Which comedian do you hate the most?

Dane Cook is easily the best on that list. I can't believe anybody finds Carlos Mencia, Lisa Lampanelli or Larry the Cable Guy better than him. He's not the best, but he is definitely better than the rest of the comedians on the list. Not sure who to vote for.

Andy Kaufman wasn't a comedian. He was a ironic humorist. And a genius.




I don't really understand all of the Dane Cook hate 'round these parts. Perhaps I just have a really horrible sense of humor, or I'm the appropriate age group his style attracts, but I can relate to a lot of what he talks about in his stand-up, and genuinely find myself laughing aloud to his more robust stuff.

Then again, I like Family Guy, so what i find funny isn't really in line with most other 'intelligent' people. What do I know?

They all suck but I detest Lampanelli and insult comics in general.

Silverman has this one lead-off line that stuck with me.  First thing out of her mouth, delivered with complete deadpan stare....

I don't think that's true, HOWEVER I know of a guy whose stand-up is exactly that. His name is Bob Saget. Stay away from his comedy at all costs, if you ask me. He would probably fit in my personal 'other' category on that poll.   You're right with Saget. At least he's not so loud. But Cook? Talk loud, say f**k, talk louder, say f**k, talk louder about sex and sh*t (literally), say f**k, yell, f**k, scream, f**k, f**k.... that's all he does.   Maybe people just love a guy that has no problems being a jerk in public. They love the show-off. The "I do what I want" attitude. I prefer comedians that may seem insecure or quieter but that make actual jokes.

See, again. I don't really see that.

Dane (as has been pointed out earlier by Greg W) can be incredibly unfunny for long periods of time, but then out of nowhere he'll say something that has be in stitches many minutes straight. His comedy DOES have a lot of profanity, but that isn't all he does. He actually does tell jokes. Now whether or not everyone finds his type of humor truly funny is a different story, but to claim that he doesn't even tell real jokes is a bit off the mark, in my opinion,

I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy, or anything, but I'm just trying to put in perspective something that many people largely assume about Cook without actually watching him long enough to see what else he can do.

I have a weird taste in stand-up anyway, though. For instance, my favorite stand-up comic was a guy named Richard Jeni. Many, many people have never heard of him, so maybe that's a clue to how obscure my taste can get at times.

I think Dane is good for what he does; but what he does is college humor, for the most part. Not everybody is going to understand it. I still think it's a matter of personal taste, and not as simple as lack of talent. I believe Cook does have talent, but he aims it at a very specific audience. Bob Saget, on the other hand, has absolutely no talent, regardless of who is watching. But even that's just opinion.
