His schtick was being the anti-PC comedian, and he was very good at it. Now that he's settled down, he's not quite as funny. Happens to a lot of comedians.

He was awesome as the resistance leader in Demolition Man.

Greg Giraldo didn't think he was funny.

I wouldn't call him "funny" per se, but he was entertaining in Rescue Me in my personal opinion.

My opinion of him would be better if his entire career wasn't based on ripping off Bill Hicks.

I thought it was funny when he blasted Smalls in the eye with the baseball.

I liked that commercial he did for Hulu.
BTW, people actually pay money for Hulu Plus? I got a free 6 mos with my new TV, and that POS crashed every time I tried to FF to the end of the Family Guy last week that got cut off on my DVR, when it finally became available some time after it aired, which wasn't within 12 hours, anyway. I know the crashing is the poor implementation built into the TV, but it wouldn't let me FF more than 6 minutes at a time without dropping out to commercial, and that's all Hulu. Oh well, I've got a reminder set to go off two weeks before my trial is up so I can cancel the stupid thing before they charge me.

His career has taken a decline now that he can no longer steal material from Bill Hicks.
I actually like Leary, but man... his theft of Hicks' material is pretty blatant.

It's not even just material, he also stole Hicks' delivery and demeanor.

I thought it was funny when I was younger.
I recently caught some of his old specials and I can't for the life of me remember why I thought it was funny to begin with it.
