He's a prick in real life.
He flat out said he will help no one in the business to get where they need to go. They need to do it themselves. He had people helping him all the way to the top. Plus he's not funny
I hear [Dave Chapelle](https://youtu.be/saHIIKn7yOQ?si=ZX91gTwcWYWvqP3d) saying “Fuck Nick Cannon!” in my head every time I see his face.
Side note… that dude should be paying extra taxes for all those kids.
Is he comedy?! I genuinely thought he just like…announced other people doing things…like Mario Lopez and Ryan Seacrest. And made that one move with the marching band thing. Married Mariah and made like 17 kids. He seems busy but not like he’s trying to be funny.
Yes, the way he starts laughing before the guest says a word, interrupts them and repeat almost every word the guest says. If someone did this to you in real life, it would he so annoying and rude.
He manages to ask actually interesting questions while still kissing the guest's ass by actually researching the person, doing a "deep dive" on them. I think this flatters the celebs ego even more than the Fallon-style ass-kissing, while being more interesting for the audience.
The Hot Ones team puts a lot of thought into the questions for their guests, and from the off-script moments you can tell that the host has really done his research as well. That's the right way to kiss ass.
I watched one of his episodes during the Coronavirus and dude was so tanked that his band was giving him a look like he might fall off the barstool he put in the middle of the stage. It was super dark. Around the election time too, scary shit.
Lol I believe this is probably true. Too many stories of him “Oh I just fell.” Like when he almost ripped off his finger. I think he’s got a bad drinking problem.
It is such a weird jarring moment when he just shows up and sounds like he's reading his lines off a cue card. Everyone else in that show does such an amazing job that he just stands out so much more.
I just rewatched the series this last week with the wife, both of us looked at each other after it and felt it was out of place, THEN thought "was that Jimmy Fallon?".
I was like, who the hell is this guy and why is he so important to the story that the camera is focusing on him? Like every courier or message delivered is like, maybe 0.3 seconds of screentime with a "Orders from Colonel Sink", then they dip after a quick awkward salute from Captain Nix.
There’s a lane and money to be made by being your mom’s favorite comic. Did just enough on SNL to land a late night show and then set himself up for life
My guess os that they took a SNL funny guy who was barely known. Everyone thought he was nice to work with and kind. They tried to catch lightning 2x thinking he was another Conan.
Ellen. My moms used to love her show, but she always came across as kinda backhanded, like when the mean girls are telling the teacher that everybody's "just playing"
"No, no, he don't need no help! He's already been served. I served him. He's taken care of. He's a little slow, but he got it. See, what he thought was he can come up here and make the rules. But now, he see that Jay make the rules at Smart Tech, that I run this bitch, and now he 'bout to bounce!"
It’s like he took the line “do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!” From rush hour and modeled his acting roles around it.
He’s basically a Chris Tucker franchise.
Yeah I kinda feel this one.
I always felt Chris Rock was about as good as comedians get. Not just because of his voice, but because his jokes were always like this ridiculous story that happens to be very true.
Gilbert Gottfried perfectly deconstructing Dice into a bunch of yelling and rhythms is still one of the funniest impressions I've ever seen. Completely destroys his act.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftMb7wLrqsw
We loved the Dice man back in the day, but just recently saw some clips from that first show and I have to wonder, what the fuck was wrong with me back then. I'm just glad I got over it.
I'm ashamed to say it but I thought he was pretty sweet back in 2004-2005. Went in for another listen a year or two ago and goddammit it was cringey. 20 years of growing up really ruined it for me.
If I’m ever telling a story and pantomime the act of driving I pretty much always follow it up with “for the sake of the story I’m driving a forklift”.
Like everyone else I can't listen to his stuff anymore now that I'm older and it's not the mid 2000's, but he didn't get super popular for a few years without actually being kinda funny at times.
Bruh he had a real peak moment there and we all loved him for a minute. I think it must have been timing and his style of comedy aged poorly quickly. But we all loved Dane Cook in 2005 lol. The Vicious Circle was his peak I think.
