Peter O Toole was a classic as was Peter Sellers. What was that movie O Toole made some years ago with Steve Gutenberg? The one where they convert an old haunted English castle into a bed and breakfast and make up their own ghosts then find there are real ghosts? High Times or High something, I dont remember for sure. But Peter O Toole was a riot in that one.
"I planted some birdseed. A bird came up. Now I dont know what to feed it." Ramblings of a retired senile mind.

Sellers was the "real" Clouseau, such a funny, funny man. Although Steve Martin didn't do a bad job in the role either - I love when he goes speeding round Paris in the little Smart car

Forgot to ask, have you watched any of the Blackadder episodes?

Stewart Lee. His plagiarism routine is probably my favourite five minutes of comedy ever.

There have been many that I have liked over the years, but the late George Carlin has to be my all time favorite.
