Hulk Hogan in "Rocky III" is worthy of a spot in the Top 5. His performance was a laugh riot.

GRIM: Thanks! Yeah, you can't go wrong with those three. What would be interesting is seeing these guys square off in athletics. I got Mike Tyson winning by an ear.

Bob Eucker IS the best. And who doesn't still use his commercial line, "I must be in the front rooooow" in applicable situations? (Please tell me it's not just me.)

GRIM: That's hibiscus!
BECKEYE: I do still say that. I'll probably say it when I go to the Cubs game today. "He missed the tag!"

"Think of a happy place! Think of a happy place!" I grew up watching Cam Neely play in the NHL and I did not realize it was him the first time I saw "Dumb and Dumber". No. 10? Your list is fundamentally flawed, verging on the irresponsible.

NICERACK: Not at all! I appreciate you coming by. : )
NICPAPP: He really is good in it, but I decided his scene is really funny because the two main guys are so funny around him, with him being really scary. He's scary and believable, and he's a decent actor. Ultimately, the other guys just make me laugh more on their own. Sorry, brother. At least we both know Caddy Shack blows!

I mean, Caddyshack. You see, it sucks so hard I can't even spell it right.
