    Friends.

    Friends was hit and miss but when it was good it was hilarious, my fave episode was when the guys were competing against the girls for the apartment, every line was brilliant in it.

    "he's a trans....transponster!"
    "THATS NOT EVEN A WORD!!"

    Hardy Bucks

    Its not funny

    I have to agree! I grew up in Mayo pretty close to where Hardy Bucks is filmed & that is basically what everybody there is like. So basically the country people that find this funny are basically laughing at how stupid they come across to the rest of Ireland & to me that's the definition of stupidity.

    Gross humour "There's something about Mary" sperm in hair scene comes to mind. So many films made now use gross humour such a lazy way of making comedy:(

    Jaded Boards refrains like *gets popcorn*. Most, I'm sure, don't find this funny or amusing, but there are people still writing it so I'll take it they find it funny. It isn't. Stop it:pac:

    Anything where somebody has said to me: "did you see "x" on youtube? Check it out man, you'll piss yourself laughing." Guaranteed "x" is a big steaming pile of unfunny shíte. A co-worker did this to me the other day about some "funny" song about stealing atm machines. I had to stand there for three and a half minutes making courtesy "ha, has" at the appropriate moments while he was pissing himself.

    I think the "Joeys Tailor" episode redeems Friends from the "Unfunny" category.

    I would have said Friends too, but then I remembered the bit where Ross got his teeth bleached and the one where he bought leather pants. Not a friends fan, but those bits were damn funny.

    That was just such an excellent movie. You must not like Inbetweeners either.

    Two episodes out of 230+ is far from enough to save it from the unfunny bucket.

    Family Guy

    South Park

    Sean Lock on QI. He's alright when he's doing stand up or something, but he ruins QI by talking over everyone else and having no idea what he's talking about. The same with Alan Davies.

    Any kind of humour that's designed to shock rather than make people laugh. I've often heard comedians say "if I haven't shocked you I haven't done my job". No, your job is to be funny. Stop hiding the fact that you're a pathetic humourless cretin behind sick jokes.

    Out of context Simpsons quotes. They might be funny on The Simpsons but when they're taken out of the programme and written on an internet forum they're anything but funny. The same goes for any other quote from a television programme. For instance "ride me sideways was another one". That makes absolutely no sense when taken out of context of the episode of Father Ted it appeared on. Also it was only mildly funny at best to begin with.

    All that 'zombie apocalypse' nonsense.

    I like Sean Lock, I just don't think he's got the intellectual curiosity to be genuinely interested in anything that comes up on QI.

    Catherine fucking Lynch.

    What ****bag in RTE thought giving that talentless woman her own 'comedy' show was a good idea.

    With a couple of notable exceptions. There's a British Iranian woman who's very funny.
