He was quite funny in 30 Rock. I was going to do 'who is the funniest?' but watching 5 minutes of Dunham has made me curmudgeonly.

I bet big
i mean, dane cook is awful, and it's hard to defend dane cook, but being a huge asshole usually allows for some humor either way. for an extended set he really grates & is pretty unbearable, but he has some hilarious bits where the social commentary is pretty spot on. my big problem with him is that he allows for his fans to be really misogynistic & horrible without understanding that dane cook is an y'know a comedian. i feel basically the same way about larry the cable guy.
the ventriloquists are just so plain & horrible & offensive to anyone that has a personality and/or might try and discern what is funny and what isn't funny
― truth bomber ginsburg (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 27 September 2009 23:07 (fourteen years ago) link
admittedly i have no idea if the other ventriloquist is shittier but even asking that question is kind of like which fire is hotter when you put your hand in it so im going with the one ive inadvertently been exposed to
― A DOG, A BARREL... RIDICULOUS! (jjjusten), Sunday, 27 September 2009 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
However much you might dislike Dane Cook, I do not understand how anyone could possibly name him the worst of a list that includes Jeff Dunham and Larry The Cable Guy.

I've seen some funny ventriloquist/puppeteer comedians before, BTW.

I accidentally saw 5 minutes of a Jeff Dunham 'special' on cable, it was some of most wretched comedy I've ever seen. This poll belongs to him.

Is this top ten American comedians? I'm assuming it is - I have to admit I've only actively heard/seen 2 out of this whole list (Seinfeld and Rock). I've heard *of* about 2 others (Cook and the Cable Guy). Who the eff are the rest.
