They are all equally, if not more, funny as Matthew Perry in the show as evidence by the quotes below:

Funny Mr. Sunshine Quotes by Allison Janney as Crystal

Allison Janney plays the owner of the Sunshine Center, Crystal. The first scene we are introduced to her as she's crawling around on the floor asking Ben (Matthew Perry), "have you seen a small white pill with some Spanish written on it? ...Did I already take the pill?"

Crystal: I just hate it when the circus is here. Clowns terrify me. Are they happy? Are they sad? Why are their pockets so big?

Crystal: See that oil painting of me? They don't do oil paintings of people who don't own things.

In a scene with Matthew Perry, she asks him to look over a speech she's giving. He comments, "I don't think you should open with 'yay black kids'" She replies, "well, when should I say it?". Her character's political incorrectness is part of her humor.

Funny Mr. Sunshine Quotes by James Lesure as Alonzo

Actor James Lesure plays the optimistic Alonzo. His perspective of things is part of his humor.

For instance in this quote, Matthew Perry asks Alonzo, "what do you think it means when a girl sends a text saying 'we need to talk'? Alonzo replies: "I think it means you have an opportunity to get closer. What's better than that?"

Alice to Ben: (sexual innuendo quote) Which one of your special moves is when you look up and say 'I'm sorry, I don't know just what happened'?

Alice to Ben: Look, I know we said we hate commitment and I signed up for this friends with benefits thing but this morning I woke up at your place alone which means you snuck out of your own apartment, and I couldn't find my underwear until I pulled them out of my purse while paying for coffee, and although I did get a free coffee, I need more.

Ben: Ok well, this is a very exciting place, we've got political conventions, sports, the rodeo, lingerie football, motocross, does any of that interest you at all?

Roman: I do not know what two of those things are.
