adam sandler is whole "crew" of people that are always in his movies.
When some one needs to be whacked you call Don Leporleone,
When some one needs to be paid off you call Don Leporeloene,
When some one needs protection you call Don Leporeleone....
But when you buy canolis from the bakery you don't share them with Don Leporeleone, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully

By far, the comedy trio of the Three Stooges was perhaps the finest vaudevillian product ever to be seen (we're referring to the stuff during the late Ted Healy years w/ Shemp, the original years with Curly at Columbia, and afterwards at Columbia with Shemp).
There was nobody that did slapstick better, and they made it an art. I give props to Abbott and Costello, and Laurel and Hardy, but they, imho, cannot even begin to compare with the Three Stooges, especially considering their longevity and appeal that continues to reign even into 2004, more than half a century later.

This is getting scary now. First the Beatles, now The Stooges! Damn. Tell me again why we hate each other?  I LOVE the stooges. THey invented humor in my opinion. Facial expressions alone and slapstick. The Sultans of Slapstick. I just bought a 12 disc DVD set of Amazon with about 75 of their shorts. Ever see this JJ? If not, I highly suggest it. It's great.

Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

This is the greatest thing I have ever bought. I suggest it to any Stooge fan. It's just got SO many shorts. And SC, it has Women Haters too. Three Stooges Collection Doc

DonFerro - I just wish they would digitize ALL of the Stooges shorts and movies; it's a shame that only 75 are available, when there were over 200+ total, and an insane other amounts of independant projects, Ted Healy movies ("Soup to Nuts," for example), War Bond ads, etc.
A few years ago I picked up a copy of the out-of-print and relatively rare Moe Howard autobiography, but I am still unable to find a reasonble price on a copy of the Larry Fine autobiography for less than $300 at the online bookstores. It is very rare, and was written by Larry with assistance of his brother, if I recall, because of Larry's stroke and other medical problems. It's entitled, "A Stroke of Luck," and I would absolutely love to get my hands on a copy.

Not to get caught up in semantics or hair-splitting definitions, but I would consider Monty Python an ensemble, like Second City TV or Saturday Night Live.
When you think of comedy teams, a duo is usually what comes to mind or the Stooges and the Marx Bros.
All previous teams are great, but who could forget Burns and Allen, Stiller and Meara, Rowan and Martin, Allen and Rossi. Ed Sullivan always had one of those 'teams' on, but my heart belongs to the Stooges. I never missed them as a kid.

I do like the Marx Brothers corny comedy though. And although, not a team, and I haven't seen a whole lot of his movies, W.C. Fields was good as well.
