I think Daryl Somers would have to be a front runner for the number one spot.

Why am I on this list? I've got a hell of a sense of humor! Or is it I'm one of the least funny LOOKING people in America? I'm confused. Doug

@I'm Waitin' for Dolemite: And they're considered a delicacy in some parts of the globe -- which, in itself, is also quite funny.

"While it does renew my faith in humans to see Dane Cook on this list, it makes the Baby Jesus cry not to see Carlos Mencia and Chelsea Handler."
Are you sure Carlos Mencia and Chelsea Handler mean to be funny?

I do agree that George Michael is a much, much better singer than he is a comedian.
Except for last night on "Idol" where his cold made him praying for Nyquil.

dluvvly: Jay Mohr is a winner of all-time least funny in my book. Of course, he cut in line in front of me at 24 Hour Fitness, so I'm biased.

Any list that includes ELLEN DEGENERES as being funny should automatically be disregarded.

JACK BLACK! A cocked eyebrow and manic energy - he's the 'love me' guy at a party who's in tears at the end of the night

I'm glad I don't recognize most of the unfunny names.
Totally agree with Jay Leno, but two are definitely missing: Sarah Silverman (vagina jokes -- yeah, hilarious). And that idiot with the redneck jokes -- Jeff Foxworthy.

I love when Amercians misuse phrases they're not familiar with and fail very miserably. To wit, EW describing Ricky Gervais as: 'as funny as the dog's bollocks'. Classic.

Least funny: Put me down for Ben Stiller, Bob Saget, Steve Carrell, Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell (who somehow keeps getting away with doing the same movie over and over again), Michael Richards, Garry Marshall, Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, Jason Lee, Larry David, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch (sorry, aren't they the same person?), Jay Mohr...

Wow. The weird thing is, I think a large chunk of the "Funniest" list belongs on the "Least Funniest" list. How is that possible? Am I THAT far removed from the collective perspective?

The funny thing is I know every single person on this list.
Except Dane Cook. He's just a douchebag.

Wasn't SNL enough proof? Must we actually witness Jimmy Fallon destroying Late Night before you put him on the least funny list?

Karrie Burge looks like the kind of chick who'd be pretty funny (though inappropriately so) once you get a few drinks into her.
@Seth: I want to know, but at the same time I don't, how long it took you to put this list together.

Seth, Yvonnjanae is a woman. Hence she loves Craig. Craig Ferguson--No. 1 on the Sexiest Funny People in America list. Wait. He may be the only person on that list.

OK, Now I feel really lame after clicking on the names I didn't recognize and found they were random people.
On the other hand, it seems like you could have easily found 25 extremely unfunny people currently working in Hollywood. Will Ferrell, anyone?

I never found Dane Cook funny before, but I found he works and appeals to people because he just gives every day scenarios. Everybody can relate to a scenario he gives and than he plays off it. He appeals to the college crowd.
Diablo Cody, man do I hate her. She shouldn't be anywhere on that list.

@yvonnjanae: Wait--are you talking about the Funniest or Least Funny list?

The list is hideously flawed by the fact that Craig Ferguson isn't in the Top Ten!

Oh and I commend you on a lovely list..it's so hard to find the unfunniest when you have a slew of 'male head of the family' sitcoms to ignore.

On a top 25 list Dave Chappelle shouldn't be within the first few clicks..or anywhere behind Diablo Cody. That's just horrendous.

The picture of DIABLO CODY looks like she is about to pull an "Exorcist" and do a full on head spin.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least . . .

Wow! That EW list made me feel anger. Sarah Silverman? The funniest person in America is the "Judd Apatow Posse"!? No, no, no, no, no.
I need to learn to care less about this stuff.

Dane Cook made it! So did Don Cooke.
Larry the Cable Guy is very not funny, but these are America's Not Funniest! Not everyone made the grade.
