Seriously, they have Miami at 20 for Sly Stallone and then OK State at 15 for Gary Busey?  It was cool to see a famous alumnus from each school, but don't bother reading the rankings that make no sense.

OK, so pretty much every one from The Hangover, 2 Halloween references, 2 Cuckoos Nest references, 2 Cheers references, 2 WWF references.  Not bad.  But in what world is Jesse Jackson cooler than Raquel Welch?

[4everwarriors]

In this list, is it just for undergraduate college or are they countin' grad school too?

[Eldon]

I LOVE how they have a pic from Wet Hot American Summer for Christopher Meloni (instead of SVU).  Wet Hot is so underrated and WAAAY ahead of its time.

In what world would Bob Saget be cooler than Bill Cosby, who also went to Temple?

Bizarroworld, perhaps?

Way, way ahead.

I was thinking about making fondu with cheddar cheese for dinner tonight

[SERocks]

Sorry, Illinois should be number 1 given the people they picked.

Gonna make sure I have a whole bottle of Dick Cream.

True dat! I mean, #53 out of 68!?!

Pretty sure you said 'dick cream' bud.

[Ari Gold]

San Diego and Okla should be in the top 5?

Duke too because Ken Jeong is fracking hilarious as Senor Chang.

I think the coolest thing about Ken Jeong is that he was a practicing MD before he decided on comedy as a career. 

His medical degree is from North Carolina, btw.

I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

edit: apparently I thought I was the only one that'd make that joke... I guess it isn't about the girl...

But in what world is Jesse Jackson cooler than Raquel Welch?

True dat. Olivia Munn is for real as well. Smoking hot and super funny. She's like a real life unicorn. You think she couldn't be real, and yet she is.

Damn, you must be old.  I suspect that you never saw the Bob Saget roast on the Comedy Channel either.

[Aughnanure]

Yeahhh no. Bob Saget doesn't get to redeem his era of Full House and terrible jokes on America's Funniest Home Videos with some dirty humor on a crappy TV show. I suspect you have never heard Bill Cosby stand up.

[🏀]

Bill Cosby is the Wayne Brady of the 80s. Pass.

[Aughnanure]

Say what you want about Cosby, Bob Saget shouldn't be mentioned in the same room with him.

Yeah, I guess I am old.  And I did see the Comedy Central Roast.  There's nothing cool about a person whose entire schtick consists of "Look at me!  I am a former wholesome TV dad trying to shock everyone by making jokes about f*cking Mary Kate and Ashley!"

yea I'd agree... Saget isn't that clever

Except every standup comedian worth a crap describes Cosby as one of the masters of the art. Wayne Brady is a Dave Chappelle punchline
