I was hoping there would be a Carlos Mencia vote, but then I remembered this was a "Worst Comedian" thread, not a "Talentless Plagarist" one.
Poll: Who is the worst comedian?

I posted the thread, and led with something like, "your choices for BEST comic are also welcome."RAND00M said:
Oh God, how could I forget the incredible Lewis Black? This guy makes Sam Kinison look like Barney the Purple Dinosaur.
Im not actually aware of any American comedians who I like, not that I dislike the I just dont know them. Apart from Reginald D Hunter who is on 'Have I got news for you' occasionally and is always hilarious. Apart from him theres a ton who I like, Bill Bailey probably top of the list closely followed by Dylan Moran, been watching Black Books lately it AMAZING!! go and watch it now!
HA! Validation! I've been saying Denis Leary is just a Bill Hicks wannabe for years, to which most people would reply "Bill who?" Feh, isn't there a Dane Cook HBO special you should be watching?funguy2121 said:
RIP Mitch Hedberg. "I used to lie awake in my twin bed, wondering where my brother was" "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too..." "My friend said to me, 'I think the weather's trippy.' I said, 'No, man, it's not the weather that's trippy, perhaps it is the way that we perceive it that is indeed trippy.' Then I thought, Man, I should've just said, 'Yeah.'"
Other faves of mine from over the years: The aforementioned Robin Williams, his mentor Jonathan Winters, George Carlin, Jim Carrey (before he got famous), Eddie Izzard, Eddie Murphy (before he went nuts), Dave Chappelle & a whole bunch of others I can't think of right now...

My least favorite comedian is John Scogin. He was a jester for Richard the III. One of his "jokes" was burning a church to the ground with homeless people trapped inside.
The next least favorite is Andrew Dice Clay
These are some of his jokes. Keep in mind this is not a self parody like Stephen Colbert.
Like look at these Japs. These madame butterfly wok-using little nip motherfuckers! I mean I go into a bank and the name of my bank is hiuhuyuyuyu! They're takin over! Didn't we drop 2 bombs on them a few years ago? What was in those bombs, fuckin' fertilizer? And they're the worst drivers; I mean, how do you drive with your eyes 3/4 closed? You could blindfold these people with fuckin'dental floss! You don't give them keys to a car! You don't put your money in their fuckin' bank! You kick em in the ass and say "Get the fuck out of the country!"
And bisexuals. Let me explain something to you. There is no bisexual. You either suck dick, or you do not suck dick. I mean, what do these guys do, get up in the morning and flip a coin to decide? Heads I want hairpie, tails- balls across the nose! Oh! And they're too sensitive man. They don't know if they wanna be called gays, fairies, homosexuals. I call 'em cocksuckers! I think that about spells it out. The gays want their rights, I'll give them their rights. 10% off of vaseline now get the fuck back in the closet!

Keep in mind he is one of the most successful comedians in America
I worked as a day player gaffer on the set of "Good Luck Chuck" when part of it was filmed at Alberta Studios here in Edmonton. From what I saw, in between shoots Mr. Cook spent most of his time hitting on anything with breasts, bitching about how cold is was in Canada (It was mid summer)and being generally unfunny. I'd like to tell you how I actually made a few comments that shut him up, but you wouldn't believe me anyway.teutonicman said:
Dane Cook has his target audience and his collection of well-worn jokes so he's happy where he is. He IS, however not a very 'funny' person, if you understand the difference.
Correction, he was one of the most successful comedians in America, for about 45 minutes. A flash in the pan who used profanity to 'shock' people at his shows. People didn't go see Dice to laugh, they went to see him be offensive and the novelty wore off pretty quickly. Saying 'Fuck' to be funny, isn't.Pseudonym2 said:
What are you talking about? that guy's awesome!Joshimodo said:
Though I think Dane Cook is a massive twat and should die in a fire.
I only get to pick one of these names? Damn!
Yeah don't bother trying to discuss who's a bad comedian, there's too many.
Good ones, however: George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg (R.I.P. saw him in my town like two months before he died), Doug Stanhope, Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, David Cross, people like that.
