Comedians who I do not find funny...

One of the few jobs in the world where you can thrive by being bad at what you do.

Of course, that is only one person's opinion but I've tried endlessly to understand the 'jokes' these comedians tell and be able to enjoy their general stand-up routine, and I just can't do it.

1. Dane Cook - saw an HBO special where he sold out Madison Square Garden. I didn't laugh at a single joke. He made me smile. But that's it. I have no idea why people went wild for this guy for several years making him massively wealthy.

2. Andrew Dice Clay - If the guy writes his own stuff, I would certainly label him as creative. But funny? I'm watching an HBO special from the 80's and people are going BONKERS for this guy. But I'd like to note, most people are not laughing but cheering for his misogyny.

3. Joan Rivers - I've seen her around forever. I will say when she was on E! And she ragged on celebrity attire, that was funny. But her stand-up routine and virtually every interview or sound bite was not. Never laughed at a single purposeful joke from her.

4. George Carlin - I'd rate him as the SMARTEST 'comedian' ever. But funny? No. Never made me laugh. He made me THINK and I actually quote him on many occasions, not to make others laugh but to refer to a life philosophy or discuss something taboo where he has offered an astute point.

5. Adam Sandler - used to be funny on SNL. Billy Madison was funny for its time (but ironically, the game show skit was hilarious but the funniest line in the movie many here quote, concerning a stupid answer was not even said by him). Haven't laughed at this guy in ages.

6. Richard Pryor - also watched his stand-up routine on HBO. Tried to laugh. Tried to find why he is considered a comedy legend. Didn't laugh once.

7. Rosie O'Donnell - have never laughed at a single joke she has ever told.

8. Whoopi Goldberg - not funny. Period.

9. Jay Leno - never found him even 1/10th as funny as Letterman. He had some moments but overall he just brought out a smile here and there, but never a hearty laugh.

Anyone have #10?

#10 Any female comedian (Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer).  They just aren't funny stand-up comics.  

#11  Jimmy Fallon.  I would love to punch him in his face.  Never liked the guy, even on SNL.

That, plus Jeff Dunham - close your eyes and try just listening to the "jokes". I think the whole ventriloquist thing takes people away from how horrible he is.

Also, never liked Bill Cosby, and knowing now what we know about him as a person makes his whole "family friendly" lame routine even more despicable.....

Dane Cook sucks, his material stinks and he overcompensates by acting like his stuff is funny.

Bill Hicks. Many talk like he was great. I rented one of his DVD's years ago, gave up after 20 minutes.

I tried watching Cook's special and tapped out after half an hour.  How he is successful is one of the great mysteries of life.

Slobb Lisa Lampanelli is a very funny women.

3,5,7,8 and 9 are impossible to watch.

#10 is Robin Williams.  

Another terrible comic that I can't stand is Kathy Griffin.  How people find this annoying b!tch funny is beyond me!

He has a lot of fans and I just don't get it.

As for Dan Tosh, I think his stand-up is great.  Really funny stuff.

For #10, we have a winner . Although I was highly tempted by Jeff Dunham.

I saw Mork and Mindy reruns on youtube. Watched it without even a smirk...Couldn't get through 2 minutes of it.

Oh and there's another one I never got.

Does anyone remember VH1 used to run specials on the comedian Gallagher???

The guy makes a fortune smashing watermelons with a giant mallet.

The crowd went bananas for this guy!!!

Why? How much talent does it take to smash a watermelon?!!!

Daniel Tosh, Kathy Griffin, any ventriloquist...all good suggestions...

I do have one that is funny.

If anyone has visited Vegas, there was a guy called the Amazing Johnathan who had a show in the Golden Nugget.

I went to his show. Always got a kick out of that guy even though his jokes overall were pretty corny. The crowd adored him.

Wait maybe I should make #10 -

The entire current SNL cast.

Except for Kyle Mooney.  He steals the show whenever he's on.  His shorts on YouTube are incredible.  Some may not find the humor, but I think he's brilliant.

Carlos Mencia

Not only has the guy been documented stealing entire routines, his whole schtick is Mexicans and saying "Beaners", and the guy is not even Mexican! His name is like Ned Alden or something. Imagine if Jerry Seinfeld just started doing Chris Rock's routine with an 'N' word every 5 seconds.

And, here's the capper - Still, the guy's not funny.....
