So Funny I Forgot to Laugh

F
FREEKTOE

I don't know about you, but I find myself horribly unamused by what passes for comedy these days. Definitely some TV shows and movies themselves, but also the people in them who are supposed to be funny. Alot of those people, at one time or another, may have been considered quite hilarious. But they have long worn out their welcome. Here are my main offenders in what I like to call "People who were funny for one reason or another, but are no longer funny, even though the media tries to cram their funniness up your ass" (catchy title, no?) Feel free to agree or disagree and discuss amongst your silly selves.


Frank Caliendo - It may just be me, but I can't stand comediens who's only bit is doing impressions. The funny wears off in about 5 seconds. This asshat is the current Master Chief of unfunny. He does a great John Madden, don't get me wrong. But THAT'S ALL HE'S GOT. And this got him on MAD TV, Fox Sunday Football AND his own TV show!! Seriously?!?!? All his other impressions just seem like John Madden doing an impression of that person. I'm trying to watch baseball, and his fat ass shows up on my screen doing the worst Pacino impression EVER!!!! I didn't even know who the fuck it was supposed to be at first!! (What is he, some sort of transient?? No....wait...it's a shitty Pacino) I'd rather watch scat video than watch Frank TV.


Dane Cook - This guy seems to be a popular choice for this category right now, but I would have to agree. Actually I think he falls better into the category of "How the hell did this fucker end up where he is today!?!?!" Two Hilarious comedy CD's = Gold. I still listen to them. An absolutely painful reality tour series on HBO, that I thought for sure was career suicide. Romantic comedy roles as the love interest opposite Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba!?!?! Are you shitting me!! Good Luck Chuck? More like fucking unbelievable luck Chuck. This dude sold his soul to the devil....there is no other explanation. Too bad the movies are pieces of shit, and he left all of his funny back on his CD's. Plus he looks like one of those dudes that is uncomfortably touchy around women. He'll say he was "just being playful" when he's mashing his cock into a girl's ear.


Ben Stiller - I thoroughly enjoy several movies that Ben Stiller is in or involved in (Something About Mary, Zoolander, Anchorman), but enough is enough. This big-eared bastard is in EVERYTHING. He's the white Samuel L. Jackson (I don't know why but I just thought of Chappelle doing Samuel Jackson Lager - IT'LL GET YOU DRUNK!! Much funnier than Ben Stiller) Heartbreak Kid gets less and less appealing after seeing the 50th commercial for it within a half-hour span. Do us all a favor Ben, and keep racking up those executive producer credits while you are BEHIND the camera.


Larry The Cable Guy - I'm so sorry DaddyFatSack, as I'm sure you worship this testicle down in them thar hills, but this guy is the anti-funny. Actually, anyone on the Blue Ball Comedy Tour NOT named Ron White is a disaster. I can't believe this guy scored two motion picture deals with his schtick. I have lost all faith in humanity as a result. If I have to hear "GIT 'ER DONE" again I'm gonna GIT A GUN and I'm coming for you Larry!! I hope this dude saved his money, cause he's not going to have alot in two years when the hicks stop buying his crap.


and the number one un-funny person in the world is..........(drumroll)

CARLOS MENCIA - Dude, I don't even need to say anything else. If you think Carlos Mencia is funny, you're a fucking asshole. Anyone who's real name is NED, who's last name isn't FLANDERS, is NOT funny, end of story!

I still laugh everytime I hear a Caliendo Bush impression...And I saw him in theater and he was good...But I agree with you on Stiller...He plays the same stupid, nervous character in every movie that has a breakdown and starts yelling at everyone. It was funny in Meet the Parents, but not the next 12 movies...As for the rest of them...Don't know anything about them...Except I fucking hate \"Git er Done\" and I've never even seen Larry the Cable Guy.

This is my all time favorite blog. Is there some type of blog award you can receive for this? I agree with everything said here. I LOVED Dane Cook's first comedy central special and his CD's and now I cringe when I see him. Also--I saw the new Ben Stiller movie because my GF wanted to go see it--and she apologized to me afterward. It's the suckiest piece of trash I've seen since that Ben Stiller movie from years back where he was trying to find his birth parents. Yes I had to sit through that torture as well.

Oh and I'm glad you exempted Ron White from the rest of those blue collar jagoffs. He actually tamed his act for that tour. If you go see him on his own tour he is one dirty son of a bitch.

I'm sorry but Frank Caliendo is a great comediean. I agree with your tirade against the others, but Frank is very talented indeed.

As a HUGE fan of comedy you make some good points. I was excited to see Frank Caliendo live this summer and while was great at dealing with a heckler, bringing it back to John Madden every 60 seconds was very freakin' annoying. \r Dane Cook, Ben Stiller, Carlos Mencia, couldn't agree with you more. \r And although while I detest the redneck catchphrase of \"Git 'Er Done\", I do respect that Larry has a funny, original act while still staying clean.

JPNor - If you want to see absolutely hysterical stand-up that's clean, you have to go see Jim Gaffigan. I saw him two weeks ago at the Tower Theater in Philly, and he was genius. He did 10 min of material on bacon, and it couldn't have been funnier.

Dane sucks ass polyps now. His original Comedy Central stand up ws really funny. One of my favs from CC is Stephen Lynch. Funny, un-politically correct songs.

Gaffigan is hilarious, but for clean stand-up comedy I have never seen anyone who could come close to Brian Regan.

\"What's the plural for box\"\r \r \"Boxen?\"\r \r Regan is fantastic.

I think Caliendo is good but hate him just because TBS shoved his show down my throat during every playoff baseball game. Dane Cook needs to crawl in a hole and die. Ron White is a freaking genius.

Holy Shit now I know why I visit this website so much! Jim Gaffigan is one of the funniest guys out there right now. His Comedy Central bit about Hot Pockets had me on the floor. And good call on the Brian Regan, MTK - he is todays most underrated clean comedian.
