[Pidgeon]

I really like John C. Reilly, but he doesn't belong anywhere near that list.

[Keith Whitener]

I would say that it's not so much the case that any of these are funny as much as some people think they are funny and others do not.

Thanks for transcribing that list.  It was so funny and fast!  I got lost half way through and couldn't catch up!

[Sashamak]

Putting Edgar Wright on the list and not Simon Pegg is very odd.

[effecT]

AC you are the best. I'm too dumb to be near a computer when i listen to TBSOWFMU.

[Ojingeo]

Thank you for this transcription!

[Chris L]

The Anderson Cooper thing is bizarre, but overall that list isn't as egregious as I thought it would be.

[Hugman 3.0]

I think John C Reilly is one of the funniest people there is.

[coogerdark]

What's with the "What!" for Michael Ian Black?  Maybe he's not everyone's favorite, but at least he's, you know, a comedian who actually does comedy.

[Rick in Salt Lake]

Thank God Jack Black is not on that list...

[senorcorazon]

Thank you for this transcription!

Yes! Anything that can help that garbage heap of a site not get clicks is welcomed.

I love Aziz, but if we're going by ranking Louis CK has to be up top after last year. FI-YAH. Loved the Sedaris response. Anderson Cooper is only on there because it's funny that people think he does "journalism".

Also, perhaps the dramatic roles that Todd Barry has undertaken recently has blinded people to how funny he is?

[gravy boat]

Anderson Cooper is only on there because it's funny that people think he does "journalism".

Nice one.

I love the original Stella videos. Especially Raking Leaves.

Me too. All those early Stella shorts are hilarious to me.
