Martin. Damon was a beast though.

good question
Martin had a better longer run cause season 1 to 4 was great
In Living Color was ground breaking the first 2 seasons and then it started to show some dents in its armor
I think the first 2 seasons of In Living Color are better than Martin

Martin. But its closer than I wanna admit. I think damon was in better overall stuff than Martin was until he got that 95' powerup with Bad Boyz

True
I think Damon has had the better run
looking back, Martin had fallen off by Runteldat
Runteldat wasn’t bad but it was very very very avaerage compared to Martin historic 90’s run.
I think Martin’s last classic film was Life
every movie post that just felt flat

Fair assessment! (I can agree with Life too) I think they had the same impact, their runs just stopped/started around the same time.
Does 86-04 (Dame) 90-06 (Martin) sound in line?
Don't seem like dame was in anything heavy after 95 though, why do I feel like I've seen Bamboozled for sum reason?

damn, how I forget about my wife and kids

84 for Damon professionally, like movie wise, but i think he was doing stand up since like 82'
Damon was making movies between tv and movies post 95'
98' he had a show but it didn't last a season. He played a detective on it. Show was named "Damon"
Post 95' movies, he was in a few movies; Celtic Pride, The Great White Hype, and Bulletproof; all were release in 96'
Bamboozled came out in 2000. Very underrated film directed by Spike Lee.
And then in the 2000's he had the tv show
By the 2000's, Martin had cooled off, a lot. He was in movies and shows, but it just wasn't the same in any way. Like not even a flicker or flare of his glory days

Oh, I got you now!
when you say that though, are you meaning quality of work or passion? or financial, box office success?

My initial question was just asking in terms of who was funnier comedian in terms of all of their work; standup and movies
Standup - Martin
Everything else - Damon
Everything else - Damon
