unfunniest "comedians"

Enfield

yeah i prefer the Lisa Simpson "just don't look" approach to these tossers

mind i don't really like stand-ups so this is best not the thread for me eh?

you have to sift through a lot of shite but i'll rep for dara o'brian and even dylan moran as worth taking time out to catch.

non-standup comedians can be unfunny too

but they're easier to over-look

Dylan Moran is one of the select few standups i would actually consider seeing live. Louis C.K. as well. Can't actually think of any others.

I actually came in to mention Louis CK! I think he does some interesting stuff with his show but I've never once even considered laughing while watching his standup. Is he better live?

i find his controversiality too considered and forced. He bunches up before he swears. I think i prefer someone like tim minchin's approach to offensiveness.

... be actually offensively horrible in every aspect of your persona and stage show? it's a look

well, yeah!

The Aristocrats features performances and commentary from some of Hollywood's biggest power players in comedy, TV and film.[3]

Rumors cited in this film suggest that Chevy Chase used to hold parties at which the goal was to tell the joke for an hour, without repeating any of the acts contained in its performance. Penn Jillette notes in the movie that, no one has ever been able to listen to Chevy for an hour.[4]

otm

everybody who has ever appeared on BBC3 ever

Penn Jillette

Chevy Chase could be the unfunniest asshole in the universe - which he certainly isn't - and he wd still be funnier than outspoken Libertarian fucknut Penn Jillette

not rly into "comedians" with inverted commas in the title as if unfunny comedians are somehow betraying or excluded from the type rather than exactly typifying it

I wonder why Christmas season comedy is such a bigger thing in the UK. I found this really curious last year, during my first UK Christmas, whilst being bombarded on the tube by so many ads for terrible looking dvds by comics I'd never begun to have heard of (e.g. Alan carr, lee Evans, etc.) Such that I almost have a masochistic curiousity to see if and how bad their routines actually are.

alan carr is far from the worst.

smdh @ 'stewart lee' up above, smdh

it is possibly the most challopian post i've ever read

the answer to this thread is ALL OF THEM WITHOUT EXCEPTION

OTM x 100000000

answer to this thread: lex

shakey otm

serious r&b fan is serious

the worst comedian is probably some no-name that had an appearance on "comic view" in 2001

lex, what do you find funny?

I come to this thread to find new funny comedians - it seems as if everyone who's ever told a joke on stage is mentioned.

was at the Broadway Comedy Club on 53rd and 8th in NYC at their 11 pm show last Saturday.

they sat me in the front, which meant I knew I'd get picked on, but I didn't care, cos if someone gets in some good zings I usually find it hilarious.

the MC of the evening was this unfunny guy whose name I forget (other than he was Irish). His brand of humor was telling me that I looked like a rapist, asking me if I was there by myself (which I was, as I took the trip alone as my bro couldn't make it), and then saying "he says that like it's not the creepiest thing in the world to go to a comedy show by yourself" and started telling everyone I was 'scaring' him.

nobody laughing, really hella awkward. I wasn't mad so much but I just sat in silence (as did most of the audience, cos his set wasn't funny at all). Rest of the show was fun and in bounds but man....that's acceptable now?

Frankie Boyle.

I will never understand why someone would feel it's their calling to stand up in front of an audience and make them laugh, only to derive your entire act on mean-spirited pisstaking. Maybe these people have always done it, taking the piss out of people, and mistaken the awkward murmuring that ensues as genuine mirth

So many amateur stand up nights are like this aren't they?

mistaken the awkward murmuring that ensues as genuine mirth...

i mean, watching an actual standup do crowd work can be funny. but yeah 99% of crowd work is going to be like that.

I usually enjoy being made fun of by standups, but saying I look like a rapist was a weeeee bit over the line, especially since I wasn't heckling or being disruptive or anything.

trevor noah

jeff garlin

i never did that shit when i was a standup. at most, when someone was opening birthday presents at the first table, i asked what they got.

gonna need to see a WDYLL, Neanderthal

luckily you have years of them to choose from

maybe you do look like a rapist? maybe you carrying a knife and wearing a mask wasn't the best outfit for the evening?

are you a man, neanderthal? then you do look like a rapist!

makes you think

ilx outdoing the shittiest open mic hosts each and every day

also the very few times I've been to stand-up comedy shows someone on stage has said something really horrible about a crowd member. last time the first act made a comment about how low-hanging the breasts of a woman were who was with a guy who was getting ejected for being a sloppily drunken heckler, the entire crowd turned against him and the rest of his 10 minute set was a complete failure

Who was the comedian who El-Kabonged a heckler in the head
