Michael McIntyre - Is it just me?

[Bombadier Botty]

I love my comedy but cannot stand the bloke. Imho he just isn't funny and his smug demeanour (see the Graham Norton School of Comedy) combined with his lame material makes me grab for the remote whenever he comes on the box.

Is it just me?

i think he's quite good !

Damn you Wanderer, I'm destined to wander the deserted sands of Tatooine alone on this one if your post is reflective of NSC as a whole!

Nice to see that those with the Star Wars avatar's are sticking together...I'm with you on this one and have got tickets for his show in November.

One of the funniest observational comedians to come along for a very long time.

Me neither. He's in the Billy Connolly/Lee Evans box marked 'never made me laugh but everyone else seems to think he's hilarious'.

It is the fact that he is lauded by so many people that is the big mystery - as you say in the same way Connolly/Evans are for equally unfathomable reasons.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Bloody terrible and that horrible 'look at me i'm so funny' laugh. Needs a punch up the bracket imo.

No. No, it isn't.

There was a story in The Observer about him acting like a massive smug twat at the Edinburgh Festival last year. Wish I'd saved it.

He's a bit ITV isn't he?

Unbelievable. How can anyone hail this plank as the future of comedy. I remember seeing him on something like the One Show a few months ago, seeing him doing the whole 'laughing like a demented hyena at his own piss-poor jokes' routine, and wondering how he was making a living as a comedian.

Unfortunately that realisation has coincided with his irritating voice and visage and fatuous observations cropping up on every TV and radio show ad nauseum ever since. I'll say this for him, whoever's doing his PR, they truly are the geniuses.

A classic case of even those people who think they are too cool and cynical to be led like sheep by an overhyped PR bandwagon, err, being led like sheep.

he is very smug but quite funny too. his observations on London commuting and a few other issues are spot on. maybe some people dont like observatons humour? and he doesnt swear much, which i know confuses some funny bones.

He's REALLY popular with the Daily Mail. Funny that.

I saw him on something, I think the end of year quiz on channel four over new years, and while I didn't hate him, I did wonder why people rave about him.

Please can someone on here who likes Michael McIntyre try to defend this unbelievably unfunny article?

Literally nothing in it is funny.

Seeing it written doesn'ty help it, I grant you.

I think his style divides opinion quite a lot, to be honest. I quite like his delivery and think his live dvd is very good indeed. Each to their own I guess. He is very middle class though, which I like. Much funnier than that **** Frankie Boyle.

Well, from a previous thread...

The Man Draw observations are spot on. I have all manner of useless shit in my drawers.

But I guess even US isn't saying it's funny. It's not.

 

[clapham_gull]

If Des O'Conner was still doing his chat show on ITV, just the sort of comedian you'd see on there.

Have to turn him over, but not as unfunny as Lee Evans.

 

[Mr Banana]

He goes in the same category as Lee Evans and a whole lot of other stuff in mainstream culture for me. I have never laughed at him but so many people I know have that I have to hold the sniping back. I was quite tempted to get one of the tickets just to help anyone out who didn't get one. I'm sure in 20+ years time, when I lose all morals, that will turn into wishing I'd got one so I could flog it for insane profit on Ebay.

well, imo if you want to see a real genius comic at work then may i suggest Phil Kay (no, no Peter) who's playing the speigeltent during the festival, may 5th. this man performs on the edge (and sometimes falls off it). i love my stand up and this bloke is a legend .
