Do actor/comedians count?


Tyler Perry - Well... I guess this one doesn't count but his plays/shows get rather pretentious with its message.

Will Farrel - I just don't see it, he's a hit with middle class people though.

Dane Cook

Carlos Mencia - Once I found out about the thefts I lost respect for him, but comedians shouldn't make fun of people who don't get their jokes. Just saying, it reeks of sour grapes.

George Lopez - Nah, not into racial stereotyping.

Adam Sandler - Am I the only one that notices he plays the same near identical roles in his movies? Angry screaming wimpy guy who grows a set near the end typecast?

Jack Black - See Adam Sandler (Awesome Family Guy spoof of this) I'll give him credit that he tries to do something unique once in a while and is a fantastic VA.

Sarah Silverman - Crazy Liberal Puppet, and they gave her a show.

*Any comedian that rode the George Bush/Palin/Republican hate train for years... most of you are practically out of work now you posers! I'm no Republican, or Democrat, but playing one side against the other to boost your career is very cheap.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few positive ones I like:

I actually liked Seinfeld, sometimes its hit or miss but at least he didn't go the route of Bob Saget (As to my knowledge) and tries to downplay his Full House career by swearing and going vulgar.

Bill Cosby is good, I don't care what the community thinks of him at least he had the courage to speak out as he did.

Eddie Murphy+Richard Pryor - They were vulgar yes, but they were always that way.

Dave Chapelle - He's good as long as he avoids racial profiling, cant stand the comedians who start out a joke with "Why does a white XXX do this" and ends with "Black people do this..."

Adam Sandler, I enjoy his movies less and less.
Michael Cera, his "style" got old after his 1st couple of movies.
Ben Stiller, Used to enjoy him a lot but now he just annoys me.

After finding George Carlin a few years ago, my comedy tastes have greatly changed for the good.

David Letterman, the CBS years. Liked the old Letterman from NBC days, especially when the old lady would swear at him in the audience. Now, he just seems bitter most of the time.

I second the David Letterman...I just figured he knew somebody in the business. I would say George Lopez. An unattractive man and incredibly not funny. Bob Sagat from the sitcom with the Olson twins. He was not funny in any way shape or form. A couple of these idiots is why I do not miss not having a TV at all. I think a lot of the people on TV in hollywood must just know someone...

At least they don't appeal to me. Anyway the point of TV was to sell advertising, and not necessarily to entertain...too bad there are jerks out there who are attempting to do the same to the internet. Grrrrr

Speaking of which, WHAT HAPPENED to the HIlarious BLond Hottie who used to host the Daily Show? He was a hoot, and also attractive. The new guy is not bad, but not nearly as funny...
