That dork who walks around with a knit cap on and goofy smile and talks to people - how or why on Earth anyone would consider that even remotely amusing or anything other than idiotic I've no idea

I agree with Will Farrell; I love Margaret Cho though. Let me add Bill Cosby and Adam Sandler and Jim Carey to your list...you said popular. Let me add that Carey was brillant in the TV show In Living Color and funny in the movie Mask.  . |

I find Dane Cook entertaining. Not hysterically funny but I like the way he tells a story and find a lot of them relatable. Maybe it's the Boston thing.  Don't really get why people hate him so much. |

Wanda Sykes. I don't even understand how she got a show. But, I never thought Seinfeld was funny either.

Jimmy Fallon. The man bores me and at times really irritates me for a few reasons. Mostly because he tends to put random pauses in his sentences as if he's very unsure of himself. My sister keeps trying to convince me that he's really very funny, but he's yet to make me grin even a little.

I'm Dane Cook and I'm gonna pace around up here in my long sleeve shirt. I'm gonna get all worked up, ya know? Gonna talk about something that drives me crazy, but is actually a bottom feeding Comedy 101 for Beginners thing. Maybe cuss a little. Maybe talk about the penis. Is it only me that feels this way??
Jerry Seinfeld is not and never has been funny.

Two spring to mind:
Kathy Griffin and that one guy from Saturday Night Live ...Will Forte.
