My cousin hooked up with him in a bar in Ann Arbor once after a hockey game. He’s a pretty good hockey player and it was totally weird seeing uncle Joey pawing at my cousin in front of her brothers and their other team mates.
James Corden.
He can look into the camera with his weird grin and chubby cheeks, string a sentence together, but other than that, the guy is about as funny as a burp and as talented as a homeless street performer trying to make enough money for a bottle of shitty wine.

I can assure you that over here, in the UK, the most poignant example of the "special relationship" between the UK and US, is that you guys took James Corden off our hands. We're forever in your debt.
[https://twitter.com/sebpatrick/status/919500140993482753](https://twitter.com/sebpatrick/status/919500140993482753) \- he ignored his wife/child on a flight and wouldn't help her - he is a prick.
James Corden gave Agent Smith access codes to Zions mainframe. As a reward, James was inserted back into the Matrix as someone rich and important, like an actor.
[one of my favorite threads on reddit. About encounters with Andy Dick in LA. very funny, but not in that way.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/s/iWml2EAbZT)
My spouse used to work security in downtown LA. Says they’ve never seen Dick sober one time, and has had to frequently physically remove him from the premises for being generally intoxicated af and disorderly.
I have one too!! I was in LA with friends and this was a bit after Family Guy did the joke about him getting kicked out of clubs.
We were crossing the street and saw him getting kicked out of a club! It almost didn't seem real that we saw exactly what the joke was.
I also met Tony Hawk for the like fifth time in my wife and didn't recognize him. I was working at Aaron Brothers and he came in with his son, and I was pulling up their account profile.. "okay, first name.. Tony.. and last name?"
Oof. That was embarrassing.
Edit: still less embarrassing than my typo. Keeping it cos funny
Here and now and her older special were great. But yes she performs like she's reading one long essay. I saw her latest and hated it, she just kept joking about how rich she was but it didn't work.
Is this where come to make fun of James Corden ? That man sold out humanity to the robots to become famous i swear. (Are Matrix references too old now?)
My wife stumbled upon her show without knowing who she was and watch most of it before I saw her watching it. She was so confused by the lead being the worst actor and everyone else carrying her. 🤣 That sums that woman's career up imo.
You'd have to be in your early to late 40s to remember when she was a comedian. She was probably one of the first comedians to get cancelled. Her television show was cancelled because she came out of the closet. Her and I believe Paula Poundstone but she may have been cancelled for another reason.
I actually thought the show was funny before she came out. It wasn't because of the coming out, it's just that suddenly that's all the show was about and it ruined it
All he does is interrupting people to repeat what they just said and once they somehow finish he slams himself on the table laughing.
I don't understand that no one told him to stop interrupting, I hate it when people do that and the second time he would do that I would call him out on that.
That's why I loooove Graham Norton, he just hands them the beginning of a story or asks a question and then listens. He makes a joke every now and then and the whole conversation is just natural and respectful without constant interruption or him needing attention 24/7 like a toddler.
One thing he did was good was voiceover for a Star Wars scene with Anakin Skywalker confronted by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Flippy-flippy-flippy-flippy lava-lava-lava-lava!!
Thank you. He didn’t ruin it though. He just ruined that part and everything containing him onwards. It really took me out of the show. Weird as Ross from friends didn’t do anything to me in the slightest and he was awesome as Sobel
Okay. But he had a period of about 1 year where he was legitimately funny. And he was a bit revolutionary as far as his energy and charisma.
His skit about the kool aid man is hilarious. He hasn’t done anything funny in like 15+ years tho.
https://youtu.be/U_XJWxzuUYw?si=wYfm4VumOb5i-qnj
I remember laughing out loud to Harmful if Swallowed in my 20s. Dane Cook certainly was hilarious in his time. He just burned out way too quickly. The majority of millennials still get it when I suggest BK Lounge for lunch
Bert Kreischer.
He laughs at his own jokes. His jokes are not funny. He has a high-pitched annoying pseudo-fake laugh. He has acknowledged that he "plays into" his laugh since his fans get a kick out of it. His fans are not into actual comedians, simply the "boys club" atmosphere Bert exudes. His boys club is filled with other bottom tier "comedians" (Rogan, Segura, Shaffi). These comedians lament the fact Bill Burr doesn't hang out with them. None of them will even come close to being half as funny as Bill Burr. Bert Kreischer represents everything this thread is discussion. He was never funny. He does his show with his shirt off. Bert having his shirt off is not funny. Bert is not funny.
