I agree Eric, however Chevy Chase has NEVER been funny.

Ok, I admit, the Fletch defense is a bit thin.
 What about "Spies Like US" or "Three Amigos"? Corny? Yes, but still good for a laugh or two IMO. Last edited by Eric Coffey; 01-16-2003 at 04:30 PM.. |

Nobody said Seinfeld......
What about Brian Reagan?? Anyone ever see him? I like Jay Mohr and David Cross. Kevin James is pretty good also, as is Ray Romano. Carlin is god. Chevy Chase is not funny because he is a super-arse in real life and it shows. Quaid made the Vacation movies - Chase was the straight man in my eyes. Robin Williams is always good. Chris Rock is tight. Kevin Meanie is really funny. I even enjoy (gasp) Ben Steins humor. Although not a comedian, I think Davis Ducovney (sp??) is just about one of the funniest people around (ever see him as Johnny Volcano on "Life With Bonnie"??). .....but Brian Reagan is still my fav! 944S Boyeee
