The Top 10 Most Unfunny Comedians of All Time
The Top 10 Most Unfunny Comedians of All Time
<abbr class="published" title="2009-01-09T09:30:40+0000">January 9, 2009</abbr> - 9:30 am By COED Staff http://coedmagazine.files.wordpress....pg?w=600&h=366 Were not sure how theyve done it, but by some dastardly karmic injustice these 10 a-holes have made successful careers for themselves as comedians by being about as funny as putting your dog to sleep. For whatever idiotic reason, everyone went along with the shams long enough to make these people into celebrities. Were not saying we could do their jobs better, were just saying it wouldnt have been hard to find someone who could. So without further adieu The Top 10 Most Unfunny Comedians of All Time. Disclaimer: Its no surprise that Dane Cook made this list being that hes such an amazing, incredible douchebag. However in the spirit of full disclosure we must admit that Dane Cook was on the cover of the print edition of COED Magazine in 2006. But thats all in the past from the days when COED was run by delusional idiots who wished they were Danes buffer boys. Were not them. http://coedmagazine.com/2009/01/09/t...s-of-all-time/ |
Scratch the following people:
Whoopi Goldberg Sinbad Replace with: Sarah Silverman Larry the Cable Guy Also, fuck the magazine for NOT getting the brilliance of Gallagher. When he wasn't smashing shit with a hammer, he had some of the most intelligent observations of all time. Sadly, people only remember his smashing shit with a hammer. |
Awful, awful article. First, I love that they're trying to hide the fact that they're just trend following dickheads who loved Dane Cook when it was trendy to like him and now hate him because it's trendy. And their reasoning for making the list is horrendous. Like the write-up about Sindbad: "In fact, we can’t remember a single joke this dude has told since 1987." Then how the fuck do you know he's unfunny, asshole?
They rip on Richard Lewis for his act just being him talking about how much he sucks. Yet I bet these same people loved Rodney Dangerfield and thought he was great at pointing out his own shortcomings. And yet these writers get paid for this. Fascinating. |
I agree with all, this is a terrible list. Pretty much everyone on that list, as much as I like some and hate others are solid comedians in their own way. They at least have some sense about it. It's clearly a trendy article and I would wager they really haven't seen much stand up from many of these individuals. And I would wonder what they label as unfunny as well. To of my favorite comedians are Lenny Bruce and Andy Kaufman. They aren't really crazy laugh out loud type of comedians to me. Should they be labeled as unfunny for that?
|
I watched the Blue Collar stuff for Ron White which is one of my top current favorites, and while I really dont like Larry the Cable Guy, its not the worst thing Ive ever seen, same goes for Jeff Foxworthy if he isn't doing lame "you might be a redneck.." jokes. The worst of the 4 was always Bill Engvall, who basically stole Foxworthy's concept and tried to run with it "something ridiculously stupid...HERES YOUR SIGN" but they were always really stupid.
As for Larry the Cable Guy, he was 10x worse before he became a Cable guy. |
I don't hate Dane Cook or find him unfunny at all but he was funnier when he first appeared on Comedy Central. Also Jim Gaffigan has changed his style also but people still think he's great but he was much more hilarious back then.
|
If Dane Cook is not #1, the list is wrong.
|
Horrible list. Seems like they could do it as groups per rank instead of 1 at a time per ranking like how they say Gallaghar is bad but Carrot Top is the worst of that style.
Only one I sort of agree with is Fallon but he's getting better on the Tonight Show and if he could find a way to make the monologues flow better, the show wouldn't seem a bit awkward the 1st 5-10 minutes. His time on SNL was horrible though. |
Thing is, if Dane Cook was funny, he would be hilarious.
|
Jimmy Fallon :heart:
|
that was ridiculous
|
The thing that bothered me was that they kept calling "Late Night" the "Late Show." Idiots. But I cannot disagree with some of their choices too much. Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia, especially.
|
All Americans, too. Never look beyond your own borders for anything. There are some atrocious comedians in the UK and over here, you know.

