List Popular Comedians Who Are Painfully Not Funny

To each his own. I watched the Eric Andre show last night and it literally was 10 minutes of him running around the stage smashing stuff. Unless the viewers were already tweaked out on something, I just didn't see how that could be amusing to anyone.

Even after death he don't get no respect

I honestly don't know how well known he is to the mainstream, but I think Marc Maron is great. Provocative stand-up routine, his self-titled TV show was really good, and (although not necessary humorous) his WTF podcast is one of the best around.

Louis CK

Louis used to be kinda funny but he's getting too used to being famous and is getting quite preachy as of late... and that is NOT funny.

Jerry Seinfeld- his stand up act is never funny.

Exactly. Although I thought he was always preachy and seldom funny.

Someone earlier in the thread pointed out the obvious that it depends on personal taste; on that I have to agree. Case in point, I think Samantha Bee is brilliant. I would imagine that not many staunch right-wingers like her, though. She rips all politicians, but Trump and Team Elephant usually offer more fodder.

I've never watched Samantha Bee's show or even know what her voice sounds like, but I hate her because every time a politician says anything that could be seen as outside of the mainstream, I have to see a headline the next day of "Samantha Bee absolutely EVISCERATED (insert public figure's name) today and you won't believe it!"

The same goes for John Oliver.

"Evisceration" humor is my least favorite genre of comedy.

And before anyone jumps on me for being a neocon, I live in a major city in a blue state and voted democrat down the line this past November.

Man you can not say that enough. Samantha Bee, John Stewart, John Oliver, Keith Olberman, probably a few others... all the same stuff one talking head that at some point "goes off" on X political figure.

It's predicable and getting kinda boring.

Honestly, I've never really found Will Ferrell very funny. I know many people think he's hilarious but he just doesn't do it for me.

Just curious, where do you see these headlines? I'm online quite regularly and use all the various forms of social media, and I don't ever recall seeing anything like that.

Wait, you said popular? I retract my answer.

Bang on, both are terrible but neither are popular.

Eric Andre - Did he pay the Cartoon Network to air his show during its Adult Swim hours? It is absolutely atrocious.

Hannibal Burress - More bland than watching paint dry.

Or you can go through the pages upon pages of sites and videos:

Marc Maron is an interesting choice.

He did have the President on his show, so he is famous enough to get that gig.

But he is not very well known to large audiences.

The big stars do lowest common denominator jokes to get large audiences.

Maron is a bit dark.

I like Dave Attell. He's just below the every popular radar but famous enough for many to know who he is.

Going with the OP's theme, I didn't like Robin Williams comedy that much but he was great as a dramatic actor.