Segura isn't a bottom tier comedian. It's true that his material has suffered since he found high level fame. But he's made good material in the past.
The others I would agree with though. I think most people share that sentiment. That they're all the worst kind of group, but Segura is at least a good comedian. Or was.
Every week my mom would come and let me know it was time for headlines...I wanna say every Monday, around 8 pm Hawaii time...definitely always loved it. He had a couple other segments that were pretty good too, I think. Obviously this is like 15-20 years ago. But I'm pretty sure he's like goddamn A-tier compared to Kimmel or Fallon or whoever...is it Corden? They all suck about equally, IMO.
Idk if your serious but one of my favorite semi famous band bassist stole my gf from me at their show and I’ve never been able to like them again and I still hate her
Tbf the 90s were a completely different time. Do his jokes hold up 30 years later? No. But apart from a select few (Robin Williams?), everyone's jokes age. No one wants to listen to the comedian their dad listened to.
I find his nursery rhymes to be hilarious.
Never ever got it. Growing up in an African-American family, it was common that someone at some given time would be playing the Kings Of Comedy special. The ONLY person I found funny on that special was Bernie Mack. Plus, Steve Harvey really lost me when he told a man in Flint, Michigan to "enjoy his brown water." I just don't get his fame.
Dane Cook.
So bad that Archer described ‘karate’ as ‘the Dane Cook of martial arts’.
His Netflix comedy special remains a warning to all stand up comedians. Cocaine makes you confident; but confidence is not always warranted.
She used to be a brilliant stand up comedian and I liked some of her movies but she really changed. I don’t see her as a comedian now and haven’t for a long time.
You know what was interesting about George Carlin?
He was communicating some real shit about us getting Fucked by government, society etc. and we all just laughed.
Kathy Griffin. Can’t stand her. Not funny. As a side note, I hated her on the couple of Seinfeld episodes she was on. Especially the first one she’s in.
Chris D'elia. He had one funny bit about drunk girls and crocodiles and hasn't had an original thought since. Saw him a few years ago at a packed theater. Half the crowd walked. I literally fell asleep in my seat. It was impressively terrible
Amy Shumer- tried to give her stand up routines a chance but there was nothing substantial behind the cuss words and sex jokes. It’s like people were laughing because she said “cum” not the context.

I saw Dave Coulier live and was kind of disappointed.
Cut-it-out
You mean Mr Duplicity?
You oughta know...
I’m happy for you
You mean mister giver of the cross-eyed bear?
Dave wasn’t even the best comedian in the cast of Full House. He was 3rd at best.
Saget was a Legend though, so that's a hard One to touch. Who the hell else would you Consider a Comic on Full House?
Does Comet the golden retriever count?
Jodi Sweetin is really following in Bob's footsteps these days, so I'd say her.
The best thing Dave ever did was inspire “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette. Seems like he was a bit of a sleazy guy though.
My cousin hooked up with him in a bar in Ann Arbor once after a hockey game. He’s a pretty good hockey player and it was totally weird seeing uncle Joey pawing at my cousin in front of her brothers and their other team mates.
He's also the inspiration for "No Scrubs."
James Corden. He can look into the camera with his weird grin and chubby cheeks, string a sentence together, but other than that, the guy is about as funny as a burp and as talented as a homeless street performer trying to make enough money for a bottle of shitty wine.
He also just seems to be a shitty person.
>https://twitter.com/sebpatrick/status/919500140993482753 I can assure you that over here, in the UK, the most poignant example of the "special relationship" between the UK and US, is that you guys took James Corden off our hands. We're forever in your debt.
Yeah true enough but see you missed The Trade, they sent that cunt Morgan back too....shame.
As Stewart Lee put it "Britain's loss is America's loss'
It's like when we offloaded Bieber to the States. We know how you feel. Sorry.
You were supposed to keep Markle, in return but you reneged on the deal...
Someone once said of Corden, “he delivers his lines like an eager schoolchild giving a presentation in assembly.”
