12 Comics Who Aren't Funny

@Intrepid,

it's funny, i used to listen to howard stern when he was on terrestrial radio, gilbert was a frequent guest, i loved him as a funny guy in general conversation, but not as a straight out comedian

the same goes for a lot of comedians, i now listen to opie and anthony, and they have a lot of comedians sit in as guests and again i find them quite enjoyable in general conversation but when i've looked up their comedy, not so much

Howie Mandel, now he's always been a wee bit pathetic.

Dennis Miller was always annoying. I think he's smart and good at social commentary, but he was always a bit too pretentious and simply not comical. It always seemed to me he wanted to be cool and not goofy.

Ben Stiller gives me the creeps. I like his parents much more.
Wanda Sykes leaves me cold. I don't get the big whoo about her at all.

Ben Stiller is creepy. Not funny, at all. What is the big deal with Wanda Sykes? I agree.

@tsarstepan,

I agree with the Wanda Sykes character. Just cause shes black and a lesbian doesnt confer funniness at all

RICHARD LEWIS--He should be shot, hes the only one who finds him funny..

I'm going to be pilloried for this for sure but I finally saw "Family Guy" -- which I expected to like -- and I didn't crack a smile. It was cliched and predictable and tried too hard. I only watched like 20 minutes so maybe that happened to be the worst 20 minutes in the history of the series, but eh.

Jeff Dunham, IMO is only funny when he does his bit with Walter. The rest of his act is ho-hum.

I am disgusted with Leno. I never really liked him, but I find that over the years, he has been pandering to a lower and lower common denominator. I refuse to watch his new show.

I don't have any real knowledge of the rest of djjd62's list.

@farmerman,

richard lewis is another comedian that was "unmasked" on XM, never liked him as a comic, but he's a pretty interesting guy when interviewed properly

Are you serious? She's been a comedian for over a decade and she just came out. Nor is her comedy particularly "black" that I can tell. Not that I have any idea what that means.

But anyway. I think Wanda is ******* hilarious. Judging here by her HBO specials, not by her talk show--is that airing already? What makes her funny, I think, is her sense of humor.

@Gargamel,

Thats tru, but I never found her funny. Ive seen her go opn and on in a story that had no point and she realized that it wasnt going anywhere so she triwed to bail.
ALso her voice is whiney and grating, sorta like Sam Kinneson (WHO, I actually thought WAS funny)

I like Wanda on the Julia Louis-Dreyfus sitcom. But she's a character following a script on there. Not many can carry a talk show without failing.

IMO The riffs on the black-white friendship are stale and degrading. Wanda is gonna have to re-invent herself or languish in the comedy scrap pile.

@sozobe,

Family Guy is ever so declining on the humor side. Now they're trying to hard to find the really shocking side of humor.

Come on! I love Kathy Griffin and I ain't gay either! Saw her at Madison Square Garden this year. Took my best friend for her birthday.
