Adam Corolla - funny or not funny?

I remember when I first saw this guy on Loveline and I thought he wasn't funny and was quite annoying.

Then I saw him on The Man Show and I generally liked the guy. I wasn't sure if he was truly funny or not because it was mostly a gag-filled show with prop humor.

Now when I hear him on Bill Simmon's podcasts I think he is a comedic genius that I could listen to for hours.

I don't get to hear his radio show so I don't know how good it is.

To those who hear his radio show - funny or not funny?

I think he is quite funny and also can do "smart" funny also but usually that's not what his audience is after.

Adam's morning show is awesome. I listen every morning when I'm on my way home from work. The crew has great chemistry and Adam has more room to go off on his rants. I loved him on Loveline; but let's be honest, now that he's gone, Dr Dru helps far more people since he doesn't have to sit through Adam's signature rants for 20 minutes per call.

Adam leaving Loveline and getting his own show gave us 2 great shows.

Haven't heard his morning show yet but I cringe every time the tv commercial is on for it.

Laughing hysterically while listening to himself on the radio and saying "This guy's the best!" gets a bit annoying after a couple times.

I pay for Sirius partly for Stern, but I enjoy Adam Corolla much, much more. There are days when I only listen to Stern during Adam's commercials.

I'm glad that Dru is able to help more people now, but I never thought that was really what the show was about - I mean, it was started by Poorman, ferchrisake! POORMAN!! (I hated Poorman).

To me, Adam and Dru were perfect - after I warmed up to Adam. I honestly did not give his morning show enough time before deciding I didn't like his support cast. I suppose I could go back and try again, now that they've all had time to get used to each other, but it's easier to just sit in the mire of morning radio that I'm accustomed to. Life is easier when you grow out of the target audience range.

Funny! I've been listening to him since he started as Mr Birchum on KROQ in the morning.

Being funnier than Dane Cook hardly qualifies anyone as being funny.

Funny. His movie "The Hammer" was filled with laughs.

He is pretty funny on the Taco Bell commercial trying to convince people that eating that slop is real food.

I listen to both Adam and Howard Stern every day. I have to say that more and more I've found Adam to be funnier than Stern. Though I could care less for some of his "bits", and I never listen to his sports interviews, His rants seem to come across as more honest than Stern does.

You can download his show every day commercial-free through iTunes.

He is annoying much of the time, but he definitely has his moments.
