I think people are perhaps a little too critical on some of the comics they said they hate here. But instead of going on and on about that, here's Eddie talking about Daleks.
Comedians: Old, New & Shit

Comedians I like:
Donald Glover (Derrick Comedy shows you how to appreciate him)
Steven Wright
Patton Oswalt
Miss:
Bernie Mac
George Carlin (Finding all his stuff on Netflix, it's a blast)
Sam Kinison
(Honorable Mentions for Comedic Actors: Chris Farley and Phil Hartman)
Shite:
Aziz Ansari (News Flash: reciting everything people do really loudly and expounding on stories of Famous People does not equal comedy, it shows you paid a lot of attention)
Nick Swardson (I find myself paying more attention to how many times he says "like" (hint: a lot!) then his "comedy", which doesn't amount to remembering his "Who farted?" sketch that people can repeat with familiarity)
I can't think of another comedian I don't like, there are many, but none I can recall.

I don't think he's dead? If you're right then this is a horrible way for me to find out.Patrick Buck said:
When I say I hate a comedian I generally just mean that if they are on the telly I will change the channel.FalloutJack said:
Except for Andy Parsons. I actually scream at the telly whenever he opens his stupid mouth; he makes me so angry it's unreal.
I'm afraid I don't even know him. I suppose I can understand, though. Some people are Bob Dylan bad.rob_simple said:

If you've ever watched an episode of Mock the Week then you'd know who he was (unless you don't live in Britain; I don't know if it's broadcast abroad.)FalloutJack said:
Essentially, he's one of those awful comedians who spends forever setting up a punchline that is absolutely never worth it, but his fans lap up his comedy because of the fact.
I will hate him until such times as I get my money back for Good Luck Chuck.Mysterious Username said:
Love:
Bill Cosby
Ryan Stiles
Wayne Brady
Brad Sherwood
Colin Mocharie
The entire Monty Python Crew (except Terry Gilham because he doesn't really count as a comedian. He's an animator)
Andrew Sachs
Rowan Atikinson
Stephen Fry
Jeff Dunham
Dylan Moran
Tim Brooke-Taylor
Graeme Garden
Bill Oddie
Tim Minchin
The Umbilical brothers
Frank Woodley
Carl Baron
Ok I'll stop now. But I have more
Miss:
Graham Chapman
Dave Allen
Peter Sellers
Spike Milligan
Harry Secombe
Hate:
I can't think of anyone of the top of my head. I find most comedians today don't have very funny acts. Personally I'm more a fan of skit comedy (e.g. Rowan Atkinson, Monty Python etc.) than stand up. Oh well.

Well, that's a funny thing. I have seen Mock The Week, though I don't live in Britain. The problem there is that generally I think of it in terms of Dara O'Briain, That Guy, This Guy, The Other Guy, and The Last One. I can't make the rest of the comedic cast stick, sorry.rob_simple said:
Is she Englsih? It could be Shappi Khorsandi.Jonluw said:
Love(Three is not enough):
Omid Djalili(Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet.)
Frankie Boyle
Dara O'Brien
Rich Hall
Rhys Darby
Stephen Merchant(Who the fuck is Ricky Gervais?)
Russel Howard
Jack Dee
Jimmy Carr
Hugh Laurie
David Mitchell & Robert Webb
Miss:
Richard Pryor
Hate:
I'm sure there are a few that I've not heard of which would be on here.
I absolutely detest Omad Djalili purely because his whole bit about speaking in a foreign accent then saying he is from London is racist, and then he went and made a whole series of adverts that went against the point he argued.Total LOLige said:
So if I start saying incredibly stereotypical shit in a South African accent despite me being from a completely different country that's okay because I look like I conceivably could be from there?Total LOLige said:
It's not racist to joke about stereotypes. It could possibly offend some people but more often than not I bet they're(person from the nation that is being joked about) laughing.rob_simple said:
Hmmm, I take a more open stance to comedy. I have favorites, but I try to avoid saying I think any comedian isn't funny. Even Dane Cook, I mean, I don't like him, but he has fans, and he makes those fans laugh... what's wrong with that?
Anyway, Love:
Jon Stewart
Steven Colbert
Daniel Tosh (I have more than these three, but they're my top three at the moment)
Miss:
Greg Giraldo
Bernie Mac
Eh... I can't really think of any others at the moment. I mean, yea, there's George Carlin, but I never really got into his stuff. I dunno.
Dislike:
Katt Williams
Dane Cook
Tim and Eric
