Annoying Comedians

Patrick Kielty - possibly the world's unfunniest man
Graham Norton - annoying
That bloke wiuth the keyboard, Dave O'Doherty?

Zapp Brannigan · 31-07-2007 12:58PM

I liked David O Doherty until I watched that show he has on RTE. Great live, crap on TV. RTE is like the curse of Irish comics, go on there and you become instantly unfunny.

BaZmO* · 31-07-2007 02:14PM

Karl Spain - Seen him in the International once and he was dreadful, he was reading his "jokes" from a piece of paper because it was "new" material. :rolleyes:

Lenny Henry - I know he's old school but in fairness he was part of the new breed of alternative Comedians.
That show he done recently on BBC about what makes people funny was atrocious, or more so he was. There was one bit in it when a Best Man was going through his speech with Lenny and he was advising him not to use the jokes. Lucky for the Best Man he didn't take his advice because his speech went down a storm. FFS Lenny, you're supposed to be a professional comedian and you can't even advise some one on a BM speech? :rolleyes:

and finally....

Russell Howard - The guy from Mock The Week. Shockingly unfunny.

there are three absolutely intolerable "comedians" on my list:

Brendan Grace

Brendan O'Carroll

Robin Williams
(he has his moments as an actor ...but comedian? No way !)

Miguel_Sanchez · 31-07-2007 02:51PM

I would have mentioned Dave McSavage but I thought that at least somebody had to consider the person a comedian for them to be included in the thread.

Dave McSavage is merely considered a waste of space by most people.

He's a complete git - you just know he got bullied mercilessly at school and is now trying to get his own back on the world. Tough **** McSavage - you're an unfunny ass.

Also - Brendan O'Carroll. I don't care if his 'plays' sell out when they're on - they're ****e. Complete and utter ****e.

Gizzle · 31-07-2007 02:55PM

Des Bishop. Fnarrr.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 31-07-2007 02:58PM

Maeve Higgins and Jo Brand.
Jesus christ Maeve Higgins reeeeallly gets on my tits with her accent and general 'comedy'.
Jo Brand, All her jokes are so obvious and are always self deprecating, then she just repeats the same things "i'm fat, blah blah blah, men are shit, blah blah blah, flaps..."

Bill Bailey and Ross Noble coming up?!:eek: Blasphemy!

sturgo · 31-07-2007 03:04PM

Carl Spain - Simply not funny

Blisterman · 31-07-2007 07:14PM

Tommy Tiernan
Bill Bailey
Every camp/drag comedian that I can think of (Although if someone can prove me wrong, go ahead).

I DO however like Dave McSavage, Conan O Brien, Jerry Seinfeld and Dara o Briain.

It's because of people like you that man gets bookings. You should be ashamed...

The worst stand-up I have ever seen was Ray Romano from Everybody Loves Raymond
on Paramount one night.
And the crowd was loving it! So anyone can be a comedian, there will always be enough
people to find you funny. Brendan O'Carroll has a nice house and plenty of money
I doubt he cares whether he is actually funny. It's enough to make you cry.

Oh, and Pat Shortt! God I hate that man!

How did I forget him from my list? Both him and the other gobsh1te that was with him in D'Unfunnies are about as amusing as a hot poker being shoved up your arse. I have friends who think they wewre the funniest act that ever walked the planet and tell me I don't get them because I'm from Dublin. No, I don't get them because there's nothing even remotely funny about them.

Crazy Christ · 31-07-2007 08:13PM

Culchies like Pat Shortt, they see him as a God.

MaxFlower · 31-07-2007 08:40PM

Jason Byrne all the way, no doubt about it, iron clad 100% not in the slightest bit funny.
I think its telling though that no one has mentioned any of the Fast Show crew.
That is the definition of comedy for me. I really miss Bob Flemming. Ted and Ralph

MaxFlower · 31-07-2007 08:48PM

Oh Yeah, Comedy Forum+1.

