The world nowadays revolves around laughter in order to keep the day moving! So, who do we turn to when we don’t have our hilarious friends or alcohol around to keep us entertained?

20. Jim Parsons
Bazinga! This adorable man plays the cutest, wackiest nerd on television! Jim Parsons is best known for his character Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory. His crazy scientific theories and sarcastic yet blunt humor mixed with the innocence of a child puts Jim Parsons at number 20 on our list!
19. Rose Byrne
I cannot express enough the love that I have for this woman! From seeing her for the first in the movie The Internship, where she played Owen Wilson’s love interest, then when she caught her leading role in the movie Neighbors alongside Vince Vaughn, where she was just utterly hysterical! Then, leading up to the movie that I just recently watched her in, Spy, alongside my other woman crush Wednesday, Melissa McCarthy—she was just fabulous and amazingly funny!
18. James Franco
I have been following James Franco’s career ever since he starred as Harry in Spiderman than went on to play in General Hospital as James Franco! This man is extremely good looking as well as talented and funny!
He’s starred in films such as Pineapple Express, This is the End, The Interview and many other films! This guy will always know how to have a good time.
17. David Franco
For those of you who don’t know, James Franco has a little brother named David Franco, and my god the Franco genes must be strong in good looks for this family! Good looks as well as comedy because David is just hilarious! From 21 Jump Street to Neighbors and a cameo in 22 Jump Street, he is definitely a celebrity to follow in the world of comedy.
16. Jimmy Fallon
Late night with Jimmy Fallon…if you’re not watching this at least on Youtube to catch any episodes you’ve missed, I don’t know what you’re doing! Jimmy’s crazy humor and getting celebrities outside of their comfort zone to laugh with him and at themselves makes this guy number one funny, number two self-confident, and number three, number sixteen on our list. Definitely check him out!
15. Ben Stiller
From the Disney movie Heavy Weights to Dodgeball and the now popular children/adult series Night at the Museum, Ben Stiller is an ultimate classic to hilarity! He’s sarcastic, sometimes mean with his jokes (as the script is written) and just knows how to make people laugh!
14. Vince Vaughn
Another Dodgeball, Vince Vaughn alumni has had a small role in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and although his role was small, he knew how to make it big. I remember watching it and just counting time until Vince came back on screen to make me laugh again. He has starred in plenty of movies since then such as, yet not in order, Delivery Man, The Internship, Wedding Crashers and many more.
13. Kevin James
Most people know him as Paul Blart nowadays, but I know him as Adam Sandler’s partner in crime to his crazy antics in Grown Ups 1 and 2! Kevin James started as a stand-up comedian who has made his way to adults’ televisions as well as children’s number one movies to see!
12. Jason Sudeikis
Jason Sudeikis, also known as the Drug Dealer—I’m sorry, Drug Smugler—in the movie, We’re The Miller’s! I can honestly say that that was my first time seeing Jason in ANYTHING so, of course, after this movie, I became a movie stalker and watched everything he’s ever been in and I’m excited to see more!
11. Jason Bateman
Jason Bateman is another man who I just obsess over when he’s on my screen! He just has this air about him that is so calm, humble and peaceful that it leaves you shocked when he just drops the F-bomb. He is definitely somebody to look for when you have a second—you will not be disappointed!
10. Cameron Diaz
I’ve watched Cameron Diaz since I was a little girl and have always found her to be extremely funny! Lately, since obviously I have grown up enough to watch her more raunchy movies such as Bad Teacher (personal favorite) and Sex Tape, I now know that I have always had good taste!
9. Kevin Hart
This stand-up comedian-turned-famous-actor has placed a huge foot in the door of comedy! His light humor and crazy antics leave his fans wanting more! He is definitely somebody to watch when you’re at home looking to laugh.
8. Will Ferrell
What is not to love about this man? He is absolutely hysterical! From Blades of Glory to Anchorman 1 and 2, The Campaign, Step Brothers and his duo with Kevin Hart in the movie Get Hard, he just gets better and better!
7. Amy Pohler
Some baby-mama drama in here! This blonde bundle of joy can make you laugh with anything she’s in. You can tell she puts her own spin on her characters to make them likeable and laughable. She is definitely one to watch!
6. Tina Fey
You can’t have one without the other! Tina Fey and Amy Pohler are just a force to be reckoned with. They are as hilarious together as they are separately! Tina Fey is known for her awkward, laid back yet extremely funny characters! This earns her the number six spot on our list!
5. Jonah Hill
Oh, Jonah Hill…I don’t think I’ve been disappointed with anything that I have seen from him! I cracked up while watching The Sitter, 21 and 22 Jump Street, This is the End and so many more! He so deserves the number five spot on our list!
4. Lewis Black
Let me just say that it is so hard to think of this man without thinking of the F-word every second! I first started watching Lewis Black’s stand-up comedy and the second he shouted I was just in love!
He speaks the utter truth about anything and everything., You can always expect him to speak his mind and share his opinion! If I were you my lovely readers, I would check out some of his stand-up as well as movies such as the very popular Accepted and the latest children’s movie Inside Out.
3. Adam Sandler
I feel like Adam Sandler came out of the womb cracking jokes! He must have made his doctor laugh! Almost everybody knows who Adam Sandler is whether you were a Saturday Night Live viewer or just a comedy junkie. Adam Sandler has always been there to make others laugh. He reserves the right to number three on our list.
2. Robin Williams
The late yet incredible Robin Williams has inspired many before and since his death. He started off as a measly Alien and left here a child-loving comedy god. Although most of his movies weren’t all comedies, he found a way to inject some comedy into serious roles. Please do yourselves a favor and look up everything and anything Robin Williams.
1. Melissa McCarthy
It’s time for number one on our list, Melissa McCarthy! This foul-mouthed, hilarious beauty has been in comedy for as long as I can remember! I first encountered her on my screen as Sookie St. James on the ever-popular show Gilmore Girls, and although I feel like she left our screens for a little bit, she came back in FULL force! She starred alongside Jason Bateman in the movie Identity Thief, then alongside Sandra Bullock in The Heat, and more recently alongside Jude Law and Rose Byrd in Spy! If you ever need a laugh, be sure to check her out!
