    Which comedians do you think are the least funny?

    I'm going to post some clips, but for the love of God, don't watch them.

    Imran Yusuf (UK)



    Howie Mandel (Canada)

    Al Porter

    The most un-funniest person to ever grace the air waves or television screens. He's not going away either, :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Ricky Gervais. He's just not funny, he's annoying.
    John Bishop. That thick scouse accent just hurts my ears.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    Lee Evans.

    The only thing funny about that man is his inability to find a working anti-perspirant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,824 ✭✭✭FanadMan


    The previous 3 but Al Porter worst of all!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 301 ✭✭GarH

    I saw him Al Porter perform live in a pub in Dublin a couple of years back.

    My friend couldn't believe that the audience found him as a funny as they acted.

    He thought the reason people were laughing was a way of overcompensating for the years that anti-gay sentiment was legally enshrined in Ireland (sex between gay men being illegal until 1993, for example).

    As in, whoever laughed the hardest at this very camp comedian was the least homophobic!

    Yeah, The PC brigade has taken over. He must be funny, lest anyone who doesn't think so must be a homophobe.... It seems these days that people are tripping over themselves around gay people out of fear of being accused being homophobic.

    Lee Evans. Dane Cook.


    Mostly Dane Cook.

    Not really suited to this forum. To AH it is!


    PS Al Porter is seriously crap. Won't even attach the label comedian to him!

    Why not ask who are the best ones?

    This is a golden age for stand up comedy ffs.

    some cuunt-face from dublin,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    Eddie Izzard.

    No idea how anyone can find him funny.

    Stewart Lee another.

    All subjective though I suppose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,488 ✭✭✭Andre 3000


    Larry David


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    I'm fairly sure Billy Connolly rode me Ma before she met me Da. So yeah, he's the worst.

    What are you, some kind of schmohawk?

    LD is hilarious. A bit shouty, but very funny and clever all the same.

    Jason Byrne.
    With his stupid auld Dublin woman accent all the time.
    How they like him in England is beyond me.
    Just not funny.


    I did like that anonymous show though

    I used to think that Bernard O Shea was the most unfunny comedian in Ireland,then along came Al Porter.brutal is not the word for him.

    Seinfeld was decent but Curb has to be one of the most boring and predictable shows going. That plus the jokes just aren't that good. Each to their own I guess

    Andrew maxwell
    Fred Cooke (so annoying)
    Al porter (the gay best friend type)

    Saw him recent enough. Very impressed with his improv. Spent half the set just bouncing jokes off the audience's stories and stuff

    I didn't really want a debate, I just wanted people to rant over who they didn't like. But OK.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,443 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Subjective topic. Impossible to give an answer.

    Michael McIntyre.

    /thread.

    Sarah Silverberg is worse but Frankie Boyle and Stewart Lee annoy me more, if I wanted to be lectured at by rich white men I would read them when they write in the Guardian.

    Irish wise, definitely McSavage, lived in Dublin city center and was exposed regularly to his street comedy and saw a few free shows of his, used to never have new material.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,943 ✭✭✭ballsymchugh


    Amy schumer. Although for some reason it's frowned upon in some circles to say anything against her either. Jaysis she's shyte.
