ChAiNz.2da Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 oddly enough, I think that list hit spot on. Pretty rare I agree with an entertainment article, but it's eerily frightening how I despise most (if not all) the comics the article listed Add Daniel Tosh & Bob Saget to it, and it's almost complete...

Astor Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 So, what comics do you love or just love to hate? Ricky Gervais. I can't stand him. As for likes, Don Rickles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 oddly enough, I think that list hit spot on. Pretty rare I agree with an entertainment article, but it's eerily frightening how I despise most (if not all) the comics the article listed I agree. Not a fan of any of them. Good to know I’m not the only one that does not believe Dane Cook is funny. An old friend of mine has one of Dane Cook’s standup performance on DVR and will play it every time there is a group in the room. Makes me want to puke or at the very least not go over there very often. So, what comics do you love or just love to hate? On the love list in no particular order: Richard Pryor Bill Cosby (seen him twice in concert and even though I disliked his sitcoms, I’ve always enjoyed his standup). Eddie Murphy George Carlin Chris Rock Rodney Dangerfield Red Foxx I wouldn’t exactly call it love, but I laughed hardest in my life at Sandra Bernhard show in mid 1980’s. Too bad she hasn’t said anything funny since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'd have to say my all time favorite is Mel Brooks. I LOVE his movies and all of the jokes he makes. Definetely not appropriate for young children though for fear they may say something racy at school. I haven't seen a commedian i dislike though.

Ctrl Alt Del Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'll personally murder anyone who doesn't even smile the slightest at a Jerry Seinfeld's performance. I think it's safe to say Charlie Sheen is a good comedian as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW01 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Ricky Gervais. I can't stand him. QFT. I hated The Office. Gave it a chance by watching the Pilot episode, but I've never been so bored and depressed while watching a comedy series... I'd add Lee Evans to that list. And Jimmy Carr. what comics do you love Billy Connelly is usually good. Dylan Moran has his moments as well, but Jack Dee and Michael McIntyre are among my favourites. And Bill Bailey.

The Betrayer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have to disagree with the presence of Jeff Dunham on the list. He's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quanon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QFT. I hated The Office. Gave it a chance by watching the Pilot episode, but I've never been so bored and depressed while watching a comedy series... Wasn't that the point of the series: to show miserable people, in a drap setting Can't say I was laughing a lot; but I think its a decent serie. Far less sweet and sugary like friends and all. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quanon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Mind I don't hate Friends, its well made. Buts differant to like, yeah, Black Adder. Or the Young Ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taak Farst Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Not really a comic, but Nathan from E4's Misfits was hilarious - not sure if america have had it yet, being an english show. I would happily drive a razor sharp knife through Ricky Gervais or Michael Mcintyre EDIT: And Lee Evans...he just is NOT funny.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Advocate Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 being a late night tv person, i love Leno, and while he was still on, Conan. Letterman is just too bitter. how long can one hold a grudge over a friggin tv show? Kimmel is alright. back in January, his impression of Leno was funny, but hes not the best. Lopez is "eh, could be funnier." he was decent on sitcoms, but at primetime/late nite, whatever he is, no. just no. and then theres Fallon. hes terrible. his "Thank You" segment can be humorous, but not hilarious. ive never seen Ferguson, but from what ive heard, hes not funny at all and is just lazy. and those are just the people that are still alive.

True_Avery Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 On that list I'd -sorta- disagree with Lisa Lampanelli and Jeff Dunham. Jeff can be pretty hit or miss, but what I've seen of his standup on comedy central isn't bad. Lisa... can't say much other than she is the highlight of the Roasts. They aren't great, but they aren't Dane Cook bad. As for my favorite... meh, don't really have a favorite. Almost any comedian can put out some funny, and put out some real facepalms. I actually tend to find the private, lesser known comedians to be the funniest: Those guys that come up on a comedy central special once or twice then almost never appear again. Like Gabriel Iglesias and Mitch Hedberg. I'll personally murder anyone who doesn't even smile the slightest at a Jerry Seinfeld's performance. Watched Jerry Seinfeld and watched some Seinfeld show and never laughed. He is, in my experience, one of the least funny comedians ever birthed. I happen to realize he has a huge following, particularly on the east coast, but... he just isn't funny to me. That, and I enjoy hating on him because of his Twilight-loyal fanbase. That said, I wouldn't put him on any worst comedian list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Russell Howard, never once have I so much as smiled at any of his material, just don't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I disagree with Lisa Lampanelli and Frank Caliendo on that list, always found them funny XD I can't stand Jimmy Fallon though, and Letterman can be extremely bland at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawathehutt Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I've got to agree with those first 3, how on earth jeff dunham managed to get a show is beyond me, I don't even care that hes racist, hes just not funny at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Watched Jerry Seinfeld and watched some Seinfeld show and never laughed. That said, I wouldn't put him on any worst comedian list. I agree that Seinfeld is overrated. After watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, I'm gonna say that Larry David is probably much funnier than Jerry could hope to be. Seinfeld has never really been more than the straightman/foil for others. On another note, always liked the wry/ironic comedy of Steven Wright, what I've seen of it anyway. For low-brow comedy antics....Dave Attel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I agree about everyone on that list except for Calliendo. He can be a little unfunny at times, but his impressions are excellent. He can't really help the fact that he doesn't look like everyone he impersonates. Ricky Gervais. I can't stand him. I love Ricky Gervais. And the original Office. And the US Office.
