Martin hosting Def Comedy Jam and early seasons of his show was his peak and > Rock or Chapelle

Martin easy and by a wide margin for me. I am with you. nikkas not counting or forgetting about Def Comedy Jam was close to his prime :what:

depends on what type of comedy we talmbout :mjgrin:

standup - Rock
movies - Martin
TV - Chappelle

This.

If we are talking about all three, then I go with Dave. His show was historic and his stand up is second to Chris.

I appreciate Martin, but I don’t think he hits on philosophy/politics and Social commentary the way Dave and Chris do.

Bring the Pain, Chappelle show and Martin TV show are all cultural high points.

Martin's stand up game is kinda wack to me but his acting/movies, I find funny

Chris Rocks's stand up was funny in he late 90's but I never liked any of his acting bits/movies

Chapelle is the funniest stand up-comedian of the bunch and his acting is better/funnier than Rock's
