Anybody watching her special tonight on TBS? Where she does her bad, unfunny standup and then for some reason, has acts on there. So its kind of like America's Got Talent...only, its got Ellen in between the skits to make things even more unbearable...

THANK YOU!
Everyone thinks she is one of the funniest people in the world. I really don't get it. She is awful. A void of all that is funny. A black hole of comedy. Don't even get me started on her stupid "KahKahKaaah" thing and her stupid dancing. I feel like Frank Grimes whenever my sister or mom puts her talk show on.

Shhhhh!!! Don't say things like that out loud guys. You can't say that you don't like Ellen or don't find her funny or else that makes you a homophobe. I've seriously had this argument with people before. I just don't think she is funny. It has nothing to do with anything else about her. Her material doesn't make me laugh. How that equates to homophobia is beyond me but that's what I've been told.

I think she is hilarious. I've found that most people that rag on comedians have never really even seen one of their specials. Not saying you guys haven't but yeah. I think of her as the female version of Jerry Seinfeild. Comedians don't usually have that type of longevity like she has.

I've always liked Ellen, but to each their own

She has a fun personality, but the things she says aren't really funny.

Shes basically doing Bob Newhart's gimmick 30 years later.

Basically, based on what she did, she never has to be funny again. She will still do "comedy" but no matter how bad it is, she will be cheered.

She seems like she'd be cool to hang around with, and a nice person, but I've never actually laughed at anything she's ever said.
She's like the John Cena of comedy.

Haha, thats a pretty good analogy for how I feel about her. She does seem like a nice person, but her hurt pains me beyond no end if I'm subjected to it.

I don't think you're a homophobe if you don't think she's funny. Sure she makes jokes about being gay, but that doesn't mean you're a bigot.
Personally, I think she's pretty funny. She's one of the rare females that doesn't rely on "hey I'm a slut" or "Hey, when I PMS I'm a bitch" or "Men a retarded apes" to get laughs.

What little I've seen of her as a talk show host, I think she's a very natural interviewer. If it weren't for the quirk-on-quirk combo that would be unleashed, she would have been an interesting option for NBC to have placed in the time slot currently held by Jimmy Fallon. Maybe have her introduce a stand-up comedian guest to open each show with a short set in place of the traditional monologue. Then do a host-only segment (pre-produced, or in-studio gimmick), then have a guest or two/guest and musical guest.

i hate that noise thing she does to quiet down her audience, i dont find her funny but then again i dont find any american comedy is funny unless its something like south park. after saying that though she does seem like a genuine nice person and as someone else said shes good at interviewing

I don't care for Chris Rock does that mean I'm racist too?

I think her coming out and being openly gay has had a hugely positive impact and will be pointed to in the future as a key moment and turning point in the struggle for human equality.
But she's not funny.