For the moment I'll have to put this here.

Swiss Toni - 'Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk'.:D

Santa Claus · 31-07-2007 09:40PM

How nobody mentioned David McSavage on the first page I don't know....although verbally abusing people in Temple Bar/Grafton St makes you more of a wino than a comedian so maybe that's why he hasn't got mentioned !?!

And Brendan O'Carroll....Am I the only northsider that doesn't find him funny (I don't particularly like aslan either so maybe i'm not a real northsider) ?

the fast show......naa......just another over-rated brit comedy show along with the league of gentlemen and little britain.

btw another guy i don't get is......Ricky Gervais, i mean what so funny about a guy that makes fun of the disabled & handicapped?:cool:

2Scoops · 01-08-2007 05:24AM

Some annoy me just because they're over-rated (t tiernan, bill hicks etc.) but the comedian I really really HATE is Colin Murphy. He thinks he's so funny and that's what annoys me. After every joke, inside his mind he's congratulating himself! And the audience lap it up...

What's that Colin? You said something silly and then gurned for the camera? Hil-arious! Genius! LOL ROFL

I am somewhat consoled by the fact that even though only one other person here said they hated him, I think it's just because he's not even on peoples' radar.

What a great way to get back at an annoying Comedian.

Is that the Skeeter (or someone) bombs video? Cos if it is it's hilarious! "You're fat" lol

r3nu4l · 01-08-2007 02:07PM

Stand-ups whose acts I dislike:

Al Murray - No thanks.
Harry Hill - Comedian?
Ed Byrne - Never, ever found him funny.
Seán Hughes - I used to like Seán.
Eddie Izzard - Like some of his stuff but overall...meh

macroman · 01-08-2007 02:15PM

Al Murray and that Pub Landlord bollocks does my head in!

Maeve Higgins really tops it all though!

chopperbyrne · 01-08-2007 02:52PM

For those bashing Robin Williams, his stand-up stuff before he started doing TV and films is gold.

jackdaw · 01-08-2007 03:09PM

Peter Kay .. a stupid f*cking unfunny fat idiot ...

Ishmael · 01-08-2007 03:23PM

Des Bishop, I hate this man with a passion - he'd be funnier if he just came out and vomited on stage because he might as well be doing it with the amount of crap he has regurgitated and re-used over his career.

Hard Larry · 01-08-2007 04:15PM

Saw this thread and its perfect for my story

I was at an-event-we-are-forbidden-to-talk-about in Punchestown early in July...I was standing there in a poncho covered in mud smoking a blue when this girl comes over to bum a smoke off me. I was messing with her telling her that smokers are a dying breed etc. etc. when we looked over to our left and low and behold there was David McSavage

He was standing there with a sign over his head that read 'I'm an alcoholic' the girl turned to me and said
Girl: 'Is that David McSavage?'
Me: 'Yeah hes a spanner'
Girl: 'I hate him too...I'm gonna kick him in the nutz'

She promptly walked over to him and kicked him in the nutZ.

And it was all caught on camera by some girl DMcS was with. The funniest bit was watching him watch the playback on the camera. He was freaked out and had to do the shot again! His face was priceless.

On his second take some guy covered in mud started chasing him and DMcS tripped and fell dirtying his chinos

That girl will get free ciggies for life off me.

Naikon · 01-08-2007 04:19PM

Joe Pasquale and Lee Evans are pretty rubbish tbh.

She sounds like a bigger dickhead than even him.

What!?! Ed Byrne is class, he might be a bit of an ars3hole, but did you see his DVD? Now that is the definision of funnyness! But I do agree with you on the Jason Byrne thing, now he is crap!

I have his DVD and I have to admit he is a smug git, but some of his jokes are priceless.
Do the Dubai and Dentist jokes spring to mind?:D

Maple · 01-08-2007 05:06PM

Ed Byrne - moron.
Harry Hill - moron.
Al Murray - moron.
