Hes about as funny as a fart in a space suit with the added benefit of a media driven chip on his shoulder.

Has to be said LH was just about the only low point of TISWAS. Phantom Flan Flinger? YES! Sally James? ABSOLUTELY! Pulling kids around by their ears? BRILLIANT!, the acceptable face of junior ear pulling! Bob Carolgees and Spit The Dog? EXCELLENTE! But Trevor McDoughnut? Flat spot. Then he only went and married Dawn French. Which was no laughing matter in anybody's book. IMHO, like. Obviously.

Ther's one or two named so far that I haven't really seen, but otherwise I also find nearly all of those named funny at times.
Some are more hit and miss than others, but none that I have not, at some point, genuionely laughed at.

Apart, as already mentioned, the Mrs Browns Boys people. That's. Just. Awful.

I know I am not supposed to find Michael Macintyre funny, I know he is not cool. But actually, I do find him pretty consistently funny. Not edgy, not always original. But funny. Sorry.

Am I missing something with the whole Keith Lemon thing? I know it's meant to be a satire of some kind, and I haven't really tried very hard. But not sure I get it at all.

exactly. people are confusing cool and funny. except with russell howard who is neither.

my bugbear is the crap bbc political satire - the now show, have i got news for you etc. tedious in the extreme. andy hamilton? why?

No one has mentioned the Twunt: Jason Byrne.
I watched The Sunday Brunch a couple of weeks and he absolutely ruined the viewing figures that week. He was acting like a hyper active clown, I had to turn over five minutes.

Nothing to do with cool/trendy/hip or whatever. McIntyre simply does not remotely come close to being funny. In my opinion of course.

There are A LOT on netflix, maybe popular in America but doesn't translate well over here.

The office was genius.

Sorry, maybe I need to work in an office to understand his 'genius' and find it funny. Same can be said for 'extras' too, everything else he's done for that matter. Just my opinion I hasten to add.

The Now Show and 'Have I got New for you' can be very very funny.
The one I can't stand on the radio is 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue' which I find mainly smug public school attempted humour. Often by people I normally quite like.

Ricky Gervaise, did not get the office at all!

Wow, I can see how many people do not like Gervais (I love all his stuff) but the Office is probably THE defining British comedy of the last 15 years, some of the best observations of characters ever and a love story that rivals Shakespeare. I urge you to revisit it.

Chubby Brown.

Aside from the subject matter, he can't even tell a gag properly. Makes Bernard Manning look like Bill Hicks.

Reckon making comedy into a pseudo-stadium event was a big mistake. Hello WEMBLEY! Yeah, right

Just shows how tastes vary.

Ricky Gervais is, for me, the best comedian I've ever seen. Even ignoring The Office, his stand up alone is fantastic.

I really like Mrs Brown's boys.
Michael Macintyre show is the same everyweek only the names are changed.

KEITH LEMMON is the biggest **** onTV, I would rather watch wrestling.
That starred word begins with T

Also French & Saunders.

Jack Whitehall.

Jimmy Carr.

I don't agree on the last one. Jimmy Carr can be very funny.

I love all his stuff, I think the podcasts are some of his best work. I totally get why some people find him irritating but I do not understand how anyone cannot appreciate The Office as a piece of art.

Agree about The Office. Derek is wonderful too, laugh and cry stuff.
