[@erzaender]

emma stone, jennifer lawrence, john cena and jeff goldblum

[@Nastyboy269]

He got his start in comedy, so not sure if he counts.

[@geviesanta3631]

Ryan Reynolds is funny in the chaotic way, RDJ is funny in a snark way, and Jeremy Renner is funny with a sense of humor that's so dry that even he couldn't take himself seriously. Why the heck didn't we get a movie with all three of them in it yet!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@HerbalMoon17]

I realize I don't have an excuse for why that hasn't happened. I was going to say something about Ryan being DC, but isn't Deadpool Marvel? So there's no reason.

[@gwaand]

Ryan Gosling and Chris Hemsworth deserve spots

[@marybarry2230]

Totally agree with you!😁

[@yemisiogunsanwo3737]

Olivia Colman deserves a mention too.

[@Soulairus]

Ryan Gosling is pretty funny as well

[@blugreen123]

Ryan Reynolds! Jon Hamm's turn on Jimmy Fallon's Mad Lib Theater is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. 🤣

[@knowbrainer233]

Tom Hanks started out in comedy, in the show Bosom Buddies. Tons of comedic movies. He's a comedic legend. Maybe not a stand up comedian, but he's always been funny. Same applies to Ryan Reynolds. He was on a sitcom and had a bunch of comedic movies.

[@shawnuel]

Yeah. If those guys are listed, how can Paul Rudd not be? Also, Shaquille O'Neal but no Charles Barkley? That's backwards, bro!

[@jimb.7523]

And RDJ was on SNL. Granted, he wasn't there long.

[@shawnuel]

@@jimb.7523 And, many viewers thought he was painfully unfunny.

[@daeviant]

Tom Hanks was also in some terrible TV movies

[@shadrachgeorge108]

Ryan Reynolds came to my mind while watching the video

[@MrAokayj]

I mean, he might as well be a comedian lol

[@christianleocastelo342]

God's favorite idiot 😂

[@nosferatu6385]

He's hilarious 😂

[@mikeawesome9212]

He's basically a comedian.

[@katz0625]

He is funny but he is considered a comedian so…..

[@staceylloyd9505]

When Shaq and Kenny take off running for whatever reason.... ending with Shaq crashing into the Christmas tree! 😭😂😂😂😂😂

[@mackenzie276]

Y’all, Brendan Fraser is hilarious!

[@miguelquishpe2446]

And Ryan Gosling 🤔

[@twitchdoomx]

Oh yeah him too, I was surprised not to see Jake Gyllenhaal on this list lol

[@vanessastegall]

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. They’re a funny couple.

[@shaliseshaw9385]

Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Patti Lupone, Anne Hathaway, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Elaine Paige, Kurt Russell, and other celebrities should've been on the list. 🎥🎥🎬🎬🎬🎬📺

[@alexisz.4578]

Adam Driver is also hilarious in interviews.

[@lisakaz35]

I mentioned him also. Perhaps he's too thoughtful in being funny.

[@ursulap.6722]

And hilarious on Saturday Night Live

[@carpediem8533]

Timothy Olyphant is very funny too.

[@janeentumbao8690]

I saw Keanu Reeves should have been in the top 10. He's certainly #1 in my book! 😂❤

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

My wife and I were discussing our celebrity hall passes. Is it weird that be both chose John Cena?

[@alyzu4755]

Nope Not at all. Completely understandable.

[@donniemedlin4217]

Cena is big on making wishes come true lol he would accommodate both of you

[@jordanroman841]

John Cena is legit hilarious

[@TheMightyGumball]

The audio is all over the place...

[@niloy2212]

Some of them are better than actual comedians 😅

[@BurrShotHam711]

Lin-Manuel Miranda is hilarious as hell, his Tweets are hilarious. He should’ve made the list

[@mikeawesome9212]

We don't know Lynn Miranda, only you know her.

[@RuggedResistor]

No such list is complete without Aubrey Plaza

[@eifelitorn]

she isn't a comedian?

[@diegodelaisla9668]

@@eifelitornthat’s literally what the list is about….

[@eifelitorn]

@@diegodelaisla9668 the OP said this list isn't complete without her, but I'm pretty sure she's an actual comedian so she shouldn't be on the list

[@TheDayDreamingOwl]

​@@eifelitornLol, yes, she is a comedian

[@andreapln4416]

Sarah Paulson and Cate Blanchett deserved at least an honorable mention

[@chilidrummer8333]

How the hell could you miss out on Timothy Olyphant? He’s absolutely hilarious!

