In thinking of the DELIVERY of the lines, and not the lines themselves, who do you think was the funniest? That is, who was the one who had the most genuine comedic talent? Think of the tone of voice, facial expression, mannerisms, and timing when considering your answer.

I think Danny B. was the funniest!

I think that overall Danny was given some of the best lines to deliver, he did and still does have great verbal timing!

As far as the funniest though, I would have to say David. This takes into account his timing in response to always being the butt of the joke, his mannerisms, facial expressions and his ability to do physical comedy. To this day, it is his reaction to the other cast members that always makes me laugh the hardest!

I would have to say that Danny and Dave Madden (Reuben) were the funniest.

Danny, without a doubt---he was the one with the loud mouth!! (especially to Shirley's character, and in real life, if I recall that People Magazine article correctly!)

That honor goes to Danny, who obviously was a better comedian than he was a singer.

I would have to say Keith just because of his reaction to the jokes at his expense.

I think the writers were the funniest, but if you are talking about the actors...
I'd have to say DANNY.

Dave Madden just turned 72 last month, according to a few Internet sources, so he's happy and retired now. He did commercial voiceovers for several years. I think he the voiceovers for the Denny's ("Lenny's") commercials roughly ten years ago, and I think I heard his voice recently on a TV Land Retromercial for Ford vans. The van in the commercial is quite psychedelic, sort of like the Partridge Family bus. :)
BTW, I thought Dave Madden was the funniest for his comic reactions to Danny and other cast members.

Keith had me in stiches. I agree with Steph@cassidyland. The way David (Keith) delivered his lines he was so believable.

David. Thought he was great at physical comedy. I remember one episode the family was auditioning busdrivers and the way he dodged to get out of the way of the speeding bus was hilarious.

I think that Keith was pretty funny. Danny was funny, but also got on my nerves sometimes.
