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?

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.

Is that you Jason Byrne?

Possibly the best comedian around at the moment. Not just the world's 41st best stand up.

Must have got them mixed up because they were just as unfunny as each other.

Oh yeah, that's it. Not that you think all black people look the same! I'm surprised you didn't think Chris Rock was the guy from the Cosby Show! :pac:

Has to be the most under rated and under appreciated. No one can do it like him. I think most people just dont give him the chance to see what hes doing.

Jesus! I used to do a wee bit of stand up and was hoping to get back into it when I go to canada but this thread would put you off even considering it. Nothing's funny apparently.
I can understand people with strong feelings on this though. Bland, boring cuts like Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre, John bishop, Russell Howard etc... are destroying comedy.
