Default Which of these are not funny?

Compilation of some contemporary comedians that are in that some would argue are not funny. You can pick more than one, or specify your own. I'm sure I missed some clowns.

Pole Coming. Wait.

Voted on those that A) I know, don't think they're funny, or B) I don't know but I have heard people I respect diss them as not funny; yeah, it's a judgment call. Jack Black, Courtney Cox, I wouldn't really call comedians - do either do standup? Or even act primarily in comedies? I think of CC as a sitcom actor, which is very different from most of the rest of the list.

^ I included Courtney and Arnett for currently running sitcoms but probably should have excluded both. Jack Black has in the past positioned himself as a comedian.

Jack Black's "Tenacious D" work is some of the funniest stuff you will find. So he is in.

I like Silverman's stand up.

Will Arnett was on Arrested Development.

I know what I am getting with Sandler at least until 2000.

And I like Dane Cook
