Being that I would like to fashion myself as a comedy aficionado, my battle actually comes down to Richard Pryor and Dave Chapelle.
Chris stays because his stand up act, I think due to when he did his, will stand the test of time not to mention movies and shows. I do think raw and delirious are the best stand up acts ever and Eddie has had a great career so he is the peak of the mountain. Having listened to Richard's stuff in its entirety, most of it is drop dead hilarious but I do think some of it is lost because of time and the context in which it was used. I know how his cocaine exploits but a lot of stuff going on in the world during his day, I obviously don't know all of it. That's all comedy is, social commentary in a comedic manner. Dave Chapelle gave us 2 years of gold with his show, plus movies like Half-Baked. Chapelle's reign just wasn't that long and Richard's influence and prolonged continued excellence edges this out for me.
Bye Dave.

in the vote. The only reason I voted was to see who had the most votes 
. He's only funny when he's writing a show or movie and even than it's hit or miss.