<font color=goldenrod>I pretty much agree with Supreme. Saying Dane Cook is the most unfunny comedian of ALL TIME is absolutely absurd and is nothing more than jumping on the bandwagon. Guaranteed they found him hilarious at some point.</font>

There's a few that I would actually agree with here especially Griffin & Cook but there are others more worthy of this list such as Sean Cullen he's very unfunny to me just maybe not as well known.
|
I also find it funny that people are still on the Carlos Mencia "stealing jokes" kick.
Most of the jokes he's "stolen" are so old they were being told in the 70s when the risque business was really picking up. A couple of them sound like shit Carlin and Bruce were saying before that. And some of them were told by Carlin, as some of the mocking "stolen joke" videos on Youtube would demonstrate. BAWWWWWWWWWWWW abotu him being uncreative, maybe, but not about him stealing the jokes. Whoever you think he "stole" them from, I can almost guarantee you that guy did not come up with them. |
Dane Cook is kinda funny.
|
Carlos Mencia just sucks, I dont care about him stealing anything.
|
I like Dane Cook.
|
I could see Spilchuk and Dane Cook hanging out together.
|
Jeff Dunham is the most overrated comedian out there right now.
|
I enjoyed Dane Cook's earlier work, but haven't paid any attention to him for the past few years. I guess I got my "fix" and moved on.

I don't even remember if this shit was funny at some point, cause it got so old, so fast. |
I'm gonna stop posting until Sixx catches up and then we'll be posting buddies.
|
Don't you worry, I'll catch up anyway.
Remember, I'm not only unemployed but also sporting some sleeping disorders! Woo! |
I see your Dane Cooks and Carlos Mencias and raise you Dave Hughes.

The numbers one and two were spot on.
|
I have posted my opinion on Dane Cook many times. I was considered a "hater" at first and now I am gay because I think he is alright. phuck you
Jeff Dunham needs to be on this though. I don't really know enough to really know who should and shouldn't be on the list/shitty australians or whatever mitchanthropic was talking about but Jeff Dunham is so bad. Just wow@ Jeff Dunham. F*cking enrages me when people love JEff Dunham. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. He is also the #3 most watched video on Youtube or something. wtf that many people really like him? I don't understand |
I was waiting for the Wil Anderson bit.
|
He is terrible.

And he always shows up on GNW wearing jeans and thongs. Ugh
|
I don't know why so many people like them. Dave Hughes is annoying as fuck, and does nothing but whinily rant about stuff nobody cares about. Wil Anderson keeps laughing at his own jokes and generally acting like a tosser in front of everyone.
And for some reason, the public buys it big time. |
Oh, wait. That's not hte guy from Postal. He just looked like him for a moment.
Anyway, he's terrible. |
That voice... He should marry The Nanny.

Dude, this video has over 98 million views and I did not laugh even once. |
Walter is actually much better than Achmed.
Achmed is just offensive. |
RAAAAAANDY
Dane cook is ok and Mencia just puts hype into his jokes to make the passable I find myself laughing at there stuff. Kathy Griffin is terrible though. |
oh and where is wanda sykes?
|
I can honestly say that I never liked Dane Cook. I'm a fan of George Carlin, Lewis Black, and Bill Maher.

This is how a Carlos Mencia joke works.
Say something stereotypical about a group of people Point out the stereotype Make a funny face and start yelling when no one is laughing Last resort yell der da der He is so terrible it's unbelievable that anyone would consider him a "comic". |

I loved Dane Cook from the first time I saw him on Comedy Central presents in like 98/99. But he just got way to much overexposure the past couple years and I am really not a fan anymore. Same exact thing with Frank Caliendo. I saw him live around 2003 and he was hysterical. Then again they overexposed him and I really can't stand him anymore.

I need to clense this topic with the great Louis CK

anyway Carlos Mencia is easily worse than Dane Cook that fucking puppet guy sucks too |
Frank Caliendo is also pretty bad. He is too dependent upon his imitations and can't be funny on his own anymore.
|
he does good impressions but is not funny at all
|
he did have a good thing going initially because you didn't have a lot of comedians doing what he did. But then his schtick stayed the same for 10 years and there's only so many times I can hear John Madden saying something stupid
|
How are Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman not on that list? They're fucking horrible.
|
yeah but http://www.tvgasm.com/shows/mad25.jpg is pretty funny
|
Oh fuck.
He's naked. |
