[Parche]

Poll question: Worst Standup Comedian

[gmoney]

1. Louis CK

By a country mile... worser than Larry the Cable Guy even.

[KamaAina]

2. Dane Cook

thread over.

[KansDem]

7. What about Andrew Dice Clay?

Saw a routine or two of his...:boring:

Andrew Dice Clay's Nursery Rhymes

[Roon]

10. clay is a homophobic asshole

eom

[Roon]

3. Homer Simpson

Are you ready to laugh? I said, ARE YOU READY TO LAUGH?!?!

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Did Pauly Shore ever do stand-up?

[arbusto_baboso]

30. Yes, though it's being very charitable to call it that. I know this because...

Back when I worked in a library technical office in the mid-90s, one of the employees I supervised would listen to Pauly Shore tapes constantly. Sometimes she assaulted the rest of us by playing them on a boom box on her desk. <shudder>

[graywarrior]

5. Dane Cook

[KamaAina]

6. Who's Jerry Steinfeld?

And why does he have a vote??

[Curtland1015]

9. Didn't he open for Rondey Dangerson?

:shrug:

[trof]

38. And Rondey used to open for Cabot and Othello.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

8. Dane Cook.

[Perky]

11. agreed

[Quantess]

12. Margaret Cho isn't really a comedian,

she's more of a storyteller.

[Joe the Liberal]

13. Dane Cook hands down.....

Never really understood what all that was about, he never got a laugh out of me for some reason.

[TommyO]

14. Do you really have to ask? Warning: GRAPHIC IMAGE INSIDE, not for the faint of heart

[Pool Hall Ace]

17. Why didn't I heed your warning?

:puke:

[blue_onyx]

25. I saw him up close once

and he's a lot more scary than the pic shows.

[Jeep789]

53. He's a comedian? I thought he was just a nut....

:rofl:

[bamacrat]

15. Dane Cook sucks.....as does that guy with the puppet

[MilesColtrane]

40. "that guy with the puppet"

Penn Jillette?

[bamacrat]

67. No but thats good.

Hes on Comedy Central alot. He does his standup which is ok then he brings an old man puppet out and talks to him. I dont really enjoy ventriliquism.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

70. Jeff Dunham

I actually saw him live. Meh. Not the best, but not the worst.

[Brigid]

16. Larry the Cable Guy.

He ruins perfectly hilarious "redneck comedy" movies. I can't believe nobody mentioned him yet. x(

[Patiod]

61. Me too, and I LOVE the other Blue Collar comics

Although Ron White is so variable - the bluer he is, the less funny he is.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Pablo Francisco

That man wouldn't know a punchline to save his life. Horrible, truly horrible.

[charlie and algernon]

22. his movie trailer voice is great

"Arnold Schwarzenegger is... *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!* ...Little Tortilla boy."

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. It's a great impression, no doubt.

The problem is, he does nothing with it. He just assumes the impression itself is funny, but there's no real joke with it. It's all set up, no punchline. Contrast that with other impressionists, for example Frank Calliendo, who at least attempt to go somewhere with the person they are attempting to impersonate.

[charlie and algernon]

58. The little Tortilla Boy IS the punchline

The set-up is when he says that you can make anything interesting using the trailer voice. Then he launches into a near perfect impression of both the trailer voice and Schwartzenegger being a torilla boy.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

71. Umm, yeah.

That would be good if it were, you know, funny.

[baldguy]

19. Tony Clifton

[peekaloo]

56. you wouldn't know comedy if it bit ya in the ass!

:-)

[triguy46]

20. Dennis Miller.

[MajorChode]

41. +1

"Sucks" doesn't even begin to describe Dennis Miller.

I thought he was a piece of shit even when he was a liberal.

[Demoiselle]

60. Agreed. Awful. eom

[doc03]

47. He is a comedian? n/t

[krispos42]

50. It's what he puts on his 1040 form.

Of course, I write "DU Administrator" in mine, so I think he might be exaggerating a wee bit.

[bigwillq]

21. Dane Cook

is awful. :puke:

[NYMountaineer]

23. Easy.

Carlos Mencia. How this idiot kept getting work, I don't know. Even at their worst, the others mentioned in this thread have occasionally gotten a chuckle out of me, but Mencia never has.

