Worst comedians?

MakeEmLaugh

Which comedians do you think are the least funny?

I'm going to post some clips, but for the love of God, don't watch them.

Imran Yusuf (UK)

Howie Mandel (Canada)

Buford T Justice

Al Porter

The most un-funniest person to ever grace the air waves or television screens. He's not going away either, :mad::mad::mad::mad:

/thread

Gwynplaine

Ricky Gervais. He's just not funny, he's annoying.
John Bishop. That thick scouse accent just hurts my ears.

Penny Tration

Lee Evans.

The only thing funny about that man is his inability to find a working anti-perspirant

FanadMan

The previous 3 but Al Porter worst of all!

GarH

Jimmy Carr and Michael McIntyre

I dont know how these two became "famous"

stop animal cruelty

I saw him Al Porter perform live in a pub in Dublin a couple of years back.

My friend couldn't believe that the audience found him as a funny as they acted.

He thought the reason people were laughing was a way of overcompensating for the years that anti-gay sentiment was legally enshrined in Ireland (sex between gay men being illegal until 1993, for example).

As in, whoever laughed the hardest at this very camp comedian was the least homophobic!

Yeah, The PC brigade has taken over. He must be funny, lest anyone who doesn't think so must be a homophobe.... It seems these days that people are tripping over themselves around gay people out of fear of being accused being homophobic.

Lee Evans. Dane Cook.


Mostly Dane Cook.

Not really suited to this forum. To AH it is!


PS Al Porter is seriously crap. Won't even attach the label comedian to him!

IvaBigWun

Why not ask who are the best ones?

This is a golden age for stand up comedy ffs.

XR3i

some cuunt-face from dublin,

NachoBusiness

Eddie Izzard.

No idea how anyone can find him funny.

Stewart Lee another.

All subjective though I suppose.

Andre 3000

Larry David

The Backwards Man

I'm fairly sure Billy Connolly rode me Ma before she met me Da. So yeah, he's the worst.

What are you, some kind of schmohawk?

LD is hilarious. A bit shouty, but very funny and clever all the same.

Jason Byrne.
With his stupid auld Dublin woman accent all the time.
How they like him in England is beyond me.
Just not funny.


I did like that anonymous show though

tippspur

I used to think that Bernard O Shea was the most unfunny comedian in Ireland,then along came Al Porter.brutal is not the word for him.

Seinfeld was decent but Curb has to be one of the most boring and predictable shows going. That plus the jokes just aren't that good. Each to their own I guess

PTH2009

Andrew maxwell
Fred Cooke (so annoying)
Al porter (the gay best friend type)

Owldshtok

Not sure if he does stand up anymore,

Neil Delamere.

Saw him recent enough. Very impressed with his improv. Spent half the set just bouncing jokes off the audience's stories and stuff

I didn't really want a debate, I just wanted people to rant over who they didn't like. But OK.

Subjective topic. Impossible to give an answer.

Michael McIntyre.

Sarah Silverberg is worse but Frankie Boyle and Stewart Lee annoy me more, if I wanted to be lectured at by rich white men I would read them when they write in the Guardian.

Irish wise, definitely McSavage, lived in Dublin city center and was exposed regularly to his street comedy and saw a few free shows of his, used to never have new material.

ballsymchugh

Amy schumer. Although for some reason it's frowned upon in some circles to say anything against her either. Jaysis she's shyte.

She's friends with Amy Scumacher.

Roy Chubby Brown.

Any other part of a comedy act like him who needs to swear and dare to be politically incorrect to sound funny.Naturally funny & clever comedians don't need to do that.

Okay I admit it's his voice I find irritating,apart from that he carried the Sunday morning slot well on Today FM this week.But he must be improving,certainly in the early days he wasn't very funny.

kennypowers

I die a little inside every time I see David o Doherty on tv. Its usualy on some panel show where his nasal drawl monologue of unfunnynes is greted by awkward false laughter from fellow panelists.

Ed Byrne is very annoying. I try hard to support Irish comics but cannot do this with Ed Byrne.

KungPao

I got a Jim Davidson DVD as a joke present a while back. I had to have a watch. It was a fairly recent live show...people howling with laughter at quality stuff like:

Jokes about "Jack and Danny's" (fannies)

Saying "You can't even say Arnold Schwarzenegger (negger said like n*gger, of course) any more without being called racist".

Jokes about "shirt lifters" etc.

Unbelievable stuff!

Terribly unfunny.

Your username has me wondering. Are you a comedian or a comedy promoter or just a big comedy enthusiast?

Did you find it creepy that he dedicated a part of his stand up routine going on about looking at the writing on girls tracksuits pants?

Sir Osis of Liver.

Harry Hill...Lame
Jason Byrne....gob****e.

Someone mentioned Al Porter.
RTEs saviour,unfunny.

Be creepier if he knocked one out talking about it.

JackieBauer

Al Porter. His jokes are all about being gay and being from Tallaght. Branch out pal.

Ed Byrne. Brush your teeth, have a wash and google some good jokes.

Bongalongherb

Lee Evans it has to be jasus my head would explode if I was tortured in a room having to listen to it all day and night.

Here's a funny one though seeing that everyone is talking about all the bad ones...

Al Porter needs some one to give him a shot of pipe to calm him down.

Oh dear....also shouting does not make it any more funny.

Yes. ANDREW MAXWELL.

How?

Why?

Who..told him that if he shouts loud enough he will be funny?

STEP 1: Get on mainstream TV, through some backdoor reality comedy big brother.

STEP 2: Get on a panel show. smoke a pipe, edited laughter and pretend you are funny.

STEP 3: Open a twitter account and get followers who think you are funny, (even though you are not.)

STEP 4: Profit.

David McSavage.

I know: I love me a bit of whimsy but DO'D is flogging a disintegrating corpse of a horse at this stage. That 'Facts you didn't know about pandas' book. Give me strength...
