Does anyone think no comedians are funny?

[BBSSchlemiel]

Or dislike comedians generally?

[Skylge]

I like Bill Burr and Jim Jefferies     

[Kwon3]

I've never laughed at any of the standup comedians out there today, whether it's Dane Cook or Louis C.K. or Cedric the Entertainer. It's always based on identity politics with black comedians or half-baked sarcasm about menstrual cycles with women.

Libs essentially killed comedy. No one can do anything remotely risky for fear of offending someone. Comedians to play colleges first get a laundry list from the University regarding topics that they can’t broach.

Norm Macdonald is hilarious.  Patrice O'Neal (RIP).  Bill Burr.  Gilbert Gottfried.  Artie Lange.  Dice.

I love all these guys.

[SuperTed]

I find some comedians moderately funny, but I can't think of any who I would consider "hilarious".

I normally put this down to myself being someone who isn't easily amused, but it could just be that most comedians are crap.

[MAXX]

I just don't enjoy the concept of stand up much at all. It's just too cringy when they suck which is 90% of the time.

Jim Breuer is good.

You sound depressed.

Far left comedians hardly even tell jokes anymore.  It's all just political lectures and telling their sob stories like they are competing in the victim Olympics.

Rodney Dangerfield was funny

True.  Case in point:  Sarah Silverman's latest show on hulu.  It's not comedy.  It's liberal indoctrination, with canned laughs thrown in at strategic points.  There's nothing remotely funny about it.

Try to imagine how miserable Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel must have been, behind closed doors.  No wonder they couldn't stand each other.

Some of the older guys - Patrice, Dice, Vos, etc.... were and are good.

The really good comedy isn't coming out of stand up shows anymore (at least white ones, the black circuit is a bit better), people are too worried about losing the lucrative college shows, or outraging Twitter or angering Netflix. Podcasts are where some good stuff can be found, Legions of Skanks, select members of Rogan's crew, etc.....

This is an actual article in a major online magazine - http://www.vulture.com/2018/09/post-comedy-how-funny-does-comedy-need-to-be.html .

Comedy isn't going to be fixed for a while.

I’ve always wondered how Joe Rogan is a stand-up comedian. I enjoy his podcast, but he never actually says anything funny. He just gets good guests and is a decent conversationalist.

[OneMoreRep]

I've always been a fan of the giants (Pryor, Carlin, Murphy etc), but as of the last 5 years, I've taken a great liking to guys like Bryan Callen, Chris D'Elia, Ari Shaffir and Theo Von.

I don't think Rogan is funny either, but in the beginning he attached himself to funny people, and had that UFC and NBC buzz. He was also good at setting up tours, and that grew as the podcast grew. Now 20 years in, I think part of his draw isn't his comedy, but that by going to  his shows you might get drawn further into the Rogansphere, where if you go there might be a chance to see him afterward and smoke up, or talk UFC, or just have something to post on Instagram.

I hate so-called "confessional" comedy.  Unfunny and douchey.  Holy shit, have you ever tried to sit through a set from Tig Notaro?  Fucking awful.  

Some of these people I wonder if they are purposefully trying to repel the audience.  It's like they are are trying to be Andy Kaufman but they are doing it wrong.

Nailed it!

Love his podcasts and he seems like an awesome dude, but I've never laughed at a single joke of his done on stage. I have laughed many times at jokes/stories he has made on his podcasts, but those weren't planned.

He seems like he would be the coolest guy to hang with, hence why I think so many comedians love him like an older brother.

Most female comedians are shit.
