Did he finally say something funny. Maybe it was shock.

the worst human being on the planet is Seth McFarlane

hahaha maybe he's bad, but... i dunno... have you ever REALLY seen/listened to Ed Byrne though - he's like the guy in everyones office/school that always has to have the last say in a joke... points out the obvious a LOT and ends up ruining what would be the joke from another comedian. he is especially annoying when he pops up on a panel show.... UUUGH he's so cringe.

ive seen him live 3 times. I like him. Must be my sense of humor is not as advanced as yours.

he has a knack of pointing out the obvious. one of my favorite routines is his one on Ironic

Fact is everyone has their likes and dislikes in life and tastes vary for everyone in comedy. Personally I'm not a big Ed fan, like i mentioned previously I just hate the look of him initially and his smugness but me off. I too hate when he is on panel shows as i just don't find him funny, but rather arrogant.

I do too, think he's great. His stand up is much better than the shite you get on shows like mock the week and when you compare him to big name comedians like Michael McIntyre, Peter Kay, John Bishop etc... he's a comedy wizard.

No. He's really not

Ed Byrne is about as funny as cancer.

In life i tend to judge alot of people by there looks, i know its not a good thing. If ya look like a prick before i even speak to you, ill assume your a prick. Ed Byrne looks like a huge smug prick, which is unfortunate for him. Ill never give him much of a chance.

Ed is not funny. He does try so damn hard though.

Ill be honest, I judged Ed Byrne before i heard much of his stand up. His look annoyed me and he always came off smug though his observations are good, I just could never warm to him. Being the stubborn guy that I am i will probably always think that since he looks like a prick, that therefore he is a prick.

Here's hoping you're never called for jury service

I think he lives near Stansted airport. About the only thing about him that amuses me.

But I might be thinking about someone else.

The thing is most of that stuff is somewhat scripted. they might do the same gag a few times to get it right.

Its not as off the cuff as they make it seem

Well that's a damning indictment because it doesnt seem off the cuff at all. I really dont like MOW, it's so obviously scripted they might as well let them have prompt cards in front of them.
The way they try to wedge the jokes in so that it appears the just came out naturally is terribly awkward and forced as well.
I've nothing against scripted shows themselves, sure you could argue that stand up is scripted, but MOW just does it so badly.
It's a pity as well because they have three or four excellent, witty and quick comedians on the panel

Did they faint or did he put them to sleep out of boredom...

Well that really depends on whose cancer it is.
Have you ever actually seen any of his stand up shows, they're bloody good and the huge crowds of people laughing the whole way through them would agree with me.

I'd say they are easily pleased folk who would laugh at any celebrity. Or 'thickos' if you like.

The Pheasant2

I think he's fine, not great but watchable - always get a couple of laughs at least...Lee Evans or Jack Whitehall on the other hand...bastards...

God, you're really reaching now.
Have you ever actually seen any of his proper stand up shows. He's actually a pretty good comedian. Not the best but definitely not deserving of this bile.
I wonder where it comes from.

Now there's a man who makes me laugh, in that I find it hilarious that he's working as a comedian.

My problem is I don't like ED personally, his look and smugness get under my skin. These lads mentioned above aren't my cup of tea either but id easily watch these guys as they seem more likeable. None of the make me double up in fits of giggles (well Peter Kay did in Phoenix Nights) but I don't hate them. Ed Byrne just comes off an arrogant dickhead with an undeserved sense of accomplishment any time i see him.

Too Tough To Die

I have very little time for modern comedians. Miss the likes of Bob Monkhouse, Dave Allen and Frank Carson. Proper comedians.

Don't wanna hear about some cnuts faulty toaster.

Ive seen enough of his stand up and appearances on panel shows to say the personality he portrays on stage is not for me.

He's not a good comedian...the only thing funny about him is his haircut which also makes him look like a nonce.

Anybody who thinks he's funny is indeed a thicko.

I used to go out with a girl whose sister had similar hair to him...we rechristened her Ed Byrne untill she grew so unhappy she cut it all off.

What comedians do you like? Your abrasive and cutting style of post reminds me in many ways of David McSavage.
