Robin Williams all the way! He is amazing and honestly what is better than growing up watching Hook, Jumanji and Mrs. Doubtfire :)

Never found Williams really funny, but Carrey always made me laugh. And plus, he was in Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind, so that's an automatic win for me.

Yeah I wanted to jump in and disagree with the Carrey can't be serious comment, but it looks taken care of. In fact I can take him much more seriously than Robin Williams.

Not to say I dislike williams I loved him in One Hour Photo but other than that his serious roles don't do it for me. His comedy was great in his day but has gotten so bad, mutch worse than Carreys worst in my opinion.

We don't have to talk about "The Dead Poets' Society" ... or even "Awakenings" ... or perhaps you might sit through "The King Fisher".

Always liked Jim Carey - plus he's in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one of my all-time favorites. Williams doesn't have a movie like that to back him up.

Both have the potential to be funny, but both have let me down alot.
I would say Williams though. His humour is more... intelligent?

Hi,
If you ever have the chance to see the "Actor's Studio" episode with Robin, you will know why he is worth his weight in gold and then some ... a really special crazie that knows what he is doing, and is helping others with it. And unlike Jim Carrey, Robin can do serious work that Jim is not willing or capable of doing and does nothave the guts to do at all. Jim Carrey is an "image" ... Robin is an actor! ... and there is a massive difference.

I always despised Robin Williams in movies, but recently discovered that his old standup is hilarious. Whereas Jim Carrey I like all around (even though he's been in a lot of average movies).

I can't stand Robin Williams. Jim Carrey is pretty good, Dumb and Dumber is one of the best feel good movies I know.

Is it just me or are they both annoying in their own special ways? Which is not to say they haven't given me a few good laughs.

Robin Williams is better overall--a better actor, though I don't find him as funny, with a classier filmography.
Carrey is great at making me laugh, but I don't think he really compares to Williams, who does a good job in both comedies and dramatic roles and has explored both quite a bit. In spite of the fact that I like The Truman Show more than any of Williams' movies (and Carrey's acting really is impeccable in it), I'll have to go with Williams overall.

Robin Williams. Both are talented and both have done some very good and some very bad movies. For me Williams' stand up is the difference-absolutely insane and funny. IMHO, no one improves as well as him.

Definitely not one of the worst ever. However, I did watch The Mask recently after not having seen it in at least 8 years. Not as funny as I had remembered it.  |

In terms of their prime, I'm saying Jim Carrey. He could do lots with his face and body as well as having good ability to think on his feet.
I actual prefer Robin Williams in dramas overall. His comedy sometimes comes across as hacky (more stereotypical-based characters in his improv), but he has a certain weirdness and energy to me that can still pull out some laughs. Nowadays, neither of them interest me. |