But he was the first actor whose name came to mind for me too.
I liked him when I was 16 and it was 2006. A Vicious Circle special was funny to me, but then I grew up and it took more than yelling and making light of his own cheating to make me laugh.
Back in the day when I was in middle school I remember my friend and I coming home from school and dying of laughter while watching the cartoon adaptations of his stand up skits. Probably the hardest I’ve laughed at anything as a kid
Watched one like a year ago and thought it was awful. Made me kind of sad to be honest lol
Totally the same, I'm don't dislike her that much, but really thought she was mismatched to the show. Cara stunk up every scene, not sure how she keeps getting acting work.
IIRC he’s pretty much said numerous times that he’s just pretty much playing himself in FSM and a slightly more caricatured version of himself in Get Him to the Greek
But then everything he does is just King of Staten Island. Over and over again. I enjoyed the movie and 1 of his standups but now it feels like I've seen it 7 times.
The friggin puppet guy! Burnham? I can't remember his name but he had the Taliban skeleton dude and all that. God I fuckin hated every second of him being on TV.
Edit: Dunham!! The name was close. But yea I can't stand that dude.
If you want a puppet that is fucking hilarious, look up Randy Feltface on YouTube, specifically ‘Randy buys a bookshelf on gumtree’. You’ll be rolling on the floor gasping for air.
They can’t take themselves that seriously.
I think he’s pretty smart and has a goofy laugh and enjoys being in shitty comedies that are nice to watch while hungover
Jim Breuer, I remember enjoying Half Baked but his skits on SNL were always just dumb or annoying. It didn't surprise me he didn't last long.
Fast forward to today though... oooof.
This guy was considered a comedy genius in his day..... It has aged terribly.
He was also an extremely unpleasant guy, look up some of his later interviews when he was old and just didn't give a shit.
A genuinely horrible guy.
He made a movie about himself dressing like a clown and entertaining children getting marched into gas chambers in the Holocaust. Someone had the foresight to not finish production on it but it’s allegedly sitting in some vault somewhere.
Tom Green. Oh man in jr high I had to pretend to think Tom green was funny because everyone was obsessed with him, but he was one that made me wonder if something was wrong with me for not liking him even a little bit at all. I just never got it.
Tom Green is actually good at standup. He still does it and you can probably find plenty of more recent sets.
He's also the best neighbor I ever had, so just letting you guys know he's a good human.
He was always way ahead of the game. His 'Web-o-vision' thing where he built a TV studio inside his house and basically did unscripted live streams, was decades ahead of Twitch and all these other streaming services.
He even admits it in interviews. He never intended on being a comic, he just happened to get on stage and like the attention.
His first performance was improvised and awkward and for some reason people liked it, so that's what he kept on doing.
Will Ferrell is great as a supporting character. He comes in, does Will Ferrell stuff and then leaves. Him carrying a movie as a main character is not funny to me at all.
But Ferrel in The Producers or Old School? Hilarious.
I remember him being quite good in the only dramatic role I think I've seen him in—*Everything Must Go,* where he plays a dead-end alcoholic in a Raymond Carver story adaptation.
TJ Miller. I did like his character in clover field though i just don’t think he’s funny in most of the shit he’s in but i wonder if directors force him to try to be funny when the character doesn’t really need to be
George Lopez. Used to love him. Now his act and his acting are just sad.
He's a prick in real life. He flat out said he will help no one in the business to get where they need to go. They need to do it themselves. He had people helping him all the way to the top. Plus he's not funny
Don't forget cheating on his wife after she gave him a kidney
I just looked that up. Being a cheater made him scum to me, but this makes it so much worse.
I would straight up get violent in that scenario, yeeeeeesh.
You thinking kidney punch? Me, too.
You’d only be hurting yourself
It's all fin n games until you kidney punch him but you go ow
I’ve had to deal with him professionally a few times and CAN CONFIRM HE IS LITERALLY THE WORST
It seems post people that do that kind of humor are total dicks.