[@Zett76]

My thoughts, exactly! :)

[@shadrachgeorge108]

Why am I laughing at a blank thumbnail lol😂

[@andersbylund2753]

The best about Snoop is that he dosent know it himself

[@fenderfox5080]

I thought for sure Rob Lowe would've been #1 if not an honorable mention lol

[@Khyranleander]

Damon's my fave, but he's already on my watch-anything-he's-in list. Clip wish I could see, tho, was apparently done backstage back in early Star Trek: NG days; punchline has *PATRICK STEWART* up on a fake hill doing Julie Andrews' iconic "Sound of Music" routine, twirls & all! Oh, what we missed before crews had cell cams!

[@ye6973]

How is Charles Barkley not on this list, genuinely one of the naturally funniest people ever

[@106andie]

Exactly!

[@Vanessa227]

🎤 Love you and your content.

[@Mowntandewey]

RDJ is hilariously snarky!

[@stephaniemajors7697]

He was a comedian for awhile. He was even an snl cast member

[@joaquincalderon4602]

The Rock! I knew it! 😁😂

[@momanvgu]

Sarah Paulson? She's hilarious! ❤

[@Lilly-qc4yr]

What about Jamie Dornan and Olivia Colman? Jamie is hilarious in Interviews and Olivia delivered the best oscar speech ever

[@johndaman6322]

of course #1 is THE most electrifying man in all of entertainment ! if ya smell what the Rock ....

[@Marcus_Kramer]

IS COOKING

[@unfire]

Jon Hamm is seriously one of the funniest actors I've ever seen! Between his Hamm and Bubble on SNL and his opening in the movie TAG....Great list over all!

[@ericgjovaag7958]

And this list didn't even mention his work in "Good Omens"!

[@HighHeelKnight]

I will always remember Tom Hanks from starring in Bosom Buddies.

[@dustinsanchez7820]

Emily blunt is so damn classy

[@sarahvenable4710]

Any celebrity who can make me smile/laugh just by being themselves as well as doing what they love is an immediate winner in my book!

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

Excelente Top 20 Video 🙊🤯😃😍👍🥰💐🌟🥇🏆

[@theflatcapchap5917]

I was really waiting for Lewis Capaldi to be on here

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

So true!

[@shawnuel]

OK. I know he is pretty much canceled these days but remember when Alec Baldwin's first movies were all drama or action roles, then he showed up on SNL and absolutely KILLED? He should be the poster boy for this list.

[@captainsquiggs]

I've always known Reynolds to be a comedian, and Hanks started in comedic roles.

[@Captain-Hooker]

Seeing Timberlake in bad teacher was when I realized dudes funny as hell

[@doriangraye1971]

I love all these people.😂

[@106andie]

Where’s Charles Barkley?! And why is Snoop Ranked so low.. they make me laugh the hardest.

[@melishee]

Who is that in the thumbnail? I CAN'T SEE HIM! 😂

[@bikingbuggy4199]

Jeff Goldblum was absolutely hilarious in Thor: Ragnarok.

[@The_Beast_3365]

John Cena was hilarious in that new Netflix film that came out recently with Jackie Chan called Hidden Strike, even though that movie is not that good, it's just a film to laugh at a lot and have fun with! 😂 I love Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park. 🙂✌️

[@eddieschooler6532]

Damon's cameo inn Eurotrip was hillarious.

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

Shhhh! 🤫🤫 🎵 *Scottie Doesn't Know!* 🎶 🤣😅😂

[@SkullRabbit13]

Clearly you've never seen the multiple times Timothy Olyphant was the guest on Conan...... but some how Adele makes the list.

[@frankcastle1980]

Always enjoy your content BUT Please Fix Your Sound Levels!!!

[@gfear24]

Jon Hamm in Good Omens season 2 is brilliantly funny

[@chadyepipia8383]

Also you can do top 20 actors who are funny are comedians too please thanks.

[@jamalvargas6146]

Seth MacFarlane In My Opinion The Guy That gave us Family Guy, American Dad, and The Orville has to make someone laugh I'm a fan

[@stephaniemajors7697]

I would consider him a comedian though

[@MinisterMime4000]

Marshawn Lynch as honorable mention

[@lisakaz35]

Adam Driver shoulda made the list. He's a thinking funny guy.

[@mikryan6567]

As Scotsman, god save Ryan Reynolds

[@daft_mervy]

Tyler Joseph is hilarious, and he always makes jokes with a deadpan attitude

[@ch4d86]

Sandra Bullock!

[@BARBELLENDS]

Ryan Reynolds is one of the funniest 🤣🤣🤣

[@nixeleth]

Emma Thompson, who's not a comedian, but who got her start in sketch comedy. RDJ, who was part of the Saturday Night Live cast back in the '80s. Tom Hanks and Ryan Reynolds? Hmm...

[@jimmysandonato3403]

Agreed

[@jaymerishere]

I thought Tom Hanks in Orange suit was drag queen Bendalacreme :P

[@ReinBoughShawty]

How can one consider rdj not a comedian, when he was a cast member for a season of snl?

[@lp-xl9ld]

Maybe as "not PREDOMINANTLY a comedian"

[@shawnuel]

Did you see his work that one year?

