Entertainment / Larry the Cable Guy Hollywood's Least Funny Comics These guys get no respect, and they deserve it By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff Posted Nov 16, 2009 1:40 PM CST Copied An actual joke from Mr. The Cable Guy: "I had my girl put on crotchless britches one time. She was like, 'Want some of this right here?' I go, 'No, look what it did to your underbritches over there.'" (AP Photo/Dan Steinberg) You rarely see Carrot Top or Gallagher anymore, but showbiz is still full of guys who just aren’t funny. Sarah Bell of Newsweek points out the worthiest tomato targets: Larry the Cable Guy: A really, really poor man’s Jeff Foxworthy, minus any actual jokes. Carlos Mencia: Makes a living mocking mentally handicapped people and “beaners.” Dave Chappelle, he ain’t. Howie Mandel: Probably funny once, “but it’s hard to preserve your comedic edge when your day job is pretending to use a stupid prop telephone to call a silhouette.” Dane Cook: He’s spread himself too thin and now seems “more intent on coining fratty catchphrases than honing his talent.” Jay Leno: He’s charming, and he’s nice, but his show is “profoundly unfunny.” Sometimes we charity laugh, though. “We have to—it’s Uncle Jay.” Jeff Dunham: Sorry, ventriloquism peaked sometime during the Eisenhower administration.
