Charlie Chaplin is officially one of the funniest people I have ever seen on screen. I watched his film "The Immigrant" and "The Kid" (both you can watch on youtube) in my film history class recently. His understanding of how to use his body and facial expressions for comedic affect are unreal. Such clever gags. He's one of the very few people in history that you can just put a camera in front of and not have to do anything else, just let them do what they do and you will be mesmerized.
