Will Farrel is at the bottom of my list. I won't go see any of
his stuff at all. I won't even rent it or be given it to watch.

I don't find him funny, Adam Sandler either. In fact, I haven't found
any SNL comedians funny since Eddie Murphy, but other than the Klump
family segments in the Nutty Professor movie, he hasn't been very
funny since he left SNL.

Adam Sandler can be humorous but I never found his BS routine
funny. When he quits with the goofy talk and acts he's pretty
good.

I never found Eddie Murphy funny either. His hero was Richard
Pryor who I also found not funny. The only thing that Richard
Pryor said I found funny was when Bill Cosby was commenting on
how Eddie Murphys profanity was bad for black America, he told
Eddie Murphy, "Tell Bill to have another Coke and Shut the F... Up".

===================================

Yep. I don't find him all that funny either. But someone clearly does.

Humor is SO subjective. I find Marx Brothers movies to be laugh out loud
hilarious. My wife can't take five minutes of one.

<shrug>

But she also hates Will Farrell even more than I do. Actually "hate" is too
strong...but you must know what I mean.

and yet, strangely, Megamind was pretty good.
I would guess that it depends on how much of the movie was made by and
for the actor, as opposed to a team effort where the artistic director
picks and chooses the appropriate elements to craft the best finished
product. Maybe if you forget this, and accidentally watch the movie
much later, and don't come to realize who it was, you could like it.

Farrel isn't funny, he's not humorous and he can't act. He just
motors his way through parts.

I noticed that Darrell Hannah did Clinton tastefully but funny.
He respected Clinton. That is the mark of a good impressionist.
Farrel showed every distain for Bush he could. He should have
never tried to do that impression. In the end, it was just
Farrel saying stupid things that weren't funny and quite
annoying. He kept trying to cram it down the shows throat until
Michaels said enough, you are out of here.

AS for Megamind, it's a voice over. And I can bet the Director
had a huge hand in it. But I keep coming back to the butcher job
and the total waste of acting powers driveled away in Bewitched.
He had a superb costar and mostly deadpanned his way through
it. He was supposed to be the funny one. He wasn't.

had or have genuine comedic talent.

The Will Ferrells, Bill Murrays, Dan Aykroyds, Dana Carveys, Chevy

appearing on TV must thereby be "funny."

WTF is Eddie Izzard and why does anyone think him funny? I never
thought much of George Carlin, either. He was funny for about 30
secs, then degenerated into being too damn sanctimonious and cynical
for my tastes. Louie CK, Jim Gaffigan, Katt Williams. They should
all be put in a bag and thrown in the river. Demetri Martin should be
hunted down and shot on sight. The same goes for Sarah Silverman. I
haven't a clue what the Hell Dane Cook is doing, but whatever it is,
it's not even remotely funny.

Gaffigan's sitcom about television news was somewhat funny. Welcome to

Carlin's work was nothing short of brilliant. And I've zero in common with
anyone who sees no merit in Louie CK, who along with Chris Rock is one of
the very best comic minds working today. But where you really lost me is
your wholesale dismissal of Eddie Izzard. I'd truly love to hear who you DO

Carlin's humor was like Letterman - too obscure. He had some amusing
takes on situations and on life, but he was never laugh-out-loud
funny. Actually, this will probably kill you, but I like Chris Rock,

The Hippy Dippy Weather Man was laugh-out-loud funny the first time I
saw him do it. Was it on Carson? Could it have been Ed Sullivan? I've
searched YouTube and I can't find the original, only later versions,
none of which have made me laugh aloud. None of which even included the
joke we laughed about and imitated for years: "The forecast for tonight
is...dark...followed in the morning by a period of...light." Are you

heard the Hippy Dippy Weather Man.

I remember seeing him in the pony tail and long sleeved tshirt on Johnny
Carson in the early seventies, I can't remember what year it might have
been.

But I did read his book (one of his books?) and I seem to recall the
change to him being a hippy was quite late in the sixties. I think
whoever said that he started out making fun of them is right, some of the

But I did read his book (one of his books?) and I seem to recall the
change to him being a hippy was quite late in the sixties. I think
whoever said that he started out making fun of them is right, some of the
material really is funny because of that.

Yep, my brother and I cracked up.
Here's the wiki on him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Carlin but it
doesn't say when he first appeared on tv and what show.

You mean like my post did? :\

Somedays there's just too much information to process it...

"Radar has picked up a squadron of Russian ICBMs over Fond du Lac, so
I wouldn't sweat the thundershowers, man."

That's the reason we will never have world peace, or civility in
Internet discussions.
Some people watched that and ROFL. Others looked around painflly as if
asking "THIS, is funny?"
Neither side can understand the other.

I thought it was funny, but I don't think we'll ever have world peace
either.

I'd prefer to focus on Carlin's genius which recognized that Fond du
Lac is inherently funny, but Austin or Portland wouldn't have been.

Carlin's humor was like Letterman - too obscure. He had some amusing
takes on situations and on life, but he was never laugh-out-loud
funny.

The Hippy Dippy Weather Man was laugh-out-loud funny the first time I
saw him do it. Was it on Carson? Could it have been Ed Sullivan? I've
searched YouTube and I can't find the original, only later versions,
none of which have made me laugh aloud. None of which even included the
joke we laughed about and imitated for years: "The forecast for tonight
is...dark...followed in the morning by a period of...light." Are you
laughing? Me neither, but I sure did laugh out loud the first time I
heard the Hippy Dippy Weather Man.

