The Top Ten Earning Comedians - who's the worst?

kinda surprised he's not on this list come to think of it

Strangers with Candy is the best thing CC ever did. they've never topped it, altho Colbert Report's come close

I think the entire world finally decided to be done with Carlos Mencia all at once.

Sarah Silverman Show is funny in very small doses, like say stumbling across it once every 6 weeks

i caught the abortion episode at my brother's house by accident last night, and it was brilliant

srsly CC, keep TDS & Colbert, South Park, and i'll let you skate on the old Landis and Ramis flicks playing at odd times. but for the love of fuck get rid of the rest. replace it all with reruns of Kids in the Hall or something.

this is basically what com central was about 10 years ago iirc

until you've seen "secret girlfriend" you have no idea just how low comedy central can go imo

oh god, this is so true

it makes "Drawn Together" look like brilliant, biting satire

yeah wtf at that show

xxxpost yeah the dvd I had to sit through a few years back had a bunch of weird racist shit iirc

Hahaha I recall this. Yes it did.

Would have voted Dunham had I seen this thread in time.

Dunham is pretty sketchy but I admit to guiltily snickering at "you got five different kinds of animal on!" in his commercial, which is more amusement than I've ever gotten from Larry The Cable Guy.

This might come down to the fact that I've never been forced to sit through an entire LTCG DVD.

I've never seen a Dunham bumper sticker or tattoo! I can't tell which way that swings it for me.

How is Jeff Dunham just now getting popular? I haven't seen his act since he was on Comic Strip Live in like 1991.

Jeff Dunham builds homemade helicopters.

better keep his kids away from them

I think Dunham started to gain popularity when he created that horrifically offensive terrorist puppet. At least that's when certain relatives of mine started fwding his shit to me all the time.

every single time i see this thread i see it as *The Top Ten Ealing Comedians* and i think what a good idea for a thread but then it isn't that at all it is this.

yeah how is jeff dunham getting popular is jaymc stopped following his career

His Christmas special was the most watched program in Comedy Central's history.

I'd wager Lee Evans (did the largest sell out comedy gig in brit history) and Lucas/ Walliams (Little Britain guys) would be in the UK list? Maybe Izzard?
Also i'd have guessed maybe the likes of the old-skool mob like Jim Davidson but then i recall only recently that he was in the news for being potless.

Making a good living in Dubai last I heard. Lucky old Dubai.

I think Dunham started to gain popularity when he created that horrifically offensive terrorist puppet.

I'd never heard of this guy but, as I am typing this, one of my workmates, who is a Muslim, is watching this on YouTube - he seems to know the routine off by heart too

my little brother complained the broadcasting complaints commission when they started advertising dunham's achmed the terrorist ringtones
