I’ve always been partial to Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner because I don’t think it gets any better than their “2000 Year Old Man” bits. However, I’m curious about your opinions. What other comedy teams rank right up there?
Abbott and Costello
The Smothers Brothers
The Marx Brothers
The Three Stooges!
This year’s Cincinnati Bengals. They’re a riot.
That’s a pretty tough question to answer.
Laurel and Hardy are sure to get a lot of votes.
Jackie Gleason and Art Carney were pretty good too. Do they count?
Cheech and Chong used to crack me up…
I’ll second that…
Hard to come up with a favorite.
Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara
Bob and Ray
Abbott and Costello
Hope and Crosby (if only for the road pictures)
Burns and Allen
Monty Python (if you extend the definition to a troupe)
But I’d have to vote for the Marx Bros.
It’s Bob and David!
(Odenkirk and Cross, if you have to ask)
Of all time?
Laurel and Hardy. No question.
Spade and Farley had their shining moments. They did some sub-par work coughBlack Sheepcough but I think they’d still be good for years to come if Chris Farley was still around.
I’m not going to say that they were The Best of all Time™ but I don’t really care for very many older comedy routines so I’m not going to say Jerry Still and Annne Meara (for example) were either.
If Monty Python counts maybe it would be them.
Oh and I think Trey Parker and Matt Stone should at least get honorable mention. They’re extremely underappreciated.
All Time?
Sounds like an echo but everything Groucho,Chico,and Harpo dreamed up (with assists by Perlman,among others) were hilarious.Even funny bits in their (socalled)turkey movies.
1-Marx Bros
Others=Rowan and Martin pre Laugh In
George and Gracie
Nichols and May
Gleason and Carney
Cheech and Chong
Bush and Cheney 
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore had their moments.
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer - not for everyone, and a bit hit and miss, but I think that they have made me laugh harder than anyone else on occasion.
Muledeer and Moondog
Weber and Fields?
Harrigan and Hart?
Monteith and Rand.
Pretty tough to pick a favorite, but I think Abbott and Costello and Gleason and Carney were tops.
Here are some others that I didn’t see mentioned:
Sid Caesar and Emogene Coca (I think Brooks and Reiner wrote for them)
W.C. Fields and Mae West
The Kingfish and Andy (from Amos and Andy)
Same guy but two personalities, so would Edger Burgen and Charlie McCarthy count?
I’m glad to see Peter Cook and Dudley Moore mentioned.
Their comedy repesented just the right combination of looniness and intellect for me.
It’s too bad they couldn’t stand each other. Really, neither did very successful (or even good) work since they broke up.
Wow…nobody’s mentioned Rod Hull and his emu yet?
Sheesh…
To second an earlier mention:
Pop a wheelie! It’s Bob and David!
I also think that if we’re extending into troupes, then The Kids in the Hall are right up there.
