You're Just Not Funny

The world is filled with unfunny people. You live with them, work for them, you’re probably dating one. But it’s different when they’re sucking on a small scale. It’s when they suddenly get a wild hair up their ass and decide to take their act on the road with dreams in becoming the next Pryor. The sad thing is, it’s usually the people void of any talent that go further than the ones who do.

WBCN’s Toucher and Rich have been getting a lot of notoriety these last few weeks thanks to their The Unfunniest Comic Contest. What started off as an idea of something to do during March Madness has turned into a conversation piece on the nationally syndicated radio show Opie & Anthony and popped up on blogs such as Gawker and Fark .

The Sweet Sixteen consisted of everyone from Larry the Cable Guy to Wanda Sykes and for the last few weeks the pool has been cut down to the final two comedians, Dane Cook and Jimmy Fallon.

Which leads one to to wonder what's worse? To be an overacting joke stealing local boy or a overacting Yankee fan turned Sox fan who hasn't been relevant since he left SNL? They've both made awful movies, attempted to sing and force themselves into pop culture by using their girl appeal to get them behind the velvet rope. So who is going to take the crown? This Bostonist would tend to lean toward Dane Cook, not because she's a Jimmy Fallon fan. But because Fallon conned Mark Ronson into working with him on his 'Bathroom Wall' record, so he must not be that bad. Right?
