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.

Ooh him as well. What a tosser. I'd like to smack him in the gob.

^^Sarah Milliken - has to always mention cake and her underwear. Two lines don't make a career love (unless you're Lindsay Lohan)


Jimmy Carr - Alan Carr - Jo Brand - Jack Dee - Rufus Hound - Andy Parsons all awful

Michael Mc'Intyre,Dara Obriain and Bill Bailey anyday (I have tickets to see them live )

@John Kline - you mean Milton Jones? (very dry obvious wit,wears the hawaiian shirts?)

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.

Mickey Flanagan. funny as getting a kick in the b****cks.

James corden, ricky gervais, Michael macintyre, gina yashere & al murray. all tosh.

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

I'm bored and have just read the thread from the start - I can't think of a single comedian that has nt been mentioned! Comedy appears to be a very personal thing....

Appropriately, no one has yet mentioned Stuart Lee.

Nelson Longflap

Oh God Yes. Stuart Lee. A superior humour that only Guardianistas are intelligent enough to understand.

Stewart Lee is fricking funny. Unlike McIntyre.

Yeah Mickey Flanagan that's him. What a complete nobber

Page 4 and no-one has mentioned the monumentally unfunny Marcus Brigstocke? The patron saint of that breed of inexplicably sucessful non-comedians.

Good connections? Willing to spout the appropriate group-think? Here you go, a slot on every fricking panel game the BBC shove out. You'll never have to earn an honest living again.

Jim Davidson.

I'm supprised by the nominations for Russell Brand only because I never realised he was a comedian!
Ricky Gervais has become the man he invented
Walliams and Co have lost the impact and novelty that they had

Little Britain was funny for 1 episode, but unlike the Fast Show they just couldn't come up with anything fresh for their characters.

KnightOfTheLongTights

James Corden
Dawn French
Most female comedians (sorry girls, but it's true ....)

de_sisti

Rubbish = Harry Hill. Fact
Funny = Chris Rock. IMO. (He's American, and some of his stuff may

offend

make white people feel uncomfortable).

giant_man

Just wanna hit Lenny Henry, oh and Frankie ugly Boyle, and that Sarah Millican bird is just rubbish. Also bloody Rusell Brand. Toss. Bloody Ricky Jervais - does he actually believe he's funny? Really? Carl Pilkington is better, love his direct little comments.

Love Larry David and Tommy Cooper.

Seeing as comedy is subjective, and I find some of the mentioned "unfunny" comedians funny, and some of the unfunny ones funny, I won't comment. However, here's a rather politically incorrect video of one of my heroes, Christopher Hitchins (not a comedian, but often very funny), explaining why women aren't funny.

I've seen mention of Little Britain but what is worse is the pair of them re-inventing the concept as Come Fly With Me. That is even true tish.

Ahhhhhh totally agree, I'd forgotten about him. He does kids programmes now. I mean how easy is it to make a kid laugh....well if you're brigstocke very very very (x100)hard.

Looks like there is a consensus forming that James Cordon is awful...

Yes, that's right!

Dara O Briain and Chris Addison - Mock the Week has become the comedy equivalent of these two wanking each other off.
Russell Brand - oh how terribly shocking you aren't.
Chubby Brown - not big and not funny
Jonathon Ross (not a comedian but thinks he is funny) - smugness personified - my 9 year old son is less juvenile.

I have no idea if James Corden is funny as the only things I've seen him do are the England football rant and his spat with the Star Trek guy.

rick_chasey

Corden co-wrote Gavin and Stacey, which was excellent.

oscarbudgie

James Corden. Fat smug w@nker.
Women don't count as no one really expects them to be funny so we shouldn't be too hard on the ones who try. Except Jo Brand. And Joan Rivers.
Seems like everyone likes Jack Dee (I do) as he hasn't been mentioned at all.
Russell Brand - I'm not sure if he's a comedian but he's definitely a massive c~nt

Writing a sit-com though is different to being a comedian or a character.

I know, but he's getting a lot of sh!t but he was excellent in G&S, not just in writing it, but also as Smiffy.

Problem is James Cordon is Smiffy, can't be anything else so it gets boring

Didn't know that - you learn something new every day. Whitehall's a posh, obnoxious turd. And an unfunny one at that.
