Worst comedians/comedy characters?

rodgers73

For me it's got to be Keith Lemon.

The guy playing him dropped off the radar when the entire country seemed to get sick of Bo Selecta all at exactly the same time (ie start of the third series). And this is his "comeback"?? No wonder his main fanbase seems to be Chris Moyles listeners...

Your nominations??

Rigga

Where do i start?

'Comedy' Dave from Chris Moyles show (and Chris Moyles)..
Harry Enfield
Lenny Henry
David Walliams

To name but a few.. :roll:

Miranda Hart is awful and for some reason I despise Chris Addison.

napoleond

Billy Connolly. So many people rave about him. I've never laughed at owt he's said. Actually I may have when it's been said by someone else.

All the Friends characters. Aaargh. :evil: Can't stand that programme.

Bozman

1) James Corden is just the most overrated and overhyped waste of space.

2) Rob Brydon, words fail me.

3) Is there a good female comic out there? However much beer you drink in a comedy club they always fail to impress.

I can't stand Ricky Gervais and as for characters there's just so much bad "comedy" out there it's not even funny.

Jimmy Carr

+ 1 for James Cordon. Please, someone, somewhere, hit him in his fat head with a pick axe handle. Everything about him just makes me angry.

And I know that I'll be in the minority over this one, but I can't stand Little Britain. Appallingly shyyyte. Watched it once, never again. Shockingly unfunny and rubbish.

Yes. She has NEVER said or done one thing even remotely funny. she's just crap. Don't find that whiny Geordie lass funny either. Forget her name.

Mrs Browns Boys, why do people find this funny? It's not.

DavidBelcher

Chip & Pin, by a long chalk. Fish & Cushion was easily the better double act of the two;

I couldn't disagree more

martinwitnam

+1 for James Corden. Immensely un-funny.

And Two and a Half Men has taken a complete nose-dive since the introduction of Ashton K(r)utcher! Charlie Sheen was that programme!

napoleond

Forgot about James Corden as I failed to associate him with Comedy.

Yep. He has to be the worst.

all show no go

David Walliams

Russell Brand

Jo Brand

Patrick Kielty

Lenny Henry

jim453

That tall guy Marchant/Merchant? Not funny, at all.

Rob Brydon, not funny.

Michael Mcintyre, same.

In fact, loads of them are not funny.

It is probably an easier task to attempt to list a few who are even remotely funny.

I'd start us off but I can't actually think of any.

OffTheBackAdam

Add me on the Miranda Hart list.
Simply terrible, not even vaguely funny.

Smokin Joe

Spike Milligan.

Never once even made me smile.

Chris Langham, even worse than Milligan.

mfin

Jo Brand, cos not funny at all and all the jokes are obvious and predictable and only about eating cake or looking fat.

Julian Clary, cos all the jokes are just boring innuendo about being gay that are supposed to shock to be funny, but do neither.

Andy Parsons, cos he's not funny.

Agree Billy Connolly isnt funny, but he likes to give you clues as to what you should find funny by laughing at his own jokes.

Lenny Henry, dont think he's said anything funny ever, might be funny to 10 year olds and thats it.

lemoncurd

Because people's taste differs this may as well be a list of all comedians and comedy characters.

Michael McIntyre really is shite though.
So is Eddie Izzard.

Well you certainly proved your point about taste with your last sentence. Couldn't disagree more about Izzard.

Worst character: Mr Bean / Johnny English, if only because I really admire Rowan Atkinson and wish he'd do something half decent instead.

Worst comedians: Rufus Hound, Richard Blackwood, and the population of the city of Liverpool.

Same comments apply to Alan Carr - camp does not always equal funny. Kenneth Williams (admittedly a comic actor rather than bona [1] fide comedian) did it all a hell of a lot better on Round the Horne forty-odd years ago. End of.

David

[1] Not an intentional "Julian & Sandy" reference. Honest.

TuckerUK

James Corden

Johnny Vegas

And after reading through this topic, I'd have to agree Russell Brand.

estampida

the worst:

Jim shit shit Davidson
Roy Chubby Brown eye
Lee Nelson
Al the shit Murray
Tony Hawks
Joan Rivers
Alex Zane

I think the rest have died thank fully

And a Aussie I think was called jimbo, but he was awful truly awful

But I do like those old sitcoms not like these modern one's, my fav was the comedy about a department store, where the emplyees were a shit stabber and an old lady who kept on talking about her wet pussy.....

not like the one about a black family moving in next door to that poor white family........

or the one where they teach immigrants how to speak properly............ :roll:

rajMAN

James Cordon - simply just a Fat B*****d.

heathy_76

+1 for Billy Conolly

+1 for 'Comedy Dave' and Chris Moyles

+1 for women comics in general

Mel and Sue were probably the worst double act I have ever seen and Gina Yashere is without doubt the unfunniest person I have ever seen.

Dirty_Harry

James Cordon
Sarah Millican
Russell Brand
Russell 'I'm trying to be surreal, but instead i'm just a talentless k*ob' Howard

Have to disagree with Spike Milligan, one of the greatest comic minds ever - but each to his own.

Roobsa

I'm surprised Al Murray hasn't been mentioned. Do people actually like him? I hate the pub landlord thing he does. He just shouts a lot of utter tosh.

I don't see the appeal of Lee Evans either.

jonni3

Russel Brand
Ricky Gervais
Steven Merchant
Andy Parsons
Michael McIntyre
Frank Skinner

to name but a few, the top three for me have no comedic or acting talent that I have noticed.

john_kline

Sarah Millican, about as funny as a fire in an orphanage. Michael McIntyre, James Corden, that bald twa t off mock the week with a head like a potato, infact the whole cast of mock the week with the sole exception of the amazing Frankie Boyle. Rhod Gilbert, Stephen Amos, Omar Dalisomething, and that bloke with the long floppy hair who looks like he should drive a white van or sell double glazing.

Crispybug

BERNIE F**KING WINTERS!!!!!


Now I know I'm going back a few years, but bloody hell he took being unfunny to a whole new level.

I used to work with this guy twenty odd years ago and he really hated Bernie Winters, even more than me!! Anyway one day he walks into work beaming from ear to ear. "Why are you so happy?" I enquire, "Schnorbitz is dead!!" (Schnorbitz was his St Bernards dog sidekick) he announces "Pardon?".."Schnorbitz is dead, and that means that right now that fat c*** Bernie Winters is really miserable and that makes me really happy!"

Anyway as an example try to spot the funny bit in this stand up, I'll give you a clue...nothing funny is said!!
