Facebook comedy

Joe Dixon

There’s a proliferation of amateur and semi-armature facebook comedians about and while some of them are fairly good, some of them are nothing short of awful.

I find the Fleming family stuff harmless and amusing. The likes of Sir Stevo Timothy was good at the start even if it’s got fairly repetitive.
Then you have Rory’s stories which I’ve failed to find any humor in ever.
Towards the bottom there’s a fella called Jimmy jests who is tragically the least funny creation I’ve ever seen masquerading as comedy.

Who if any are your favorites and who are your jimmy jests?

Cian Twomey, about as funny as cot death.

Foil, arms and Hogg are decent for a giggle

They are.

And I second the Fleming family. I think Tadgh is naturally funny and talented. They are just a crazy fun by family

My friend's sister has taken to putting up videos of her dog singing "funny" songs that she has written. Has gained a lot of traction to the point where it has featured on local radio and she set up a separate FB page for her dog (of course she has). The amount of people saying its hilarious etc is ridiculous. Cringiest thing I have seen in a long time.

She fancies herself as a bit of an Ellen DeGeneres or something, when in reality she is a 40-odd year old woman who calls her husband "hubby" (sure sign of crazy) and seems to revolve her whole life around her dogs and being popular on social media.

How to speak Dublinese and Englishman Plays Risk are comedy classics

Any thread about comedy in AH invariably descends into a boring whinefest where desperately angry and unfunny men (always men) give out about how all comedy these days is shït.

Aglomerado

Another vote for the Fleming family. They are hilarious.

The unbelievablles are legends but they have started this Facebook/YouTube 'funny accent, angry mother, lad' type comedies

Jon Kenny and Pat Shortt are actually very smart guys away from it all

Killinaskully was diabolical when you think of it ha

In their defense when they started out there was no such thing as social media.

I find lots of them have there highs and lows. Never got much good out of Sir Stevo Timothyal all he seems to do is shout and yell.

Those Foil, Arms and Hog guys are genuinely the best out of the lot of them, not sure I've ever seen a bad video and they have some real classics.

Rories Stories....a strange one, some of the videos I find painfully unfunny, then sometimes he comes out with an absolute belter. The Tinder one was genuinely funny.

Your man The Viper is very good. The lad from the Hardy Bucks.

Amateur comedians on facebook are tragic on several levels..it really doesn't lend itself to it..They might have a couple of good ideas initially but within a week it's just repeating the same shtick over and over again..

Lundstram

Tadgh Fleming is very good. He should do more stuff on his own. His Dad and family are not funny at all.

Like, a family trying to go viral with comedy videos on facebook..yeah, tragic..

Jesus..I just watched some of it..

I despair for humanity at times..

That video was terribly unfunny.

A lot of the Rory’s stores stuff is very funny as it really shows exactly what happens in reality and it’s very funny when you see it done in a bit of an exaggerated way.

He is very funny in fairness, have seen him live too and it’s even better as no holds barred at all. Very nice fella too.

No he isn’t, the fact you think that just shows you have a very poor understanding of him.

No he is, was at one of his shows and he told very racist chinese jokes while staring at Asian couple, not a single person laughed, Kathleen told him to stop and move on to the next segment, people walked out, girl was in tears.

Don't find Rory's Stories funny myself.
Not funny and everything seems forced.
