Ellen DeGeneress --- okay, we get it, you're gay. However, it's time to stop acting like a 15 year old boy and the name "Portia" doesn't have to come out of your mouth every 3 minutes!
Jerry Seinfeld --- doesn't get more annoying than his whiney, Long Island accent!

Ellen Degenerate-like her show, but I don't find her particularly funny, and I knew she was a rug-muncher LOOOONNGG before she admitted it.
Tyler Perry-his Madea movies are awful. I didn't laugh once. His "House Of Payne" TV show is lame, too. (maybe it's a "black" thing and I wouldn't understand??)
I'm not sure about his stand-up, but George Carlin's books are HILARIOUS. I laugh my butt off whenever I read them.
With a couple of exceptions, pretty much everyone from SNL is lame.
Jerry Seinfeld and his show=UNFUNNY.
Robin Williams, Robert Townsend, Rodney Dangerfield, Dice Clay, and Sam Kinison always crack me up. (Pretty much the dirtier=the better. )
I used to like Ellen Degeneres and her old show and still can watch her from time to time. I just liked her kooky personality. But when she injected her sexuality into her persona that was pretty lame. I like Sarah Silverman and Dave Chapelle and Andy Dick for the same reason, they are funny and strange and not just reading jokes from scripts. But they are all pretty messed up on personal levels which may be a sign of true genius.
TNT is running some incredibly bad shows, Tyler Perry/ Mediea, Meet the Paynes, just substandard stuff that would have been dated 15 years ago on UPN.
I couldn't agree more. It was in the contract she signed that she clear it with the animal shelter people if she ever wanted to give up the dog and place it in another home. From what I understand this was a dog with behavioral problems and the shelter knew about this. Reasonable rule, in that case. Apparently, she broke this rule, gave the dog to her friend, the shelter found out, took the dog away, made the friend's kid cry or something (naturally).... and Ellen throws a pity party on her show. And what happens? Everyone goes after these poor animal shelter people, sending them threats, and even refusing to do business with them just because of what Ellen did.
It's a prime example of someone abusing their celebrity. "I didn't get my way, but I'll cry about it on my show, get people to feel sorry for me, and get back at the meanies in the process!" *sniffle*
I haven't viewed her the same way ever since, no matter how sweet she appears on TV. And I haven't really watched her show since, either. Just once or twice when a couple celebs I reallly liked were guests of hers.
I view her as a spoiled celebrity now.
Oh man... I happened to watch Ellen's cry fest again. It's on Youtube. After seeing her display now, it's obvious to me that she staged this for effect. Don't forget that Ellen is an actress who most likely has had lots of drama classes, and can cry on cue. So, the tissue box was conveniently located for the tears of a crocodile. Between sobs, Ellen said she was totally wrong. However, she told the agency to give the dog back anyway. What a rat brat! If the agency had relented, every dead-beat dog adopter could use Ellen as an example.
Also, Ellen kept referring to the dog as "it". This dog was her own pet, and she knew the name (Iggy) and gender, but she kept saying "it" "it" "it". Something ain't right about that. In my opinion, this shows Ellen is more apt to think of a pet as an object than as a being. I would never call my own dog "it"!

Sheesh....I've seen people cry less over dead loved ones.
Dane Cook!! I liked him in Employee of the Month, but watching his stand up routines is painful. He is just not funny (in my opinion) yet he is popular.