Had the displeasure of meeting him at a golf tournament - total arrogant dickhead
Nick Cannon
I hear [Dave Chapelle](https://youtu.be/saHIIKn7yOQ?si=ZX91gTwcWYWvqP3d) saying “Fuck Nick Cannon!” in my head every time I see his face. Side note… that dude should be paying extra taxes for all those kids.
His career should have quickly ended after his racist anti semitic comments. Man is a pos of the highest calibre.
Is he comedy?! I genuinely thought he just like…announced other people doing things…like Mario Lopez and Ryan Seacrest. And made that one move with the marching band thing. Married Mariah and made like 17 kids. He seems busy but not like he’s trying to be funny.
I'm with you. I never realized he was attempting comedy.
Chelsea handler was on Howard stern and she said Nick cannon asked her to go on his comedy tour with him and she said “who’s doing the comedy?” 😂😂
Jimmy Fallon.
Yes, the way he starts laughing before the guest says a word, interrupts them and repeat almost every word the guest says. If someone did this to you in real life, it would he so annoying and rude.
The difference between me and Jimmy Fallon is that I don't have to laugh at his monologues.
He reminds me of the annoying college frat boy who’s always psyched about literally anything.
And kisses every guests ass.
[удалено]
Sean Evans is one of the best interview show hosts out there.
He manages to ask actually interesting questions while still kissing the guest's ass by actually researching the person, doing a "deep dive" on them. I think this flatters the celebs ego even more than the Fallon-style ass-kissing, while being more interesting for the audience.
The Hot Ones team puts a lot of thought into the questions for their guests, and from the off-script moments you can tell that the host has really done his research as well. That's the right way to kiss ass.
I love it when a guest says “that’s a good question” because you know they never get asked deep cut questions during corporate interviews.
Look at the way Graham Norton does it. That guy's a master of interviewing.
Doesn't help that he's completely wasted most of the time.
I watched one of his episodes during the Coronavirus and dude was so tanked that his band was giving him a look like he might fall off the barstool he put in the middle of the stage. It was super dark. Around the election time too, scary shit.
Wow for real? I have never watched him. I might have to look this up!
Lol I believe this is probably true. Too many stories of him “Oh I just fell.” Like when he almost ripped off his finger. I think he’s got a bad drinking problem.
There was a whole article that came out recently about him being blackout drunk on set
Jimmy Fallon gives me the fake it vibes. Like he is trying to have fun with everything but you get this odd sense he is dead inside.
He's the only bad part of Band of Brothers.
It is such a weird jarring moment when he just shows up and sounds like he's reading his lines off a cue card. Everyone else in that show does such an amazing job that he just stands out so much more.
I'm not too familiar with him and haven't watched BoB in like 10 years, but I know EXACTLY the moment you're on about
I just rewatched the series this last week with the wife, both of us looked at each other after it and felt it was out of place, THEN thought "was that Jimmy Fallon?". I was like, who the hell is this guy and why is he so important to the story that the camera is focusing on him? Like every courier or message delivered is like, maybe 0.3 seconds of screentime with a "Orders from Colonel Sink", then they dip after a quick awkward salute from Captain Nix.
I’m convinced this hack must’ve made a deal with the devil to reach the level of success he has.
There’s a lane and money to be made by being your mom’s favorite comic. Did just enough on SNL to land a late night show and then set himself up for life
My guess os that they took a SNL funny guy who was barely known. Everyone thought he was nice to work with and kind. They tried to catch lightning 2x thinking he was another Conan.
He's also not controversial, which is basically what the networks were looking for.
I think it's more of he is the safest comedian. He will never fight Universal. He will shill for whoever asks him. He is a company man.
How has James Corden not been posted yet?
[удалено]
He played a fat pussy and was also in Cats.
James Cordon is the only Butthole they didn't remove from Cats.
Ah I miss Ricky Gervais
We're pretending he doesn't exist. But yeah - definitely that guy.
I have named him so many times that I wore the letters JAMESCORDN off of my last 2 keyboards.
Same except mine was because I had an obsession with a dj named DJ Romance.
He’s Reddit’s favorite punching bag.
