20 Comedians Who Aren't Funny on Twitter

I can only imagine the kind of pressure a comedian faces with having to be funny 24/7. But, at the same time, I do expect professional jokesters to be humorous at least half the time when doing something publicly. Of course, that's more so a fan's rule—and one which a number of comics don't abide by on social media. Maybe they have their reasons. Say, not giving away material they can sell or just not essentially doing free labor in 140 characters. Whatever the reason, though, there are way too many comedians who aren't funny on Twitter. Here are the 20 biggest offenders.

Listen, Chris Tucker reportedly owes million in back taxes. If I owed the taxman, I wouldn't be trying to make y'all laugh for free either. Can't even blame him in this instance. But you know, you could insert a Friday reference every so often, Chris.

Louis C.K.'s Twitter feed must be run by his publicist, his booker, and other people who get 10-15 percent of his earnings. They're not giving a penny of that percentage away courtesy of a free joke. Clearly.

Username: @BobSaget

Bob Saget's feed may include a few jokes like these here and there, but for the most part, he's one of those quote-sharing Twitter users. Yes, that's still a thing. Yes, I wish it would stop, too. No, I don't think it ever will.

Mo'Nique may continue to do stand up comedy when the mood strikes her, but her Twitter feed isn't for you if you're hoping to catch laughs. The former "Nikki Parker" is more about uplifting her fans than cracking jokes. To that end, if you want to read the Oscar-winning actress, celebrated comedian and former talk show host push positive anecdotes and fitness tips, have at it. If not, go stream Queens of Comedy.

Username: @TheRealRoseanne

These days, Roseanne is more talk radio and cable news pundit than comedienne. I mean, go her for standing tall with her political beliefs and speaking her mind, but you know, I kinda wish Roseanne Conner was the one doing the tweeting.

Steve Harvey remains funny, but he's no longer actively doing stand up. His Twitter feed is living proof of that. It's just Steve promoting his various projects--the radio show, the daytime talk show, the books, the charity work, and the game show hosting duties. Read his timeline while singing "racks on racks on racks." It's more entertaining that way.

Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor (like many of you, I refuse to acknowledge Last Man Standing) isn't breaking things for quick laughs on Twitter, though I wish he were 'cause I haven't a clue as to what he's talking about usually. By the way, if you co-signed this tweet, you fall into the "fake deep" category. Stop it.

Username: @margaretcho

Margaret Cho's profile is a maze of retweets and nothing more. If she stuck this tweet in her bio, she'd save herself plenty of trouble. Her followers still wouldn't be laughing, but at least her feed would look less cluttered.

Username: @WhoopiGoldberg

Whoopi Goldberg barely cares about Twitter, so she damn sure doesn't care to make us laugh on her timeline. Pity because, in my mind, she could be our funny Nana on Twitter.

Username: @PaulScheer

If you like jerky jokes then maybe Paul Scheer will make you laugh. Many don't though, or at least, require that kind of humor to require more effort. For the record, yes, Paul, someone has found a missing kid by way of a RT. That's the point of spreading the word.

Username: @cedentertainer

For the most part, Cedric The Entertainer's Twitterfeed is a dedication to his Instagram feed. Why do people keep doing this? No really, why?

Username: @pennjillette

An additional sample Penn Jillette tweet: "I had a sandwich today. I befriended the waitress who served it. And the person who bought the bread. Life is amazing." Well, not really, but you get it.

Username: @sinbadbad

Sinbad isn't cracking jokes on Twitter usually, and that's fine given my mama--who loves him--isn't on Twitter anyway.

Username: @LilDuval

Lil' Duval gets a lot of reaction from Twitter users, but that's not shocking. After all, don't trolls usually get the attention they so desperately seek?

Username: @TheRealMikeEpps

When Mike Epps isn't policing sports teams' bandwagons, he's making you miss Martin Lawrence more than you already do.

Username: @DaveCoulier

I forgot Joey from "Full House" was alive. Congratulations on that, good sir, but these jokes: nah. That ain't it.

Username: @RealTracyMorgan

Tracy Morgan's brand of humor is largely tied around the kind of movement and volume that can't be replicated in a tweet. Fine, he gets a pass on that, but not on these kind of jokes. At least Vine it, man.

Username: @ChelseaHandler

"Uganda Be Kidding Me?" Really. How about you Fallujah down a well already?

Username: @ToddBarry

I'm all for dry wit, but these jokes need Vaseline and every lubricant available at a CVC counter. Pass.

Username: @JerrySeinfeld

There are plenty of people who think it's criminal not to love Seinfeld. I've yet to watch a single episode, but Jerry's tweets don't provide much motivation. I'll get to it, eventually--no thanks to this feed.
