Bag a ****e...

You've bored the arse of everyone on this thread already, give it a ****ing rest.

What for - throwing back at you something you said to show your point was ****ing dim-witted?m

It's also really interesting that you accuse me of 'boring the arse of (sic) everyone on the thread' when all I said was I thought Peter Kay was ****. As ever it was you who came back with the 'he can't be **** if he's so successful' argument. If you hadn't replied then it wouldn't have gone anywhere but then you have the cheek to blame me for it.

If you don't want a response, then don't respond to me.

I think Tim Vine's underrated, a lot of those one-liners are very clever.

Don't be Sicily OLM.

 

[The B&S Fanclub]

I'm off the radar here, Billy Connolly by all means as for the other, pass, but give me Dave Allen, Les Dawson, Mick Miller, Barry Crier, Mel Brooks, Roger Dangerfield, Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers

I saw Billy Connolly live in Chicago..Good, but not brilliant.. The Yanks didn't get it

 

[Happy Tiger]

I saw Roger De Courcey and Nookie Bear in the Falklands.

Roger was a bit of a miserable twat, but the bear was ****ing vicious and funny as ****.

Stewart Lee - The cleverest and most intelligent stand-up currently working, by some considerable distance.

Frankie Boyle - As Stewart Lee only a bit more Scotch. (although his latest TV series is a bit weak).

Ross Noble - The most surreal comedian on the circuit but because of this he's sometimes more tumbleweed than full on Hat-stand.

I'm sorry ernie I think Stewart lee is the emperors new clothes.
If you want to post a fantastic clip of him go ahead.
But I think he's a smug unfunny ****.

Do we agree that he's a clever, intelligent, smug, unfunny **** though?

Another oldie I liked was Ken Goodwin. Was only a kid but made me laugh.

No.

 

[Leon...]

Was he a comedian?

To be fair, wasn't he just a kids/family comic?

 

[Leon...]

Chris Morris - Day Today, Brass Eye, Blue Jam, Nathan Barley etc

The man's a comedy titan.

Read that on skim as Keith Chegwin.

"I'm not saying William Wallace, your national hero, slept with a child, he probably did..." and then some jock walks out. Makes me piss myself

Bob .Newhart. Remember the old man crying with laughter listening to him.
Doddy seen him loads of times.
Les Dawson too.
Stewart Francis, great one liner comedian.
Also saw stu Francis with les Dawson. Crush a grape.
John dowie was one of the best stand ups I saw in the 80's at spring st. Ken and brenda haven't got a video...
Tim Vine, can't help laughing at him. I said to the one armed waiter, you can take it but you can't dish it out...
Frank skinner. Great comedian and brill on absolute on a Saturday morning.

Only knew Stu Francis as Crackerjack king. Didn't realise he was a get up/stand up too.

Used to love Crackerjack - good early years hit home of what a Friday was all about. Also marvelling jealously at the prizes at the end: Atari 2600s, AT-ATs, Game of Life board game etc

Also, quite a few people have supposed to have seen Les Dawson's ghost. And then there's that story of Les being freaked out after seeing Sid James' ghost too.

Ahh I see, so if a British comedian is popular with British audiences then they must be good, but if a foreign comedian is popular with British audiences then they can be ****.

It's textbook logic.

Barmpots I say.

To do that routine in Glasgow took guts.

He did a set up though that identified himself as Scotch by birth, which caused some self-righteous Scottish anger. It was all done to justify the whole routine to a Scottish audience and with the exception of the one walkout, he got away with it.

Really? Just a stereotype then ernie attacking the jocks. Surely an edgy comedian would do that joke about Islam.