[@rheahinlo]

Goldblum - without even trying

[@isaacjohnson3384]

Marcus Spears former NFL football player always makes me laugh

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love these content 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@marcjameswhelan6231]

Love your spam

[@KLAdams-vl8on]

This should be a top 10🤷‍♂️

[@pvthitch]

John Cena must play Guy Gardner!

[@frankbrinkmann2510]

Snoop is the king. In germany we saw an advertisement with him coming out of a smoking refrigerator singing a german Schlager ( a german word for 'Hit' ) from the seventies wich is called "schön ist es auf der Welt zu sein" ( it's nice to be on the earth ). I laughed so hard it hurts! Unbelievable!!!😂

[@Bonbonbon739]

Meryl Streep in death becomes her is gold

[@Coyotek4]

No Peyton Manning?

[@DustyRoadKill]

How is Lewis Capaldi not on this list

[@AutumnMoonlight]

This video is frustrating!! The clips of the celebs are so quiet...but the narrator is friggin LOUD!!!

[@thepeanutgallery2486]

Paul Rudd and Carrie Fisher would have been perfect on this list. Also, Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamill.

[@ericgjovaag7958]

Right, there are enough names here. This is one list that deserves a sequel: "More Top 20 Funniest Celebs Who Aren't Comedians". Maybe your colleagues at WatchMojoUK could do a British one, too.

[@unaitithomas1259]

John CenaGOAT💯💯💯

[@ScootyPuffSR13]

The fact that Ryan Gosling is not on this list is criminal!

[@mikeawesome9212]

He's not funny, dat's why.

[@NerdCU]

We are just living in a snoop dogg movie and seeing him complete side missions to level up lol

[@hirynanasarian]

Meryl Streep John Cen Jeff Goldbum Snoop Dogg Emily Blunt Emma Thompson Robert Downey Jr Shaquille O'Neill Anna Kendrick Jeff Bridges Matt Damon Justin Timberlake Adele Josh Groban Emma Stone Jon Hamn Jennifer Lawrence Tom Hanks Ryan Reynolds 1.- The Rock Where is Ryan Gosling???

[@forgottenmma3694]

John Cena should legit be having Will Ferral’s career

[@aaronwolk998]

Wouldn't you classify a former snl cast member as a comedian? Or at least a comedic actor?

[@jimmysandonato3403]

Facts

[@32rehatsinghjagirdar87]

Ryan Reynolds should be number 1

[@user-yy9kk1fk2j]

Where is Simon Pegg and Ryan Gosling?

[@twitchdoomx]

NOT GONNA MENTION JAKE GYLLENHAAL?! 😱🥹

[@luisestradahernandez]

al pacino, ryan gosling, harrison ford, margot robbie, matthew macounaghey should've been here

[@theamazingandtalentedblake8296]

Reese Witherspoon deserves an honorable mention

[@mrfantastic8451]

My first thought was Sarah Paulson and Tom Holland and none of them are here 😅 Honestly I consider them as full qualified comedians 😂😂😂

[@hotnsct7743]

I think Payton Manning deserves to be on the list!

[@shaywatford6290]

Ryan Reynolds

[@liloiax22]

16:22 Jennifer Lawrence is my #2 ...no worries Jennifer Aniston, you'll always be #1 on my list😘

[@redfisher80]

Where's Brendan Fraser? He's funny in interviews!

[@adonis3085]

Tyler better be on this list

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

I can't believe you actually included Tom Hanks as if he didn't start his entire career on comedy. Ever heard of *Bosom Buddies?!* Literally ALL of Tom Hanks' movies were comedies until he did *Philadelphia* with Denzel Washington. That was the one that earned him an Oscar and stopped him from being type casted as the comedian. Please do your research before creating these lists.

[@MrRshelp4u]

Number 1. Steven Seagal

[@BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Ben Affleck had a SNL skit called "Who Wants To Be Groped By An Eleven-Thousandaire!" That was hilarious.

[@ericgjovaag7958]

I was fully prepared to denounce this list if some of my faves didn't turn up. But sure enough, Meryl Streep and Anna Kendrick were there, and you even surprised me with Jennifer Lawrence. (By the way, if you want to see a youg, funny Tom Hanks, look for what REALLY was his big break, the TV series "Bosom Buddies". It had a dopey premise and SHOULDN'T have worked, but Hanks, Peter Scolari, and Wendie Jo Sperber raised it to a much higher level.)

[@TheKranog]

Honorable mention to Puff Daddy / P Diddy / Sean Combs for his role in Get Him To The Greek. It's not the greatest film but he stole the show in it for sure. I'd love to see him do more comedy.

[@carterboswell7611]

Ryan should have been number 1 he's way funnier than the rock and I also feel tom Holland should have got an honourable mention for his antics during his early days especially 😂
