actor?

As a Nigerian, I have to represent. It is Bovi.

I'll give you a few of my favorites because I can't name just one ahaha: Kevin Hart, Jim Carrey (not as much now), Ricky Gervais, Tiffany Haddish, Chris Rock and the portuguese Bruno Nogueira.

Teri Eyenike Oh, I've never heard about him. What type of comedy does he do?

Mónica Freitas Ricky Gervais, yes, so good!! But for me, the king still is Robin Williams. He was a genius!

Jack Boreham Limarc Ambalina Linh Smooke Daniel Guzman Abeer What about you?

He hasn't been acting in a long time but Dave Chappelle is the GOAT.

People will hate or love him, but I absolutely LOVE Adam Sandler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec7rCsNFn30

I also think Chris Rock is underrated as an actor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMjWkvlBdV0

Sara Pinto Bovi is a Nigerian and does standup comedy. And I think he does his shows.

Sara PintoRobin was amazing! Did you watch his version of Alladin?

Kevin heart, simply the best contemporary comedic actor!

Sara Pinto Thomas Middleditch is great if you like improv comedy and he was great in Silicon Valley

Limarc Ambalina Yes!! Both are great choices!! Adam Sandler early work was so funny, and I like how he has a group of actors that usually work together, Chris Rock included, and the outcome is hilarious

Teri Eyenike Just found a bunch of videos of him on Youtube. Definitely going to watch them!

Mónica Freitas How could I not? It's funnier now that I understand all of the jokes haha. I recently watched Mrs. Doubtfire and it was great, have you ever seen it?

Jack Boreham Not my favorite, but I love his dynamic with The Rock! They make such a funny duo

Abeer Oh, I've never heard about him. Is there a video you advise me to watch?

Sara Pinto hahaha true. I think I've never heard of it. What it is about?

Sara Pinto If you like improv, him and Ben Schwartz have a show on Netflix called Middleditch and Schwartz where they make up the show on the spot based on things they get from the audience.

But if you want to see him casually doing improv, you should see him on Hot Ones

Mónica Freitas It's about a man who wishes to spend more time with his kids, after divorcing their mother. He decides to dress up as a babysitter so he can do it. Sounds kinda shady saying it like this haha, but it's Robin Williams typical comedy

Abeer Oh, I'll have to check out his show on Netflix. I don't think I ever sit down and watched a real improv show. I just watched out the video and got to know him a little, he seems pretty funny!

Sara Pinto now that you've mentioned it, it does ring a bell. A have this image of Robin dressed as an old lady ahahah

Mónica Freitas This just gave me the drive to go watch it haha

Sara Pinto DO IT!
