the late German actor, director, writer and cartoonist Vico van Bülow, better known under his pseudonym Loriot, was extremely funny. his specialty was getting the characters in his sketches into undignified situations and trying to keep their dignity. many of his sketches were with Evelyn Hamann, who was a congenial partner.

here an example of one of his most famous sketches with Evelyn Hamann, with English subtitles:

Of these, I'd go with Carlin. Steven Wright is also a favorite.

That's a tough question since they appeal to different sensibilities and different generations....I grew up watching Hope , Rickles , and Winters and Carlin later.
I was a fan of all the Hope Road movies and his standup in the early days.....Winters was very funny in some films and when he was ad libbing.....Rickles was hit or miss for me. Carlin was very good at times but could also be a bit self inflated...especially when he got older.

For intellect, Carlin.  For creative talent, Winters.
