5. The 12th Man (aka Billy Birmingham)
6. Glenn Robbins
7. The guy from Pizza
8. Karl Stefanovic
9. Malcolm Turnbull
10. Dave Hughes

No love for Barry Humphries or Clive James? Tony Martin is one of the better comic writers going round too.

 

[Gralin]

Malcolm did laugh at that

Lol Micallef is about as funny as getting your nads stuck in your jeans zipper. KS is a nobhead and Dave Hughes is about as funny as having 6 ingrown hairs in your arsehole.

The guy from fat pizza Paul Fenwch also in Housos is ******* fantastic though

Barry and Clive unlucky.

Tony Martin is a Kiwi so doesn't count.

My top 6 were serious. the last 4 were just trolling.

Peter Helliar is funnier than Dave Hughes.

I forgot about Lano and Woodley, I'd put them ahead of the guy from Pizza.

That St Kilda bloke on Big Footy that's always whinging about the umpires is up there for me

Pauly Fenech the Pizza Guy is awesome.

My OP appears a bit sexist as there are no females listed.

That's because women aren't funny.

Jane Turner, Gina Riley, Magda Szubanski and Judith Lucy were all close to making my top 10 though.

Big Girls Blouse was a great spin off.

Any list containg Lehmo should be immediately disqualified

 

[Plugger35]

I forgot to mention The Sandman.



He's right up there.

 

[Catfish Alley]

A lot of these seem old. I left Australia 7 years ago and most listed were well along in their career. Nobody new on the scene?
