Mart
Martin...I can only quote 1 joke...water glistening all over your body.
For me, it's definitely between Dave Chappelle and Martin. I think Chappelle beats out Martin.
Martin
Martin had a decent stand
up once upon a time but
he about washed up now.

martin was the funniest comedian alive until he got rich and then his sets turned into trash before he totally quit doing stand up
def comedy jams and you so crazy were masterpieces
gets rich
runteldat and everything thereafter total trash
easily martin here

Man you tripping
Martin's quotables changed the language of the entire world and that shit has held on ever since
Most was from the show but this didn't specify stand up
yep
This here.
I meant overall, the culmination of their works.
I think Chappelle Show was as impactful and had as many quotables as Martin's Show. And Chappelle kills Martin in standup.
Ehhh, Chris Rock and Martin are a tie for me tho
chappelle show and martin are equal or there's a slight edge to martin as he did more seasons
but you also have to equate movies
and martins movies blow chappelle's out of the water
hell martin has starred in blockbusters
its chappelle man
nah chris rock doesnt belong in the poll
i thought it was a stand up comedian poll and its just a body of work poll
martin was way bigger than chappelle has ever been
murphy and pryor are in a different league that martin almost entered until he had that stroke
so are you willing to give up bad boys, big mommas house, thin line between love and hate, life, and the martin show
bro that shit is legendary
skit comedy and stand up just doesnt reach that
Would you rather have Half Baked or Big Momma's House?
I mean, Bad Boys was cool...but I would rather have Chappelle's standup over Bad Boys and any other Martin movies.

man id rather have the def comedy jams over anything chappelle has done as a stand up
id choose big momma 1 over half baked as well
man yall dont know understand how big martin was in the 90s
heeeelll no
Chappelle is bigger NOW than Martin has ever been
recency bias is a mofo
Oh well, we just prefer different styles of comedy.
But in terms of popularity, I can't say Martin overall has been bigger than Chappelle overall
Dave
Martin was the best host on Def Jam
One of the funniest sitcoms
Movies
Chappelle show was good but I liked In Living Colour better

bro i love dave and i think he's top 2 in stand up(i still have pryor above him)
but he hasnt reached the heights that martin has
do you know martin had the #1 comedy film, #1 movie out, and the #1 tv show all at the same gotdamn time in 94 and 95
chappelle has never reached that level
nah man
recency bias is a mofo
Which comedy film?
i think martin loses out in this scenario
he had his peak, but once he started having his problems...slowed down quite a bit as far as the funny
'martin show' martin in the 90's was a beast tho
my all time favorite still was when he had to go to the dmv
[then again, i could say the same thing about pryor...there was before fire/after fire pryor, but his status as setting the standard for so many comedians that followed...could in no way take him off the list]

yousocrazy
Man I had to look and see if I quoted you lol wth
I agree w those, I was responding to the i can only think of one Martin quotable thing
For what it's worth I think Chapelle and Martin changed the public vernacular 10 times more than Eddie or Richard, although idk how to weigh that in here
maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn,
aight.
Like I said, difference of opinion.
I can barely remember the jokes from you so crazy.
thats a good point
martin was never the same after his stroke and pryor wasnt the same either
with both of them you noticed their speech patterns and their physical looks were just off
