The Funniest Moments Of 2014

The 60 Funniest Moments Of 2014
By 

Associate Comedy Editor

2014 had its fair share of ups and downs in the comedy world. On the upside, Jimmy Fallon ushered in a new era of "The Tonight Show" with resounding success, "Weird Al" had a No.1 album, Amy Poehler wrote a fantastic book/ memoir/ life guide, Chris Rock made "Top Five" and John Oliver brought us the best new show on television.

On the downside, we were confronted with even more allegations against Bill Cosby and lost a few of comedy's greats including Robin Williams and Joan Rivers. They will be sorely missed.

To end 2014 on a positive note, we've rounded up 60 of the most hilarious, viral and memorable moments in comedy from the last year. Here's to a great 2015!
