I don't know any of these either. My favourite comedian is no longer active (he is in his 80s). It is the German Vico von Bülöw, better known under his nom de plume Loriot. He (and his congenial partner, the late Evelyn Hamann), are widely considered to have been the peak of German comedy. There are so many great and unforgettable sketches of them; my personal favourite is the noodle sketch.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foyFTZwCx10&hl=de Even if you don't understand German at all it is funny, but it is much more so when you understand it. There are sentences like "Why don't you say something? If you don't like my nose, say so, but just say something", spoken at the moment when the noodle is on his nose. His sketches are usually about people trying to keep their dignity while getting into totally undignified situations, thus failing miserably. Edited by BaldFriede - October 17 2009 at 20:20 |

Unfortunately, I'm related to people who like his comedy...they always talk about how funny he is, then I mention Steven Wright or someone like that and they have no clue who he is. If I try to play some of his stuff for them, it's even worse...they think I'm a bit loony. ![]() |

Larry The Cable Guy for me. Sarah Silverman is easily the least worst out of the choices but the others gave Larry a run for his money. The deciding factor for my vote was that people actually like his stuff, can relate to it, and remind me that rednecks exist.

Before even clicking on the thread I thought dane cook, but then I saw Lisa Lampanelli. She is the only comedian that is so horribly bad that I cant even enjoy laughing at how bad she is. All of her jokes are just about her sucking dick (literally) and how black guys have bigger dicks. Her only jokes that arent about sex are just really offensive racist jokes.

I voted Dane Cook not only because he annoys me a great deal, but also because his fans annoy me to no end. The obnoxious fanbase was the deciding factor over Mencia. I have laughed at something Mencia said once upon a time, but Dane Cook has never, ever elicited so much as a chuckle from me.

Consider yourself lucky. I voted Larry the Cable Guy, he can annoy me in less than a nanosecond. Edit: The rest of them take about 3 nanoseconds to annoy me. Edited by SaltyJon - October 17 2009 at 11:52 |

I once saw 20 minutes of Mencia, half of it was somewhat funny the rest was political ramblings. Don't know the others.
