Yet to hear a funny word out of the man's gob. Oh, he's scouse, has he mentioned it?

Mikey Flanagan

Yes, you're cockney and 'funny'. So are Chas N Dave.

Sarah Milligan

Poor man's Caroline Ahern.

    I wouldn't say I "can't stand" them because they're probably perfectly pleasant, but I find Jack Whitehall, Russell Howard and James Corden rather annoying.

    Leigh Francis
    Sarah Millican
    David Walliams
    Peter Kay
    Sacha Baron Cohen (although to be fair he was brilliant in Les Mis)
    James Corden (though to be fair to him, he is a good serious actor)

    Mainly I can't stand anyone who's act revolves around being as vulgar as is humanly possible. David Walliams, meanwhile, just creeps me out like little else and I can't understand how he's seen as a national treasure.

    Frankie Boyle. Don't personally find him funny, just offensive and insulting.:(

    I hated him in Les Mis. I was expecting so much better than the scene-ruiners he and Bonham-Carter turned out to be :(

    Back on topic... Ricky Gervais.

    Jason Manford. I have to turn over the TV whenever he comes on, unfunny cheating muppet.

    Gervais - personification of smug.
    Russell Howard - just not funny. & far too self conscious
    Michael McIntyre- bland, awful drivel.

    You do know that his fans will turn up soon to say that the "smugness" of Gervais is just part of a character he plays don't you??

    Ricky Gervais even when he's being himself I don't seem to like him.The appearance on the one show where he laughed all the time like a little child at the cooking section just forever put me off him
    David Walliams I just think is too creepy. When he just stands there smiling I still think creepy

    I thought we hadn't had a "comedians I don't like" thread for a while :)

    not a moan at all .. it's just one of the threads on DS that is re-posted as new every couple of months.

    Couldn't agree more.

    I also forgot to add Ricky Gervais to my list. Just awful, act or no act.

    Jimmy Carr on the Royal Variety Performance was shockingly bad. Reading out a series of unfunny cue cards and a bit of shrugging
    Sarah Millican's only joke is you don't expect dirty talk from such a sweet looking young lady.
    Will someone please inform Keith Lemon that Paul Carf wants his act back, except Paul Carf was funny.
    I can't understand a word John Bishop says so I have no idea if he is funny.

    Russell Howard
    Russell Brand

    This isn't an anti Russell protest, just a coincidence I'm sure.:) I'd add Jack Whitehall to that list as well.

    I wouldn't say I 'can't stand' them but it genuinely amazes me how mainstream they became, with such little talent.

    Urgh, yes. I remember when he was the inescapable flavour of the month and I just couldn't understand why. He still pops up a lot but the hype does seem to have died down somewhat, thank God.

    It'll descend into one of those 'list threads' again, but there are so many! I'm not a fan of most modern comedy.

    Jimmy Carr is just horrible. His mere presence on TV programmes is off-putting.

    Sarah Millican is very screechy and shrill. Don't like her act at all.

    Victoria Coren - typical indignant feminist type.

    Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis - how does he remain on TV? Just seems very bargain bucket.

    David Walliams - apparently a 'national treasure' but still unspeakably creepy!

    Russell Brand - why this mess of a person is so revered and glorified I will never know.

    Whenever I've had the misfortune of accidentally turning on 'Russell Howard's good news' he is always dry humping an imaginary partner and it makes me feel sick

    And she likes cake. And trifle. *rolleyes*

    Leigh Francis/Keith Lemon is truly atrocious. Every time I see him on TV I just think 'What happened to wit? Remember when comedians were witty?' There's no comedy to his act, just swearing and knob gags *rolleyes* (we really need that smiley back).

    So glad to see it's not just me that finds Walliams so physically repellant. If he were unmasked as a child molester I wouldn't be in the least surprised.

    Also:

    Russell Brand - could benefit from an introduction to a live steam hose, and having his thesaurus surgically removed...

    Frankie Boyle - I detest Jordan as much as the next sentient being, but that was just out of line...

    Michael McIntyre - just... not funny, especially the skipping...

    Ricky Gervaise - smug, unfunny and a piss-poor liar ("I was using 'mong' in its modern usage": yeah, and those twitter faces ?)...

    Sacha Baron Cohen - Ali G was genius, everything else since then is dross...

    Jennifer Saunders - one her own, as amusing as leprosy.
