For the most part, I agree with their choices. A bit surprised by some of the picks.

There's far too many unfunny comics in this world that need to get called out. Oswalt, Garafalo and Posehn spring to mind.

and for some reason, I just don't find Kathy Griffin funny...at least not drop dead funny.

the guy isn't even remotely close to being close funny in any way shape or form, yet PTP worships the guy. don't be surprised if you get 5 responses of vile in return!

to me he's a successful hack no different from larry the cable guy, mencia and dunham

the only difference i see is that he is on the other side of the mass market, lowest common denominator tracks from those guys. actually, he isn't even as funny as them. he's just awful and very unfunny. i can at least get why people like the bullshit those other dudes are spittin, but i am completely baffled as to how oswalt has any fans.

(in which he was great btw). I was reading it like, really? Professional comedians should be able to make you laugh uncontrollably even if you're by yourself. Patton Oswalt just tells marginally humourous stories with well picked words, but he's not really funny.

He's a good example of how the space between professional comedian and funny guy at the party has shrunk considerably. He's like Dane Cook for the nerds.

You gonna mention Jay without mentioning Maher? C'mon.

Also Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, basically anyone who's tried to hustle their modicum of fame into a stand-up tour.

i haven't, i can't imagine what it would even be like.

He's a helluva comedic actor, even though he stars in absolute shit nowadays, and can even get dramatical at times, but "cryingbecause she makes a helluva ham sandwich" is funny in neither concept nor delivery.

Where's Dat Phan? Gallagher? Gallagher 2?

Does anyone actually find Don Rickles funny?

Seeing as how they chose the worst/stupidest pics of everyone, I'm surprised they didn't go for Carrot Top. I give CT a pass though because he can at least laugh at himself.

Have you ever heard Chris Rock say how he hated opening for Martin back in the early 90s? This was at a point when Chris Rock seemed to have lost his mojo

I saw "You so crazy" back in the day and that ish was funny ALL the way through. Me and my girl laughed our azz off the whole time.

>Does anyone actually find Don Rickles funny?

He's an ass but I've laughed at him clowning people several times.

LOL @ them going in on Byron Allen. That dude is IMO the biggest hack of all time.

How they gonna hate on Greg Giraldo btw? He's one of my favorite comics working today.

And I can understand the Dane Cook hate but I do think he's legitimately funny. He peaked a few years ago though and christ does he have annoying fans.

Sinbad's corny as fuck, but he's still funny.

i like sinbad. there's no pretence, no super edgy angle, no gimmick, he's just that funny ass uncle you can't wait to see at the next family cookout. at any rate, his standup special was solid for the 15 minutes or so i watched before falling asleep. not that i fell asleep to his comedy, i was just ready for bed.

Page Cannot Be Found

No bull

They're seemingly promoting his comeback special under the heading 'Unfunny Business'... Took me a minute to wrap my head around that one but I don't think they're including him in the critique

Dude's not exactly changing the face of comedy, but he does very good impressions. There's a place for that in comedy.

Don't know since I never watched it. But most of his impressions that I've heard are spot on & yes there is indeed a place for that in comedy. Him & Aries Spears are the best I've heard recently.

I still LMAO at that G Unit radio appearance from like 5 years ago where he did his rapper impressions.

"Pop the tops"

Like Cold Truth said, it's limited, but effective at making people laugh.

> There's a place for that in comedy.

But full disclosure: I used to work with a guy who would basically play the same 3 Frank Caliendo Youtube clips all day every day, so under those circumstances you're bound to hate anybody.

He was always either listening to that or Creationism "Scientific" lectures. Now those were hilarious.

he's a pretty good impressionist. it makes his actual comic abilities limited overall, but it's an entertaining one trick when you can do a variety of people reasonably well.

It's exactly what you expect it to be, no more no less. I laughed.

This guy has never been funny to me with his so-called cerebral and high brow brand of comedy.

That was one of the worst ideas in the history of television to ever think he was a good fit for doing commentary for Monday Night Football.
