These funny people aren't funny.

Some of these might be gone from the spotlight, while others are still just going around... those people that are shown as "funny" but just.... aren't.

Let's talk about the unfunny!

Tracy Morgan... sometimes he works on 30'rock. On anything else? No.

Adam Sandler... never worked.

i think i can add pretty much half the SNL group in this too

Oh, man, there's a million of these people. Will Ferrel is never funny, for instance. Chris Tucker was never funny. That movie Superbad wasn't funny. I just equate everyone in that movie together as not being funny since the movie just wasn't funny, why did everyone think that movie was funny? I didn't chuckle once.

Actually, one question: are we talking about people who aren't funny as in they are actual comedians who aren't funny, or the movies they are in may have lots of funny jokes and situations but as far as the actual star he or she isn't actually funny? Cause I think Adam Sandler has been in funny movies but Adam Sandler himself is probably not the reason...kind of hard to differentiate, I guess...

EDIT: Ben Stiller is also not funny. Wes Anderson's movies are not funny.

Not necessarily. If Will Ferrel is in the whole movie, he's never funny, just annoying. If he's in it for a couple of minutes, he can be pretty funny.

Also the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches on SNL way back when were hilarious. Maybe he should play the straight man more often.

I just think Will tries too hard, that's all. Its almost like he demands you laugh at his jokes, and doesn't just let them be funny on their own. I think Tracy Morgan is nearing that level too.

I may have seen 12 Ounce Mouse with the wrong mindset. TBH, I don't care. I've seen every episode at least twice because Adult Swim needs better programming and everyone knows it. It's what time when it came on? I'm about to go to sleep, I don't care what it's aiming for. It's on a block of funny shows, such as The Boondocks and Robot Chicken. Sure, they require some thought but I never drew parallels to stuff I never heard of. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I say it sucks and I'm glad it's off the air. They need to bring Stroker & Hoop back.

Only when he has to use his own or other people's material.

Edit: Actually, Magus, Superbad was funny. Might want to edit your post now that you'd got some correct info.
