Comedians who aren't funny
 
Which comedians do you find entirely unfunny, when loads of other people seem to think they're hilarious?

TheMadcapLaughs 05.18.2010 11:14 AM

very obvious one, larry the cable guy

Rob Instigator 05.18.2010 11:30 AM

The guy who steals all his material
Dane Cook.

Count Mecha 05.18.2010 11:32 AM

Uh, Carlos Mencia, Dat Phan, everyone one of those motherfuckers on MadTV. And Colin Quinn.

Count Mecha 05.18.2010 11:33 AM

Ah, well I didn't read the second half of your question. I guess no one ever really though Dat Phan was funny.

demonrail666 05.18.2010 11:42 AM

I'm not sure how popular Lee Evans is outside the UK but he sells a shitload of DVDs here, inspite of the fact that he's not funny at all.
 

Derek 05.18.2010 11:48 AM

I came in here to say Dane Cook and Lee Evans, you bastards!

Dennis Miller.

jimbrim 05.18.2010 11:52 AM

Mark Watson, Jo Brand, Michael McIntyre, and all the Russell comedians (Howard, Kane, Brand).

there are so many other comedians i find entirely unfunny but haven't yet spoken to anyone else that finds them hilarious

jimbrim 05.18.2010 11:53 AM

Oh yeah Lee Evans, forgot about him.

space 05.18.2010 12:00 PM

sunday night, I went to a "comedy club" and so I will have to answer "just about every single one".

funny isn't easy. I don't envy their job of choice.

Count Mecha 05.18.2010 12:01 PM

 


Craig's the most painful late night host around.

atsonicpark 05.18.2010 12:30 PM

all comedians are unfunny aside from tom green.

Rob Instigator 05.18.2010 12:39 PM

you got it backwards methinks

tom green SUX. he has never been funny and will never be funny.

atsonicpark 05.18.2010 12:44 PM

Yeah.. um. Right.

Freddy Got Fingered is the funniest movie of all time.

Tom Green Show is the funniest show of all time.

Fact.

Who do you think is funny, Rob? Will Ferrel? Hahaha.

TheFoxBen 05.18.2010 12:57 PM

I came to say Dane Cook too.

Tom Green is awesome, I love Freddy Got Fingered.

And I also think Will Ferrell is funny as hell, the stuff he did with Adam McKay (Anchorman, Ricky Bobby, Step Brothers) is hilarious.

Derek 05.18.2010 01:02 PM

I don't find Bill Hicks that funny but I find him very entertaining to listen to. Does that make sense? Who knows.

Genteel Death 05.18.2010 01:21 PM

Ricky Gervais
Simon Pegg

pbradley 05.18.2010 01:25 PM

I like Lenny Bruce's stand-up as more of an entertaining lecture on American obscenity laws, though perhaps outdated, more than as comedy in and of itself.

But, I suppose I'm weary of the existence of comedy in and of itself.

Take it back.

Especially when that toolbox, Leno, is still around.

I am funnier than Tom Green.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.18.2010 01:41 PM

Tom Green is a really funny guy. Although, his current online show seems to be lacking a little in the humor department. He was always at his best when playing off of Glenn Humplik. I wish those two would just kiss, and make up already.

Or at least bring Phil Giroux back... c'mon Tom!

space 05.18.2010 01:48 PM

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.18.2010 01:50 PM

That floodingslowly guy was pretty funny too. I wonder what ever happened to him.

...


Hmmm...

Better_Than_Deux 05.18.2010 02:01 PM

carrot top (he looks funny; but he's not funny)
jeff foxworthy
I, too, say Dane Cook
Katy Griffith
Fran Drescher... i don't nkow if she's a comedian but i watched the nanny last night and it was AWFUL. AWFUL!!!
that guy with the puppets that has his own show for some reason
demitri martins new show (i loev his stand up. i think he's the cutest little big-nosed guy thats ever been featured on comedy central)

Is that the guy from There's Something About Mary?

EDIT: Nvm, yeah, fuck that guy...

space 05.18.2010 02:47 PM

FUNNY:

internet arguments over who's / what's funny / not funny

click...click...click...WHOOPS!...

You must spread some Reputation around...
Yes, craig is indeed the last one standing until CoCo makes his return on TNT.

Rob Instigator 05.18.2010 02:53 PM

He does pretty well for having to cater to the mainstream. What do you expect on network television? Something edgy and cutting edge?

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.18.2010 02:55 PM

:eek: Edgy AND cutting-edge!!!????!!!???

all sorts of edge.

NOT gonna happen on network television... I wonder how TNT will affect things. It will most likely be more of the same.

I won't.

Leno sucks too. But it doesn't change the fact that Craig has the sense of humor of a stamp.

Lurker 05.18.2010 04:56 PM

Tom green is not funny.

Lee Evans is not funny.

Rob Instigator 05.18.2010 05:06 PM

Only peopl who think Tom Green is funny are 11 year olds with nary a pube twixt their legs.

Yes

Toilet & Bowels 05.18.2010 05:17 PM

when i've seen tom green he mistakes shouting noises in people's faces for actual jokes. and the only time something funny happened he flipped out at that dude for carving up his desk with a chainsaw.

tim vine isn't funny
gervais is over rated
michael mcintyre
harry hill used to be funny but isn't anymore
jeremy clarkson would be funny if he got run over by an illegal immigrant

I'd rather just mention the ones that I do find funny, as I find 98% of them to be unfunny. I'm not a big fan of stand-up, so go figure.

Pax Americana 05.18.2010 06:04 PM

 


Jeff Dunham.

I fucking hate this guy. He is painfully unfunny. It seems like every time I turn my tv on, I see a promo for some comedy special of his. I can't escape this douche.

Also, Dane Cook, but he's been mentioned like 30 times already.
