Unfunny comedians

[KZNSeagull]

I think you can only judge how funny someone really is when they are in a pseudo non-scripted situation - the only 2 we regularly watch are QI and Would I Lie To You.

From this I would rank them as follows:

Very sharp and naturally funny:

David Mitchell
Sandi Toksvig
Bill Bailey
Alan Davies
Bob Mortimer
Vic Reeves
Rich Hall
Ross Noble
Andy Hamilton
Danny Baker (not really a comedian though)
Barry Cryer

Quite sharp and reasonably naturally amusing:

Rob Bryden
Lee Mack
Jack Whitehall
Rhod Gilbert
Kevin Bridges
Greg Davies
Jo Brand
Sean Lock
Jack Dee
Johnny Vegas
Clive Anderson
Sarah Millican
Julian Clary
Ronny Ancona

Not naturally funny and desperately need a script:

Jimmy Carr
Phil Jupitus
Dara O'Briein
Jason Manford
Sue Perkins
Shappi Khorsandi
Eddie Izzard
Rory Bremner

Yes, I am VERY bored.

 

[AmexRuislip]

He was brilliantly funny live at TOM. Nope, if we're talking unfunny then there is one out and out winner .....


MIRANDA !!!!!!!!!

Your opinion, but the last laugh is on you

 

[Pevenseagull]

Sarah 'vagina' Millican is tedious

 

[atfc village]

Alan Carr just annoying.

 

[anygivensunday]

Sarah 'vagina' Millican is tedious

She is the pits. Makes Miranda seem like Richard Pryor. Of the female comedians on the UK circuit I think Katherine Ryan is pretty good.

Tbh most of the current British lot are poor when compared to the likes of Burr, Rock, CK, Stanhope, Jeffries etc.

 

[The Spanish]

Ah bless him, the likkle baby is frightened of women.

He's not saying women aren't funny or he is scared of them. Just that good female comedians are thin on the ground, perhaps. A statement on the misogyny of the entertainment industry? Maybe a genuine criticism of inequality, rather than simple opportunistic PC twittery?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I find Jon Richardson particularly unfunny. Some friends got us tickets to see him at the Dome a year or two back, and oh dear, it was all dreary introspection.

Oh, and that bloke with the big black beard that dresses like a Religious Studies teacher and appears to live round here cos he's always in the Crown & Anchor is eminently forgettable.

Ross Noble. Terrible comedian. Ruins QI when he's on it. Maybe I'm missing it but this is what he sounds like to me on stage or on shows ...

"Yeah, and then imagine the Wombles were all riding motorbikes into Wembley and Uncle Bulgaria was drunk so kept falling off but the Clangers and Michael Parkinson put him in a taxi and sent him to the moon where he established a colony of yoghurt men who knitted dreams and magic"

Utter cock.

 

[Soulman]

I don't like Russell Howard. smarmy and not funny.

 

[Nibble]

Oh and note to Dara O'Briene, saying "Uhhh" at the end of every "joke" does not make it funny.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Jack Whitehall. And his dad.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Stewart Lee was okay at the Dome last week. Even if the material wasn't particularly 'funny' he's someone worth listening to and he did a good value for money 2 hours plus set, unlike Dylan Moran a few years back, who could barely bothered to do 20 minutes of shit material, went off for an interval, came back and did another 20 minutes of mediocre stuff and then f/ked off. Really poor show from Moran, who obviously thought that with his 'stellar' reputation he could get away with it (and he did).

The thing about Stewart Lee is that he refuses to do all the TV panel shows, unlike all the familiar dross who sell their souls appearing on them.

 

[The Upper Library]

Tim Vine.

Also the young blonde haired bloke with loads of teeth. Don't know his name but totally not funny

 

[Guinness Boy]

Why anyone watches John Bishop I have no idea. There are funnier people on Facebook.

 

[Justice]

Noel Fielding

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Paddy McGuinness - saw one of his Stand up DVD releases, he'd obviously forgot to put any jokes into his routine as it was just one long advert for Greggs the baker.

 

[edna krabappel]

Russell Howard & Jack Whitehall for me. Cannot stand the pair of them. Instant TV turn off.

 

[Ernest]

Quite a few DULLARDS on here think they're FUNNY when in FACT they're about as FUNNY as slicing your KNOB off when you're getting SAUSAGES ready for a NATURIST BBQ

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

James corden.

 

[Stat Brother]

She is the pits. Makes Miranda seem like Richard Pryor. Of the female comedians on the UK circuit I think Katherine Ryan is pretty good.

Doug Stanhope's performance is very funny, pure filth but funny.
