OT: Poll - comedians who are not funny

[hal]

Sam Kennison (sp)

most unfunny guy of all time...

[guitarist]

Steve Colbert.

He's funny on paper. He's funny in theory. He has all the ingredients of a humorist, satirist, commedian, and funny TV personality, the material is smart, sharp, bright, well-written. I'm supposed to respect him for how daring he his, and many people I know agree without quuestion that he's funny...except, I've only noticed recently, I've never once laughed out loud at his material. Laughter is an involuntary response. It's a mystery why some are able to provoke laughter and others aren't.

Andy Kaufman was not funny. He was best known for not being funny on Saturday Night Live.

I agree with Sagat and Martin Lawrence. Conan Obrien is not very funny and can't interview. I don't care for Whoopi, espec in movies. Tony Danza gets on my nerves.

Howard Stern is obnoxious as is Andrew Dice Clay . Tom Green is just weird.

Tracy Morgan (SNL)--never funny enough to elicit even the slightest smile. How did he get that gig?

Howard Stern is incredibly funny, but mostly when he's just being 'himself,' and not doing prepared schtick.

His show can be incredibly juvenile, and visceral, and raw, and everything in life is a fair target for its humor, although, IMO, it never goes for out-and-out meanness.

Whenever others WRITE about what happens on Stern's show or tries to summarize or otherwise paraphrase the proceedings, they never do it justice. Howard has the unenviable task of being entertaining for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, and generally pulls it off. He's underappreciated now*, but history will smile on him as one of the great humorists of our time.


*As 'underappreciated' as one can be who makes $100M a year.

Both Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh have comedy shows but I don't find them funny at all. They should take some lessons from Jon Stewart.