I missed Bill's post, so am tagging on Steve's....

I think it was Ed Sullivan, Carson wasn't doing the tonight show when
Carlin first started showing up on TV. I remember it looking like
Sullivan's stage.

Carlin appeared on Carson before he appeared on Sullivan; and it looks
like Carson was doing the tonight show years before Carlin started doing
television at all.

watch Carson at the time of Carlin's first appearance. Thought he took

Sullivan.

Okay, that's probably right. I usually didn't stay up late enough to
watch Carson at the time of Carlin's first appearance. Thought he took
over the show later than that too. So I must have first seen Carlin on
Sullivan.

Carson did the tonight show from 1962 to 1992 when creepazoid Jay Leno
forced him out.

As I wrote, Carson retired after thirty years. Kushnick propelled
Leno to the vacant spot over Letterman. She had nothing to do with
Carson's decision to retire. Get your facts straight.

The woman was cursed, too. She died in 1996 after a nine-year battle
with breast cancer, she had lost almost everything: her son, Sam, who
died of an HIV-tainted blood transfusion in 1983 when he was 3; her
husband, who died of cancer in 1989. She was fired as executive
producer four months after Leno took over the Tonight Show.

making the pot seeter for him. Nobody could replace Carson.

I am the Mighty Favog

It's a well known fact Jay Leno was a major power broker in Hollywood
even back then. The whole "Johnny wants to retire and Letterman should
be his successor but Leno underhandedly stole the job from him" was
just a clever ploy by Leno to cover up the fact he forced Carson out.

Much better to be known as the deceitful manipulative asshole that
stole the show from Dave than the deceitful manipulative asshole that
stole the show from Johnny.

Don't ya' know?

Better add "I'm kidding" I guess. Just in case it isn't obvious enough.

Carlin's humor was like Letterman - too obscure. He had some amusing
takes on situations and on life, but he was never laugh-out-loud
funny.

The Hippy Dippy Weather Man was laugh-out-loud funny the first time I
saw him do it. Was it on Carson? Could it have been Ed Sullivan? I've
searched YouTube and I can't find the original, only later versions,
none of which have made me laugh aloud. None of which even included the
joke we laughed about and imitated for years: "The forecast for tonight
is...dark...followed in the morning by a period of...light." Are you
laughing? Me neither, but I sure did laugh out loud the first time I
heard the Hippy Dippy Weather Man.

I remember George Carlin in his early years very well. He was
straight-cut and very funny. "Thursday night variet show" popped into
my mind, but that would be Dean Martin. I can find no record of him
being on the show.

He was a semi-regular, too, and what comes up is Kraft Music Hall,
which was a summer replacement for The Andy Williams Show in 1966.

Also, I think he was on The Smothers Brothers fairly often. That
would have been around 1968.

What do you have against weed? Do you not drink as well?

I guess you don't get it. This is the first year I haven't renewed my
MM precription. I'm wary about screwing up my lungs at my age,
although I know there are alternative ways of THC delivery. But if
it's around, I use it.

Carlin looked like a square when he first started. Suit, tie, short,
well-groomed hair, and when he imitated a stoned weatherman, it was
funny in my opinion. It worked.

When he started dressing like a hippy, let his hair grow long, beard,
almost scruffy looking, the stoned act stopped working (for me). I
stopped finding his humor funny, that's all.

WTF is Eddie Izzard and why does anyone think him funny?

I was surprised when he appeared in "Valkyrie" (2008) playing the part
of General Erich Fellgiebel, a communications officer. He did a
pretty good job, too.

Putting aside all his transvestite crap, he is not bad at acting.

I don't even think of him as a comedian. He was great in the series about
the gypsies that moved into empty rich people's houses and took over their
identities, "The Riches".

WTF is Eddie Izzard and why does anyone think him funny? I never
thought much of George Carlin, either. He was funny for about 30
secs, then degenerated into being too damn sanctimonious and cynical
for my tastes. Louie CK, Jim Gaffigan, Katt Williams. They should
all be put in a bag and thrown in the river. Demetri Martin should be
hunted down and shot on sight. The same goes for Sarah Silverman. I
haven't a clue what the Hell Dane Cook is doing, but whatever it is,
it's not even remotely funny.

Lotta comedians. Bill Burr, Nick DePaoli, Lewis Black, Gilbert
Gottfried, Craig Ferguson, Jeffry Ross, Patton Oswald, John Oliver,
Dave Attel, Patrice O'Neal, Rick Vos, Al Madrigal, Tammy Pescatelli,
Ricky Smiley, John Caparulo..... and too many more to mention.

I jes find it ironic that all the comedians Netflix has available for
streaming, with about half dozen exceptions, are jes not funny. I
like all the Comedy Central Roasts. Most of the regulars are pretty
funny. Heck, I even like all those red-neck comedians on the Blue
Collar Tour. But, somehow, Netflix seems to have gathered all the
comedians I don't like expressly for streaming. And what is it with
Mexican comedians? Al Madrigal is the only one I like. All the well
known names like Mencia are jes plain stupid.