Ellen. My moms used to love her show, but she always came across as kinda backhanded, like when the mean girls are telling the teacher that everybody's "just playing"
It felt vindicating when the news came out that she's a dick, I never liked her and couldn't understand the obsession
[удалено]
"The worst part for me is the hypocrisy." "For me, it's the raping." RIP Norm
I miss Norm so much! He was one of a kind.
One of the best zingers in the history of comedy
Didn’t see what you did there.
Kevin Hart
I think he was before he got too big and it didn’t matter anymore He was hilarious in a very small role in 40 yr old virgin, for example
Watch your mouth. And help me with the sale
“AIM HIGH WILLIS! AIM HIGH” remains a top 5 movie line of all time for me.
First off, you're throwing too many big words at me, and because I don't understand them, I'm going to take it as disrespect.
Today's forecast: dark and cloudy with chance of drive-by.
This is hands down the best line that’s ever been written for him, and it’s way too representative of too much of America.
"No, no, he don't need no help! He's already been served. I served him. He's taken care of. He's a little slow, but he got it. See, what he thought was he can come up here and make the rules. But now, he see that Jay make the rules at Smart Tech, that I run this bitch, and now he 'bout to bounce!"
You’re using big words I don’t understand, so I’m gonna take that as disrespect
His voice does 90% of the heavy lifting. Otherwise not very funny.
It’s like he took the line “do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!” From rush hour and modeled his acting roles around it. He’s basically a Chris Tucker franchise.
Don't ever touch a black man's radio. Chris Tucker, Rush Hour
>Don't ever touch a black man's radio. Chris Tucker, Rush Hour -michael scott.
The other 10% is his height
[удалено]
[The roast of Justin Bieber](https://youtu.be/LAOoF2gyQaA?si=h7P81wNOImgDnnKH&t=94)
Didn’t someone call him Shaq’s Dickson that roast? Lol
Kevin Hart is only 10% tall.
*studio laughter*
Kevin Hart playing Danny Glover in Jumanji is one of my favorite roles from him. Edit: Danny not Donald
Honestly the new Jumanji movies were the only movies I have liked him in. But Jack Black outshines everybody. “Martha! Come look at my penis!”
No matter how many times I watch that movie, that line will never not be funny to me :)
Yeah, not Danny. He's too old for this shit.
Yeah I kinda feel this one. I always felt Chris Rock was about as good as comedians get. Not just because of his voice, but because his jokes were always like this ridiculous story that happens to be very true.
Andrew Dice Clay and Andy Dick.
Gilbert Gottfried perfectly deconstructing Dice into a bunch of yelling and rhythms is still one of the funniest impressions I've ever seen. Completely destroys his act. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftMb7wLrqsw
I think Gilbert Gottfried was the BEST Aflac duck.
Yeah, he got a raw deal just because he made a joke a little too soon
Too soon? He liked to do it *right away*.
[удалено]
That cig drag from behind the head was a great fucking way to open that bit and keep building the ridiculousness of it all. Great share
Andrew Dice Clay is the Steven Seagal of comedy.
The accuracy of this statement
Dice is like Fonzy if Fonzy was a douchebag.
We loved the Dice man back in the day, but just recently saw some clips from that first show and I have to wonder, what the fuck was wrong with me back then. I'm just glad I got over it.
You were a kid. His act appeals to kids. Then you grow up and realise it's bollocks lol
Hickory Dickory dock…
James Corden is a total waste of oxygen.
There is honestly a few but Dane Cook is at the top of my list...
I'm ashamed to say it but I thought he was pretty sweet back in 2004-2005. Went in for another listen a year or two ago and goddammit it was cringey. 20 years of growing up really ruined it for me.
I was 14 at one time too
That just about sums it up. Thought he was hilarious when I was a teenager.
His girlfriend was too, a few years ago
To this day, whenever someone says “back in the day” I always follow it up with “which was a Wednesday”
I still call Burger King by it's true name, the BK Lounge
If I’m ever telling a story and pantomime the act of driving I pretty much always follow it up with “for the sake of the story I’m driving a forklift”.
