Unfunny comedians

jimmy carr is funny and also the way he plays with words, i didn't understand it when he said "i must explain the shirt (i'm wearing), i'm not gay unless ur from newcastle and by gay u men "owns a coat" "

alan carr is entertaining as stand-up some of his stories are very funny.

i think jimmy and alan are brothers.

A lot of it is due to intelligence, smarter people will understand some things that will completely go over others heads and they therefore will not see the funny, it also works the opposite way, smarter people won't find certain things funny as it will be below them, this is why people with lower intelligence think Ricky Gervais is funny, Gervais laughs after everything he says so these people get a cue when to see the 'Funny' and think they should laugh.

Lol, what garbage. I don't want to bring intelligence into it, but since you have, then I'd be inclined to say that people with lower intelligence are far LESS likely to get the humour of ricky gervais or larry david, and are more likely to just get those in your face comics who swear a lot for cheap laughs, such as russell bland.
 
Some 'stand-ups' are way better on panel-shows i find.

My favourite comedian is a fight between Billy Connolly and the late great George Carlin.

I hate ALL female comedians. blah blah blah, period, blah blah blah saggy ****, blah blah blah tampons ETC ETC ETC

Joan Rivers made me laugh once tbf, but only once.

Jason Byrne. To be fair only watched him once on last nights Live At The Apollo.
I know sex can be funny in comedy but it was like someone told this guy it's the only thing which people find amusing.

It was dire and we couldn't wait for it to end.

Shame as Micky Flanagan hosted it and he is very funny.

Oh and Lee Evans. Cannot stand him.

I was watching Ross noble earlier and some woman made the most cringeworthy heckle, Interurptuted ross during a sentance and shouted "I have a request" he goes off on a bit of a tangent like he does she shouts again "I have a request" what is your request he says, then she says "can you just say happy birthday to (girl sat next to her). Croud were booing and he ripped in to her :p

And yet in a thread about Art you say this:

Some of those Paralympics ones look like they were painted with the artists left foot. Tracy Emin must've spent all of 4 seconds on her effort too.

The UK should MTFU and say, sorry World, we're not doing the Olympics, it's going to cost way too much money, we all need to tighten our belts and it'll be completely crap anyway.

Lolympics.

Surely by your theory intelligent people will get the art because thick people won't?
 
I love ross noble, his ability to think on his feet rather than having a fully scripted show is great.
 
On a slightly related note i was looking to see some kind of tour from the We Are Klang guys, but there doesn't seem to be anything in the works. I have seen Greg Davies live before and he was first class.
 
Russell Howard is terrible.
Tim Minchin is a talented musician but an awful comedian.
Ross Noble i just don't find funny at all...
