Who was the funniest comedian at their peak? Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle?

[The Fire]

Martin at its best might better than the Chapelle show. But i think im gonna go with Dave's stand up over the three, tho chris rock is right there. Dave is still fukking funny

also everybody hates chris is criminally underrated

 

[NormanConnors]

I just saw Chappelle live a few weeks ago, dude is still in top form

What do you consider each of their peak stanups? I can’t remeber off topic I’d go with rock or martin, I’d need to revisit their stand ups, but both were funnier to me than Chappelle. Dave really got in his bag with his show, but pure standup? Martin or rock for sure

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Only cacs think Martin's prime wasnt better than Dave's.

But i gotta admit that Dave's killing me softly is my all time favor stand up show

 

[Ruck]

Martin was my childhood, Dave took over in my adolescence. Rock is great, but Martin and Dave's work were more impactful for me.

Dave and Bernie Mac are the funniest people ive witnessed in my life.

 

[Clive42]

Chappelle show was overall better than the Chris Rock show, but very few Chappelle show skits were funnier than this

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Are we talking just stand up routines?

Or Movies, TV Shows and Stand Up

 

[Sad Bunny]

Marty Mar

 

[Monoblock]

Martin easily for me. I mean the show and characters are still legendary and make me laugh.

 

[Luke Cage]

I happen to know Dave personally. Well i met him a few time and spoke to him. He recognizes me but doesn't know my name.
That said Dave>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Martin and Chris have both gone on the record with similar sentiments too. Your favorite comedians favorite comedian. Only person people don't put over Dave is Richard Pryor.

Stand Up :

1. Rock
2. Martin
3. Dave

Never was a fan of Chapelles stand up. The show was dope tho.

Rock had the best stand up, but wasn't really funny in movies.

Martin had the best of both worlds tho. Funny stand up, and funny as fukk in live action.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

In terms of acting...

Martin in Life >>>>>

[fReShBeAtS]

Martin is hilarious in movies too. That national security joint had me crying tears

 

[KING WILL]

He was cool in that one.

I didn't mean that I have never laughed at Rock in a movie.

Just overall, he wasn't very funny in movies imo.