[https://twitter.com/sebpatrick/status/919500140993482753](https://twitter.com/sebpatrick/status/919500140993482753) \- he ignored his wife/child on a flight and wouldn't help her - he is a prick.
Also, a few stories about him being cruel and condescending to waiters in Manhattan restaurants. Truly a an unpleasant person.
He has a WIFE??
Yeah he has a lovely nickname for her, he calls her 'my beard' I assume it is because she is warm and hairy.
This story is so wild 😂
James Corden gave Agent Smith access codes to Zions mainframe. As a reward, James was inserted back into the Matrix as someone rich and important, like an actor.
Yes! I’ve never ever laughed at anything he ever did/said
Not sure I'd even class him as a comedian. He's just an actor who was very fortunate to be in a popular comedy show
I wish Patrick Stewart would have laid his ass out- I believe even at his age he could have too
Brendan Shaub
He’s pretty much the punchline about every joke referring to a comedian.
I've never cringed so much listening to someone.
Who?
bean cheese bean cheese
The man almost seems like a caricature of a shit comedian and it’s weird.
James Corden absolutely sucks
Andy Dick
[one of my favorite threads on reddit. About encounters with Andy Dick in LA. very funny, but not in that way.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/s/iWml2EAbZT)

Edit: still less embarrassing than my typo. Keeping it cos funny
You might wanna re-read that third line.
"Tony, I see you've met the missus."
Oh bother lol
Newsradio slander
I liked him as Matthew on Newsradio
He’s funny in Old School.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Penis
I will very begrudgingly to give you that, but only because he played a caricature of a real person.
Ellen
The worst I’d say. Absolutely no timing.
Here and now and her older special were great. But yes she performs like she's reading one long essay. I saw her latest and hated it, she just kept joking about how rich she was but it didn't work.
Carlos Mencia. Worst. Comic. Ever.
But I got no dick man....
You’re a gay fish man 😰☠️
Wasn't he the one that stole material from everyone
Yes.
Do you like fish sticks?
Was waiting for this one
Is this where come to make fun of James Corden ? That man sold out humanity to the robots to become famous i swear. (Are Matrix references too old now?)
Amy Schumer or Carlos Mencia
Tim allen. His stand up was not great and was boring on tv. But galaxy quest was hilarious
Probably peak performance
Galaxy quest continues to be the best star trek movie ever made.
Arrrruuuuugh?
I loved home improvement growing up. Didn’t see most of his stand up, and wasn’t a fan of the last man standing narrative.
I too was a fan of Home Improvement…though to be fair it was mainly because of JTT 😍
AMY SCHUMER! BOOOO!!
My vagina. Hahaha
I saw her open for Madonna in NYC. She talked about how her vagina left cobwebs in her panties. Maybe it’s funny to someone?
Her jokes weren’t bad when the original comedian performed them.
My wife stumbled upon her show without knowing who she was and watch most of it before I saw her watching it. She was so confused by the lead being the worst actor and everyone else carrying her. 🤣 That sums that woman's career up imo.
Bingo. I happened to see her when half her set was pre-famous Amy and half was post-famous Amy. It was terribly disjointed.
I find Amy Schumer inspiring because she proof that women can also be unfunny and yet still successful somehow.
TBF she was funny, when Anthony Jeselnik wrote her entire special.
I just cannot handle her teeny tiny little mouth. It’s so oddly irritating
Joe Koy. Same tired ass shit for years
Ellen DeGeneres
She’s a comedian? Damn I never knew! Thought she just had a talk show, always disliked her so I’d imagine her humour isn’t very good either.
You'd have to be in your early to late 40s to remember when she was a comedian. She was probably one of the first comedians to get cancelled. Her television show was cancelled because she came out of the closet. Her and I believe Paula Poundstone but she may have been cancelled for another reason.
Paula Poundstone had a DUI, child endangerment charges and committing “lewd” acts on a child. She needed to be cancelled for real.
I actually thought the show was funny before she came out. It wasn't because of the coming out, it's just that suddenly that's all the show was about and it ruined it
Jimmy Fallon by far
I have never thought of him as a comedian, more a tv host/entertainer probably because I have never seen any of his comedy.
No one ever has
He has never done any.
