Funny or Not Funny?

Here's one to finish off the weekend.  Which comic actors or comedians out there - past or present - do you fail to see the funny side of?  Who does everyone roll about laughing at..... except you?

I don't get Jim Carrey, personally.  He just about got a smile out of me in Liar Liar but the rest of his movies leave me totally flat.

Chelsea Handler. Why does she have her own show? She's so NOT funny! All she does it make fun of other people. Oh! and don't even get me started on Dane Cook.

Jim Carrey-- I agree. When he does a serious role, I actually enjoy it. But other than that... no.

Chelsea Handler-- Agreed again. 

I used to find Dane Cook funny when he was just starting to get some popularity but he's been using the same jokes for so long they aren't funny anymore. 

Harry Hill.

And anyone who does "slapstick" really. It doesn't appeal to me, I prefer intelligent comedy.

Seth Rogen, all the Superbad/Napoleon Dynamite type comedy.

Adam Sandler

 THIS! And any "Southern American" comedian...Example: Larry the Cable Guy- WTF? If I hear one more douchebag say "Get er' Done"...I might go postal!

I also don't understand that Larry the Cable Guy crap.  I never did.  In fact, I think he's kind of repulsive and offensive.  I normally enjoy offensive stuff.. I mean, seriously.  But Larry the Cable Guy isn't funny about it.. he just.. well, is gross. 

I really think Dane Cook is hillarious.  He's gross, but he does it in a funny way.

I used to think Dave Chapelle was brilliant when I was like 13, but now I don't understand any of it.

I lived with mormons for a year and they really liked this very "clean" comedian.. god I can't remember his name, it was like Brian something.  I thought it was pathetic.  If I listen to stand-up, I want it to be gross.  In a movie, I can find clean comedy funny, but not stand-up.

I don't see why Sarah Silverman and Dane cook are funny.

And a lot of people will hate me for this, but I really find Will Ferrel annoying and not really that funny.

Like others have already stated Dane Cook, Sarah Silverman, and Larry the Cable Guy (the WORST offender, I puke a little every time I hear git-er-done!)

I'm not sure if anyone actually thinks he's funny, but Carrot Top sucks...he also made himself look really scary with the plastic surgery he got.

When Carlos Mencia first came out I thought he was kinda funny, but his schtick got old fast.

Never got the Jerry Seinfield thing either. I watched his show a handful of times and always thought "How is this show popular?" and "Exactly how is this guy funny?" Oh well... 

Agree about the Will Ferrl and Sarah Silverman. A lot of the others I haven't heard of! I like Russell Peters.

Monty Python...it's just painful.

George Lopez, Dane Coke, larry the cable guy agreed.....

 Brian Regan. I don't really find him funny, but I think it's rather rude that you use the word "pathetic". Everyone has different tastes...I don't find Dane Cook funny at all, but I don't say it's pathetic if people do.

 Yes! Monty Python is the worst! I know so many people who love it, so I try to bite my tongue. I'm so glad my boyfriend isn't into slapstick humor.

I also can't stand Larry the Cable Guy, and there's another similar "redneck" comedian...but I can't think of his name.

Dane Cook

Jerry Seinfeld - his stand up is so so, but I never did get the appeal of the show.

And I know he's supposed to be a "classic", but I fail to see why people say Don Rickles is funny.

Haha, people love to quote Monty Python movies!

Oh man, you guys hit me deep on the Monty Python.  I guess it takes a special kind of stupid to laugh at a sketch that consists entirely of someone saying "The.  Larch."  with a picture of a tree over and over.

I didn't like Napoleon Dynamite.  At all.  The only part that made me laugh was when he fell over a fence onto his head, and that was because I disliked him so much for what he portrayed at that point.  That movie... I could write a book on what was wrong with it.

I don't like too much race humor, it just makes me uncomfortable after a while and I want to argue it.

I don't understand Sarah Silverman either.

George Carlin, gawd.  I wish I could meet him so that I could punch him.  People take the crap he says seriously!  Hur hur humans can't hurt the environment hurrr anyone who thinks so is a stuck-up commie hahahaa.  IT'S SO FUNNY.

George Carlin is dead, so you probably don't want to punch him.
