Jokes by stand-up comedians that have been done to death

Welsh Megaman

Heard a stand-up comedian on the radio the other day (didn't catch his name) who 'dissected' the song 'Ironic' by Alanis Morrisette as part of his routine - noting that the things she mentions aren't actually ironic, the punchline being the fact a song called 'Ironic' with non-ironic situations is in itself ironic.

:rolleyes: I rolled my eyes back so far, I snapped my optic nerves. Practically every comedian, from Sean Hughes to Ed Byrne to Abie Philip Bowman to Jo Brand, has talked about 'Ironic' in their routine, to the point where it is no longer funny.

Also jokes about 'Bully's Special Prize' in 'Bullseye' always being a speedboat.

Done. To. Death.

So boardsies, what topics have comedians told waaaaaay too many times, and should never be discussed again?

"while It probably isn't funny if I simply say it, it's like said to that comedy anal polyp who likes to laugh at his own unfunny jokes, Jason Byrne, EVERYTHING IS FECKIN' HI-LARIOUS IF I SHOUT IT AT YOU!!!!!!

Jewish American comics who base their whole act around being Jewish "we were the only Jews in an Italian neighbourhood " etc.

Ando's Saggy Bottom

Some comedian needs yo come up with a routine along the lines of most comedians having unfunny, unoriginal jokes.

Jimmy Garlic

Everything by Des Bishop = Done to death and unfunny.

Tommy Tiernan is a pain in the rectum and extremely unfunny. His entire act consists of shouting and swearing to prove how "mad" he is.

Andrew Maxwell, what's the point of him? Funerals are funnier.

Neil Delemere, reminds me of a dick I went to school with who thought he was funny, but wasn't.

The bottom line is half decent Irish comedians go to London and base themselves there. The sh!te ones never stray too far away from home.

I don't mind comedians using the same jokes within a year or so, but after that if they haven't made up something else it's just flippin lazy.

A few comedians I've seen at the Cat Laughs in Kilkenny do the same sheeite over and over, generally the whole "oh my God you guys love to drink man", gets a bit jaded after a while.

He's not one bit funny either.

Reg D. Hunter??? The man's a great comic who does a whole lot more than jokes about race.

As opposed to all the Irish comedians who base their comedy around being from Ireland?

"IT'S MAD CAUSE IT'S IN IRELAND!!! WE'RE IRISH, SURE WE'RE MAD. THEY DON'T DO MAD THINGS LIKE US IN EUROPE, BUT WE DO CAUSE WE'RE MAD, CAUSE WE'RE IRISH!" etc. etc.

SOMEBODY CALL THE COMEDY POLICE!!! :mad:

Seen Andrew Maxwell say the same joke about some monkey escaping from Dublin zoo twice. It wasn't funny the first time and it still wasn't funny the second time. It was like an article you'd read in thejournal.

Michael McIntyre's jokes about his kids.

Female comedians who base their entire routine around their mothers!
