There are some comedians that I just don't find funny at all and just never laugh at, which seems quite bizarre. For example Freddy Starr, Billy Connolly and Ken Dodd, they are just not funny whatsoever. Anyone agree? I also think Vic Reeves is not funny whatsoever. Who do you not find funny?

Michael Macintyre. I'd like to hurt him, really badly.

I just hate comedians that are some sort of ethnic minority, and spend their whole act going on about whatever race/religion they are from, and saying jokes they know that if said by any White British comedian would cause disgrace. Sometimes they can be funny but it's like if the whole country is so offended by so many kinds of jokes then fine we'll be careful... but why do you get to say what the hell you like?

Macintyre was quite funny on Top Gear. Besides that though, I have no real desire to watch him.

It's the same with gay comedians who think by mincing around they're funny. Graham Norton and Alan Carr. |

Next to Clarkson, he probably does come across as amusing. |

The trouble with blockbuster comics like Macintyre and Kay is that when they first come out they are brilliant, too brilliant because they are plastered over every channel, every quizcom, every kind of show you can think of. Then their famous stand-up routines are played to death, every man and his dog gets the DVD and watches it at least 67 times, so the country overdoses on them and gets completely sick of the sight of them.
It doesn't mean they are shíte, just that we've seen too much and don't want anymore. Or maybe you just don't like them, that could also be it.

I think Kay and Gervais believed the hype too much and think all they have to do is open their mouths now and people will laugh.

I think he's funny personally, I can see why others wouldn't like him though. For me there's not enough "proper" comedians about now, the types that tell funny anecdotes like Bob Monkhouse, Jasper Carrot etc. The modern ones recruited by the BBC's comedy drive in the last ten years are all sub-standard now really. A few stick out as funnier than the rest but none come close to the older generation.
Not yet anyway.

He's the black unfunny comedian. Not Lenny Henry. |

Lenny Henry is one of the shitest comedians ever! I cringe every time I see him - so unfunny. His humour has never moved on from Tiswas days (same goes for Dave Gorman as well)

I wonder if humour is sort of like an age thing - what I mean is that I found a lot of people funny when I was younger - Bernard Manning, Faulty Towers, Tommy Cooper, etc - but fewer and fewer as I grew older.
There's always something or other that is funny - Fools and Horses in the early days, or Phoenix Nights, or more recently the IT Crowd but they seem to get less and less to me.
Perhaps I'm just a grumpy old man these days!

Tommy Cooper, Benny Hill, Kenny Everett were all hilarious in the past, and to some still are, and to me all comedy legends, but I find it hard to laugh at them these days.
Comedy has moved on, Peter Kay at first was hilarious with his Blackpool top of the tower, but he failed to move on, on tour.
Pheonix nights was brilliant 1and 2 cracked me up, Max and Paddy was hit and miss. But I guess he has now run out of ideas.
I hate Alan Carr, Graham Norton, that Mcintyre guy, and all of them cringeworthy.
Sorry sluffy but Fawlty towers is comedy gold, and will be forever Cleese is a comedy genius.

McIntyre is funny, he lights up any room in my opinion.
Alan Carr is also very funny, his live show is brilliant.
Reginald D Hunter is my favourite though, a genius.
Peter Kay has never made me laugh, and that Alistair McGowan bloke is brilliant at impressions but an awful stand-up.

I like Reginald D Hunter he is very funny, Alan Carr used to be funny but I think he has latched onto the gay it up gravy train to get himself on telly all the time.
I dont rate any women comedians though, women are just not funny end of.

I think McIntyre is funny. I was never stuck on Alexei Sayle or Jo Bland.

I saw a bit of Morecambe and Wise last Christmas and I was absolutely amazed at how lame they were. Maybe they were funny at the time because they were so popular but they are just not funny at all in this day and age.
And I watched a bit of an Audience with Freddy Starr from the 90s about 6 months back and I couldn't understand it, the audience were laughing so much but I didn't laugh once.
Its good to see no one said Lee Evans or Jack Dee, those two I think are very good and are funny.
