Wouldn't get annoyed about Tim Vine. I'll tell you what makes my blood boil: crematoriums.

[Humour] Tim Vine
- Thread starter Binney on acid
- Start date
Tim Vine is a comedian whose routine is mainly infantile but innocent puns, family friendly and innocous. With decades of comedians to choose from, you liken him to... a man who was the most obvious example of sexist, racist, homophobic, adult, boundary pushing stand up. What an odd choice.

It was just a comparison of peoples likes and dislikes not the individual styles of the comedians.

I saw this advert in a window that said: ‘Television for sale, £1, volume stuck on full.’ I thought, ‘I can’t turn that down.
I was having dinner with my boss and his wife said, ‘How many potatoes would you like, Tim?’. I said ‘Ooh, I’ll just have one please.’ She said ‘It’s OK, you don’t have to be polite.’ ‘Alright,’ I said, ‘I’ll just have one then, you stupid cow.

do you consider either of those to be remotely funny?

I find them harmlessly funny clearly demonstrating the ambiguities of the English language, yes BG. I take it you don't then?

No I thought they were awful and certainly wouldnt pay to hear someone say it.
This may well be the stumbling block.

Yes. In the same way that I find Milton Jones' humour funny ie " ....you know that film "Minions" - I sent someone to watch it for me the other day"
#12 above nails it for me.
Of course it made you smile. If you have to comment to boost your post count, please lighten up ffs.
I sold my hoover the other day

Thanks for that. I'll be there.
What did you think?
He has a very funny radio show.

He most certainly did. Kinell was a catchphrase of sorts but he most certainly swore including using the word he was replacing frequently as well.

Humour isn't a matter of right or wrong, different people find different things funny. It's as simple as that.
See what you didn't do there!

To be perfectly honest, I thought it was dreadful. To me it wasn't remotely funny and thank god it wasn't horrifying. I smiled a couple of times while it was showing and must have dozed off a bit. He strikes me as being quite a nice bloke and his presence enhanced the evening, but at 1 hour and 20 minutes, I found the film about as entertaining as watching Poyet's Albion.
Ah, shame. I thought it had a certain charm, especially when put into the context of it being a film he made just for the fun of making a film, rather than being one he intended to release. I know I've done that with friends and I neer managed anything to that standard (but then, I don't have his budget). I have also seen some pretty bad films in my time, so my tolerance for poor quality films is quite high.
I liked lot of the little jokes, the ringtones, shining the light over the kids eyepatch and asking if he can see it, the empty dinner plates, the hidden crevasse, etc.
