Do you find Tommy Tiernan funny?

A YouTube channel I follow recently uploaded a clip of Tommy Tiernan performing at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal a few years ago. I'd seen the footage before, but not for a while. It made obvious to me what I've believed for many years now - that Tommy Tiernan simply isn't funny, and that his success is derived…

That wouldn't be a problem if he was actually funny.

The same YouTube channel uploaded a clip of Tiernan from the same festival in 2000. It was marginally better than the 2006 clip.

Out of eight minutes of comedy, around 30 seconds made me laugh; the gag about being asked for two pieces of ID in a bar in California.

It's from 2:01 to 2:28, if anyone wants to skip the rest.