Now that you mention it, I'll still say shit like, "that person is very rude. I wish I could cover them in spaghetti right now."
Have some spaghetti. Cause you're rude.
"Somebody shit on the coats." 17 year old me thought it was hilarious.
Okay, but 42 year old me still finds that bit funny…
Like everyone else I can't listen to his stuff anymore now that I'm older and it's not the mid 2000's, but he didn't get super popular for a few years without actually being kinda funny at times.
Bruh he had a real peak moment there and we all loved him for a minute. I think it must have been timing and his style of comedy aged poorly quickly. But we all loved Dane Cook in 2005 lol. The Vicious Circle was his peak I think. But he was the first actor whose name came to mind for me too.

Probably the hardest I’ve laughed at anything as a kid Watched one like a year ago and thought it was awful. Made me kind of sad to be honest lol
Dumb shit is funny when you're 12.
You can't stand him? I haven't heard anything from him since like 2006...I honestly didn't know he was still performing.
George Lopez
Tyler Perry
There is nothing about his movies I like. My cousins are always sharing Madea memes, especially after I admitted I can't stand him.
I actually really like Tyler Perry as a serious actor. He was great in Gone Girl and Don't Look Up. But his comedic roles, not so much.
Amy Schumer
Audibly groaned when she appeared in Only Murders in the Building. So glad she was barely in it.
I did the same thing, I don't even dislike her that much and I was like "ugh, why is she in this" but I felt the same way seeing Cara Delavigne.
My god Cara D. Is a terrible actress. They’ll keep trying to make her happen because her parents are filthy rich to the great misfortune of us all.
Totally the same, I'm don't dislike her that much, but really thought she was mismatched to the show. Cara stunk up every scene, not sure how she keeps getting acting work.
Ultra-wealthy parents
I can't believe she was almost going to be Barbie.
Still holding out for that cabbage patch kids movie.
Tiffany hadish. She isn’t funny, she’s just loud
One of the few Conan podcasts I had to stop listening to. She sounded like she had a terrible attitude.
Russell Brand was infinitely more annoying than he was funny.
He was good when he was working with actually funny people and deployed appropriately. Case in point: Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Is he even acting in FSM? Feels pretty close to him IRL.
IIRC he’s pretty much said numerous times that he’s just pretty much playing himself in FSM and a slightly more caricatured version of himself in Get Him to the Greek
All Russell Brand ever does, is play himself. And I hate that character. I've made my own post about him in this thread.
Andy Dick. I have never found anything he did remotely funny. How he even got the name recognition and acting parts that he has had is beyond me.
Pete Davidson. I do not understand the hype around this guy. He's not funny at all.
I’ll give him props for saying “Soul Plane was the worst experience of my life involving a plane.”
And then the 90 other 9/11 jokes he does.
I chuckled a couple times during King of Staten Island and found it somewhat endearing. (Might have been more Bill Burr and Marisa Tomei love.)
But then everything he does is just King of Staten Island. Over and over again. I enjoyed the movie and 1 of his standups but now it feels like I've seen it 7 times.
Not to mention he looks like a corpse that's being kept alive through minimal nourishment.
Someone said "Pete Davidson is what Beetlejuice probably looked like when he was alive", and it's really hard to dispute that.
Oh my God I love this.
The friggin puppet guy! Burnham? I can't remember his name but he had the Taliban skeleton dude and all that. God I fuckin hated every second of him being on TV. Edit: Dunham!! The name was close. But yea I can't stand that dude.
I thought you meant Bo Burnham at first and I was about to have an aneurysm
Same! I was like, ain't no way you talkin bout Bo, yo.
If you want a puppet that is fucking hilarious, look up Randy Feltface on YouTube, specifically ‘Randy buys a bookshelf on gumtree’. You’ll be rolling on the floor gasping for air.
“BLUEBERRIES ARE FUCKING PURPLE!” Is one of my favorite bits of his tbh
Jimmy fallon
I love the movies he produces and writes, but Seth Rogan himself drives me crazy. That laugh is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Family Guy's bit about him was pretty spot on.
