xposts, dont know when this was published, but

Rowan Atkinson is revealed today as Britain's richest TV star, thanks largely to his nerdy misfit creation, Mr Bean.

The 48-year- old comedian has impressive homes in Chelsea and Oxford, drives a collection of luxurious fast cars . . . and is worth around £60million.

i mean, to go from 4th-rate hack comic playing crap dives for years to second-rate hee haw rip-off multi-million dollar industry is pretty inspired and inspiring.

i agree he's shrewd etc, but i don't hold it against him, since he's a performer...what comedian doesn't cop an alternative personality on stage

i think maybe his stage persona ate his normal self and now he is twice as big

rent, Monday, 28 September 2009 13:13 (fourteen years ago) link

logically, it works.

I mean they already have 9 of the top 10 earning comedians - ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?!

Ned Trifle II, Monday, 28 September 2009 16:06 (fourteen years ago) link

Is it Peters and Mandel that you you think are American? (they're both Canadians)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Everyone in that list is horrible except for Russell Peters. Voted for Dane Cook out of pure hatred for the man.

Alex Android (Viceroy), Saturday, 3 October 2009 03:15 (fourteen years ago) link

Results 1 - 5 of 5 for "gayne cook". (0.16 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 44 for "larry the gayble guy". (0.28 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 58 for "larry the cable fag". (0.20 seconds)

I voted Jeff Dunham. That guy's truly the worst.

The Perfect Weapon 2, Saturday, 3 October 2009 10:47 (fourteen years ago) link

my racist coworker (who I hate for many reasons) constantly tells me to youtube Akmed the Dead Terrorist because she thinks Dunham is the funniest man alive. Never heard a second of his act but willing to vote for him anyway!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Saturday, 3 October 2009 18:54 (fourteen years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Is this ILX's endorsement of Foxworthy?

How in the name of fuckity fuck does Jeff Foxworthy have a multi-million dollar career in this day and age??

Whenever I'm in any -50,000 town more than 30 miles outside a metropolitan area, it seems like there's a poster for a coming or just-passed Bill Engvall show.

Dunham just came to our campus and I had to see posters of him and his foam rubber playthings, everywhere, for weeks.

Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock are the only ones I know on that list

Why is Howie Mandel on this list? He makes his money as a game-show host. He probably hasn't done comedy in 20 years.

antexit, Wednesday, 14 October 2009 15:20 (fourteen years ago) link

so furious the Larry the Cable Guy didn't get every single vote in this poll

middle fingers to all of you

watching ads on comedy for dunhams new show where he features his hi-larious pimp puppet make me v v happy this poll turned out the way it did

FCK R VWLS (jjjusten), Wednesday, 14 October 2009 17:03 (fourteen years ago) link

And yet, Dunham is still funnier than Larry the Cable Guy!

as strikingly artificial and perfect as a wizard's cap (HI DERE), Wednesday, 14 October 2009 17:13 (fourteen years ago) link

racism as embodied by a puppet is better than racism as embodied by Larry the Cable Guy
