I Would Rather Endure the Sound of a Deafening Train Horn Than Listen to These Comedians Pt. 3

February 7th, 2010

A list of some of the worst comedians in America. These people shouldn’t even be classified as comedians because they bring shame to the title. If you hate yourself and hate life than you should definitely check out these comedians. I would rather endure the sound of a deafening train horn in my ear than listen to these comedians. So, without further ado, the worst comedians alive:

Margaret Cho

There is only really one joke in Margaret Cho’s repitoire and that is the one about how crazy her asian mother is. It’s a joke that gets old very fast. Cho’s very often explicit detailing about her sex life and bisexuality have made her a Queen among gay men and the GLBT community as a whole, with a large portion of her fanbase from the GLBT community. There are comedians that are bad and then there are comedians that are just flat out annoying, and Margaret Cho falls into that category. Someone should really stop her from getting on stage anymore or from letting her talk in public, period.

Larry the Cable Guy

I’m not sure if Larry the Cable Guy aka Daniel Lawrence Whitney is a genius or a moron. The fact that he has created his Larry the Cable Guy persona after years of failing in the comedy circuit seems to be evidence that Daniel knows that his Larry character would be popular to idiotic, lowbrow Americans and he is milking it for all its worth. The fact that he seems to be the only one “in” on the joke doesn’t make up the for the fact that his jokes are just flat out stupid and offensive on just about every level of human decency. Even if Dan is subtly making fun of his core audience the fact that he is popular makes me doubt the longevity of the human race.

A list of some of the worst comedians in America. These people shouldn’t even be classified as comedians because they bring shame to the title. If you hate yourself and hate life than you should definitely check out these comedians. I would rather endure the sound of a deafening train horn in my ear than listen to these comedians. So, without further ado, the worst comedians alive:

George Lopez

If you like stale, juvenile jokes about racial relations and the Mexican American experience, check out George Lopez. There is good racial humor and then there is bad racial humor, Lopez is in the latter category. If you’ve seen any of his standup than you should know that Lopez is just one slight notch above Carlos Mencia in terms of overall intelligence. The truth is that a lot of Lopez’ success has come about because he has bullied people in the television industry to get him his own shows because of the lack of Latino voices on TV. While I won’t argue that there aren’t enough Latinos on tv, why does Lopez have to represent them?

Carlos Mencia

While Maxim magazine isn’t necessarily the most credible news agency, even they have listed Carlos Mencia 12th in their worst comedian of all time list. To understand Carlos Mencia’s humor you just have to think of the most broad and vulgar racial stereotype jokes possible and you’re close. Not only is he a terrible comedian but he is also a hack, with numerous comedians coming out and accusing him of stealing jokes from them, which is one of the biggest faux pas you can make as a comedian. In a funny “South Park” bit Mencia is seen admitting to stealing jokes in the end saying “I took credit for [the joke] because I’m not actually funny! I just take jokes and repackage them with a Mexican accent!”

A list of some of the worst comedians in America. These people shouldn’t even be classified as comedians because they bring shame to the title. If you hate yourself and hate life than you should definitely check out these comedians. I would rather endure the sound of a deafening train horn in my ear than listen to these comedians. So, without further ado, the worst comedians alive:

Dane Cook

If you’ve ever been to a frat party and had to endure the drunken jokes that that one kid hanging around the keg has to tell, than you’ve heard just about all the good jokes that Dane Cook has, and there are not many. Most of Dane Cook’s jokes are about him banging broads and how awesome he is. They aren’t really jokes, they are just stories about how often Cook gets laid laced with some observational humor. The sad thing is that in the industry, even fellow comedians hate Dane Cook, as Jim Breuer says about his reputation: “Everyone kills this guy…not one comedian comes on [my show] and says ‘I’m so happy for him,’ which is weird…they can’t stand this poor guy.” With the frequent reports of Cook displaying diva-like behavior at clubs he is suppose to perform, I can’t sympathize with him at all.

Kathy Griffin

Horrible, just horrible. There is absolutely nothing funny about Kathy Griffin’s act at all. I do applaud her for taking her horribleness and poking fun of it on her television show “My Life on the D-List” where she seemed to embrace her embarrassing excuse for a comedy career. While she got a lot of heat for her acceptance speech where she made remarks that some saw as making fun of Jesus, I thought it was pretty obvious that her award speech remarks were making fun of hypocritical celebrities who thank Jesus for their awards. I can respect the balls Griffin has to say controversial things in high media moments such as the red carpet and award shows, but the fact is that 90% of her comedy is just boring and dull.
