    Roy Chubby Brown.

    Any other part of a comedy act like him who needs to swear and dare to be politically incorrect to sound funny.Naturally funny & clever comedians don't need to do that.

    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:

    /thread

    Your fault. :mad:

    '?', says you.

    That I'm now aware of that tool. If I ever meet you...

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

    Okay I admit it's his voice I find irritating,apart from that he carried the Sunday morning slot well on Today FM this week.But he must be improving,certainly in the early days he wasn't very funny.

    I die a little inside every time I see David o Doherty on tv. Its usualy on some panel show where his nasal drawl monologue of unfunnynes is greted by awkward false laughter from fellow panelists.

    Ed Byrne is very annoying. I try hard to support Irish comics but cannot do this with Ed Byrne.

    I got a Jim Davidson DVD as a joke present a while back. I had to have a watch. It was a fairly recent live show...people howling with laughter at quality stuff like:

    Jokes about "Jack and Danny's" (fannies)

    Saying "You can't even say Arnold Schwarzenegger (negger said like n*gger, of course) any more without being called racist".

    Jokes about "shirt lifters" etc.

    Unbelievable stuff!

    Terribly unfunny.

    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)



    Your username has me wondering. Are you a comedian or a comedy promoter or just a big comedy enthusiast?

    Did you find it creepy that he dedicated a part of his stand up routine going on about looking at the writing on girls tracksuits pants?

    Be creepier if he knocked one out talking about it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 277 ✭✭JackieBauer


    Al Porter. His jokes are all about being gay and being from Tallaght. Branch out pal.

    Ed Byrne. Brush your teeth, have a wash and google some good jokes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    Lee Evans it has to be jasus my head would explode if I was tortured in a room having to listen to it all day and night.

    Here's a funny one though seeing that everyone is talking about all the bad ones...



  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,570 ✭✭✭The Sidewards Man


    Al Porter needs some one to give him a shot of pipe to calm him down.

    some cuunt-face from dublin,

    Yes. ANDREW MAXWELL.

    How?

    Why?

    Who..told him that if he shouts loud enough he will be funny?

    STEP 1: Get on mainstream TV, through some backdoor reality comedy big brother.

    STEP 2: Get on a panel show. smoke a pipe, edited laughter and pretend you are funny.

    STEP 3: Open a twitter account and get followers who think you are funny, (even though you are not.)

    STEP 4: Profit.

    I know: I love me a bit of whimsy but DO'D is flogging a disintegrating corpse of a horse at this stage. That 'Facts you didn't know about pandas' book. Give me strength...

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

    Her stand up is painful to watch. That whole fake low self esteem shtick is not funny. It was funny 30 years ago when Joan Rivers did it perhaps but only because you got a sense that for her it wasn't fake, that was her neurosis.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,431 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Has to be Ed Byrne. Ironically his joke about the alanis morrisette song "ironic" was his only funny joke ever.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    i think his Irish accent just about gives him a career in the UK. Just because he is Irish and therefore they think he will be funny.

    Sarah Millican, very unfunny, and a very annoying accent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,346 ✭✭✭King George VI


    I have never once seen a female stand up that was funny in any way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,642 ✭✭✭topmanamillion


    Kevin mcgahern
    The entire cast of Hardy bucks
    Conan gannon
    Any of the RTE stock "comedians" that are pulled out to host/star in panel shows or TV series.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,442 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


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

    Ah c'mon, if you're gping to be holding that against people, who would you like at all?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭Journeyman_1


    ITT: Successful comedians.

    The worst comedian is clearly someone most people haven't heard of.

    I agree , and for that reason Tommy Tiernan is awful.

    Michael McIntyre. Apparently shaking one's hair is hilarious.

    Also, that Miranda one who is bringing back slapstick comedy (banana skins and the sound of a screeching cat and dropped pots and pans). :o
