Complex recently shared its ranking of “The Funniest People On The Internet Right Now,” with comedian Druski as number one.
This has prompted many digital comics, such as Desi Banks, to weigh in with reactions to the publication’s picks.
The Complex staff ranked the individuals chosen based on several factors, including their reach, popularity, engagement, and social media reaction. Furthermore, Complex did not include stand-up comics.
At the top of the list is Druski, who built his career off relatable internet skits! Right behind him is BenDaDonnn. This man’s ability to perfectly impersonate messy relationship situations is unmatched.
Mark Philips & RDC World knabbed the No. 3 spot, and Tra Rags came in at No. 4. Additionally, stand-up comedian Theo Von rounded off the list at No. 5. The outlet noted that although he doesn’t make content on social media, his podcast clips consistently go viral on social media.
Following Von at No. 6 is Funny Marco.

Roomies under The Shade Room’s report criticized Complex’s choices. Commenters were surprised that Desi Banks (No.8), The 85 South Show (No. 10), and Kai Cenat (No.14) weren’t ranked higher.
@aj.woldy stated, “Kai at 14 is disrespectful. Biggest streamer in the world.”
Additionally, some digital comics on the list commented.
“I’m playing but I’m not because I care that much about comedy, but it’s all good,” he told TSR. “I’ll keep doing my thing and elevating in the real world doing real s**t, also doing the social media. But it’s my motivation.”
“It could have most definitely been more, I know a few women,” he said. “The women that’s on there, I can’t speak on people I don’t know. If we talking about social media, I’m talking consistency of comedy for years — folks they had on that list haven’t even been around like that.”
