Do These Men Deserve to Be the Highest Paid Comedians?

Do you feel that? Those are George Carlin's acid tears falling from heaven. There are some mainstays on the millionaire funny-man list. But there is one depressing shocker. Can you guess who?

Forbes put out their list of the 10 richest comedians based on their concert ticket sales, movie deals, and DVD sales.

1. Jerry Seinfeld $85 million between June 2008 and June 2009. He also filmed this commercial. Laugh it up, America!

2. Chris Rock whose worldwide 'No Apologies Tour' contributed to his $42 million bounty. Chris is a funny man and we should continue to give him our money.

3. Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham banked an estimated $30 million over the course of the year. Wait, who?!

4. Dane Cook is the friend that nobody likes. The friend with $20 million dollars.

5. George Lopez. $20 million. Holler back Canoga Park!

6. Howie Mandel. Aw, I have a soft spot for Bobby's World.

7. Larry the Cable Guy made $13million dollars last year. This clip about sums it up.

8. You might be a redneck if you only make $11 million dollars, Jeff Foxworthy.

Ok! Did you guess who? Did you say Dane Cook? I hope you did cause he's the ambassador of TERRIBLE.

You Might Be A Redneck If...Your Animated Fox Series Is About NASCAR

· Fox bought Jeff Foxworthy's animated pilot pitch about "a dysfunctional family set in the world of NASCAR." Since it comes from Foxworthy, we'll assume that unlike King of the Hill, this show is meant to be embraced by those it depicts. [Variety]
· Ben Affleck will write, direct and star in the sexily titled The Town, in which he'll play a thief who falls in love with a bank manager. [Variety]
· Sam Rockwell, Emma Roberts and Rob Corddry will star in The Winning Season, about a high school girls' basketball team. Yeah, we'd see that. [THR]
· Football season means ESPN scores! Terminator isn't faring as well for Fox, however, despite the best efforts of Shirley Manson as its American Standard-issue flushable killing machine. [Variety]
· Wall Street's pants-crapping directly affected entertainment media stocks, with the THR Showbiz 50 hitting its lowest point in a year. [THR]

Going To The Head of Foxworthy's Fifth Grade Class

· We're posting the above video, titled "Jeff Foxworthy is a Perv," only because it seems incredibly unfair. Anyone would seem pervy when subjected to the slow-motion loops of lip-licking and chest-bouncing depicted in the clip. The moan-y sound effects don't help matters, either.
· Spamalot shows Britney Spears some lyrical mercy.
· For one night only, Siegfried and Roy are back! And with animals! What could possibly go wrong?
· OMG! Tiny bodybuilder!
