I quite like to laugh at Carrot Top if that counts?

I cannot abide by Michael Macintyre, not even remotely funny. I think the only comedians I actually like are Rob Delaney, Megan Amram, Lauren Caltigirone, Sarah Millican, Billy Connolly, Katherine Ryan, Kris Jefferies... mostly comedians that don't feature on British television, because they tend to be crap on TV and I think when you think a comedian is crap, you'll never change your mind.

Can't stand Lee Evans, Tim Vine, Al Murray,Frankie Boyle,Jimmy Carr.
Like Kevin Bridges, Rich Hall, Jason Byrne, Jon Richardson,Micheal McIntyre and John Bishop.

Only seen Rich Hall on QI, I like his dead pan type humour, and he is also so knowledgeable on quite a few subjects when on that show. I like QI, and can even abide most comedians on that show who usually annoy me so much when on other shows. Although that so called comedian who does the PG Tips adverts really aggravates me whatever show he is on.

He probably could, but given its slot on the BBC schedules it's required to be uh... watered down. To put it lightly, lol. He used to annoy me because he's very loud sometimes, but he's a very sharp and funny guy.

The guy who does the board on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, he's got a big beard and looks like like a sex offender

[MTVN]

Joe Wilkinson, I think he's really good on there

[King Gizzard]

Lee Mack always comes across as a dad trying to crack jokes at a wedding

I love Vic and Bob I'd probably say it is my humour overall

[King Gizzard]

Sean Lock sucks when he's not doing 8/10

In fact I think I just don't like stand up

[Shaun]

vic and bob but separately... not so much.

[King Gizzard]

Oh and even though I love IT crowd I don't find chris o'dowd funny at all

[Marsh.]

Moss is the only reason to watch IT Crowd. That Reynholm guy is the unfunniest person on TV.

great thread I concur there are loads of crap mostly middle class overly educated comics who arent naturally funny. ....i dont laugh at michael macintyre nor jack whitehall, at all....theres a few exceptions like dylan moran makes me laugh a bit, rob brydon can be funny, steve coogan obviously though i find his performances funnier than coogan just giving an interview, rod gilbert I quite enjoy....johnny vegas can be funny ....ricky gervais awful stand up, who else in the UK? andi osho is on a lot, hes probably one of the better female comics and shes very sexy.......izzard is ok but way over rated...the older comics like jasper carrott, dave allen, billy connolly, even tom oconner were infinitely better..why? well because they were working class and real. I truly believe that
will self dont like, etc

I think american comedians and writers and comedy actors are way way ahead of what we have to offer.......from pryor to bill hicks to robin williams to louis ck to dave chappelle,,,,,,,,,,to chris rock to seinfeld to eddie murphy back in the day

in movies they have endless brilliant comedy actors and writers from owen wilson to will ferrell, to ben stiller, steve martin, vince vaughan, steve correll, jack black, tina fey, amy poehler, amy adams, drew barrymore, adam sandler, or older school ted danson, henry winkler, woody harrelson, etc even serious heavyweight actors like nolte, deniro , mcconaughey, pacino, nickolson can all be hilarious

british comedy and movies have long been too snobbish and elitist imo....even the so called grim up north films arent realistic they lack humour because theyre made by posh boys who dont really understand the people they make movies about
we had a great era of comedy tv shows, with legends like warren mitchell, harry corbett, wilfred brambell, ronnie barker, john cleese, david jason, mochael crawford...but that eras long gone and weve gone backwards, we dont invest in this talent and in writers anymore , we dont take risks like the goon show either

british comedy is the most over rated thing on the planet. even python were over rated

bring back more working class comics , with original ideas,,,who relate to the common man and woman

Have you seen House of Fools?

he isnt

[Ammi]

..I used to find Vic and Bob funny, Bob especially ..their humour was so 'random' but I think that the randomness of it then started to become predictable so they just weren't funny anymore because they didn't change their 'act' enough, maybe...
