Here is my list of worst comedians ever. What do you think?

Sarah Silverman. Worst part is she *thinks* she's hilarious

Amy Schumer. Thinks being a female who is vulgar qualifies as comedy.

Dice: see "Schumer, Amy"

Carlos Mencia

Michael Richards

Sarah Silverman does think she is funny. I had to watch 'a million ways to die in the west' this could have been way better if it weren't for Silverman and Seth MacFarlane. Neither are funny.

I don't know why Amy Schumer is famous, seriously I watched her once for about three minutes. She went on about sex and I thought who would want to sleep with her? She has looked a bit silly lately.

Wanda Sykes

Rob Riggle

Steven Colbert

Ann Coulter

never got j.winters and r. williams- just two guys off their meds as far as i could tell.

Bird Cage is hilarious.

There's Amy Schumer and then all the rest.

Simply breathtaking in how unfunny she is.

You could probably take a slightly amusing member of the wait staff working her events and have a more enjoyable laugh.

Even Budweiser pulled the plug on her shortly after having her pitch their product. Better story is how that one got past the focus groups.

She must have a great agent.

Yakov Smirnoff,

Easy "comedic" formula:

In America, A does B; in my country, B does A.

I dislike Louis CK as a person (read up on his serial sexual predation; also he's a bully for anyone who doesn't share his world views), but he's still pretty funny. I wish I could add him to this list.

Otherwise, Amy Schumer absolutely. But the worst: Tina Fey and Marc Maron.

Young folks may have been unlucky to miss the rock bands on the old "Ed Sullivan Show" but they were extremely lucky to have missed the lame Borscht Belt comedians Ed trotted out. George Jessel, a sort of successor to Al Jolson, was the worst. There was also a guy named London Lee, whose humor was all based on how rich his father was. Yeah, that.s hilarious, Mr. Lee. He's still alive and plays old folks' homes in Florida.

Louis CK

Do you have a sense of humor?

I have never even seen Amy shumer but so many here think she is terrible. I find Kathie Griffin and Dane Cook terribly unfunny. They think telling boring stories about what happened in their lives funny but it isn't. Pauly Shore has never said anything funny ever. Just amazing they allowed him to make movies.

Who is the guy that busted up the watermelons ???

Gallagher. His routine hasn't changed in 30 years. It grew old like 25 years ago.

I think the typical black comedians are the worst, those that are on the "chitlin circuit" (their term not mine.)

Basically every joke is about how white folks are lame, (you deliver the punchline in a nasally voice with your butt cheeks clinched.) or you can make fun of black folks by going the "you know how we do" route.

It's very lazy simple minded stuff. pure hackery.

Never found Robin Williams to be very funny. Never got his shtick. Coked out fool? Is that supposed to be funny?

Wanda sykes is one. And that guy who always says the "F" word - Katt Williams - when you have to rely on something like repeatedly saying the "F" word - your stuff aint funny.

It's simple minded because, well... look at their audience.

Every female comedian, ever.

Sam Kinison isn't necessarily one of my favorites, but he was a top-flight comedian. No changes to the rest of your list.

Paula Poundstone and Pauly Shore

Pauly Shore movies. You would think they would have some redeeming quality. They are all so terrible. Horrible.

Come one, it has been 20+ years, but Encino Man made me laugh. Of course, we were both drunk and stoned in the theater, but that movie had some funny parts.
