I think the list of suggestions is a reflection of the average Wiichat demographic, though. Those are the comedians of their generation. I've seen their movies and material, but have been around long enough to consider people like Robin Williams in the mix too, and I have to say his humor wins by a long shot. Williams' humor has wit, while a lot of those other comedians, although they have their moments, depend too-heavily on "dumb humor".
Yeah I'll have to agree if I think of some older actors. Robin Williams is just comedy gold.

More outstanding choices I forgot.

One thing that's impressed me about comedic actors like Bill Murray and Robin Williams, is how terrific they've been in dramatic roles as well. Williams was on an episode of L&O the other night, spooky and dark (like his role in 24 Hour Photo).

Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You might want to find yourself a safe house or a relative nearby and lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder...

Boom!

There are too many quotes from that movie. You could easily speak nothing but anchorman quotes for an entire day. There's always something that applies, no matter the situation.

Hahaha, yeah, nearly every line is quotable - Old School didn't stick with me as much though, but Talladega Nights has several terrifically quotable scenes - the stuff around the dinner table is amazing:

Ricky Bobby: Dear Lord baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the south call you, "Jezus," we thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Dominos, KFC, and the always delicious Taco Bell. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family. My two beautiful, beautiful, handsome stricking sons, Walker, and Texas Ranger, or TR as we call him. And of course my red hot smokin' wife Carley, who is a stone cold fox.

Cal Naughton, Jr.: mmm...

Ricky Bobby: Dear tiny infant Jesus...

Carley Bobby: Hey, um... you know sweetie, Jesus did grow up. You don't always have to call him baby. It's a bit odd and off puttin' to pray to a baby.

Ricky Bobby: Well look, I like the Christmas Jesus best, and I'm sayin grace. When you say grace, you can say it to grown up Jesus, or teenage Jesus, or bearded Jesus, or whoever you want.
