    Is there anyone on TV who you really don't understand how on earth they managed to get there?

    Watching an old episode of HIGNFY atm and Ross Noble is a guest. He's considered to be a comedian but he's not very funny, is he?

    I know it's all subjective etc; but.. c'mon. All he does is shake his stupid greasy lookin' head and shout in silly accents like an escaped mental patient. Does he even do standup? He only ever seems to pop up on QI and the like.

    Russel Brand and Russel Howard are another two... they're not funny are they? Howard is one of the most irritating people I can imagine.

    Is there anyone whose name does not begin with the letter R that you find completely impossible to listen to or watch?

    And why do I keep watch Dave?

    Noble is a funny guy, surreal stuff, but funny

    Brand is a cock, but is very smart and despite myself I find him very funny on occasion

    Howard is funny but trys too hard

    Ryan Tubridy. It's like he's wearing a mask...but he never takes the mask off.



    Mammy, make the man take his mask off.

    Any woman comedian. I'm afraid they're just not funny, just put in for a bit of eye candy most of the time. Not being sexist, just the way it is..

    You just don't like Ru or Ro sounds.

    How about Ross O Carroll Kelly? Ros na Rún? Russell Watson?

    Miranda Harte and Sarah Millican spring to mind. The latter is constantly on every panel show going.

    He's a strange one. Loved him when he had his own chat show on the BBC, but when he moved to ITV, he instantly stopped being funny for me :confused:

    Both Russell Brand and Russell Howard are funny. Brand is particularly hilarious.

    I don't understand how Ryan Tubridy got the Late Late.
