Both are funny in their own ways, but I'd have to say that Jim Carrey does seem to come up with stuff on the spot and does tend to be more suited as a stand-up rather as a movie star. But still, he is still reasonably funny in movies (although thats not always the case imo)

Robin Williams, he goes well in movies and being a comedian.

both are funny but I have to go with robin williams hes more diverse then jim carey in acting skill not just being a comedian, both are good but robin williams as been doing it longer and due the fact he keeps adding to his comedic skills as well.

I would have to say that Jim is my favorite, they are both funny both Robin Williams hasnt made any newer movies in a while but he is still pretty funny in the ones he has out now.

i think both jim carrey and robin williams are both hillarious....but unfortunately the poll doesnt seem to work because i wouldve chosen robin williams....i like the way he can change the pitch of his voice to make the joke so much funnier....i believe he does that better than jim...i think robin would most likely curse too in lke a stand up which ususally makes the joke funnier somehow to me at least...i still think that robin is out there shining yet for jim carry....i havent heard or seen of him for a long while..

Red Skeleton isn't on the list. He's probably funnier than either of them in his time, of course. Certainly more popular in his day. Had his own TV show way back when...

well robin williams has done the movie Robot which I watch this morning and it was funny. and also RV which will be coming out soon as well.

I seen a few of robin williams stand up hes doesn't use it excessivly like f-bomb this and f-bomb that. its all in the way he presents him self.

But also just remebering both are great physical comedians as well.

they sometimes replay red skeleton, saw infomercials as well hes not bad either.

but lets not forget the fathers of comedy the 3 stooges, you can't beat them no matter who you are in the comedy world.

I really don't know if I like either one. I have enjoyed each actor a little more in their least slapstick/wacky roles. That going off/nutty improv stuff drives me up the wall.

A good example of this with Robin Williams is in the movie The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, where it all seems so well planned out and put together and the he came in and stuck out like a sore thumb.

Since my poll is not working all that well I'll add a few other very funny people that I consider to be very funny.

Jonathan Winters: Another old but funny old man back in his day. I have a bloopers show at home and it has him doing some very funny stuff.

Bob Hope: One can say it's because of him alot of people become comedians and he was another one who always had that sharp and funny wit about him. He hosted the OSCARS a number of times. I never really saw them but I've seen shows about him hosting the OSCARS and he seemed to be very, very funny. He could say anything on the show and people would always laugh and never gets offended by his jokes.

Jerry Lewis: Another big time comedy legend. I saw him a couple of months ago on Regis and Kelly. Kelly was away and for once only Regis hosted his show and he had Jerry Lewis on the show to talk about Jerries new book and Jerry made a funny joke which I found pretty funny here it is "Do you know what mixed emotions are: He asked Regis and he said ' That's Jerry Lewis for you always making an interesting joke only he can say without offending anyone.

Jim carey would have to be the funniest out of everyone...

Not just the jokes and comments he says but just his complete stupidness

Just recently saw his new movie "fun with *BLEEP* and jane" which was a really good movie. Favourite part is where they kidnap the guy and have the voice distortion things and he plays the guitar LOL!

and his older movies like ace ventura are all time classics and will never get old.
