Kevin Hart is great too.
I saw live Robin Williams' last stand up (2004 I believe) on Broadway and it was ing hilarious.
There was a bit about golf which was priceless.
Kevin James is funny.
Ray Romano is unfunny.
Most women commedians are unfunny. Ellen makes me laugh on rare occasions.
Has anybody heard of Johnathan Winters. Funniest man alive (if he is still alive).
Kevin Hart is great too.
His stand up kills!!!
Here is my list of overrated comedians and some of my favorite comedians.
Over Rated
Carlos Mencia Dont get me started on this guy! He only blew up because Comedy Central needed to fill the "Chappelle Void." I dont think any thing he does or say is funny and that most of his humor relies on stupid stereotypes, and recycled material. The guy has also been accused of plagiarisms I wikied the following.
Accusations of plagiarism
Comedian Joe Rogan wrote a post on his website publicly accusing Mencia of being a plagiarist, alleging that Mencia stole jokes from a number of comedians.[6]
Mencia responded to the accusations while being interviewed on the Tucson, Arizona The Frank Show, stating that Joe Rogan had fabricated the plagiarism charge out of jealousy. On his own website, Mencia argued that the material in question was too generic to be attributed to any single comedian.[citation needed]
On February 10, 2007 Rogan confronted Mencia on stage at the Comedy Store on Sunset and continued his allegations of plagiarism. A video of the altercation (created and edited by Rogan) was posted on in his website.[1] In the video, Joe Rogan's arguments were backed by different audio and video clips from other comedians including George Lopez. The Comedy Store later canceled Joe Rogan's upcoming shows at that particular venue.[7]
George Lopez has accused Mencia of plagiarizing his material. In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Lopez accused Mencia of plagiarizing 13 minutes of his material in Mencia's HBO special. He also claimed he had a physical altercation with Mencia over the alleged plagiarism.[8]
Jimmy Kimmel I'm not entirely sure that this guy is a comedian or not because I've only seen him hosting/guest hosting things but comedian or not he's not funny.
Dane Cook Enough about him has been said here but his frat boy "humor," and his stupid stories are not funny. His jokes seem to all rely on throwing cuss words into a story that is painfully unbelievable.
Will Ferrel Sometimes funny, most times not, highly overrated.
Ron White The problem with Ron White that I have is it seems he relies on the same jokes time and time again. I've heard the "tater salad" bit, and the "wife cant cook bit" several times from him and not all in the same rerun of his comedy special.
Margaret Cho A lot of people think she's funny but all she seems to do is stupid impressions of her mom and other Asian people.
My Favorite Comedians
George Lopez I think George Lopez is hilarious. His jokes never fail to make me laugh, its a shame about his show.
Eddie Izzard I've only seen him mentioned once here if you really want to laugh you gotta watch "Dressed to Kill." He does dress in drag though so thats your warning. This is really worth the watch.
Lewis Black He has turned ranting and ing into pure comic gold.
Larry David He was a writer on Seinfeld and has a hilarious show HBO (Curb Your Enthusiasm). He is a bit of a complainer and plays the idiot card a lot but the man is funny as . Watch his show if you get the chance.
Demetri Martin He is a new comer to the comedy scene and most will know him from his "Trend Spotting" segment on the DailyShow but if you get the chance check out his comedy. I bought his CD when it came out and it was totally worth it.
Dave Chapelle The man is a comedic genius his show was one of the funniest in years and the stand up special "Kill Em' Softly" is still one of the funniest of all times.
Tonight on Comedy Central he has one.Kyle Cease: Weirder. Blacker. Dimpler.

Dave Attel is not getting enough love. His stand-up is fantastic.
Brian Regan is hilarious as well.
That's my two favorites and they're like polar opposites.
I saw Lewis Black in February of this year and he was great. I'm going to see him again on Nov 16 at the Kimmel center here in Philly.
I was thinking of Daniel Tosh. His special that I was talking about is also on tonight. Tonight is gonna be hilarious.
24 owns ali g!!
carlos mencia
i cannot imagine any rational person thinking he is even somewhat funny
I caught the Daniel Tosh comedy central special last night.
He might be too edgy for some, but I thought he was very funny.
Both specials were ing hilarious.
I only caught the second special I think it was Daniel Tosh I enjoyed it...the comedian I think is overrated is Jeff Foxworthy.
Dane Cook Enough about him has been said here but his frat boy "humor," and his stupid stories are not funny. His jokes seem to all rely on throwing cuss words into a story that is painfully unbelievable.
Well, I just paid over $350 for 3 tickets to his concert at the Toyota Center on Dec 7th....so I guess I am screwed, eh?
i would say so, final four tickets are cheaper than that
....yeah -- i agree, people are basically getting sick of the same old rock/hip-hop/r&b bullsh*t..... and
there is just this big upsurge from a new style coming out of Europe -- best place i've found it so far is a
compilation series called 'euro club hits' on itunes -- or check this link:
