Which comedian do you not find funny

[poggy]

You asked so here goes...

Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Cooghan, Sacha Baron Cohen, Will Ferrell, Jim Carey, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Ricky Gervais and I could go on.

 

[member006]

I agree with Jim Carey and Seinfeld.

I don't care for Scrubs or The Office, I do think Earl is funny.

Lenny Henry - I used to like him back in the 80's, but now his humour is just tired and boring (and his wife Dwn French is unfunny too)

Peter Kay - I'm probably going to cop some flak for this choice, but I just don't find him that funny.
I thought the John Smiths adverts he did were amusing...but that's all.

Graham Norton - again, I used to like his 'so, Graham Norton' show..but it's all 'cock n cunt' jokes - give us a break.


Alan Davies - yes the 'Keegan-permed' bloke who often turns up on panel shows -not strictly speaking a 'comedian', because comedian tend to have 'acts' and 'jokes'.


Lee Hurst - remember 'They think it's all over' when it first started?... he was great on that.
Then he went onto stand-up..and was crap.


Phil Jupitus - The only funny thing about him is his name.

Harry Hill - Am I the only person in the world not in on his 'jokes'?... - listen mate, huge lapels do NOT make an act.


Rhona Cameron - Little known.. and probably best left that way.


Billy Connolly - Scraggy beard and unwashed hair can only go so far.


Julian Clary - You're Gay?? - sheesh we'd never have known...any non-sex jokes pal?

Comedians I have never found funny:

Robin Williams
George Lopez
Sacha Baron Cohen
Cedric the entertainer
Dennis Miller
The entire current cast of Saturday Night Live
Carrottop
The Wayans brothers
The Baldwin brothers
Gallagher
Jimmy Kimmel
Ben Stein
Adam Carolla

Comedians that I may have found funny the first time I heard them or might have once been funny but their act is now old and that the new car smell has worn off of them. Or perhaps they are good still, but not what they used to be where I feel others overrate them:

Al Franken
Jeff Foxworthy
Jerry Seinfeld
Adam Sandler
Eddie Murphy
Jim Carey
Chris Rock
Conan O'Brian
David Letterman
Jay Leno
Larry the Cable Guy
Frank Caliendo

 

[trickster223]

Robin Williams (very switched on though)

Kramer- not just because he's a racist but the guy really isn't funny.

Letterman

 

[Iamforever]

dont like him, but this could be the greatest song ever written

 

[acid14]

Joan Rivers
Carrottop is a joke
Graham Norton
theres a few good comedians here in Australia though

 

[titsrock]

I fucking can't stand Jim Carrey. Most overrated piece of shit ever. I also don't like Andy Dick, all Saturday Night Live sketches that get turned into bad, bad movies...

Jerry Seinfeld was great. Now, who knows. I like Jay Leno. I don't dislike Letterman. I just think he's not as funny as people think he is. Jimmy Kimmel is pretty cool. John Stewart is great. I *heart* Bill Maher. He's my favorite comic.

 

[YMIHERE]

Rush Limbaugh

 

[tartanterrier]

Ricky Gervais. :ban:

 

[spartan7]

Any female comedian and Dane Cook.

 

[ÆGEAN]

there are many American comedians i just dont understand... maybe it is the nation's humour i tend to understand. Love my Brit, Aussie and Canadian humour! as well as other places around Europe!

 

[thorsif]

Lee Evans, Dawn French, Harry Enfield:lame:

 

[bustman]

Chris Rock is not funny at all. I hate all that black/white shit he talks about.

 

[jumbo_jim]

Ricky Gervais and David Walliams. Just not funny at all.

 

[anomaly]

Sam Kinison, Any Female Comics, Dane Cook, Robin Williams, Carlos Mencia, Andy Kindler, Howie Mandel, Carrot Top, Michael Richards.

 

[om3ga]

Ricky Gervais. :ban:

No objection there - I've never liked that "Simpson" episode he wrote (aka the SKY HD plug) and at best I've found him mildly funny...but that's it.

 

[panther]

Andy Dick...terrible. Jimmy Kimmel if a host can be considered a comedian. Jim Carrey and Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson)

 

[plucap]

I don't think many comedians are funny. But I particularly hate the kind of comedians who always do these obvious jokes. For example if a fat chick walks into a stage you know she's gonna do jokes about being obese, and if a black man does stand up he has to comment all the different races.

Overall, stand up comedy isn't very funny. I like more "hidden humor" like Bill Murray in the Life Aquatic and Napoleon Dynamite. Where it's not about waiting for the big joke, but more of being constantly smiling.

But yeah about who I particularly hate: Jerry Seinfeld and his corny jokes.
