Unfunny comedians

Being there live, it's a different atmosphere. You'll find anything funny so long as other people are laughing. Not to mention a lot of the audience have probably had a drink or three beforehand.

Meh, I find myself laughing at most comedians, even female ones. I must be easy to please.
 
Andy Parsons
Russell Howard
Frankie Boyle

Have not laughed at ANY of their jokes.

I more like comedians such as Eddie Izzard as I feel I am being educated while he makes me laugh.
 
Most of the time the shots / cutaways to the audience has no bearing on the joke told.

I.e the comedian makes a humourous quip while we see some bint rubbing the tears from her eyes. It's used to break up the monotonous front angle shot.
 
I find most comedians funny, apart from lee Evans, Peter Kay and most female comedians. I thought Live at the Apollo tonight was pretty good :). Micky Flanagan is one of my favorite comedians.
 
We've got to love Frankie Boyle for his downright un'political' views on just about everything. Love that.

'Got on the tube today, all the seats were taken but one, sat down in it, and found that when I prayed loudly to Allah, I got the whole coach to myself!' :D
 
I was at Rockness this year, which had a comedy tent.

Went on the Sunday, hanging, the first 4/5 comedians got literally ignored or boo'd off the stage to the point one started flipping out calling the audience a bunch of ignorant ****.

Was such an awkward place to be, but they were terribly bad!
 
Went watching Peter Kay last year first time going to a massive comedian in a arena, he was ok but some of the jokes, I didnt laugh yet everyone around me seemed to laugh constantly, maybe its being in an arena with 25,000 people but it was a weird.

Frankie Boyle is a genius in stand up terms.

Frankie Boyle is a misgiuded idiot in translating his stand up into a tv show.

Pheonix Nights is possibly the greatest 12 episodes of Sit Com ever (aside from FT) and i dont see why Kay doesnt mend bridges and try for a 3rd rather than his tired stand up act.
 
Victoria Wood and Jo Brand are funny standup.

Andy Parsons is deeply unfunny. Everything he's ever done is recycled.
I don't like Tim Minchin, seems pretty up himself for someone so run-of-the-mill.
Rhod Gilbert struggles with jokes, but his observational stuff is excellent.

The worst comedien I've ever seen was Phil Jupitus at Up The Creek.
Unfunny, couldn't handle heckling, crude without the jokes. Would have been considered poor in the 70s, and not even noteworthy these days.

Yup, was into Peter Kay when he was doing his services show on CH4 in 1999, was a massive fan and loved all his tv shows after that apart from that x factor spoof one, his best stand up is at the Blackpool tower, after that its a bit samey.
