I don't think I've ever seen him do stand up, so I can't really comment on that, but I have seen him appear on various panel shows, and I've always found him to be really unfunny.
As for funny people, two people that haven't been mentioned are Simon Day and Kevin Eldon.
Jasper Carrott. Watching some of old shows on Sky a while ago, had me in stitches.
No real order and sure I've forgotten some:
Steven Wright
Milton Jones
Jerry Sadowitz
Richard Pryor

Really? I find him to be a sure hit on panel shows. Also possibly the best stand up I've seen.
Oh, except Jack Dee.
Lord I forgot Sadowitz.
There's only one thing he done that I didn't like (Wiki will give you the answer).
Hey that was the best thing he done on BBC that I've ever seen! (bear in mind that I'm 19)
Nah, he launched his website by putting up a picture of a certain body part of his. Apparently it resulted in Channel 5 canceling an offer for a show.
