Keith Lemon or whatever his real name is. I didn't like all that mask stuff, he was still doing jokes about Craig David years after everyone else had forgotten him - even Craig David himself apparently told him at some awards do, 'why don't you do someone more current?!'
As for Celebrity Juice, I think it's just Pavlov's Dogs, the guy says some stupid catchphrase and everyone collapses in laughter just because he has said the catchphrase. There's a lot of comedy like that, or course, but Celebrity Juice has nothing else.

It certainly is the epitome of tabloid television, trash. Lemon makes me feel sick.

You're right. Some women I work with squeal in delight in some of the things he says - 'smash yer back doors in' being an example - but if a man talked like that in the workplace he'd be up on a sexual harrassment charge.
To be honest I don't think you can judge any comedian on their TV performances, as they are so constrained by being on TV which, by its very nature, is now a very safe medium.
To really find out how good a comedian is you need to see them live. I've seen many of the names mentioned here live and what people say saying on this thread about most of them doesn't ring true with their live performances.
Jack Whitehall - Just come out of the closet!
That south african guy off Mock the Week
Patrick Kielty - Oh jesus where do I begin
Mark Watson - How the man got his own show I will never know.

Yes. Brian Conley being an example. His tv show was just 'okay', I enjoyed his live show tremendously.

Count me in with that
Apart from four comedians mentioned I find all of the above completely unfunny and agree with the reasons why. Russell Howard is by far the most unfunny person, unfortunately he reminds me of someone I used to know and is about as obnoxious. I used to love Mock the Week but I can't watch it when he is on...which makes me dislike him even more:mad:
Ken Dodd. I walked out after 2 hours and he hadn't reached the bloody interval. He got bluer and bluer in an attempt to get a laugh. The last straw was to get his "neice" on stage to do some karaoke! One of the most depressing evenings I have ever spent in a theatre - and I've seen Ibsen plays!
I've seen Ken Dodd about six times in all and have never seen him use blue material.

"I didn't think i could owe money to the Inland Revenue as i live on the coast"
(might try that one myself soon!)
And yes, John Bishop is AWFUL!
oh and that irritating git that did Britains Got Talent.

He is, friend of a friend of a friend. Top guy.

Glad someone else has said this, can't stand him. Bloody annoying person he is.
Theres quite a long list of comedians I don't find funny, the list of comedians I do like would probably be a lot shorter
Benny Hill. An entire career around one very flimsy joke, retold again and again in different costumes.
Jim Davidson. Just a waste of space.
Lee Evans.
I didn't even like the real Norman Wisdom.

Who would have been every bit as successful without that gimmick of his voice, of course...:rolleyes:

Peter Kay
Ricky Gervais
Any woman.

Have you ever noticed anything, ever?
:yawn:

Maybe I just don't have a sence of humour:o lol
Maybe it is because I am a woman... but I do not find female stand ups that funny either.
French and Saunders.
Roy Chubby Brown - talking shit isn't funny in an adult.
