    I will go with Will Ferrell because I think he has more of a range of comedic roles that he can play.

    Ben Stiller has been pretty much stuck with romantic comedies or roles where he plays the guy where everything always goes wrong since There's Something About Mary.

    Adam Sandler hasn't put out a really funny movie since Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore.

    All three of them are awesome, three of the best. They've all had hilarious roles, but Ferrell has had a lot of different stuff that really makes you laugh your ass off. I went with him, even though my two favorite movies ever are Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. I really like Sandler, but haven't really liked his later movies (haven't seen Longest Yard yet, Click was solid).

    Enough said:

    <object width="425" height="353"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZWfDtNRvA4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZWfDtNRvA4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="353"></embed></object>

    NSFW language

    Sandler plays it too safe with all those PG13 movies.

    I'm looking forward to Stiller's Heartbreak Kid. He's back with the Farrelly's in their first rated R movie since Something About Mary. Good times ahead.

    Are we just talking about their comic acting? Or are we talking about their movie making, and overall comedic impact?

    Overall I would choose Stiller. The best comic actor is Ferrel. I love Sandler's first 2 movies a lot, and like some of the others as well.

    Sandler's last decent movie was probably Big Daddy, and even that movie isn't worth watching more than once...so then you have to go back to I guess Wedding Singer.

    Ferrell's movies are all watchable over and over and have some of the funniest moment's I've seen in awhile. Anchorman's tv news crew brawl is classic.

    Stiller is good but not quite on the same level as the other two in terms of laughs.

    Adam Sandler's performance in Punch-Drunk Love was criminally underratted. He should have won an Oscar.

    If just between them 3 then I'll go with Sandler. Never have really like Ferrell or Stiller. If you're talking overall, none of them.

    I think all of these guys are funny as heck. Ferrel is the funniest, IMO. Stiller is probably the best -actor-. Sandler is a horrible actor- his schtick his last few movies was...Adam Sandler. It's almost like he's bored and just collecting a paycheck.

    right NOW, its Will hands down.. although none of his movies can compete with Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore.. except maybe Anchorman. Ben Stiller is a horrible comedic actor. He knows comedy, he just isn't good and conveying it. He is one of the most unfunny people I have ever seen.

    Will Ferrell always makes me laugh and I enjoy Ben Stiller a lot. Adam Sandler is one of the unfunniest people I have ever seen.

    ben stiller is who i chose (zoolander was the deciding factor although ferrels role was great in that too).

    they all typically do the same thing in most of their films. Ferrell plays an idiot. Stiller plays a guy with bad luck. Sandler, well sandler does have a little more range.
