Why don't I find comedians funny?

You must be a more discerning person than the other 98 percent of the population.  Congratulations.\n\nToday's comedian's are not very funny because they haven't the kind of experience it takes to be funny.  They are copying others and resorting to crudity rather than wit and cleverness.  Most of today's comedians rely on popular images, anything sexual being the favorite, and are lost to dealing with style and wit.  I won't give examples.  I don't think I need to.  Look at many of the answers here and you'll see that few, if any, has addressed your question.  Instead, most have simply given you examples which is lack of thinking, reasoning.  This also is what is missing from today's comedians' supposed comedy.

I think a guy is funny when he's just himself and he makes me laugh when he's not trying to be funny. He's just naturally funny in everyday conversations. Just be yourself. Tastes in humor are relative.

Yes and no. For instance, I can actually laugh at SOME of my parents jokes, but I understand ALL of them. Some just aren't funny to me. Conversely, they rarely are amused with jokes that I find absolutely hilarious. Mainly, it's based on society. Things change in a generation. Still, as shown with my case, many things found funny decades ago continue to bring laughter today. =)

He is not a real comedian anyway. When comedians are doing standup do you think that everyone in the audience is going to like their show.? No. So someone said he wasn't funny. BOO HOO.  A real comedian would have come back with a statement that was funny not hurtful.

Someone has to have a good sense of humor. They can't be all serious all the time. You should be able to do alot of fun things together and not have to be serious. It would be boring if someone didn't have some sense of humor, so yea it means something to me.

Well I'm personally very against political correctness at the level it has spiralled to. We must distinguish between statements made in humour, and statements made in order to offend. But I also cringe when I think that some people actually find some of the comedian's material that exploits others disability, sexuality etc funny. Whats going on? A little class is needed. And where do we find it? Bill Bailey. Ironic, when you look at him.

Do you have iTunes on your PC?  This is the only other source I can think of that actually (ocassionally) plays stand up comedy.  Also, you can find some amusing program to listen to from the PODCAST category.  Check it out and good luck.

All people have different senses of humor. Some people might be completely hysterical over one thing while others don't even find it mildly amusing. Your sense of humor is an individual thing. What you laugh at or find amusing is going to depend on how you were raised, you personality, and the people you're around.\n\nIf you are blessed to be around women that have a strong sense of humor, you're very lucky. In my opinion, women tend to take themselves too seriously and don't laugh half as much as they should. Laughter is good for the soul.

If what you were laughing at was not intended to be funny, then I would assume you were either a retard, or not listening to what I was saying. Although, I believe it may be rather annoying to date a hiena.

It shows you have a quick wit and good sense of humor and timing.  These are all necessary for a stand-up.  \n\nYour ability to make funny remarks about what people are saying would come in handy in those times when you talk with your audience (or are being heckled).\n\nWhat makes a stand-up good, however, is material.  You've got to be a good writer, too, as well as a strong unique personality.  \n\nTry writing 5 minutes of material, and go try it an an open mike.  If it doesn't work, figure out why, rewrite it, try it out again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  OK, that works, now make it ten minutes.  \n\nA comedian needs a good, solid twenty minutes of material to even start work.  It's hard to do, and it takes practice practice practice--and a really thick skin.  Some people aren't going to think you're funny.  \n\nThere's some great comedy writing classes/books around.  \n\nI'd also recommend some narrative-based improv work, so you get an idea of a "story arc", how reincorporation ("callback") works.  \n\nAnd decide what kind of voice you're going to speak in.  Are you a storyteller, a la Richard Pryor?  A joke teller, a la Stephen Wright?  A bad joke teller, a la most of the standups out there?\n\nDo some research, try it out, and good luck!
