5 Entertainers Who Should Not Be Famous

Let's pretend for a moment that Carlos Mencia has never stolen any material. You will likely notice that he is still a horrible comedian. With a delivery style akin to that of a self-proclaimed 7th grade "class clown", switching awkwardly between laughing at his own louder than necessary joke and breaking out his mediocre at best impression of a retarded person. Mencia got rich and famous simply by marketing himself as edgy and offensive. Apparently if someone goes on stage insisting he is offensive, people will come to believe him. His stand-up routines are repetitive and sometimes contain one or two legitimate jokes, but just about everything he says could be considered filler. His show was his stand-up with props. Now stop pretending he doesn't steal jokes and think about how miserable a comedian he truly is.

2. Ashlee Simpson

A case could generally be made that the majority of recent pop stars turned actors turned fashion designers turned whatever else should never have been famous in the first place. Producers and marketers are the only reason their music sells in the first place, and non-music gigs that follow rely solely on their recognizable names. Most of these stars, however, have at least one stand-out quality that gets them to the top, whether it be looks, voice, originality, etc. Ashlee Simpson has nothing but her sister's last name, and that fact earns her a spot on this list.

3. Brittany Murphy

Almost ruined one of my favorite movies of all-time, Sin City, with her laughable overacting. End of story.

4. Jimmy Fallon

Everyone complains about him laughing during SNL sketches, but people forget that those were the funniest things he's ever done. His movie roles have made audiences cringe more than laugh, and his talk show is downright painful to watch. He will never be funny on his own, and sitting in the background of SNL sketches laughing was possibly the luckiest gig any bad comedian ever landed.

5. Joe Jonas

I was going to list "The Jonas Brothers" here, but then I googled them and found out Joe is dating Taylor Swift. The Jonas Brothers are terrible musicians. They put out generic rock music, make it sound dramatic by adding whiny sounds at the end of every word that is sung, and are somehow rich and famous. Their one redeeming quality up to this point in my eyes had been the fact that everyone excluding the 10-14 year old girl demographic realized that they were a complete joke. Apparently that isn't true now, as Taylor Swift so kindly reminds me that selling out entirely can get you just about anything.
