The stats are compiled from June 2007 to June 2008. The list was released this week.

Not trying to be a nudge, but look at the byline:

List is accurate, hyperlink wasn't. Fixed. These are comedians who do active stand up.

As long as we all agree that Dane Cook is a talentless douche.

Forbes has the most HEINOUSLY user-hostile site. They're so cluttered with flash ads and bullshit that I got totally turned around and lost and awful.

I NEVER understood this dude's appeal until today. I heard this exact bit on Rawdog radio. Oh, how I laughed!

Mike B is way great but his popularity seems to be concentrated in NY, no? LA commenters?
Whereas Tom Papa who is INSANELY funny has no real audience outside of the Laugh Factory on Sunset.
Sad, sad.

Dane Cook, I can tune out. Seinfeld is the anti-Carlin...willfully proud of having nothing to say.

I have heard some great one-ups on the subject of a bag full of dicks. Landfill, dumptruck, sea of, etc...

All of the above! He also has a house there. (818) Sometimes referred to as the GREAT ONE EIGHT

Hmmm... you are knowledgeable. Did you go to El Camino?

If it's 818, I can't relate?
07/18/09
OMG! I did!! Could you tell from my FABULOUS public school grammar?
07/18/09
Oooo DON'T HATE One Eight!
07/19/09
Nah, I could tell from your ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS legerdelangue. ;P
El Camino is the academic decathalon champeen many years running (except last year?) and so I associate it with bright shiny people. Even here on this grey-backed, black-margined blog, and despite your dun-tinted avatar, one can tell you are bright shiny people.

Jeff Dunham I just don't like that much, he's not really funny to me but a very talented performer. I have to give him that. "Larry," on the other hand, is a manipulative audience-hating douchebag with strong vitriol for the people he mocks with his character and act. Guy's a disgrace.

Also, here's a site that listed 5! http://omglists.blogfaction.com/article/100743/top-five-reasons-to-not-like-dane-cook/
But seriously, I would have to agree with you. He kind of rubs me the wrong way, but isn't too offensive.

did appreciate the clip though, pretty good parody.
I welcome anyone else that can give me reasons, maybe some bullet points on why specifically he doesnt deserve the 20large he made this yr. I can think of @ *least* 20 ppl who deserved it less.
