Top 14+ Comedians the Internet Says Just Aren’t Funny

Comedy is supposed to bring people together. But every so often, a punchline lands like a brick. According to the internet, some comedians redefine the mark instead of missing it. These are the names that keep showing up in threads where people vent about who makes them cringe instead of chuckle.

Amy Schumer

Her name sparks immediate division. While she once rose quickly as a bold, unfiltered voice, many now feel her humor leans too heavily on shock value and recycled sex jokes. Critics say the raunchiness drowns out any cleverness, and what once felt edgy now feels tired. To them, her stand-up leaves more eye-rolls than laughs.

Brendan Schaub

Former fighter, now stand-up hopeful, but audiences say the transition hasn’t exactly been a knockout. Viewers describe his delivery as stiff, his punchlines as flat, and his timing just off. There’s sympathy in the comments, sure, but also frustration. They want him to succeed; but not at the cost of good comedy.

Lilly Singh

She was once the golden girl of YouTube, but fans turned critics say her jump to mainstream comedy missed the magic. Her material feels safe, her sketches overly scripted, and the delivery forced. Even supporters admit her best work was early on, when she was relatable without trying so hard to be. Now, many claim she’s lost her comedic voice.

Carlos Mencia

The plagiarism accusations never quite faded, and neither did the backlash. His reputation took a hit after other comics publicly called him out for stealing jokes, and many haven’t forgiven him since. Even beyond the controversy, viewers say his comedy lacks depth and often punches down. What once passed as edgy now feels uncomfortable.

Jimmy Fallon

Known for giggles and celebrity games, Fallon’s charm doesn’t work for everyone. His constant breaking character during skits and over-the-top laugh at everything; even his own jokes has become a turn-off. Some fans of late-night TV call him the weakest link in a lineup that’s grown increasingly polarizing.

Ellen DeGeneres

Once adored for her quirky, upbeat humor, Ellen has lost some of her glow. Viewers say her comedy feels outdated, her pranks mean-spirited, and her once-iconic charm now feels insincere. The behind-the-scenes reports of a toxic workplace didn’t help. Many say it changed how they hear her jokes; less playful, more performative.

Jay Leno

He’s a late-night legend, but some argue his comedy style never really evolved. Safe, predictable, and reliant on easy targets, his material often felt like background noise. While no one denies his work ethic, plenty feel his era of humor should’ve ended when his talk show did.

Jimmy Kimmel

For some, the political edge he added to his comedy over the years dulled the humor. They say what once felt fresh now feels like a lecture in a suit. Kimmel still has his fans, but a growing number say they tune out when the jokes start sounding like campaign ads.

Joe Rogan

Podcast king, MMA commentator, comedy… not so much. Rogan’s fans may swear by his long-form convos, but his stand-up sets often fail to land with general audiences. His material feels scattered, some say, or too reliant on controversy to really connect. They’d rather hear him talk than try to make them laugh.

Dan Nainan

Forum users don’t hold back on this one. From stiff delivery to accusations of editing fake audience laughter into his clips, the reviews are brutal. Once an engineer, now a comedian, Nainan’s routines are called painfully rehearsed and devoid of any actual humor. Many seem more confused than amused.

James Corden

Carpool Karaoke made him a household name, but many feel the charm wore off fast. His musical skits and exaggerated reactions leave people exhausted rather than entertained. Some say his humor feels more like a performance for toddlers than a sharp late-night crowd. He’s trying too hard, and it shows.

Larry the Cable Guy

His entire act is a character, but audiences are split on whether it’s satire or stereotype. Many say the redneck humor feels stale and sometimes offensive, especially when paired with the reality that the man behind the accent is a millionaire in a baseball cap. Viewers argue he plays down to the audience instead of bringing them up.

Pete Davidson

The SNL alum built a fanbase fast, but critics say his deadpan delivery and confessional style wear thin. His comedy can feel like therapy on stage; raw, yes, but not always funny. Some appreciate the vulnerability, while others just feel like they’re watching someone unload instead of entertain.

Whitney Cummings

Some praise her boldness, but others find her humor grating and overly self-referential. They say she circles the same topics too often and sacrifices punchlines for edgy one-liners. Even fans admit she hits or misses depending on the night. For critics, though, the misses are starting to outweigh the rest.
