WORST comics
I don't think we've ever done this one before.

Carrot Top (is it one word or two?)

Colin Quinn

Jay Leno (used to be good)

Denis Miller (used to be good, got a family and $$$ then turned Con.)

Half the people that appear on Quinn's show

I know I'm missing a hell of a lot...I'm sure I'll add later.

1. Gallagher
About as funny as spinal cancer.

2. The sad thing about Galligher
is he has some great social comedy, but he screws it up with his mellons.

8. I disagree.
Saw Gallagher live a few years back. I'd always enjoyed his "prop" comedy. But apparently he decided it was fashionable to become Andrew "Dice" Clay, and morphed into a misogynistic, chauvinistic fathead. It's a shame.

10. It's also an embarrassment to have your brother doing your old acts
Talk about milking the cow.

I can just imagine this conversation:

Dude 1: We went and saw Gallagher last night! He rocked!

Dude 2: No way! I didn't know Gallagher was in town!

Dude 1: Errr...he wasn't. We saw his brother.

Sad...just really sad.

5. I used to LOVE Gallagher...
Until he did a bit with a can of Silly String and captioned it: "AIDS in a can. Now you don't have to fuck a fag to get it."

Suddenly he was just another asshole to me.

21. That's disgusting. I had heard that he's a right-winger, but...
I didn't know Gallagher was a disgusting homophobe as well.

Fuck Gallagher (FIGURETIVELY, of course)

3. I'm with you with carrot top
every now and again comedy central will get some blonde with a whinny voice and I just want to chock her when she laughs.

Dennis Miller can be whitty sometimes but he's not as funny as he thinks he is.

Gallager would be nothing without the sledge-o-matic.

15. Not just that. When you do understand it, it's snide comments. He
uses humor as a prophylactic against his criticism of Arabs, Palestinians, intellectuals, etc. So, when he's taken to task for his opinions, he says, "It was a JOKE!" Or worse, when he says that he meant it and YOU have the problem, not him.

9. He's a "safe" black comedian...
Middle class white America LOVES "safe" black comedians.

23. I like Sinbad.
his skits on growing up and his mom are funny.


I don't need to hear cussing and sexist comments to think someone is funny... I also like Eddie Murphy's RAW - so I'm not a prude.

7. Whoopi Goldberg
Or, as I heard someone refer to her, "A nation decides not to hurt someone's feelings."

13. I was gonna say "Mallard Fillmore" and "B.C."
But I guess you meant standup comics.

That would have to be Robin Williams. A frenetic mess without the human touch. Humor only someone on cocaine would find entertaining.

14. I agree also on Colin Quinn
Didn't know he was supposed to be a comedian. I knew he was a stooge on some MTV show way back. His guests are all obnoxious know-nothing nobodies.

I especially hate the grotesquely obese white guy who talks in ebonics because he "came up in Compton". That's a bunch of BS. He's a pretty horrible comic, too, BTW.

19. Dice?


How many times can you say "snapperhead" and have it still be funny?

20. Yakov (Jackoff) Smirnoff...
He shames the illustrious Smirnoff name. Plus he's a jerk.

:puke:

Actually, he seems to have disappeared. Perhaps he's dead. Which would be a great loss to the planet, of course.

:evilgrin:

22. Didn't he have a theater in Branson?
Maybe he still does. I guess Cold War humor still plays there, eh?

24. Yep,
And I do believe he is a staunch Repug... spoke at one of their conventions, IIRC.

25. Oh, good...
If there's one place I'll never be found, it's Branson, MO... that must be one weird place... Vegas for the combover crowd.
