Maxim's 12 least-funniest comedians ever

    Seems appropriate that the list of the 12 least funny comedians ever isn't funny at all.

    And like someone else said, any list that does not end with 1.) Carrot Top cannot be taken seriously.

    How is Brett Butler not on that list? Her act was Roseanne, only not as funny.

    Cripes. Look at her website, specifically under "appearances." That's all you need to know. http://www.brettbutler.com/appearances.html

    I thought Grace Under Fire was a perfectly good show the first couple of years, until Brett Butler got into prescription drugs and the 14-year-old who played her son. That's why they changed Quentins. For a while, Brett Butler was a good candidate for the dead pool.

    Can someone post a simple list of the comedians? I can't get on the Web site at work.

    Mencia is terribly predictable and hit-or-miss -- mostly miss. But he's not bad enough to rank with those hacks.

    Good call.
    I forgot about her. She belongs on the list.

    Every now and then, I'll catch a rerun of her show on a local station. I keep waiting for the funny episode.

    Too true. If you're gonna bag on a group of people for not being funny, you better bring it yourself. This thing reads like the worst work of a college newspaper.

    Well, yeah, if you've lived in nySportsJournalists.com all your life, the Midwestern humor may not resonate. There were plenty of funny shows the first couple of years.

    Gee, I lived in NYSportsJournalists.com all of my life and I found Roseanne hysterical. If memory serves, her show was based out of the midwest. Care to try again?

    That show was about Roseanne's outsize personality and stunt casting more than about a sense of place. Grace Under Fire was the real deal. Not saying that it was better than Roseanne, I'm just saying that it tried to be more real to its setting.
