In today's world, there are many ways to get entertained, especially when it comes to content consumption. Books, video essays, TV shows, movies, comedy specials there’s something for everyone’s taste. Even within a certain type of content, there are so many choices that everyone can find what they like best. 

Let’s take comedy as an example there are so many comedy specials nowadays it's nearly impossible to count them. So, a conclusion suggests itself – there are many famous comedians out there. Yet, some people would argue that some of them did not deserve to be so popular, and those opinions are what today’s list is made of. So, let’s jump in and see what comedians are lowkey hated by at least some of the netizens, shall we?

More info: Reddit

Two comedians in suits talking during a late-night TV show, featuring city skyline in the background. The 2 people I don't see being commented are James Corden and Jimmy Fallon.

Some of the other people listed here might also be horrible people but Corden and Fallon are just outright horrible comedians for being supremely unfunny.

That was actually how I first heard of him, and yes, he was actually really good in those episodes as Craig. Keep in mind, he was actually the straight man to the 11th Doctor in those episodes, so it wasn't a humorous performance.

Carpool Karoake was funny, as was his impromptu traffic stop musical interruptions. I would not say the worst. It was popular for bit. I think people just slam him now because of his off camera personality.

Corden and Fallon are good singers; when they have sung with their guests, were their better moments. But that's all, they are not funny as hosts.

Wait....Fallon's supposed to be funny? I thought he was just some generic talk show host? Corden has never been funny, he's a rude as*hat personally and professionally, the UK was glad he moved to USA so we could get rid of him. Now USA are fedup with him, ship him to Portugal with Meghan Markle (sorry Portuguese people).

    Johnny Carson was a really big deal and he could make or break a person's career. And it was well known he didn't like women comedians. Sure, he got along with Joan Rivers right up until he thought she did him wrong. So women like Paula Poundstone, Ellen DeGeneres, and Roseanne Barr being given air time on his show was a huge deal that made their careers. It's a shame all three ended in shambles.

    Not unpopular opinion, a lot of people don't like him professionally (no idea how he is off-camera). He's not funny, jokes are repetitive and whiny, he utilizes the Napoleon Syndrome too much and tries to make his personality bigger to compensate, but he comes off irritating and desperate. Like the 5yr old kid at a party who won't stop pulling on the adults' shirt for attention. I don't hate the guy, but a lot of people are sick of him, especially in acting as he plays himself over and over with no variance or talent (we're also sick of Tom Cruise & Chris Pratt for that too).

    Some say that music is a universal language, while others argue that humor is too. Well, maybe not as much as a language, but a common instinct for sure. As this Vox article states, despite not having one common language, no culture is unfamiliar with humor; everyone has an instinct to laugh. 

    Additionally, it is proven that humor and the laughter it causes are beneficial for one’s health. You know, as the saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine” – well, it turns out it’s (at least partially) true, both physically and mentally. 

    With the former, at the most basic level, when laughing, a person exercises their diaphragm, stimulates their lungs, and relieves tension in the muscles. These rather basic actions improve cardiac health, as they increase heart rate and lower blood pressure, which is the same thing that happens during exercise, which as we already know is good for health.

    A comedian speaking into a microphone on a podcast set, wearing headphones and a t-shirt. Honestly? Joe Rogan. Dude has never been a good comedian.

    His biggest 'comedy' moment was calling out a joke thief in Carlos Mencia.

    Universally, every one of Joe's specials has been largely unfunny.

    Laughter also can reduce physical pain, as the release of endorphins produces natural painkillers, improving a person's pain threshold. That’s why some doctors opt to make their patients laugh as often as possible. 

    Also, it improves one’s sleep, boosts immunity, and, as we already mentioned, helps with mental health and social relationships. It does so by reducing stress, improving memory, bringing people together, and simply adding much-needed positivity. 

    So, it’s natural for people to gravitate towards someone that can make them laugh. For example, according to the 2022 Singles in America survey from the online dating service Match, 92% of people seek someone who can make them laugh.

    Comedian performing on stage with a microphone, wearing a suit, under a spotlight. I think Jerry Seinfeld’s standup prowess is vastly overblown due to the success of Seinfeld the sitcom. He’s a decent observational comic, but people treat him like he’s a comedy god because he was funny on TV.


    He’s also not that good at writing scripted comedies. If Unfrosted and Bee movie taught us anything, it’s that Jerry desperately needs Larry David to make him funny.

    I would not include Iliza in this. Does talking about bra straps offend you? Amy is funny sometimes and vulgar is funny sometimes. I don't like all their jokes, but I don't like all men's vulgar jokes either. Ali Wong is much more graphic than Iliza and probably Schumer. It does not mean they aren't funny.

    She's not funny, its 5 year old potty humor, just sex and vulgarity. If that is all you have and rely on your audience being as a mature as my nephew but adults, then you are not funny.

    Being shocking isn't being funny. Many people laugh when they are uncomfortable but after a while, it's not shocking any more. I've seen her be funny, but she relies to much on shock value.

    But this gravitation doesn’t have to be towards personal relationships. People can also crave to be amused by the media they consume, whether it’s a book, a TV show, or a comedy special. 

    The latter usually are hosted by comedians – people whose jobs’ main aim is to make people laugh. Getting their own comedy special is quite an impressive point in nearly every comedian’s career; for many, it shows that they've "made it" as an entertainer. After all, not every open mic participant gets to have one, especially on platforms like Netflix, which currently carries an extensive catalog of them.

    George Lopez is really funny in specials not so much in sitcoms.

    Yet, some people would argue that not all of the comedians deserve the flowers they get. That’s what today’s list is all about. It was formed from opinions various people shared in a dedicated online thread, where they were asked a question “Who is the worst comedian to ever make it big?” 

    From Matt Rife, who got involved in a controversy following his sexist jokes, to James Corden, who people dislike due to his alleged poor behavior off-camera, the list is full of various names. And now you’re left to judge whether they belong here or not by pressing those upvote/downvote buttons! 

    Also, if you have any other names you think belong here, write them in the comments and see whether people agree!
