_________, Are You Ever Funny?

All of the above, really. I don’t think humor in general is all that funny.

I think it would…but who would do that?

Oh oh oh…

Bill Maher. Admittedly I set him to total tune-out when he started braying about how vaccination is unscientific and deadly, but he’s just such a Hindenberg ego’d horse’s ass that I can’t find anything he says funny.

If sharkjumpers are permissible I’ll go with Dennis Miller. Ten years ago I thought his rants were hysterical, but now I absolutely can’t stand him. It’s not because he’s gone right wing but because he’s a total sellout and just generally not funny anymore (plus she smirking and giggling and constant jokes about southerners all short circuit any humor content to me).

Looks around, raises hand Hmm, guess I’m in a club of one here. The “Stuart” sketches are one of the few things I find funny about Mad TV.

As for people I find unfunny–that comedian who just got his own show on Comedy Central-Mind of Mencia. Gaah. Just completely unfunny. I think the smart-ass guy who sat in the back of the class in 5th grade was funnier than that guy. In fact, I think they have the same routines.

The list is this long, and no one has named Adam Sandler? If I was 12, I might laugh at some of his stuff. MIGHT. Probably wouldn’t. He’s just not funny, most of the time he’s just loud.

Very much like Alan Arkin, another guy who mistook loudness for humor.

I think Keillor is limited by the fact that his entire schtick is so incredibly Upper Midwest that it doesn’t appeal universally outside of the Dakotas/Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa region. Inside that area, however, the man is GOD. When I lived in Minneapolis and worked in St. Paul (around 1995-1997), there were lines around the block to get into a taping of Prairie Home Companion at the Fitzgerald Theater.

How about just SNL in general? Are we that hard up for late-night entertainment that this show is allowed to continue on its own inertia?

Forgot Adam, this thread can’t be a thread until freaking Galagher is mentioned. I admit it was funny what he did recently, but nothing else is even a fig tree and flies ass close to funny.

The show goes through sometimes long periods of suckiness. Last night, NBC showed an episode from the 1985-86 season (the season that featured the unfunny, but now deceased Danitra Vance, Anthony Michael Hall, etc).

Wow, did it ever suck.

I know that this is probably a very minority opinion but I find Dave Chappelle completely, totally and embarrasingly unfunny. All his jokes seem to be Black man-smart and White man-dumb. This was never real rich territory for humor for me and the constant repetition exhausts whatever virtue it may have once possessed. :frowning:

Well, thanks for putting that image into my head. :frowning:

Now I’ll say it:

BLASPHEMY!

I’ve had bronchitis this week and the other night I actually had to turn Chappelle’s stand up off. Even though I was alone, I was laughing out loud so often it was painful.
I’ll second “SNL in General”. It’s officially the “Old Whore Who’s Now Respectable” and if there’s one good sketch in an episode they’re doing good.

As for Gallagher, it’s not his fault that he’s not funny- it’s because somebody stole his raccoon hat (scroll down), thereby “rob[bing] others of laughter”.

Can I say Chris Farley? Or is this just for the living unfunny people?

Anything Southpark-even ads for the show. Not funny. Not remotely funny.
Gallagher
Carrot Top
Wanda Sykes
Adam Sandler
Jim Carey
Redneck Tour and the stupid guy that has that bus that is promoted on Comedy Central relentlessly. So funny, I cannot recall his name.
guys that made those Jackass videos

By this, you can ascertain that I don’t care for bathroom humor. there is no explaning Jim Carey’s success to me. I almost didn’t see “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” because he was in it. I was glad I saw it, but it didn’t change my opinion of him as a comedian one bit. I do think he’s a fairly good actor, though (after seeing that film).

If we’re opening this up to include the deceased, let me add George Miller .And in the realm of the living, how about Louie Anderson?

He appeared on Letterman a lot. His gimmick was that he was always looking for a gimmick. Here’s one he didn’t think of: try being funny!

I would like to second this.

Every time I have seen his gig, I swear it is him doing a Rick James " cocaine is a hellova drug" skit that is drawn out too long and is patently unfunny. Maybe I’ve seen the same skit several times and just didn’t know it.

Will Ferrell has had a few funny seconds in the past (The running naked scene in Old School was funny.), butt does he have some gay home porn of some hollywood producer to black mail him with to get the over exposure that for some reason makes him in just about every third movie that comes out lately?

The Blue Collar Comedy Tour? I remember seeing a DVD release from them. I noticed that one of the languages it was dubbed into was French. I couldn’t help but laugh at the image of some urbane, refined Frenchman wondering what the hell he has gotten himself into as he translates "You might be a redneck if … " jokes.

Police Officers… their jokes aren’t funny, they’re frightening.

For me, one person’s ability to prevent me from laughing dwarfs all others. For him I’d have three questions:

____________, are you ever funny?

____________, have you ever been in a movie that you almost single-handedly ruined?

____________, what kind off naught pictures do you have of ex-SNL players that they giving you work?

Of course, I’m refering to that complete ass (sometimes intentional, but still not funny), Rob Shneider.
