You are kidding aren't you? Never heard of The Mary Whitehouse Experience? though he was in that awful sitcom, My Hero, aswell.

Can't remember his name, but I rate the guy who's not a regular cast member the best. Always laughing and telling weird stories. He's a bit posh.

Michael McIntyre?

I LOVE Michael McIntyre, huge fan. His comedy store special is awesome

Hope I'm that funny one day

Nah I quite like this guy.. he plays on his odd looks and is quite witty sometimes, the bald cockney guy is the least funny imo

He was in that god awful series about a crap superhero.

Andy does suck, I hate how he stretches out the length of his 'jokes'.

I like Howard, in the same surreal vein (but no where near as good) as Ross Noble and Eddie Izzard.

I watched it once, that was enough.

Yep I agree with both points!

Then again Ross Noble can be known for stretching a joke... Meat flaps?

Tummy · 6 Oct 2008 at 10:58

I Like him, I don't understand all the hate he gets, he can come out with some really funny one liners and rants.

I Agree with Frankie been the "funniest" on the show.

But Ross does it with finesse

I <3 Noble, saw Nobleism live end of 2007, and it was the funniest thing ever

Yes! Love him. Consistently funny. I usually hate it when comedians laugh at their own jokes but the way he does it it's just hilarious.

Saw him a couple of weeks ago and it was one of the best stand-up shows I've ever seen. He's manic on stage, like an over-excited child, and is really good at improv - apparently we (Basingstoke gig) asked him the most surreal questions he'd ever had in the Q&A at the end. His routine is honest and heartfelt, drawing on experiences you just know to be true, and I laughed a lot.

AdamEW · 6 Oct 2008 at 11:52

I used to really enjoy the radio show Russell Howard and Jon Richardson used to do on a Sunday morning on 6 music, he's certainly more amusing than Andy Parsons (in my opinion)

VonClinkerhofen · 6 Oct 2008 at 11:56

I don't get Russell Howard at all. He was on the Secret Policemans Ball last night and I never even came close to laughing at him. I do like Andy Parsons though, lots of people seem to be down on him. He's great on that show on Radio 2, good week/bad week or something

You guys are losing it, how long until somebody noticed this guy was new? :eek:

I think he's great. Clearly more into observational humour than the others, which is generally more interesting than the simple 'knob' gags.

Frankie is also good, though he simply goes for the shocks.

Hugh Dennis is OK, but he's the most dated and predictable of the lot...

CLAIMED!

You are my first, you've taken my cherry.... right off!

You won't be my last... MWAHAHA

Master_X · 6 Oct 2008 at 11:58

I think he is brilliant better then that other idot Hugh Dennis who i cant stand..

Who said it was funny? I thought we actually got to keep them?

Can't he go do my bidding for me now, I mean... that's the whole point right?.... right?
