RamNut Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Lots of modern comedians aren't funny. And Lenny Henry stopped being funny @1978 I like that that little scottish chap- kevin bridges. i can't tell a word he's saying, but i'm sure its very good.

Steve How Hard? Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 4 hours ago, BaaLocks said: Oh, and one more to put on the pile of awful - Reeves and Mortimer. Funny for a couple of years but now reduced to saying random babblings in the vain attempt they will hit some sort of comedic bullseye. This. Shooting Stars was good back in the day but Vic Reeves has got so far up his own arse that he could perform his own tonsillectomy. Bob Mortimer I quite like to be fair. His fishing series (fishing is not my bag either) with Paul Whitehouse has been quite entertaining for various reasons. That's worth a watch if you haven't seen it. As for the answer to the thread title, my missus says I win that by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I'm surprised no one has mentioned Lee Evans. I guess he's just so unfunny that we've all wiped him from our collective consciousness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Any comedian that uses their act to preach politically correct crap. Russell Howard and that hairy freak Russell Brand really piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Really struggle with female comedians...'Mrs Merton' was brilliant...and Royle Family too, so Caroline is a big exception. After that? Ab Fab...Dinner Ladies, Milligan, Sue n Mel, Jo Brand...all bloody terrible. Russell Howard- what an annoying unfunny right-on bore he is. Mrs Brown's Boys..rubbish!

Chester40 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Oh..and.. Chris Addison...just not funny. Marcus Brigstocke...arrogant but not funny Russ Noble...stop playing with your hair and write something funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated Ab Fab and Miranda but loved Dinnerladies. Mel and Sue are presenters not comedians and do it well. I agree that Mrs Brown's Boys is the biggest pile of crud though.

SaintRam Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 This was not as difficult a read as I was expecting. I'm impressed. A few of you are objectively wrong but on the most part this is an acceptable list of opinions. On 21/07/2018 at 14:19, Anon said: I've seen lots of comedians and most are excellent. One of the few times I've regretted paying the price of the ticket is Marcus Brigstocke. What a patronising, condescending bore! To add some context to that statement, Stewart Lee is one of my favourite comedians, so when I complain about Brigstocke being up his own arse understand that I normally have a very high tolerance level for that kind of thing. This can be concisely explained: Stewart Lee is a character, Marcus Brigstocke is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Sarah Milligan not strictly a comedian but thinks he is funny James Corden, the same goes for Graham Norton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bx3 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 David Letterman Sat through as much as I could stomach a few times trying to 'get it'. It's like he made an effort to be as unfunny as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Gnarly Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Richard Ayoade, unbearable dhead. Absolute twit, winds me up whenever he is on TV. Like that sarcastic ducker at School that tried to be funny but never really was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The irony of this thread. A lot of these being mentioned are in fact funny, just not to your sense of humour. Hence why a lot of people go and see them, enjoy themselves and laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedy, like most forms of entertainment, is subjective, but simply saying other people enjoy something, therefore it must have some merit isn't really a good argument. If that were true we couldn't criticise anything. Lots of people got to watch Forest, enjoy themselves and laugh, that doesn't mean they're a good football team.
