He was so bad (and so was his audience) that he thought the height of wit was to re-tell children's nursery rhymes with alternative obscene words.
The Diceman is surely the worst comedian in the whole world. |
So, England just made it to 1990?

The Sarah Silverman show is funny on occasion and Lisa Lampanelli is not as atrocious as the others.
Still, 3 way tie. They're all too awful.

I liked Arsenio's character in Harlem Nights.

A flip of the coin between Dane Cook and Larry the Cable Guy. I hope that neither one makes any more movies.

I don't hate anyone. But I strongly dislike Sarah Silverman in comedy. However, she is definitely a looker...

As much comedy as I watch I was surprised that two on that list don't ring a bell. I kind of like all of those that I am familiar with though. What's kind of funny is that I always thought Sarah was kind of cute until I heard herself point out that she has a horsey face.  I'm going to have to go with Andy Kaufman, RIP, but I always found him to be more annoying than funny.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

DANE COOK?!
DANE COOK?!
I'll punch every Dane Cook in the face!
^ get it, cause thats what he does
I don't mind Sarah Silverman though, but that's mostly because I'd like to do unspeakable things to her

I agree, but there is just something that annoys me even more about Dane Cook, maybe it's because I have met people that actually think he's funny. And no that wasn't a bad joke.
|
Oh thats definitely the most annoying thing about him, he has tons of fans and he hasnt said a funny thing in years. My friend played one of his stand-ups from a long time ago before he was famous and it actually wasnt too bad, but nothing he does anymore is funny at all and he is really popular for it

Dane Cook had one funny bit about breaking into a random house with a friend.
Larry the Cable Guy is an insult to the American south. So I have to go with him.

Don't know any of these Americans, saw one minute of the Sarah Silverman Program once before remembering that my tv remote gives me the ability to change channels with the merest twitch of my finger - could say whether she was funny or not, I didn't hang around long enough to find out.
My vote goes to Jim Davidson.

TRACY MORGAN.
How I loathe him. At least Cook yells things and you can laugh AT him. Tracy Morgan sounds like a recording of an inarticulate doofus that's constantly going from 33 /13 to 45 rpm.

Dane Cook. He's an idiot who just barks and insults and says f**k and looks like he's on amphetamines mixed with cocaine. But he doesn't say ONE SINGLE REAL FUNNY THING

I was only able to pick up fragments of what they were saying (I'm in my first semester of German, planning to take more as long as I'm in college), but the sketch was funny nonetheless.
