Laurel and Hardy were always placed higher than Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
We must not forget the Three Stooges.
Harrold LLoyd was once on top.
Buster Keaton never spoke a word but with his melancholic looks and acting, made people laugh.
What about the Marx Brothers? Gorucho's mustache was a trademark.

The 'Yes Minister' and 'Yes Prime Minister' series are tops.

Mind Your Language - the first series is very enjoyable.

puspak should be rated as one of the modern day classics from india-great concept and brilliant fair.
even today sitting in my lab i think of those hilarious moments from the movie, almost every scene right
from kamal waiting outside the toilet in a qeue to get in and the irony when he gets all the 3 and he
choosing the "clean one", packaging s!!t in a scented box, also the rendezevous of prathap and tinnu
anand-at the discotheque-throwing their tie over the left shoulder for signalling that contacts have
arrived. really funny alas the indian crowd never appreciated a genius of a movie....whata a shame

Some more Tamil comedy films:

Sabaapathi - This is the film where T.R.Ramachandran made his debut as an actor. He acted the hero's part of a spoiled and pampered rich teen-ager.
This was the first full length comedy in Tamil.

Nalla Thamby - N.S.Krishnan, T.A.Madhram, PuLimuuttai Raamasaamy, Kaakaa RadhaKrishnan, Sahasranaamam, Bhanumathi.
Although this is supposed to be full-length comedy, it was also very serious in promoting reformistic ideas, socialism, Gandhism, etc.
This was the first picture that NSK acted, after his jail term and a subsequent visit to Soviet Russia.
The memorable segments in this film are the 'Madhu Olzhippu theruk kuuththu' and 'Kindhanaar Kadhaa Kalatchebam'.
A very notable Tamil politician had addressed NSK as a 'KOmaaLi'.
NSK rebukes him by singing
'Naattukku sEvai seyya naagariigak kOmaaLi vandhaanaiyaa!
Aattamaadi paattuppaadi nalla alzhagaana jadhaiyOdu vandhaanaiyya!
MOttaarai vittiringgi vandhaaniyyaa!
Munkudumi siivikkittu vandhanayaa!, etc.

The film was hit.
And also a controversy.

Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" and "The Great Dictator" are my all time favorites. Other memorables include: Walter Mathau- Jack Lemmon movies, " The odd couple", "The Front Page" etc. Cho-Nagesh pair was very good in "thEn mazhai" etc. NSK. Mathuram in "Yaar paiyan" almost all Chandra Babu roles, Nagesh-Balaiya in "kaadhalikka nEramillai", Peter Sellers in "The Party", Kamal's Palghat role in "Michael Madana Kamarajan".
