There's only a few stand ups i think are funny; chris rock, david chappelle, ricky gervais and russel brand; that's it imo. I MEAN EVER.

MOST are completely shit; anyone agree

BTW i don't think ricky and russell are hilarious; they just have some funny shit(russell is the best interviewer i have ever seen though)

I've NEVER thought Robin Williams was funny

And Katt Williams' whole act is wearing thin.....You were a pimp in a movie back like 2001, now stop having your act revolve around that character. Enough!

and I thought Dane Cook was okay....now?

Lee Evans

Al Murray


Alan Carr


Jimmy Carr


Tim Vine


Just a few favourites of mine. Probably explains why I am so unfunny.....!

I disagree

Rodney Dangerfield

Sam Kinison

Richard Pryor

Martin Lawrence

Russell Peters

Gabriel Iglesias

Frank Caliendo

Maz Jorbrani

Andrew Dice Clay


shall I continue?

agree - the more the act and attempt to "be" funny the less humour - to me

Usually what cracks me up is everyday people doing things naturally - not ones that assume they are funny

I just dont like Carlos Mencia

fcukthepolice said:

Ever?

What about older standups?

Richard Pryor
Eddie Murphy
Steve Martin
Paul Mooney
George Carlin

Dave Attell was brilliant, but his most recent special was not very good.

I agree with you that most are shit. When I listen to the comedy on XM, it is so lazy. The fat guys do fat jokes, the women do lesbian jokes, and the guys rehash routines from funnier guys.

I fucking hate Ralphie Mae. That dude is the worst. Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia were funny, but that was when the origianl comedians did their routines. Those dudes are rich from stealing bits and that really sucks.

I can't stomach his show. He's so fucking irritating

PEJ said:

Yes Rodney Dangerfield!

Everyone else but Richard Pryor has to be dropped for being mortally unfunny.

Kinnison and Martin were funny but not in stand up.

Mars23 said:

The only reason Carlos Mencia even has a show is because Comedy Central needed a rip off of Chappelle's Show

bboy87 said:

Too true.

Damn Dave, I feel bad about the breakdown and all, but you stuck us with no Chappelle's Show AND Mind of Shitcia.

Eddie Izzard!

Mars23 said:

Good call. He's one of those types who makes you think "I have NO idea what he's on about...but he makes it sound funny whatever it is!"

bboy87 said:

Couldn't agree more. I can barely watch his movies because he annoys the piss out of me.

Mars23 said:

Mitch Freaking Hedberg, R.I.P.

Bobby Davro - he was shit

JuliePurplehead said:

Doesn't he still reminds you of Mork from Ork??

Didn't like him then, don't like him now

jami0mckay said:

And now he's an actor!


Mind, he's actually not that bad. Well, I say that, but it's quite hard to tell when he's surrounded by the rest of the Eastenders cast. We aren't exactly talking Royal Shakespear Society here, are we?

thats how shane ritchie became popular too!

Jim Gaffigan is really funny. Hot Pockets anyone?

Not in the eyes!

He just reminds me of a annoying, hairy ass clown.

jami0mckay said:

And what the hell is it with Davro's perma-grin?! Did he go to spray his hair and end up sticking his face in one expression by mistake? Or ...hell, was my mom telling the truth when she said if the wind changes you stick like that?!

rocknrolldave said:

its because he can't believe he's getting paid that much

fcukthepolice said:

anyone on the org can be a better comedian than most of the shit ones I see on TV
The Kings of Comedy is awful IMO

horatio said:

However, "The King of Comedy" was a great movie.

those are pretty mainstream aren't they ?? I'm not really into the UK/US standup scene but generally I rather like the not-so-well-known ones cuz they're not afraid to laugh about anything, they don't have much to lose.
When they go mainstream, they are to afraid of not being invited to the
next hot party or premiere ...
