3 of those are fantastic and 3 are the biggest pile of shite i have ever heard.


I hope you class Dave Chappelle as fantastic : )
Piss funny

So you pissed yourself watching him then? He,much like Rock and Williams, is a really really unfunny comedian.

But that is only my opinion.And it's not a black thing either as i find Amos and Reginald D Hunter funny.

Frank Skinner is still top man for me.


I have never forgiven him for setting up Roy Chubby Brown. He got him on his chat show, and tried too show him up, about rude and inappropriate joke, which is the biggest 'Pot calling the kettle' example in the world.

Roy came across well. He is still and always will be one of my favourite comedians.

Bits of it yes.Strangely,when people put links up on here and discuss someone i try and watch them to see if i can have an opinion based on something.But i'm just weird like that.So...not funny.In my eyes.Big Reg is.
 
I think I have a very British sense of humour. Never got into any American sit-coms.

I love the much derided 'Not Going Out' though which in many ways has an American feel to it. The cheap gags in that crack me up. In fact Lee Mack is one of my favourite comedians at the moment.

I can't understand for the life of me how Jo Brand is still on television. Has she ever said anything funny? Must be the worst around. Generally speaking I don't find female comics particularly funny, I don't know if that is because they aim their jokes for women or what. Victoria Wood is a very clever woman though.

I pretty much agree with everything you've said there, apart from Jo Brand. In the fifteen years or so she's been on telly, I've laughed at least twice.

Frank might be rude but he's not racist or homophobic - which probably explains why he is so much more popular than RCB.

Ive never understood why sexism is accepted whilst racism isn't. They should be one and the same.

I loved 'Not Going Out'. Fantastically written, but I suppose most of it is Mack's stand up, which I really rate. Same as Tim Vine. Quick-firing one liners with word play have always been factors of comedy that make me laugh.

Not keen on Chubby Brown. Don't find vulgar humour funny and a pretty cheap way to get a laugh. Jo Brand? She just annoys me with the way she says 'errrrrrrr' after every unfunny sentence. Victoria Wood has my respect too.
