Worst Comedians

[Annierak]

no option for Ricky Gervais?

He's not a srtaight up comedian but he does stand up and stuff.

is the stand up any good? his podcasts were intermittently funny despite his presence. all he did was laugh irritatingly

and he does seem a bit of a cock

I love ricky. One of my favorites. Leave him alone!

I like Harry Hill.

same here. have seen him live and he was fucking brilliant, and he's ace on the telly, too. TV burp is well funny, and he's not just a presenter on You've Been Framed, he's now the main reason to watch it.

anyway....katy brand, frankie boyle, the little britain two, ben elton, little miss jocelyn can all fuck off.

 

[Rollem]

harry hill is funny

ben elton, on the other hand, never was

 

[Hi-ASL]

Harry Hill and Jimmy Carr are both and do not belong in this poll. Neither does Russell Brand.

Alan Carr's the most annoying but Elton's the worst. Did I find him funny once? I think I did, you know. Thanks for The Young Ones and Blackadder, now fuck off. I wish to be amused, not harangued.

 

[coccinelle]

I think the name Russell is a bad indicator. Russell Brand and Russell Howard are both not nearly as funny as they think they are.

 

[Cid]

I'm kind of regretting not putting Evans in, oh well.

 

[Cid]

this really should have been multiple choice Cid

Ah, but that would make it far too easy... I want you to have to think deeply about how fucking shit these people are.

 

[Bakunin]

I hate Roy Chubby Brown

Who doesn't?

He once did a gig in Aldershot that was so offensive a group of paratroopers walked out in disgust.

 

[El Jefe]

Boyle is a good comedian, it's just he's a wanker.
Harry Hill used to be funny. Brand is very very funny.

The others you can take out and shoot

 

[Cid]

Evans should really have got Boyle's place tbh, I was stuck for bad, current comedians and just put him because his prickness shines through his comedy sometimes.

 

[Orang Utan]

What the hell is Russell Brand doing on that list? He's up there with Hicks and Pryor as the greatest of all time.

I was kind of hoping he was dead by now. Oh well... Born in Royston Vasey according to wiki.

 

[sam/phallocrat]

moist

No, he was born Royston Vasey, not in Royston Vasey

 

[El Jefe]

No, he was born Royston Vasey, not in Royston Vasey

heh

 

[N_igma]

Lol isn't Royston Vassey the name of that fictional village in League of Gentlemen?

 

[chico enrico]

"corpulent panty-sniffing funny-man" Bill Bailey.

 

[Hi-ASL]

What the hell is Russell Brand doing on that list? He's up there with Hicks and Pryor as the greatest of all time.

Meaning that he speaks with immense power the unspoken words of great swathes of the public? No, no. I don't think he does. He's pretty funny though.

don't you mean those (cyderdelic, harry enfield, john shuttleworth) who first came up with the phrases/scenarios he plagarises for his routines should be?

 

[Bakunin]

Yep. The fictional village was named thus as a tribute to Chubby Brown, apparently.

And Chubby Brown also goes mad if anyone swears in front of his wife.

 

[rapattaque]

Harry Hill and Frankie Boyle are funny!

Alan Carr isn't, he's gay apparently.

Russel Brand is a pseudo-dandy, illitewate twat.

And why no Jo Brand? She's a woman who likes cakes remember.

pretty much sums up my own thoughts

 

[Orang Utan]

Huh?

 

[chico enrico]

Dom Joly and his 'hysterical enormous mobile phone'.

And mine. Lets start a gang.

You've said this before and it's nonsense. I've seen Cyderdelic live and it's a totally different idea. Enfield and Shuttleworth? Perhaps some of the archaic language, but otherwise no comparison whatsoever

 

[chico enrico]

Huh?

as in most of his gags/material are nicked off other comedians. some who are famous comedians with their own TV shows so i'd dread to think how much he steals from other less known stand-ups etc.

But he pretty much doesn't DO gags, he does anecdotes from his own life (whether or not they're made up, as you always claim).

It's just not true

 

[damnhippie]

Mock the Week seems to act like some sort of filter for trapping rubbish comedians.

 

[Gerry1time]

Have to put in a vote for catherine tate obviously, but think special mention should be given to jo brand as well. Would love to see her try to do a one minute set where she's not allowed to mention the themes of food, being fat and men being useless.