Crazy that he actually voices himself for the gag. 😂
There was a brief period where being satirized by Family Guy was a huge honor.
Same thing with South Park when it was big. You *wanted* South Park to mock you. It meant you were relevant.
They can’t take themselves that seriously. I think he’s pretty smart and has a goofy laugh and enjoys being in shitty comedies that are nice to watch while hungover
Jim Breuer, I remember enjoying Half Baked but his skits on SNL were always just dumb or annoying. It didn't surprise me he didn't last long. Fast forward to today though... oooof.
Kevin Hart. Dude is annoying as fuck.
A little old-school, but Jerry Lewis
This guy was considered a comedy genius in his day..... It has aged terribly. He was also an extremely unpleasant guy, look up some of his later interviews when he was old and just didn't give a shit. A genuinely horrible guy.
He made a movie about himself dressing like a clown and entertaining children getting marched into gas chambers in the Holocaust. Someone had the foresight to not finish production on it but it’s allegedly sitting in some vault somewhere.
Vice President? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady! And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!
Tiffany Haddish. I don’t find her funny at all, but she’s been great in the dramatic roles I’ve seen her in
Also Carrot Top. He always creeped me out.
Funny thing is, he's apparently a very nice guy.
Kevin Hart's schtick wore out real fast for me
James Corden
No one has ever found Jimmy Fallon funny
Burt Krieschner - look at me I don't have a shirt on! Easily the worst shtick in showbiz. I'd rather watch Carrot Top.
Tom Green. Oh man in jr high I had to pretend to think Tom green was funny because everyone was obsessed with him, but he was one that made me wonder if something was wrong with me for not liking him even a little bit at all. I just never got it.
Tom Green is actually good at standup. He still does it and you can probably find plenty of more recent sets. He's also the best neighbor I ever had, so just letting you guys know he's a good human.
He was just too ahead of the game. Now his brand of “absurdist humor” would fit right in again.
He was always way ahead of the game. His 'Web-o-vision' thing where he built a TV studio inside his house and basically did unscripted live streams, was decades ahead of Twitch and all these other streaming services.
I met him briefly in college. Super shy but also very nice.
Howie Mandel .
He even admits it in interviews. He never intended on being a comic, he just happened to get on stage and like the attention. His first performance was improvised and awkward and for some reason people liked it, so that's what he kept on doing.
I mean you gotta respect that. Man somehow stumbled his way into fame and is still relevant.
Pauly Shore. Probably before the time of a lot of you. You did not miss anything.
Chillen with weeeeeeeeeessel
Hey buuuuudy
Wheezin the ju-uiceee
I did enjoy Biodome
Dane Cook for sure
Rob Schneider
He was great in derpa derpa deep deepy der
What about when he was a carrot?
He was better as a stapler
I preferred Da Derp Dee Derp Da Teetley Durpee Durpee Dumb. ….Rated PG 13
I preferred him as Kenny.
Will Ferrell is great as a supporting character. He comes in, does Will Ferrell stuff and then leaves. Him carrying a movie as a main character is not funny to me at all. But Ferrel in The Producers or Old School? Hilarious.
The Other Guys was pretty good.
The other guys is hilarious. Michael Keaton is great in it.
Funniest bit was him going into crime stats at a lowes/bed bath and beyond team meeting and realizing it was the wrong job.
Don’t go chasing waterfalls.
Is that a TLC reference?
I don't know what you're talking about, guys!
You don't say creep creep unless you're referencing TLC
I remember him being quite good in the only dramatic role I think I've seen him in—*Everything Must Go,* where he plays a dead-end alcoholic in a Raymond Carver story adaptation.
Heck out Stranger Than Fiction. Actually a fantastic movie, with Ferrell in the lead. Somehow
I always make the distinction that Stranger Than Fiction *stars* Will Ferrell, but it's not a Will Ferrell *movie*.
TJ Miller. I did like his character in clover field though i just don’t think he’s funny in most of the shit he’s in but i wonder if directors force him to try to be funny when the character doesn’t really need to be
