answer:I don’t think I’d match them up with DeVito and Martin. I would more likely put them in the class of Richard Prior, Gene Wilder, Cloris Leachman. Strike that. I put those previously named with the likes of Eugene Levy, Chris Guest, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean. I would call these groups “smart comedy”. Stiller could still fall into that group, but Farrell, Wilson, Black seemed destined to be in a group I would call “stupid comedy”. I am not saying that stupid comedy is not funny or that I don’t watch it. I do…like a teenage boy, I do! It’s sophomoric humor whereas I find the humor in movies like “Waiting for Guffman” and “Spinal Tap” to be very clever in how they make me laugh. Maybe this group could best be compared to the likes of Johnathon Winters and Buddy Hackett. Just my opinions. Good question.