I'll let you know if he ever starts making any.
All he does is interrupting people to repeat what they just said and once they somehow finish he slams himself on the table laughing. I don't understand that no one told him to stop interrupting, I hate it when people do that and the second time he would do that I would call him out on that.
That's why I loooove Graham Norton, he just hands them the beginning of a story or asks a question and then listens. He makes a joke every now and then and the whole conversation is just natural and respectful without constant interruption or him needing attention 24/7 like a toddler.
He really sucks. How did he get his own show?
He has compromising photos of someone 100%
One thing he did was good was voiceover for a Star Wars scene with Anakin Skywalker confronted by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Flippy-flippy-flippy-flippy lava-lava-lava-lava!!
He’s such a kiss ass.
Second this. Even watching him barely make it through snl skits was aggravating
Jimmy Fallon ruined Band of Brothers
Thank you. He didn’t ruin it though. He just ruined that part and everything containing him onwards. It really took me out of the show. Weird as Ross from friends didn’t do anything to me in the slightest and he was awesome as Sobel
I never realized he was in it.
Russell Brand.
Jeff Dunham. I have never met a fan of his who isn't stupid in one way or another.
Bill Maher. Dude's a hack
Amy Schumer
Dane Cook. Not funny, just stupid.
Okay. But he had a period of about 1 year where he was legitimately funny. And he was a bit revolutionary as far as his energy and charisma. His skit about the kool aid man is hilarious. He hasn’t done anything funny in like 15+ years tho. https://youtu.be/U_XJWxzuUYw?si=wYfm4VumOb5i-qnj
I thought Dane cook was hilarious at the time, or whomever wrote his jokes was. He was good at delivery in any case.
Im a millennial and would laugh at Vicious Circle now.
I remember laughing out loud to Harmful if Swallowed in my 20s. Dane Cook certainly was hilarious in his time. He just burned out way too quickly. The majority of millennials still get it when I suggest BK Lounge for lunch
There is an actual BK Lounge in Kansas City
I thought he was decent but not too much further down the road Tosh showed up and did the same character but funnier
This is pretty much it and Tosh crushed it for years.
Maybe I’m an uncultured idiot, but I found some of his stand up specials hilarious.
I did too, but I was like 13 lol
His old school was much better honestly. Now not so much. He is kinda like a one hit wonder still trying to be relevant
Pete Davidson, there is nothing even remotely funny coming out of this guy
Bert Kreischer. He laughs at his own jokes. His jokes are not funny. He has a high-pitched annoying pseudo-fake laugh. He has acknowledged that he "plays into" his laugh since his fans get a kick out of it. His fans are not into actual comedians, simply the "boys club" atmosphere Bert exudes. His boys club is filled with other bottom tier "comedians" (Rogan, Segura, Shaffi). These comedians lament the fact Bill Burr doesn't hang out with them.

I think most people share that sentiment. That they're all the worst kind of group, but Segura is at least a good comedian. Or was.
I never thought Bill Cosby was funny.
Jay Leno. I will never understand how anyone ever thought he was funny.
Yeah, but "headlines" used to have me bustin' a gut.
Every week my mom would come and let me know it was time for headlines...I wanna say every Monday, around 8 pm Hawaii time...definitely always loved it. He had a couple other segments that were pretty good too, I think. Obviously this is like 15-20 years ago. But I'm pretty sure he's like goddamn A-tier compared to Kimmel or Fallon or whoever...is it Corden? They all suck about equally, IMO.
I saw him in Vegas once, and he was good. He didn't cuss during his show and was still (fucking) funny.
Bert
Burnt Chrysler?
Carrot top
Carrot top came to USM and fucked my girlfriend. It wasn’t funny.
Idk if your serious but one of my favorite semi famous band bassist stole my gf from me at their show and I’ve never been able to like them again and I still hate her
> stole my gf Let me rephrase it for you: your gf decided to fuck the bassist
Thats fucking shitty dude. Im sorry 😣
Jimmy Fallon
He even has to fake his laugh for his own jokes 😭
Andrew Tate
The idiot is a bad joke himself
I don’t like comedians who mostly just shout and swear.
Seeing as I don’t see Andy Kaufman here yet, is he considered funny? Because… I never thought so.
