"The comedy team is a sacred show-business relationship. From the beginning of time, when Eve asked Adam if he wanted a bite to eat, having two or more characters deliver the jokes has always meant more laughs for your money. Whether the team was a husband and wife, a jokester and his straight man or an ensemble pun-fest, comedy teams have left us rolling in the aisles since, well, since there were aisles. In no particular order, here' our favorite top 20, guaranteed to split a rib or two. 1. Smothers Brothers Starting out with Mom always liked you better jokes, the real-life brothers evolved into a very liberal, very funny act. https://youtu.be/oghxf-HS6go 2.

The Three Stooges Stars of TV and film, the Stooges invented comedic violence. Nyuck nyuck. 4. Cheech & Chong Everything seems funny after you've sparked up a fatty. Especially these two stoners. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vCWxgfTMLtc0 5. Amos & Andy These two white guys were a hit back in the early days of TV and radio, wearing blackface and playing on every negative racial stereotype you can imagine.

Burns & Allen This husband-and-wife team had an enormously popular radio and TV show in the 50s.

Lucy & Ethel While their husbands were away, these best friends got themselves into more jams and fixes that any two women ever did.
