Truth: Not So Funny

There are comedians that I think are not funny. Yet because of certain roles or events, they are forever deemed funny. For example I don't think Eddie Murphy is funny.  I think he's a good actor, and I've enjoyed his movies, but I don't find him really funny.  His stand up special was pretty funny about 20 years ago, but what have you done for me lately?
 
I do not think Robin Williams is funny. I did when he was Mork, but after that he was just a neurotic person who everyone thinks is funny.  I don't. I do think he is a very underrated actor, I'll give him that.  Will Farrell. Sorry I don't get it.  Only because it seems he plays the same character over and over.  Jim Carrey I don't get either.
 
Larry the cable guy.  Are you kidding me? He's about as funny as Roseanne Barr or Jeff Foxworthy - not really funny at all. Rainn Wilson I don't find funny.  He's just weird, and it's the same shtick thing over and over.
 
Richard Pryor, now he was funny.  Carrot Top who most people I know think sucks, makes me laugh like crazy.  I'm a fan of prop humor.  Like my music, movie, and art I'm searching for new, for unique, for fresh.  I don't want to hear the same things over and over.  Life is too short.  Show me the funny!
