wow, that was lame

the only thing that made me laugh was sam's expression. she couldn't even force a smile.

I'm rubbish at stuff like that, and if I'd been there I probably could have had a better shot at that with an anecdote.

I don't dislike Joel, he's okay. But how, how is he classed as a "comedian"? None of what he's said in the telegraph has been funny either. Even when he's intended it to be.

I do really like Joel (and Sam) seriously though can you blame her ha ha.

I'd heard his joke before, I don't think it's even his material.

Interestingly a couple of Scarlett's go-to phrases have come across like this to me as well.

A few episodes ago she was saying something about not seeing ghosts of cavemen or modern figures. That is most definitely a well-known observation that I've seen discussed on the internet or from another source prior to this programme. It may have even been discussed on a panel show or QI or something, struggling to rack my memory, but it was very familiar, including the ghosts with jeans lines, it's not "hers".

What I found most interesting about that was that his observations on the responses of the campmates in the bush telegraph afterwards were very, very funny - much funnier than the actual stand-up itself.

I thought the bit of his stand up we saw as very good and I'm genuinely bemused that there are people in this thread who didn't find it funny. He's also funny in his pieces to camera. Maybe his humour is wasted on the sort of people who find I'm A Celebrity... entertaining.

Aah right, because when people disagree with you they must be stupid!

Flawless logic.

Sorry for not appreciating the pinnacle of humour that is Joel talking about changing the channel on his television.

My sense of humour is obviously not as refined as yours and Adumbs

I think his Dad falls asleep because Joel is telling him jokes

Yet they were laughing like crazy when Lisa thought there were loads of flies landing on her...

Yep, not his material. Can't remember where I heard that joke first, but it definitely wasn't from Joel.

blimey, you mean he plagiarised that thing ?

if you are going to have a thieve up, at least nick something worth nicking

He should definitely stick to the day job

By the way, what is his day job ?

maybe he got nervous because of the unusually big crowd ?

the dancing girls got a standing ovation.........that was rubbing it in !

He told it on mock the week. Well that's where I've heard it before

G'day mate, Kiosk Keith's Helpline...What's the problem cobber?"
"G'day, Kiosk Keith can you help ? I'm in Darwin with my sheila and she's been stung on the minge by a wasp, it's now swollen and has completely closed up."
"Bummer mate!"
"Thanks a lot Kiosk Keith, I hadn't thought of that. Bye."

Not only did I find his routine absolute rubbish it was also seriously not funny one iota. And by the way. CGMOH is also bland and boring this year.
Any comments o mighty one

I used to like him on Impractical Jokers, thought he was the funniest . Then again they don't tell jokes on that .

Very difficult for even a comedian to be put on the spot and told, now make me laugh .

Well, that is not what he was talking about at all!

(It was about changing a DVD to another film with the same actor)

I laughed at Scarletts wee legs in the shorts, thought that was funny. first thing Ive laughed at on the show this time round.

I've seen Joel live and he was pretty good. But comedy is very subjective so not everyone will find him funny.

A much bigger room with a lot more people reacting to the same joke...
