The most unfunny comedian ever

I thought Ronnie C was pretty good and his part in the show where he sat in the chair was my favourite part of the two ronnies. Barker was more talented e.g. his brilliance in porridge but like Corbett he was more a comedy actor than a natural comedian.

Porridge is the most “underrated” comedy of all time, beats faulty towers in my belief

Sarah Millican - now that's a name I was trying to remember. My piles have given me more laughs than she has.

Brian, are you and the others bumping this thread as the place to come if the stress over the next 2 hours gets too much?

I agree it's the best sitcom but I wouldn't say it is ever underrated as it usually gets top 5 in these annual surveys they do on Gold/Channel 5 etc. John Cleese was a big fan of Ronnie B and I agree with him that when I watch him as Fletcher I see very little trace of the actor at all, it really is a truly remarkable performance and when combined with Richard Beckinsale and Fulton Mackay I struggle to see how there'll ever be anything better.

He is dreadful that tired old act he peddled for all them years was excruciatingly awful. I wasn't a fan of comedian like Bob Monkhouse but at least I could occasionally raise a half smile at some of his jokes. I would like to add Tarbuck into this totally unfunny and a scouse **** too.
 
BTW is there a comedy gold thread to cheer us up on this wet monday after being beat by the dippers.......
don't want to start one if there is one

This twat. When he was laughing towards the end of the game yesterday I thought he was Phil Jones's Brother.
 
Jo Brand
Hale & Pace
Russell Howard
Lenny Henry

My thumb has a standing order to change the channel if there is even a hint they are coming on. Luckily with H&P not too necessary anymore.

I'm a big fan of Ronnie Barker, although he did some shite as well, and always cringed at Corbett's contributions to their show, yet when I look back now I enjoy them. I reckon he knew his limits, but he was the better of the two for the musical numbers.

A lot of double acts will basically be one playing off the other, with the funnier of the two being the one who has most of the funny lines. Morecambe and Wise are probably the best example with Ernie's role basically being the straight man for Eric. Even Bob Mortimer more often than not plays the role of setting things up for Vic Reeves, even though he can obviously be very funny in his own right. As for the Two Ronnies, Barker was obviously better at delivering an old-fashioned punchline, but half of the humour in a sketch like Four Candles comes from Corbett's increasing annoyance at it becomes more and more absurd.

Harry Enfield was pretty bad. Loadsamoney was dreadful and he ruined the first series of Men Behaving Badly.

That's basically because he can't really act. He's good in over-the-top sketch roles, but he was massively miscast in that. It'd be like casting Rik Mayall in The Office. Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke on the other hand are both great actors.
