Most overrated comedian / worst comedian?

[Zavulon]

My vote goes to Frank Caliendo. He SUCKS. Yes, he can do imitations, but he can't be funny while doing them. Dana Carvey and Darrell Hammond can, but Caliendo couldn't make me laugh with laughing gas.

To reiterate: he SUCKS.

What say you?

1. Most overrated? Larry the Cable Guy.

Worst? That Lopez idiot.

[Zavulon]

3. Oooooooooooh.

Forgot about those two.

Larry the Cable Guy did at least make me laugh once, when he referred to taking a dump as "taking the Browns to the Super Bowl."


I've never seen Lopez's standup, but his show is as bad as Foxworthy's was.

2. Richard Lewis.

4. I'm over Caliendo

When I first heard him do Bush and Madden and Barkley, I thought WOW! But it's worn thin by now.

But comics that just never did it for me...

Artie Lange
Paul Reiser
Kathy Griffin
Rita Rudner
Katt Williams

Now one guy, that I'm sure will end up on this list, who I think is HYSTERICAL yet I seem to be the only one judging some of the vicious critiques I've seen levelled at him (often, oddly enough, from other comics), Dane Cook.

5. Carlos Mencia.

I'm just not getting his whole thing...

6. Overrated is Dane Cook hands down...

Underrated has to be Doug Stanhope

7. Jerry Seinfeld

Don't get me wrong. I loved Seinfeld the series, but it wasn't due to any perceived excellence of Seinfeld's act. It was just exquisitely written and I think that was mostly Larry David.

9. I second. n/m

[Initech]

8. I second everyone named in this thread so far.

Except Seinfeld.
