For the life of me, I'll never understand why Comedy Central gave Carlos Mencia his own show, and then kept it on the air for four seasons. The guy was little more than a one-trick pony, his 'jokes' were uninspired (and according to some people, ripped off from others), and he just never made me laugh, whether it was on Mind of Mencia or his stand up specials.
Will Farrell is another one. He had his moment back on SNL, but the Semi-Retarded Man-child character that he plays in pretty much every single movie he's starred in needs to be put to rest for good.
How about you all?

I like exactly half of the late night hosts: Conan, Ferguson, and Letterman are all funny to me; Leno's overrated, Kimmel's hit and miss (mostly miss), and I hate hate Fallon.

Bob Saget's funny ONCE, just for the audacity of seeing the dad from Full House letting fly with all kinds of profanity. But after you see him that first time, his act gets stale REALLY fast.
And Lisa Lampinelli. Yes, we get it, you like to f*** black guys. Good for you, now shut up about it.

I don't think I've ever laughed watching Janeane Garofalo.

Dimitri Martin. I dunno if I just don't get him or what, but his jokes always seem...not lazy but minimal, if that makes any sense. I understand he doesn't want to "out-raunch" everyone else but... Jim Gaffigan and Jeff Dunham's shticks have gotten old as can be now. I'm past done with them, especially Dunham (Gaffigan can still spit out a few quoteables from time to time). I like exactly half of the late night hosts: Conan, Ferguson, and Letterman are all funny to me; Leno's overrated, Kimmel's hit and miss (mostly miss), and I hate hate Fallon. I personally would switch that. Love Letterman and Fallon myself. Conan and Ferguson are overrated (Conan has his moments though), Kimmel is (still) hit and miss, and outside of the car collector in him I hate Leno.

Ricky Gervais- He has no comedic timing whatsoever.
Sarah Silverman- Extreme obscenity should only take you so far before you have to tell an actual joke.

Dane Cook is a guy who is a mediocre comedian content wise but he has a phenomenal presentation to his act, and honestly as long as your material is decent if you preform it great you will be a hit. So to me as a guy who watches a lot of stand up I look more so at the meat of the material and the presentation while important can only go so far with me to hide the weaknesses. So while I get how Cook can be entertaining to a lot of people for me he just isn't quite that good (But still decent).
Lisa Lampinelli is also not funny at all I see no redeeming value to her work what so ever.
Carlos Mencia as previously mentioned (Steals jokes and is a giant one note joke)
Jeff Foxworthy and all the Blue Collar TV guys except Ron White aren't funny But that might just be a cultural thing I do like Ron White however.
Whitney Cummings and Shara Silverman (Although Silverman on rare occasion can make me laugh its just too few and far between) and in fact most female comedians aren't very funny (I don't know why I, I can find woman funny but I just haven't found one funny in the realm of stand up comedy).
And finally I do not find Jim Norton or most comedians who rely purely on filth to be very funny. I have heard every curse word there and I have heard most combinations of filth unless you build it in to some sort of joke simply telling me what nasty crap you do to hookers isn't funny.

Nick Swardson, I've never found funny. This goes far before the Bucky Larson fiasco. Jeff Foxworthy and all the Blue Collar TV guys except Ron White aren't funny But that might just be a cultural thing I do like Ron White however. After a certain point, they are seriously going to have to stop calling it "Blue Collar". Like, for instance, when it's almost $300 a ticket for front row seats. Personally, this was all over when Larry shouted out ComCast on the liner notes of one of his albums. Talk about suckling the teat of corporate ass-kissery.

I don't know why, but I misread the title as "Canadians that aren't funny (to you)". I was going to say, "All of them."

There is no such being as Nathan Fillion, only Malcolm Reynolds trying to blend into society under a pseudonym, but he can't fool me!

His name is Castle, he only wrote Malcolm Reynolds as a self insert. And he only became a writer to have something to do when he wasn't on the clock as Captain Hammer.

Andy Samberg, David Cross, Will Ferrell, Dane Cook, Larry The Cable Guy. I pretty much can't stand any of those guys, and don't see how they're "talented".
