Her and Bill Hicks are the worst. They never even tell jokes, just lecture the audience and talk about politics that nobody gives a poo poo about

I watched Rob Schneider's standup act and genuinely tried to enjoy it.

At the end, I couldn't recall a single funny thing in the entire show. That'd be like going to a buffet, stuffing yourself for an hour and then not being able to remember if you ate as you walked out the door.

Even the worst comics usually have one or two decent jokes but all I could remember was that Schneider had a Mexican wife.

Dane Cook and Chris Rock because they steal other peoples' jokes and then retell them in an unfunny way.

But most standup kind of sucks. Favorite standup comedian is probably Eddie Murphy back in his prime. His "what have you done for me lately?" routine is basically all women in a nutshell.

Seconding Margaret Cho because her entire act is bad impressions of her mother. Also seconding Nick DiPaolo because he's one of those dickheads who lashes out at the audience when he bombs, because I guess it's their fault that he's not funny.

Bill Engvall is still worse than both of them, though.

I'm pretty picky on comedians I like but for some reason I find norm mcdonald funny based on his voice and mannerisms alone. he could tell a "why'd the chicken cross the road" joke and i'd still find it humorous

he's a walking breathing joke that is worth laughing at imo

Bill Hicks wasn't as pure a standup as Carlin or whatever but he was obviously very good and hating on Bill Hicks is really dumb.

Carlin did stand up for more than 20 years before he became angry political man but that's all anyone remembers him for because everything else is just him thinking up goofy poo poo and it's dated.

Any comedians that are way too political, doesn't matter which side they're on. The conservative ones are generally far more embarrassing though. Case in point:

I generally don't like the obnoxious fat guy act but I kind of like Gabriel Iglesias :( He does really cute voices and he's lost 100 pounds as of the Fluffy Movie.

It's because, despite the marketing, he does jokes that aren't just about being fat.
