Dane Cook, Gallagher, Carrot Top: Random Words and Gestures, Random Fruits, Random Objects. Epic Fail X3.
I happen to like the Blue Collar guys AND Jeff Dunham. I even have a drawing of Achmed the Dead Terrorist as the wallpaper on my cell phone.

Dane Cook and Larry the Cable Guy. How anyone can find their jokes funny is completely beyond me.

I would say Janeane Garafalo, but I'm not sure she counts as a comedienne anymore. And, well, there was that Eddie Blake guy who was a real bastard.
I really don't make it a point to hate any comedian. They're just trying to make people laugh and forget their troubles, and there's nothing wrong with that. I can't say that Dane Cook or Carrot Top or Larry the Cable Guy are my cup of tea, but if that's what floats your boat, go for it. Just be sure to balance it out with some Carlin or Hicks.

I can't stand comedians that steal jokes like Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia.

Bob Saget. His entire act is based on him being a loathsome letch and being as obscene as possible and I'm supposed to be shocked because he was on Full House (as he often reminds us). No thanks.

I second Bob Saget. Just because you played the ultra geeky Danny Tanner doesn't mean I find you funny if you say a few curses.

My dad hates Sandra Bernhard (because shes "ugly" and a lesbian. Although I thought that Eegah resembling her was pretty spot on) and Andrew Dice Clay (because he was snubbed by him, still wearing the 50s juvenile deliquent jacket and puffed American flag sweat pants even in public, at the deli counter of the local super market due to him looking at his 30-years-his-junior girlfriend one second and a half too long). I can't stand entire acts of their stuff, but in small doses, they're funny.

-Dane Cook. Not gonna lie, his BK Lounge thing was kinda funny the first time around, but other than that, I can't stand him. My younger sister has his comedy albums and they do nothing for me. My main pet peeve with him is how he has to repeat the punch line of his joke about 15 times, just in case it didn't register the first 14. He also apparently steals material too.
-Carlos Mencia. The "Mexicans are weird because they do this! Blacks are weird because they do this!" crap is just not funny and really stupid. Why did he get a show on Comedy Central again? That, and like someone else mentioned, he's another material stealer.
-Larry the Cable Guy. For some reason, I can tolerate everyone else on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour when they show it on Comedy Central, but I can't take him. Probably because he takes the hillbilly schtick and turns it up to 11 and putting a "Lord, I apologize..." in there doesn't make his jokes ok.
-Jimmy Fallon. The worst thing to happen to SNL since...I don't know. I always wanted to reach through the tv and strangle him every time he broke down laughing during a sketch, which was EVERY SKETCH HE WAS EVER IN! If you giggle during a sketch you're in once in a while, that's ok, it's how people react. But if you collapse into a fit of giggles everytime you're in a sketch, ARGH!!!!!! That, and he really over did that stupid "You can sing any 80s song to the tune of You Can't Touch This!" which wasn't even funny in the first place. Totally not the guy I would have liked to replace Conan.

Kathy Griffin. Can't stand her. I saw her name in TV Guide and that reminded me of that fact. Just making fun of people who are more famous than you doesn't make you funny. It's just mean-spirited. If you make fun of human traits we're all guilty of, that's one thing; we should all be able to laugh at ourselves and each other once in a while. But when you target individuals, and just say mean stuff, I don't like it. (Joan Rivers did that too - mostly with Liz Taylor - and she's also not funny).

Oh I agree with you on Kathy Griffin! I have never found her funny in anything. She reminds me of an annoying yappy little dog.

I hate Kathy Griffin as well. How she gets a show on Bravo is beyond me. She just semms like a complete and utter bitch, and i wamt to reach into the TV ans yank her offstage.
Ray Romano-Can't stand him
Gallagher The Blue Collar guys are okay, to me, at least though I do agree about Mencia, The guy is a utter dink.
Bob Saget- Hate his act, hated him in Full House.

Little off-topic: Did you ever notice that comedy writers who are normally funny for stand-up stuff really suck at writing for fictional "stand-ups" in movies or TV shows? Like when a movie is based around a comic, like that one some years ago with Tom Hanks and Sally Field, suddenly, nothing they say, or that they have the people they wrote for say, is funny?

But on the other hand I think the Seinfeld show could be funny but I don't care for his stand up act. And the show was really just based on stand up stuff, but I thought it was funnier staged rather than stood up.

See I would never remind someone I was on Full House. I'd try and put that show behind me. But I agree with you just 'cause he played a squeaky clean character doesn't mean that an act dipicting him as an asshole is funny or shocking.

I agree with you, I also think Seinfeld's show was funnier than his particular stand up act.