[madamesilverspurs]

24. David Gregory.

[Swede]

27. Stephen Harper.

Oh,I thought you said Canadian.

[Enrique]

28. Jake LaMotta

probably.

[JitterbugPerfume]

29. I don't like stand up comedy period

it seems forced and unless done by the best.

[elocs]

31. Agreed. I've never really liked stand-up comics. It seems contrived.

Except George Carlin. Him I like.

[JitterbugPerfume]

32. George Carlin

was the best of the best .

I miss him.


contrived is the word I was searching for

[Tommy_Carcetti]

34. As I mentioned in another post....

....I have a great respect of George Carlin for being one of the "founding fathers" of the modern era of stand up comics, along with people like Richard Pryor.

However, I never really liked him personally. I didn't really care for his style or his comedic takes on certain subjects. So while I respected the man for who he was, I was never personally much of a fan.

I will say, however, his monologue on baseball versus football will forever be a classic.

[Patiod]

62. As is his monolog about "your stuff"

and how, when you travel, you bring smaller and smaller versions of "your stuff" with you.

[SteppingRazor]

33. Carlos Mencia n/t

[Initech]

65. Watch the "Fishsticks" episode of South Park.

Man no one is safe from those guys, not even Comedy Central's other shows!

[SteppingRazor]

68. Seen it, loved it.

:)

[Initech]

69. I saw the Breast Cancer Show episode last night.

Holy crap that might be one of the funniest ones they've ever done.

Oh and for those that dont know the episode doesn't really have a whole lot to do with breast cancer, it's more of a parody of the movie "There Will Be Blood".

[arbusto_baboso]

35. Don't remember the guy's name, but he toured with Lewis Black and Dave Attell.

Lewis and Dave were great, as usual. But their opener was the most angry, misogynistic little asshole I've ever seen on a stage. He made Andrew Dice Clay look like a women's rights advocate by comparison. I don't think anyone in the audience laughed during his entire set.

[sakabatou]

36. Dane Cook, Andrew Dice Clay

And some gangly guy with glass and curly blond hair. I forget his name.

[Dinger]

37. Seinfeld Is So Boring,

Just can't take it. I could kick his ass in a comedy laugh-off.

[pokerfan]

39. Carlos Mencia

followed by Dane Cook and Larry the Cable Guy.

[joey5150]

42. cho

cho is so damn dull. her audience brays.

[Strong Atheist]

43. Shrub. nt.

[OmahaBlueDog]

44. I've used to work with Carrot Top, and he's a really nice guy, but...

...he's easily the worst standup comic I've ever seen. Of course, I never thought he'd make it in show business, so what the Hell do I know?

[doc03]

45. Jay Leno, he constantly repeats the punch lines. n/t

[Sugarcoated]

46. How about comedy legend

Gallagher?

[Sebastian Doyle]

48. Looks like we have some rabid anti dentites in here tonight.

And apparently they can't even spell.....

[Initech]

72. You have no idea what my people have been through!!!

"The Jews?"

"No, the dentists!!"

:rofl:

[TK421]

49. Carlos Mencia....Dane Cook also, both of them are talentless jagoffs n/t

[Iggo]

51. Yakov Smirnoff.

[wickerwoman]

52. Joe Piscopo

but I think they stopped showing his routines on Comedy Central as soon as they got enough material to fill a whole week.

[TheKentuckian]

54. Gotta go with OTHER: Carrot Top

[annonymous]

55. Gallagher, Carrottop, Foster Brooks and Pauly Shore

Most unfunny comics ever.

[bif]

57. Bob Hope. Hands down.

[gbate]

59. Dane Cook.

[Dr. Strange]

63. Can't believe no one's gone here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwXwtAZCan0

[Initech]

64. Bill Engvall, Larry The Cable Guy and Carlos Mencia

[Paladin]

66. Dane Cook (n/t)

[SeekerBlue]

73. I used to love Margaret Cho

but I saw her about a year ago and she's gotten into Joan Rivers territory with the gratuitous and disgusting sexual imagery.

I never got Seinfeld. Shrug.
