5. Oh, yes. Jay Leno. The very antithesis of comedy.
That guy couldn't be original if his life depended on it. His whole schtick is insult and sexual innuendo. Big freakin' L, and it doesn't stand for "Leno."

7. You can't hear Leno's jokes
because of the giant sucking sound that follows him around.

12. Leno
Is the last remaining vestige of the "Sinatra/Rat Pack" days of comedy. It's sad....really sad.

his material and style still belong to the '5-s

4. Dennis Miller has redefined the word "comedy" for me.
And it wasn't after he fell in love with George W. Bush.

I've never, once, found Miller funny. Not on SNL, not on his HBO show. CERTAINLY not on his current show.

8. big yes on Sandler
What a moron. Really can't stand his movies (though I've not seen the latest one he's in, which actually looks like it might be funny and smart)

10. Only movie with Sandler in it I can stand
was Mixed Nuts. He played a very minor character that was unable to severly damage the movie.

19. I'll Go With Him, Too
Unfunny.

The rest of my "i don't get the funny part" list:
Billy Crystal
Jay Leno
Jim Carrey
Lucille Ball
Drew Carey

These people are on the list because i NEVER got why other people found them funny. Therefore, Dennis Miller is exempt because he used to be funny before he became a nancyboy coward who needed Bush to protect him and his precious family.

15. Georgie's a comedian? That explains a lot...
Ralphie May & Wanda Sykes, - for certain I agree with. Adam Sandler absolutely sucks. Adam Sandler is the cosmic Hoover of comedy.

I'd have to add Dennis Miller and add that I used to think Dennis was funny, but the sense of betrayal over his political blathering has so adversely affected my opinion of him that he might actually make it to the level of 'universe-crushing black hole' of comedy.

21. He thinks he's a comedian
Much like people sending emails think they are computer experts.

Dennis Miller is a fine example of a big talking Dem turning into a gutless coward, and cashing in during the process.

11. Jesters of the Wicked
Dennis Miller is a vainglorious a*hole.

I wonder how many of these idiots will end up with ruined careers. We'll have to invent a "syndrome" to describe it. I suggest we call it the "Riefenstahl Syndrome."

16. What exactly did
Colin Quinn do to rate his own show on Comedy Central? This is a huge mystery to me. He has no discernable talent except to spout faux macho rants incoherently. I join the millions of other Daily Show viewers who risk injury every night to get the channel changed before his blank face appears to stumble through his graceless, humorless monologue. Please explain his appeal to me. Is it like the dog whistles and only similarly dim bulbs can pickup his scent?

18. At least Dennis Miller knows he is choking
Quinn just has no timing, no rythm, and no funny. And he doesn't even realize it. Eesh.

20. OK. I fold
You had me at Jim Breuer.

Denis Leary is another Quinn Mystery. Maybe the real power in Hollywood is not our Jewish friends but people of Celtic ancestory. That would help explain the unexplainable careers of Quinn, Leary, O'Reilly, and Mel Gibson. No wit. No intelligence. No insight. No style. And not eye candy.
Are leprechauns now in charge of the entertainment industry?
