Let's talk about comedians who aren't funny...

[Markbnj]

Jerry Seinfeld is the most overrated comic of all time. I have never even once chuckled or smiled at one of his "non-jokes"

"What is the deal" with this guy?

I have to agree he's not laugh-out-loud funny when he is doing stand-up. But I found the antics of the show's ensemble to be hilarious.

Dane Cook is funny for sure.

George Carlin, how did anyone find this guy funny. Angry old man, that was terrible.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Gabriel Isglesias - 404 funny not found.
I have no clue how this guy makes a living off his lame ass act.

Now who's funny? That's' the question.
George carlin (RIP)
Eddie Murphy
Sam Kinison (RIP)
Jim Breuer
Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
To name a few.

I agree, lets turn this around into Who is funny... I need some new ones to look-up.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Dane Cook is funny for sure.

George Carlin, how did anyone find this guy funny. Angry old man, that was terrible.

Things like this tell you a lot about the poster.

Drinks cheap college beer/drinks all the time.
Thinks college fart jokes are funny.
Doesn't pay attention to anything that is actually important in life (politics, finances, etc...).

[Perknose]

Never saw such a bunch of curmudgeons with nothing better to do that tell everyone what they don't like.

What is it you think that you just did?

I listen to the comedy channel on Slacker Radio and find just about all comics funny in short bursts, but I will almost always skip...

Adam Sandler - especially when he's making stupid voices. His few shining moments were on SNL when he sung things like Lunch Lady Land and the the Hanukkah Song.

Any comic trying to do comedy music. Very, very few comedy songs are actually funny.

The stupid prank phone call bit. Crank Yankers was funny about 60% of the time. Nobody else should even try.

Sarah Silverman. I used to dislike a lot of female comics, but for some reason the ones I've been listening to lately seem to be pretty funny. I can't say the same for Sarah.

Any comic that has poor timing. A few seconds off dead air and poor timing can kill otherwise good material.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Dave Attell and revisiting one of my favorites Doug Stanhope. Stand up comedy is just fun.

And Fluffy haters gonna hate.

Seinfeld for sure, but maybe cuz I'm not Jewish.


Mitch Hedberg was awesome. RIP.

Amy Schumer - I watched the first few episodes of her show, but then it all became vagina vagina vagina vagina penis vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina. If any male "comedian" goes penis penis penis, I will also turn it off.

I don't find Aziz Ansari funny, but he's okay. Kevin Hart's good from what I've seen so far too. He also seems pretty chill in person from his TMZ "interviews."

Chelsea Handler - Tried to watch her show a few times... Didn't laugh.

Carrot Top is the biggest surprise. I wanted to not like him but he has me ROFLing every time.

 

[dank69]

Amy Schumer is one of the only female comedians I find funny.

I came in here to say that Schumer's special on CC made me laugh. Never saw her show though, just the standup.

 

[Perknose]

My curmudgeonly list:

Jeff Dunham
Carrot Top
Gallagher
Jeff Foxworthy
Sarah Silverman
Dane Cook
Kathy Griffin
Chelsea Handler
Larry the Cable Guy
Margaret Cho
Aziz Ansari

Special Cinematic Edition:

Will Farrell
Adam Sandler
Melissa McCarthy
Ben Stiller

Ones that others here hate that I like:

Fluffy
Amy Schumer
Dennis Miller ~ 15 years ago
George Carlin (!)

Stephen Lynch is all about songs, and he is fucking hilarious.

shut your whore mouth!!!!

 

[gorcorps]

Yeah, he's the only one that pulls it off though

 

[Majcric]

Its easier to talk about the very few who are. As most of them are not.

 

[Tsavo]

None of the people claiming to be comedians are funny...with the exception of the occasional hilarious roast.

 

[MongGrel]

Unless being crass counts as comedy, Sarah Silverman.

I'd forgotten her, I'd put her up there as the female version of a bad Adam Sandler.

 

[MongGrel]

I actually loved Miller on MNF--it was so bizarre and bad most of the time, that it was good. Makes sense that he could not have lasted beyond that season, though. It was as if the NFL had acknowledged giving up all pretense that their sport isn't primarily for pure entertainment.

Anyway, I thought the contrast of his anodyne references amidst the dumb jocks in the booth (Fouts--and I love Fouts. Miller and Fouts together was hilarious) was quite refreshing.

I will agree on the it was bizarre part

The guy with the puppets. Not sure what his name is but he is dumb.

Jeff Dunham. Sweet Jeebus, he sucks.

Agreed. Nothing makes me switch comedy stations quicker in the car. Here's one that I think is exceptional though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qUiyjg08qY Great blend of talent with just enough comedy. "Oh no, it costs too much." Wait for it.

 

[DrPizza]

Jeff Dunham. Sweet Jeebus, he sucks.

To be fair, he's funny the first time you ever see him. It's just that after that, the whole routine is always the same.

 

[NutBucket]

Dane Cook is funny for sure.

George Carlin, how did anyone find this guy funny. Angry old man, that was terrible.

Exactly this!

Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling

This guy is TERRIBLE.

A name I didn't see mentioned was Russell Peters. Sorry, dude just isn't funny.
