He's a consumate waste of air time.

He deserves to be sweeping out the Superdome.

6. I get embarrassed for him sometimes. I feel bad that nobody is laughing.
He's good at injecting the occasional quip about masturbation or anal sex as a SIDEKICK. But he is unable to carry an entire show by himself. And he wants to be able to rant like Lewis Black, but he just can't do it. He's not funny enough.

7. Ahh, the nightly "Carrolla is totally fuckin worthless" thread. I'm in.
He sucks beyond sucking, telescoping every retreaded joke with an obnoxious smirk.

11. I flamed him in a thread when he first came on after the Daily Show, but
now I feel more forgiving.

He's not so bad.

At least he's not that fweeper Quinn they used to have on after the Daily Show.

Sure I'd rather see the Daily Show followed by a repeat of the Daily Show, however, they could do worse than Adam Corolla.

12. You're not the only one. We had a poll about this a while ago.
It unanimously declared him a worthless POS as an entertainer; just...someone who needed to go AWAY.

17. He's not as bad as Colin Quinn was
But it is a bit painful to watch him flop jokes at times...I think the 11:30 time slot after the Daily Show is where comedians are sent to die...it's a conspiracy, I tell you! :tinfoilhat: :silly:

19. Colbert is laugh out loud funny
Do you know if he's doing it "in character" or in a more Jon Stewart-ish fashion?

21. He's a perfect example of networking in your career.
It's not how good you are and getting the job on your own merits. It's who you know.

26. Corolla is running on borrowed buddies, IMHO.
He's gonna run out of cronies soon. Would that the pRez would do likewise.

"running on borrowed buddies"
Nicely done. I might be "borrowing" it in the future :)

22. I had his show on Tivo (had is the word)
I loved the man show (sorry if I am sexist for liking it). Kimmel and Corolla were a great team. Either one alone, sucks.

25. He was okay on Loveline
with Dr. Drew and Diane Farr. But that was because all he had to do was crack a masturbation joke every now and then.

39. The original Loveline had The Poorman instead of Carolla
The Poorman was a DJ. "Loveline" started as a late-night radio show on KROQ in Los Angeles, where The Poorman worked. Dr. Drew was on the original show.

The Poorman was better, of course.

Too bad that's the only discernible one he has, though....

29. No
He's a tool, as is Jimmy Kimmel.

Hell, the Man Show was just one big toolbox.

31. A 40-year old who thinks he's still a frosh in college.
And a pretty dumb frosh at that.

32. His face is always sort of scrunched up
Eyes nearly closed. Like Gilbert Gottfried.

35. Talented creative mind - awful TV/radio personality
he has good ideas and seems to make successful shows - but he should never get in front of the mic/camera