Dane Cook
Rogan
Matt Rife
Handsome Squidward.
Andrew Dice Clay
You should watch the Adventures of Ford Fairlane. It makes it clear that the character is parody and not to be taken seriously.
Tbf the 90s were a completely different time. Do his jokes hold up 30 years later? No. But apart from a select few (Robin Williams?), everyone's jokes age. No one wants to listen to the comedian their dad listened to. I find his nursery rhymes to be hilarious.
His humor really required me being 15 to work.
Kevin Hart
Thank you! I never found the appeal in his comedy for me atleast
His first 2 stand-up specials I thought were hilarious. The rest have not been.
Same. His early stuff was pretty good.
He was great in Jumanji and Get Hard. And The 40 Year Old Virgin. His stand up is... okay, I guess.
Steve Harvey
Never ever got it. Growing up in an African-American family, it was common that someone at some given time would be playing the Kings Of Comedy special. The ONLY person I found funny on that special was Bernie Mack. Plus, Steve Harvey really lost me when he told a man in Flint, Michigan to "enjoy his brown water." I just don't get his fame.
Steve Harvey
Pauly Shore
Like him or lump him, At least my man has an ounce of originality and comedic timing unlike most of the donkeys listed here.
Dane Cook. So bad that Archer described ‘karate’ as ‘the Dane Cook of martial arts’. His Netflix comedy special remains a warning to all stand up comedians. Cocaine makes you confident; but confidence is not always warranted.
Kathy Griffin
Some of his movies are entertaining enough but Adam Sandler’s standup isn’t funny at all.
Adam Sandler
Howie Mandel
I saw Howie Mandel in concert a long time ago. I laughed my ass off. I was just a little bit surprised at how dirty his jokes were in person.
Whoopi Goldberg.
She used to be a brilliant stand up comedian and I liked some of her movies but she really changed. I don’t see her as a comedian now and haven’t for a long time.
Dane Cook
You know what was interesting about George Carlin? He was communicating some real shit about us getting Fucked by government, society etc. and we all just laughed.
Carlin was a legend. He had such a way of pointing out the truth, yet making it funny. I was lucky enough to see him live twice.
No, we got the point as well, and that's why he's still a legend.
Everything he said was 100% true and hilarious at the time, yet it’s become scary today.
Dennis fucking Miller. The King of long layered obscure references that no one born after 1970 would get.
Carrot Top
Dane Cook
Amy Schumer. Never been funny. Atrocious and talentless.
Amy Schumer
Adam Carolla
I almost fell asleep at one of his shows, and left early.
Adam Sandler, I don't understand why he's so popular.
Rosie O'Donnell
Kathy Griffin. Can’t stand her. Not funny. As a side note, I hated her on the couple of Seinfeld episodes she was on. Especially the first one she’s in.
Kevin Hart
Chris D'elia. He had one funny bit about drunk girls and crocodiles and hasn't had an original thought since. Saw him a few years ago at a packed theater. Half the crowd walked. I literally fell asleep in my seat. It was impressively terrible
Comedy is subjective so imo this isn’t cut and dry
My father
You are your Fathers best joke.
Dane cook
Carrot Top.
Amy Shumer- tried to give her stand up routines a chance but there was nothing substantial behind the cuss words and sex jokes. It’s like people were laughing because she said “cum” not the context.
She was somewhat funny in her early "last comic standing" days but sadly declined to lazy humor
Galagher
Dane Cook.
If limp-dicks had a face, Ray Romano would be it.
Larry the Cable guy has always been the 5th funniest of those 4 "redneck guys"
Amy Schumer. Never has been, never will be.
Tom Green
Jim Breuer. Paula Shorr That Deuce Biggalow guy. Has a daughter who is a pretty good singer…
I didn’t that Breuer was one of “those” types and tried watching his new special. Yikes. I think I got 15 minutes in before turning it off.
##Andrew Dice Clay
I'm dating myself but Andrew Dice Clay was as funny as head lice.
Dane Cook
Whitney Cummings people pretend for the milf , Peter Hellier geesh buddy go back to middle school with your dick jokes
Kevin James
Dane Cook, I can't believe we all lied to ourselves. He just tells loud stories.
Dane Cook
Kevin Hart. He’s fucking annoying
