This one. Wasn't funny even once the whole movie!
Dane Cook
Whitney Cummings
Jeffrey Ross
Lisa Lamponelli
John Lovitz
The perenially listed top comedians like Carlin, Pryor, Cosby, etc. I don't think are THE funniest, but I understand why they're on there and I don't have qualms about it. They are funny. Are they my favorites? No, but I get it.
Certain comedians should not be as successful based on comedic talent like Dane Cook, or those 2 guys from the hangover. There are comedians like Artie Lange who get exposure, but not nearly as much as guys like Cook even though they're still funnier. Cook gets more opportunities than guys like Carolla or Lange even though he's not as talented.
I think this is a cleverly disguised 'I don't think Dane Cook is funny' thread.
Louis CK
Bill Hicks
Brian Regan
Patrice O Neal...
Oh, it's comedian who are NOT funny!
You know how I know you're ignorant? Because when discussing the best standup artists, no one ever mentions Zach Galafanakis or Ken Jeong. You might think that because a lot of people thought they were great in The Hangover. And EVERYONE shits on Cook nowadays. You said you watched very little of Joe's standup, now you list him in your top 5 unfunniest comedians? How the fuck do you figure that when you've seen less than two bits? You know jack shit, fuck your thread.
I didn't say they were considered the best. I listed them as people who get overexposed in comparison to their talent. I also didn't say Rogan was in my top 5 unfunniest comedians, he is just an example that I provided because he is well known in this forum.
I can tell from your posts in this thread and the other one that you're a complete joke. Have a good one!![]()
Surprised to see Richard Lewis get a positive mention. I bought a little box set of his in 2007 and was impressed with his body of work. He doesn't get enough credit nowadays.
Saw him live last year.
Me and my GF were pulling into the parking garage and we saw him raging out at some retard who had him blocked in and wouldn't move his car.
I wanted to tape it but I was afraid he would see me and single me out during the show and destroy me.
He was great. His jokes are like a long drawn out ADD story. He starts with one story, goes on a hundred tangent in 60 minutes and than finishes up with the original joke.

He does the whole neurotic thing so much better than woody allen ever did. I bet seeing him live was just awesome. Live is just so much funnier than tv or YT.
