Jim Carrey is the funniest!(Sometimes he's excessive as capricorn.Also one of my favorite comedians/actors.)

I love both, despite both of them being non-funny for quite a bit of their careers. Robin Williams wins it for his versatility and energy. I love Patch Adams and Mrs. Doubtfire . He also played in one creepy ass movie:

Hmmm Tough one. As Rob said both are funny but both also have A LOT of non funny. I'll say Williams because he is just a silly b*****d

Jim Carrey is funny.
Robin Williams is a genius. Cocaine probably helped but that's his problem not mine.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Both are annoying and not funny at all....At least for me
I don't understand how anybody can laugh with movies as Ace Ventura or Dumb and Dumber, sorry, but IMO stupid movies

And I am in the process of writing a low star review on Hybris for the same reason!

Before you post that, check out Epilog...I think it's better in the post-dated history of prog.

Both annoying but one I can stand and like (Williams), the other I can't stand and dislike. I can't stand one Carrey movie.

Believe me, both are humor for Americans, at least here, nobody cares for them.
Despite this fact I liked the serious movies of Carey (when he doesn't make that comedy only for USA people) and Good Morning Vietnam.
If you don't like Hybris...It's your taste.

Just read Theo's post, Latin Americans usually don't like that kind of comedy.

I find Robin Williams pretty funny; I think Jim Carey is an idiot. The only role I've like Carey in was as Andy Kaufman

Neither of them currently. I have never found Jim Carrey to be funny ot a particularly good actor, but Robin Williams has had some great roles in a few superb movies, like The Fisherking and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Jim Carrey had Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Ace Ventura. Robin Williams had everything before Patch Adams. Overall Robin. I just wish he'd actually be funny again.

both huge talents, both have made some horrible films, but Robin is still a master of stand-up as his last several DVDs will attest so he gets my vote

Both. Williams is great as a stand up/improv,and his wide acting range and Carrey was great on In Living Color.
