Getting a bit bored of his working class salt of the earth schtik

Jayop · 24-06-2015 10:16PM

He's funny as FK. Love the stand up DVD's I have and the new show in the car is laugh out loud funny.

I want to moonwalk son, but life's a shithouse.

He is funny, Phoenix Nights was absolute class!

biko · 24-06-2015 10:21PM

I don't. Some others might.
Not a biggie tbh.

Funny, I love him in everything else I've seen and read but never could get into Pheonix Nights.

Ricky Gervais.

I'm just stirring.

His audience are mindless retards who think him singing 'Show Me the Way to Amarillo is fantastic comedy.

Personally, I think anyone who finds Peter Kay to be 'funny' should be classified below the baseline of cognitive functioning.

He is like a One Person Crankies.

Once found myself sitting in a group of around 10 people being grilled about why I didn't find him funny.

I'm all for people getting a laugh from whatever sort of comedy does it for them, but i found it rather tricky to explain why I didn't without coming across kind of classist...

Give it another go, it's fantastic!

Fantastic comedian

His new car share programme was so good

Call Me Jimmy · 24-06-2015 10:29PM

Loved him in 'Ave it!'

anncoates · 24-06-2015 10:31PM

Liked phoenix nights but haven't really kept up with anything else. I don't really watch stand up, just find it boring

The Backwards Man · 24-06-2015 10:31PM

I watched the whole two series of Phoenix Nights in a mate's bedsit in Twinbrook drinking cans of Harp and eating chilli kebab topped pizza.

Never felt more like a target audience in my life.

unichick · 24-06-2015 10:32PM

His last TV series car share was epic. I find him very funny.

24-06-2015 10:32PM

He's up there with Lee Evans for me in the funniness stakes....i.e. not very funny at all.

citytillidie · 24-06-2015 10:32PM

No never

I think he's great. A lot of comedians have to resort to shouting and swearing to get a laugh out of people. PK is good auld fashioned comedy done very well.

As for Phoenix Nights, the scene where he gets stuck in the electric stairs lift in his home is one of the best.

efb · 24-06-2015 10:34PM

Jason Manford and Sarah Millicant, throw them in too.

Do I just not like Northern Comedians? Acting all working class when they are earning millions. Stupid juvenile humour too

Not a fan of his character stuff but the early Comedy Store set is class.

tastyt · 24-06-2015 10:37PM

The bit where he plays the songs and what he used to think the words were is some laugh in fairness.

Can't hear any of those tunes without hearing the wrong words now though!!

PandaPoo · 24-06-2015 10:39PM

I love him, probably my favourite comedian. Top 3 anyway

That Peter Kay Thing is absolutely hilarious. I cry laughing every single time.

The one about the guy having sex with dogs is just brilliant

If they come from a working class background which Kay very much does should they change because they got rich? Wouldn't that make them false more-so than still relating to working class issues?

You wont like Kevin Bridges so, stick to a safe southerner like Michael McIntyre and you'll be grand!!

On PK he had a bad spell doing that 'Geraldine' ****e but his stand ups, PK Thing, Phoenix Nights, Max and Paddy and Car Share are quality.

well their stories sound less convincing

dpofloinn · 24-06-2015 10:49PM

Surely the question should be ''Did you find Peter Kay funny?'' His time has long since passed

KilOit · 24-06-2015 10:50PM

Don't like him at all but yet i find Lee Evans and Des bishop hilarious and everyone seems to hate them, so different strokes for different folks i guess

It's been a while since I watched any Kay stand up but from memory most of it relates to his dealings with his family which have probably remained fairly constant throughout his career.

As for his sitcoms then that's like saying a rich actor shouldn't play a poor person in a film because they're not poor any more.

Do you find Peter Kay funny
