I think Dane Cook (minus the joke stealing) is underrated among the male demographic. He's not as bad as many people make him out to be. I'm not saying he's one of my favorite comedians, but he's funny nonetheless.


I think alot of the guys who've risen up through Last Comic Standing (Alonzo Bodden, John Heffron) are pretty overrated.


And I think a better thread title would have been acclaimed comedians that you personally don't find funny. And for that, I'd probably have to go with Bo Burnham, George Carlin, Andy Kaufman, and The Lonely Island. I don't really find any of their stuff that funny.

Dave Chappelle

Dude was in a cult classic, and then completed 33 episodes of a show before going awol. Don't get me wrong, dude has had his share of funny moments...

but the pedestal he is put upon is undeserved, imo.

Lenny Bruce.

I've gotten to the point that "funny comedian" has become an oxymoron. They're either too vulgar or too political.

George Carlin
Never really liked his stand up. More annoying than anything

Dane Cook is simply not funny. There is no other way to describe his act. Carlos Mencia is another one who defies any reasonable explanation of how he achieved his success.

Definitely Dane Cook. Also any of those white trash comedians like Larry the Cable Guy. Jeff Foxworthy can be funny occasionally but the rest of them suck and suck hard.
