1. Trevor Noah isn't funny at all, stand up or Daily Show
2. Chris Delia. He’s douchey and unfunny while performing, so I can only imagine what he’s like in real life.
3. Bill Maher is an insufferable tool
4. Seth Rogen used to be hilarious. What happened?
5. Jay Leno. The most overcompensated, overrated dork who completely sucks. I have seen better comedians at open mic nights in restaurants than him.
6. Ellen Degeneres. I saw her standup before she made it big and she bored the living f*ck out of me. As a matter of fact, I saw Paula Poundstone before Degeneres’ set and I swear Degeneres stole a couple of Paula’s jokes.
7. Dat Phan. As an Asian I could relate to a lot of his jokes so they were funny at first. Then it became clear that those were the only jokes he had. I then realized that the jokes I had laughed at weren’t as funny as I originally thought. I was 15 at the time. I was annoyed that he actually won.
8. Lilly Singh I actually didn't realize she was meant to be funny. I thought she was just the host of a TV show of some type.
9. Carlos Mencia wasn't funny at all and was just a total douche. I don't understand how anyone liked him when he was popular. All he did was steal jokes and make fun of disabled people with that stupid durr-dee-durr line.
10. I've said it before but nothing makes me laugh harder than Joe Rogan going on and on for hours about the art of comedy only to miss every single joke his guest tells for the whole of his podcast. The guests he has on with the most comedic ability are always the toughest to listen to because all of their jokes go over Joe's head.
11. I used to love Jeff Dunham, but after really thinking about it, I realized that his jokes miss way more often than they hit.Damn good puppeteering, tho. Can't take that away from him.
12. Steve Harvey asking questions like “What on a mans body can be described as ‘girthy, or beefy’”Then gets surprised when someone says d*ck lol
13. Andy Dick. I really wish I could have seen Jon Lovitz choke slam that f*cker
14. George Lopez's comedic style is as follows:This is how Group X does it....However, group Y (the group with which the comedian identifies) does it this way because we are so different (insert generic observation). It's acceptable to use one or two of those throughout a routine, but when it's your entire set, it gets old fast.
15. The stupid British f*ck that sings in the car
16. I used to think Dane Cook was funny when I was a teen. I listened to a few of his classic bits the other day and couldn’t stand it.
17. Jimmy Fallon laughs like there is a sniper aiming at him
18. Liza Koshy. Watching her gives me so much second-hand embarrassment.
19. Norm Macdonald isn’t funny…because he’s dead.
20. Kevin Hart has the ability to be funny. His early stand-up is quite good. But over the last ten years, Kevin Hart has realized that he can skate by sounding loud and angry and making size jokes. It’s really a bummer his humor is so simple now.
21. Lisa Lampanelli…The white lady whose only jokes seem to be about her black boyfriend's giant d*ck
22. Doug Benson. We get it, you smoke weed. Now write a f*cking joke already.
23. Brendan Schaub, his “special” was awful.
24. One stolen joke is a coincidence. Two stolen jokes is a pattern. Thirty stolen jokes is an Amy Schumer special.
25. Does anytime still consider Carrot Top a comedian? Or is he (finally) universally ignored?
