    No T.M.H.N.E.T. I didn't mean him. The guy i'm thinking of has longish dark curly hair, normally wears a white T-shirt. Looks like he comes from Essex.

    For a Scottish boy, growing up in the late 70's with parents and relatives from the West Coast, Billy Connolly was the bollox. He was even great into the 80's, but yes, he has become toatally sh1te now.

    I guess you just wouldn't get it if you were a soft southern la-dee-da quoting your Monty Python ;-)

    Chubby Brown - diabolical

    Simple joke(no offence to our celtic brothers intended)
    How do you confuse an Irishman, lean three shovels against a wal and ask him to take his pick.

    Chubby brown version

    How do you f*****g confuse a f*****g Irish tw*t, lean three f*****g shovels against a f*****g wall and ask the f*****g tw*t to take his f*****g pick.

    schoolyard humour with some naughty words thrown in.

    Steven Merchant is right up there!

    Jimmy Carr has good material/writers but delivers it badly. I've (inexplicably) been to see him live twice now and he might as well have had the script in his hand as he did the act it was that lacklustre. Deadpan is one thing, autopilot is another.

    David Walliams/Matt Lucas/Little Britain are truly dire!

    What happened to Catherine Tate? She was kind of funny for the first few series of her sketch show and then seems to have revelaled herself as a total loony!

    + 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.
    what's with all this James Cordon hate? But I agree with little Britain being crap

    I once saw James Corden wandering around aimlessly on his own in Leeds one Sunday afternoon. I've always wanted to punch him but when I saw him that day he looked so pathetic I thought I didn't need to bother.

    Also, who the fook let Micheal 'wobble my head whilst I walk from one side of the stage to the other with my high pitched camp non-accent voice' McIntyre have a career?

    That Jim Carey wanker - he's so bad I can't even bear to hear his name on the radio let alone watch any of the garbage he's in.

    Alan Partridge

    David Brent - about as funny as an anal fissure

    Agree with a lot of the nominations on here but by far the worst for me is Harry Hill :twisted:

    A lot of those mentioned I don't find funny, but can at least see why someone else might e.g Michael McIntyre.

    But for me, the no.1 spot goes to Sarah Millican. Just not funny.

    Mmmmm IMO two of the great comedy characters. But each to their own I guess :)

    Russell Brand definitley gets a kick in the nuts. With a pair of those really pointy shoes Mods used to wear.

    Its not just the fact that he's not at all funny. Ever. He's just a complete cheesy bell end.

    They should set up a Thunderdome with him and Corden in it, let them batter each other for a while in the vain attempt to win their life and exit the same said Thunderdome then just as one is about to win unleash a pack of a thousand rabid really angry meer cats on them to get rid of them.

    Now that would be funnny.

    Well the same ones keep coming up! Mostly the ones the BBC deem appropriate and then relentlessly ram down our throats every Saturday for a year or two until they are pulled from the schedules under the weight of their own tedium.

    Like John 'F***ing' Bishop. Am I first with that one?

    As for comedians I like, I loved Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle and the If You Prefer A Milder Comedian Please Ask For One DVD is amazing. The way he just deconstructs the comedian-audience relationship is genius.

    Can't stand Corden, Frankie Boyle or Jason Manford. The thing I find is that comedians start out funny and get too much exposure until they are no longer any good (McIntyre being one of the latest). I currently enjoy John Bishop but can see him being the next victim of his own success. I enjoy Gervais characters but detest the man himself. Chris Morris is one of the best but upsets the establishment to much so doesn't get enough air time.

    For me it has to be that lard a#se Cordon, followed closely by John Bishop.
    Neither of them even remotely funny.

    Best ever - Tommy Cooper. Genius :lol:
