The list is endless but the main culprits are: ANDY PARSONS, DARA OBRIAN, AL MURRAY. I know comedy is subjective, but really how can people find them funny.

[PaleHorse]

The comedians that I can't stand are Chris Addison, Jack Whitehall and Russell Howard.

Real untalented and really unfunny. The type who you can tell our thinking "They're not going for this one, better shout or put on a terrible accent. Yes, that'll get them going.."

Jimmy Carr - Not unfunny so much as he's got a face you want to slap.

[JELLIES0]

I rely on my DVDs of Rising Damp, Wheeltappers And Shunters, Dad's Army, Porridge,Nearest And Dearest, Morecambe And Wise, Ken Dodd, plus various old repeats on satellite for my comedy entertainment. I just can't stand most modern day comics.

I don't mind regional accents,but banging on about being northern wears thin.

Michael macintyre bores me.

It'd be very odd if she adopted a cockney accent when talking about her divorce, as she is indeed 'northern'!

I like Dara O'Briain but I'll give you the others. Not funny. And smug.

[Chester666666]

Dara and Russell are funny

This I realise.
However, I would hazard a guess that if one was to read a manuscript of her routine - sans accent, it would be so far from.comedic that, that in itself would become hilarious

[TOONARMY12]

Russel Howard , Lee Evans., Sarah Millican, Harry Hill (luckily he isn't on telly so much these days).

[ladymoanalot]

Sarah Millican.

[Glyn W]

Paddy McGuinness.

The living embodiment of someone without talent of their own riding to celebrity on the coattails of someone who is talented.

[TheSilentFez]

Dara O'Briain is brilliant!
Sarah Millican and Lee Mack are not. I can't stand them. Ross Noble isn't much better.

I watched both Dara and Mac last night on Dave. Dara was lol funny whilst Mac was a bit of a let down. Saying that I enjoyed the sitcom he did.

Ah that internet favourite, the comedy thread. By the time we're finished, everyone from Aristophanes to some bloke who was on at the open mic night at the Red Lion last Tuesday will have been denounced as unfunny.

The vast majority of modern comedians are pitiful though, the one who's annoying me the most at the moment is Russell Kane, mainly because the continuity girl on BBC3 keeps insisting he's hilarious and doing that "laugh-talking" thing.

[09beyoncefan]

Russell Howard is hilarious! (and hot)

Harry Hill, Lee Evans and ESPECIALLY Michael McIntyre. The latter is so unfunny and yet practically universally praised.

The token female one in Mock the Week.

Talking of open mic nights at the Red Lion, I wish more pubs had stand up nights. There are non that I know of around here, It would certainly pull me in.

Some of the best comedians I have seen have been unknowns.

[jsmith99]

There's one particular 'comedian' always seems to be on one show or another. Unfortunate face, strange accent, totally unfunny but thinks he's hilarious, no idea of his first name, but the second one's 'carr'.

[Glowbot]

Rhod Gilbert gets around a bit. I can't watch him.

The funniest person I've seen in the last few years was the father of multiple birth children (the Waltons?) in Liverpool. He goes round giving talks to small groups (WI, mothers' groups, people like that). They televised him once, and he was absolutely fabulous; a natural comedian.

I personally just can't get enough of how she talks about her boyfriend ALL the time *sarcasm* It gets right on my jugs

[m4rk1]

All the best comedy material is banned. Most of these comedians are shit because they are restricted to a diet of politically correct humour.
