    That black dude that's always on Have I Got New For You. "Oh look at me, I'm black... blah blah blah blah blah...."

    He's not one bit funny either.

    I read that and I could hear Tommy Tiernan saying it

    That's what I was going for. Glad I got the subtle cadence of Mr. Tiernan right!

    Reg D. Hunter??? The man's a great comic who does a whole lot more than jokes about race.

    I don't mind comedians using the same jokes within a year or so, but after that if they haven't made up something else it's just flippin lazy.

    A few comedians I've seen at the Cat Laughs in Kilkenny do the same sheeite over and over, generally the whole "oh my God you guys love to drink man", gets a bit jaded after a while.

    That's hardly racist. All he did was describe his routine.

    What's racist about that?

    Similar to the irish, we're mad theme and that Nigerian/English one on mock the week. Everything she says is about nigerian people and culture. CHRIST, use it for material fair enough but every single thing she says..... uuhh

    Everything by Des Bishop = Done to death and unfunny.

    Tommy Tiernan is a pain in the rectum and extremely unfunny. His entire act consists of shouting and swearing to prove how "mad" he is.

    Andrew Maxwell, what's the point of him? Funerals are funnier.

    Neil Delemere, reminds me of a dick I went to school with who thought he was funny, but wasn't.

    The bottom line is half decent Irish comedians go to London and base themselves there. The sh!te ones never stray too far away from home.

    Some comedian needs yo come up with a routine along the lines of most comedians having unfunny, unoriginal jokes.

    Jewish American comics who base their whole act around being Jewish "we were the only Jews in an Italian neighbourhood " etc.

    People feeling the need to link Bill Hicks' marketing people routine anytime there's a discussion relating to marketing or advertising. Linking it doesn't make you witty and knowing by proxy…

    How one man can sweat so much is beyond me, he always seems to look nervous on stage to me.

    Its like as if he's thinking " one of these days the crowd will realise I am not funny"

    Everything by that Bill Hicks fella... same routines, year in, year out. It's like he stopped writing stuff around 30.

    Oh, & people who use variations of: did you see what I did there?

    The last time I saw Tommy Tiernan, about 3 or 4 years ago in Vicar Street, the guy before him seemed to be basing his whole routine around a 20 year old Billy Connolly show. He even did that joke about the first time he wanked to a p0rn mag and the shop assistant asking him if he wanted to buy it.
    Imagine hearing that joke again, from an incredibly nervous man, breathing really heavily into his microphone, and without any comic timing.

    Yes, Jason Bryne is my winner of the never ever funny award. Honorary mention to any 'comedian' whose appeared to commentate on any top 20 celebratory embarrassing moments (and I believe Jason has).


    Jokes which have been done to death. This is extremely unfair given it was a repeat of show from years ago, but Im sure even then it was unoriginal guff. A couple of days ago on challenge tv, Les Dennis' Family Fortunes show was on, and during his interviewing of the guest routine they came out with a couple of dozzies abouts Ladas. How do you double the price of Lada? Put petrol in it. What do you call a Lada with a sunroof? A skip.

    Stupid things their kids do/have done, Ryanair, things done when p*ssed (especially ordering food and texting).

    I haven't been to a comedy show in ages. Hate when I see a comedian and they are re-hashing jokes. Probably why I don't bother so much anymore. My friends keep me entertained.... for free :D
