The Top 10 Most Unfunny Comedians of All Time
 
The Top 10 Most Unfunny Comedians of All Time

We’re not sure how they’ve 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. We’re not saying we could do their jobs better, we’re just saying it wouldn’t have been hard to find someone who could. So without further adieu – The Top 10 Most Unfunny Comedians of All Time.
Disclaimer: It’s no surprise that Dane Cook made this list – being that he’s 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 that’s all in the past – from the days when COED was run by delusional idiots who wished they were Dane’s buffer boys. We’re not them.

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.

PapaGeorgio 10-31-2009 07:18 PM

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?

Droford 10-31-2009 07:47 PM

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.

Jura 10-31-2009 10:50 PM

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.

El Fangel 10-31-2009 10:57 PM

If Dane Cook is not #1, the list is wrong.

Emperor Smeat 10-31-2009 11:43 PM

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.

El Fangel 11-01-2009 12:25 AM

Thing is, if Dane Cook was funny, he would be hilarious.

Juan 11-01-2009 12:41 AM

Jimmy Fallon :heart:

Skippord 11-01-2009 04:29 AM

that was ridiculous

Mr. Nerfect 11-01-2009 06:42 AM

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.

mitchables 11-01-2009 08:45 AM

All Americans, too. Never look beyond your own borders for anything. There are some atrocious comedians in the UK and over here, you know.

They didn't even scratch the surface of American comics, mind. Once they actually consider someone who doesn't have like 30 live DVDs, we'll get around to you lot.

Evil Vito 11-01-2009 10:43 AM

<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>

Like 95% of TPWW.

XCaliber 11-01-2009 10:59 AM

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.

Kane Knight 11-01-2009 11:06 AM

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.

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-01-2009 03:46 PM

Dane Cook is kinda funny.

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-01-2009 03:50 PM

Carlos Mencia just sucks, I dont care about him stealing anything.

weather vane 11-01-2009 09:10 PM

I like Dane Cook.

Jura 11-01-2009 09:46 PM

I could see Spilchuk and Dane Cook hanging out together.

Triple Naitch 11-01-2009 10:03 PM

Jeff Dunham is the most overrated comedian out there right now.

G 11-01-2009 10:14 PM

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 once smacked a guy for repeatedly going "Silence, I kill you".

I don't even remember if this shit was funny at some point, cause it got so old, so fast.

Jura 11-01-2009 10:31 PM

I'm gonna stop posting until Sixx catches up and then we'll be posting buddies.

Sixx 11-01-2009 10:50 PM

Don't you worry, I'll catch up anyway.

Remember, I'm not only unemployed but also sporting some sleeping disorders! Woo!

mitchables 11-01-2009 11:07 PM

I see your Dane Cooks and Carlos Mencias and raise you Dave Hughes.

Ugh.

Fryza 11-01-2009 11:22 PM

The numbers one and two were spot on.

Nervous Ferret 11-02-2009 02:47 AM

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

toxic rooster 11-02-2009 05:12 AM

I was waiting for the Wil Anderson bit.

mitchables 11-02-2009 06:03 AM

He is terrible.

This ginger fuck played the lead part in Uwe Bohl's "Postal". Wow.

toxic rooster 11-02-2009 06:13 AM

And he always shows up on GNW wearing jeans and thongs. Ugh

mitchables 11-02-2009 06:26 AM

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.

Sixx 11-02-2009 09:46 AM

Oh, wait. That's not hte guy from Postal. He just looked like him for a moment.

Anyway, he's terrible.

Sixx 11-02-2009 09:49 AM

That voice... He should marry The Nanny.

Dude, this video has over 98 million views and I did not laugh even once.

Vastardikai 11-02-2009 01:42 PM

Walter is actually much better than Achmed.

Achmed is just offensive.

Savio 11-02-2009 03:31 PM

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.
