The funniest comedian ever

[Skjonne]

Just read that a panel of comedians, writers, producers and directors from U.S. and U.K have voted for the funniest comedians of all times. Couldn't google it, but the list looks like this

1) Peter Cook
2) John Cleese
3) Woody Allen
4) Eric Morecambe
5) Groucho Marx
6) Tommy Cooper
7) Laurel & Hardy
8) Billy Connolly
9) Reeves & Mortimer
10) Richard Pryor

Wtf?

I don't even know this Cook guy (googled and realized he's from the 60's and 70's but anyway). I've never heard of Morecambe or Connolly either. My bad?

And this list without Rowan Atkinson and W.C. Fields? Wtf?

And Woody Allen? Is he a comedian? Yes, I know he is. But is he even a tiny bit funny? No he's absolutely not. Wtf?

Please discuss
