I'm surprised Robin Williams hasn't been mentioned. Mind you, he can still be slightly funny occasionally, live, even though he does all his Mork/gay man/Gandhi on civilisation/erection gags/slightly creepy kid voice/talking very fast unnecessarily, ad nauseam and beyond, decade in and decade out.

...and my dad, he used to say to me when I was a kid when I was naughty, "I'll make you laugh on the other side of your face!" Then he'd slap me. That wasnt funny....not at all
He's massive in America and he's a fucking moron. Panders to beer-chugging fratboys.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
I saw him at the laugh factory and he's kind of a one-trick pony. He spent his whole act talking about sex jokes and watching porn. Really not that funny after the first few jokes, he didn't get the memo that comedians should diversify their material.

Another one that I don't "get"......kind of a one-trick (character) pony in my book.

Any and all Canadians!!! Rick Moranis can eat me but he'd probably want to shrink me first. Edit: Who am I kidding?? I am the secret love child of Rick Moranis and John Candy.

I'll start. Bill Hicks. Why? Too sanctimonious. Too "rock and roll". Too opinionated. Uneven material. And that mullet.
Your turn.
I love me some Bill Hicks. I'll agree to the rock and roll and mullet aspects, but too opinonated?!? No chance. I shall respectfully disagree with you Fins. I'm not sure if we should speak ill of the dead, but Rodney Dangerfield was the king of all hacks if you ask me.

Bernard Manning. He's not rated at all by intelligent or open-minded people but he was massively popular in certain circles in britain for decades. I don't mind when people do racist jokes with a sense of irony, particularly if they are actually funny. Bernard wasn't ironic or funny, he was just a fat racist bastard. how's that for speaking ill of the dead?

Although I find Ron White intriguing, maybe not funny, but the dude supposedly died 8 times and never goes without a drink. (or did he give the stage-drinking up? not sure..)
Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."

He served as a weapon of state during the seventies, making "thick paddy" jokes when the British were at the height of their carnage in Northern Ireland. He had his uses, for a time. The horror of Manning is that for a long time, his was the dominant (if not the admitted, official establishment) view. That's what's so particularly nasty and unpalatable about his legacy. Those people who say "He was a man of his time" should reflect on how dreadful those times were, and apologise not on his behalf, but for ever thinking like him.

I agree. I absolutely despise people who say stuff like "Bernard was sticking up for the poor working class white man. Everything is so politically correct and the country is going to the dogs now". A situation like Ron Atkinson ruining his TV career for calling Marcel Desailly a "nigger", whether he is racist or not, is a small price to pay to achieve a society in which black people don't have to go about accepting the fact that people call them that anymore.
I don't think I ever heard a funny joke pass Manning's fat, jabba the hut lips.
