How did that gob****e get on the television?!

    Is there anyone on TV who you really don't understand how on earth they managed to get there?

    Watching an old episode of HIGNFY atm and Ross Noble is a guest. He's considered to be a comedian but he's not very funny, is he?

    I know it's all subjective etc; but.. c'mon. All he does is shake his stupid greasy lookin' head and shout in silly accents like an escaped mental patient. Does he even do standup? He only ever seems to pop up on QI and the like.

    Russel Brand and Russel Howard are another two... they're not funny are they? Howard is one of the most irritating people I can imagine.

    Is there anyone whose name does not begin with the letter R that you find completely impossible to listen to or watch?

    And why do I keep watch Dave?

    Noble is a funny guy, surreal stuff, but funny

    Brand is a cock, but is very smart and despite myself I find him very funny on occasion

    Any woman comedian. I'm afraid they're just not funny, just put in for a bit of eye candy most of the time. Not being sexist, just the way it is..

    You just don't like Ru or Ro sounds.

    How about Ross O Carroll Kelly? Ros na Rún? Russell Watson?

    Miranda Harte and Sarah Millican spring to mind. The latter is constantly on every panel show going.

    He's a strange one. Loved him when he had his own chat show on the BBC, but when he moved to ITV, he instantly stopped being funny for me :confused:

    Both Russell Brand and Russell Howard are funny. Brand is particularly hilarious.

    I don't understand how Ryan Tubridy got the Late Late.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭SHOVELLER


    Brand has no intellect. His presence on tv sums up the vacousness of what passes for tv these days. Although he was good at playing himself on Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

    Brendan O'Connor. Sorry but what a ballbag.

    Paul O'Grady. Apparently he's a comedian?

    Noble tours a fairly incredible amount. He's been a constant hit on the comedy circuit for something like 20 years. He's good when he's good but it's all a bit stream of consciousness/prattling until he hits the right note.

    Howard is atrocious, and so is that other guy off Mock the Week, Andy Parsons. He's less funny than the average guy on the street. All he can do is cock his eyebrow as a cue to let people know they should laugh.

    I tried to watch a few different stand-ups recently and they were all pretty poor, save my favorite comedian. Stewart Lee. His new dvd is out. Carpet Remnant World. Treat yourself. I love the guy. Intelligent comedy, it's rare. I can't post just one link unfortunately.

    Football pundit Mark Lawrenson. He's woeful, talks absolute shíte, makes really bad jokes or puns, but tv stations are fighting each other to get him on for years.
    Robbie Savage too.

    Depends on your sense of humour - I find Joan Rivers fukcing hilarious.

    For me, it would have to be James Corden. There was a time when he was on every bloody TV show going and I couldn't for the life of me understand why he was in such demand. One of those people who think they're incredibly funny, but are really just annoying.
