He makes my skin crawl. He always talks about sex and w anking and I just think he's a sad sack.

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.."

Couldn't put it better myself.

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

I concur about Whitehall, spoilt, wannabe rebel and all round tosser.

Ross Noble is appallingly bad along with Mark Watson.

I saw her once, and I think she let it slip out, but I dont think anyone noticed.

It's just unfunny student humour about badgers and shite like that. Painfully unfunny.

I find them both passable and sometimes funny as long as they're not doing their act, on a panel show or some such.

Humour is a subjective thing though, so I can only say who I personally find to be not in the least funny.

Russell Howard. Many years ago when I lived in Edinburgh I saw him at a free comedy night, and never laughed, and still haven't now he's become famous.

Jimmy Carr. He's pretty good as a host on 8 Out of 10 Cats but I don't find his stand up funny in the least bit.

Russell Brand. I really, seriously do not see what the fuss is about. He just comes across as an unwashed, unfunny, obnoxious arse to me personally.

Andy Parsons. A stupid little beard does not make one funny.

Sarah Millican. Another who isn't funny in stand up, but she can occasionally raise a smile from me in panel shows.

Dara O'Brain I actually do think is quite is funny, Frankie Boyle has also had me laughing quite a bit although his solo series on Channel 4 wasn't very good (the sketches were poor although the stand up side was funny.). Mock the Week has been incredibly poor without Frankie that I gave up watching it and only occasionally tune in now to see if it has improved.

Oh and I cannot stand that tall, skinny bald guy with the single line statements rather than jokes, but I cannot remember his name.

Listened to some old Milton standup via radio 4, he was doing a west country accent, didn't work for me, soon deleted.
He's alright on mock the week, don't know what he's like let loose to do his act.

Confine everyone apart from Russell Brand and that 'my working class dad' comedian to something like mock the week and I can suffer them and get the odd giggle.
Don't get why people hate Milican so much, but the level of hatred is amusing at times.

It's all down to opinion, I just think Ross Noble sucks and is quit pretentious in some ways.

Nowt wrong with Mark Watson, his material just isn't really my taste, a bit too tame.

Apparently. I must have missed it myself. Maybe he needs to shout louder.

[warszawa]

Ross Noble, Chris Addisson, Jack Whitehall, John Bishop, Chris Ramsey, Dave Spikey. Hardly a titter between them.

[Stever7]

Harry Hill - Really don't get why he's considered funny :s

Jo Brand - You're a woman, I get it, shut up about it.

Russell Howard - On MTW he was quite funny, if very 'Family Guy' in his humour (his jokes seemed to normally have nothing to do with what was being said). However on his Good News which I find mildly ammusing, I've realised on that what's funny is the clips, not him at all.

Frankie Boyle - Used to love him, then I saw him live and realised he only has around 4 jokes which he tweaks and repetes again, and again, and again. If that's not working, just say something really offensive and say it's a "joke".

Those are the three off the top of my head. Will say I wouldn't stop them being on TV if I had the choice though; some people must find them funny and that's how it should be. Would hate to live in a world were just because one person doesn't like something it doesn't get shown... even if it was me making the choices

She's got a kid as well which she kept quiet about too...got divorced a while ago which I think she actually has kept quiet about.

I don;t find her funny and she ruins Just A Minute for me..she is very good-looking though...

I agree with this pretty much word for word except the last part.

I like Tim Vine. If you don't like any of his jokes it doesn't take long before he's on another.

I've seen one of his shows on DVD and there is some really clever stuff in it...then he goes and 'ruins' it by going gross out etc.

He could easily clean it up and get on TV but he's making plenty of money on stage so why go on TV.

[SuperDude95]

Keith Lemon

[mrsmoose]

Joe Pasquale. He always tells the "If Whoopie Goldberg married Gerald Depardieu" "Joke" on every show he's on, without fail, and the hosts always have to fake a laugh. It's embarrassing

Also, Jack Whitehall. He's ruined A League of their own. He can't be funny spontaneously, everything he says is planned.

Actually she hasn't kept it quiet. She often mentions it. Not that it's relevant anyway.

She's not the best female comedian around, but I've seen far worse.
