His jokes were funny because they were unfunny and he just sat there grimicing at them :laugh:

I found his comments about people genuinely funny though, inparticular the week he nominated Dexter and said he could make an onion cry and Sophie where he compared her to Connect4 LOL.

I found him hilarious. His jokes were corny, but his delivery was funny and his clear sense of delight in the cheesiness of them made me smile.

I also thought he was very funny in some of his comments. He has a way with words that made me laugh a lot.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Like most comedy it's highly subjective. Coming from someone else I probably wouldn't have found those jokes funny. But I found him funny.

he was brilliant with his one liners. even on bbots they asked him make me laugh, quick as a flash he said, what do you call a women who throws her bills in the fire? Bernadette

Nope, never laughed at his jokes once. They reminded me of jokes my sister would come out with at about 2 years old.

However, I seem to have a different sense of humour to most people. For example, people think I am weird for not finding things like 'Mrs Browns Boys' funny :laugh:

Having said that, a few of Sams one liners were funny..just not his 'jokes'

I don't think it was that his jokes were funny per se...it was his delivery that made them so. And his one liners had me laughing.

I have never understood the appeal of Mrs Brown's Boys. That one totally passes me by.

My 10 year old tells them, knowing they're not funny, and usually follows the punchline by pointing and yelling TROLLFACE! because that's his real goal - not to make you laugh, to make you look like this:

It's a **** joke but sometimes they carry their weight. You didn't like it and that's your right but it didn't put the voting public off clearly.

Fine at first but after a while, i ended up thinking the whole corny joke thing was a bit contrived. I guess they all had their idea of what sort of character they were going to play in the house, and that was Sam's. Harmless enough but didn't really match up with the rest of his character which was either quiet or moody.

Having said that, his 'bad jokes' task was a genuine highlight of the show. He was very funny in making the jokes as bad as possible and he delivered it well.

The more he tried to make them fall flat (and win the task) the more they laughed (especially Joe).

It was a genuinely enjoyable BB moment and much needed with all that BB tension.

I think what I found endearing about Sam's jokes was his obvious delight in wordplay. The fact that he clearly walks about with an encylopeadia of such jokes in his brain suggests it's more than just schtick, it's a genuine love of wordplay and puns. I like that. I like people who like language.

It's also interesting to me how many of his jokes rely on how words sound, including rhymes. Given his years of speech therapy, I get the impression he has fostered a real love of language and words.

His accent helps. Some accents are particularly good for joke telling. They add a certain emphasis and texture to the words. His line about Dexter being so rude he could make an onion cry was a good example of that I think. Wouldn't have worked half so well in a home counties accent.
