Omid Jalili, anyone else sick of him

[Sone]

After seeing the guy on telly and thought he was pretty funny i went to see his stand up act, it was poo. (this was 2 or 3 years ago)

He only seems to have the one joke, talk in a middle eastern accent then put on and English. His other favourites are dancing like a knob and make jokes about screaming over the top middle easterners, although calling these jokes is an insult even to monkeypants.

After he had seemingly dissapeared the little bar steward is now back with a vengance

im no fan but if i dont like a comedian then i dont watch them.

if he is appearing in stuff then he obviously has an audience.

why dont you email his agent and voice your concerns?

 

[neil3k]

Send him back

 

[unwashed potato!]

sounds like ricky gervois, on tv very funny, stand up is complete opposite

 

[Bubo]

As far as I know he made an extremely brief appearance in Gladiatior and has been dining out on that ever since.

And The Mummy, mean machine and Pirates of the carribean.

I went to see him stand up, had a great night and everyone thought he was great entertainment. He's gonna lose a lot of material though once we start bombing Iran.

Hes alright, i dont like his stand up, but the channel 4 documentaries he did were fantastic.

 

[Phog]

He was awful on Have I got news for you I thought. Really cringeworthy and awkward jokes. Especially the ones about his Iranian heritage...

I thought that Gervais' stand up was hilarious

that may be so but i too would be thrilled at the fact that during the scene in which Oliver reed grabs his balls, the cameras cut for the next scene and Mr reed continued with a fervent firm grip on them whilst drinking a cup of tea. personally i quite like the guy, i think hes a bright fellow and a good symbol.

 

[Freefaller]

I find him really amusing.

But each to their own, everyone has their bad moments. Overall though I think he's great fun.

 

[gambitt]

He's a genius!

His stand up acts are similar (uses the same jokes) but just watch the one and you'll love it hey

And The Mummy, mean machine and Pirates of the carribean.

where was he in Pirates?
I think he's amusing

 

[Drizmod]

Funny guy I would say.

wasnt he also in star wars 1? as that slave owner (doing the voice)

Gervais... and wrong. All his shows have been hilarious. His DVDs were amd he was when I saw him live.

 

[Reed]

Every time I've seen him on tv he's been really funny imo. Have I Got News For You wasn't great to be honest but i usually find him really entertaining.

 

[MarcLister]

Nope. I think Omid is quite funny. Something different in terms of comedy.

Nah that was Andrew Secombe, but similar sounding.

I think Omid Djalili is really funny, and looking at imdb here has done a lot:- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0229084/

I don't think he's at all liker Gervais. Jalili is funny

 

[Edinho]

To be fair all comedians have the same personalised repeated jokes. Think hes quite funny, hes a good observer and good at showing how stupidly prejudice, ignorant all societies can be.
