Humour that irritates you.

I'll give you a good example.

I was driving home from Herefordshire today, and we arrived at a town called 'Shucknall'. The wife said to me 'Mick Shucknall'.

Now it's really annoying and you don't want to laugh, but you can't help it.

Other examples?

Anything said by a woman trying to be funny, ever.

Oh and the usual "groaners" like that bee pee joke in here the other day

"Better out than in"....springs to mind

Ovaries, from orbit, kill it with fire *yawns*

EDIT: hang on they irritate me and never make me laugh

Ricky Gervais. I'm sorry, he's just not even slightly amusing.

I have to agree. I'm not a fan.

I hate people who try to sanitise politically incorrect jokes and still think they're funny! Hello, the reason it was funny in the first place is because it was politically incorrect you morons.

I find most humour nowadays irritating. Though I think I'm the only one to find Little Britain tiresome after a while.

As a muslim, of course, it's racist jokes. Although due to the prevalence of them, I can turn a blind eye most of the time. But on some days, they really get to me.

Why? Is Islam suddenly a race now and not a religion?

Not the only one. You can only hear "I want that one" so many times...

I never really liked it much at all tbh. Didn't really see the amusement in it.

For a really funny TV series, something like Red Dwarf is much more my thing.

Crude scripted lowest common denominator jokes a la 'friday night project' = awful and irritating

Well, how about "Religious Intolerance", no need to be a pedant.

I believe I fall under the category of "****", when it comes to race. :mad:
