Comedians with straight faces

Paul Merton, funny guy and quite witty; I like him. I just cannot sit there laughing when the camera stays fixed on his dead straight face...

There are others too... Ian Hislop sits on the other side and has a right chuckle

Doesn't Ian Hislop have a fairly round face?

You said that without cracking a smile... I can tell

Marky · 6 Nov 2016 at 21:06

It's called Deadpan

No you're thinking of Deadpool. Great film. Very funny.

If he had a long face, he'd be a horse.

Jimmy Carr? At least I think so. When he's telling the one liners.

*prepares for the fire*

I get that, I just find it very odd.

Jack Dee, not just straight faced but downright miserable - perfect!

I'm always straightfaced when Jimmy Carr is speaking - don't find him funny at all.

Joe Wilkinson is very straight faced, but plays stupid rather than miserable. I find him very funny.

I dont find the guy funny at all, almost to the point he irritates me
Jimmy Carr seems to love him though.

Milton Jones. 100%.

Adam Scott is pretty deadpan

Bickaxe · 6 Nov 2016 at 23:45

Rich Hall and Milton Jones spring to mind

Shaun Lock from 8 out of 10 cats is deadpan and monotone but hilarious

Jack Dee is great!

One of my favourite comedy styles.

I fell upon a stand up routine of Jimmy Carr on Netflix... Man he's a sick guy lol.

Jack Dee is the master of the Deadpan, always has been. Great comedian and still just as funny as he was in the 90's

Paul Merton on HIGNFY does it best. Jack Dee is a close second. Personally I like Ricky Gervais, precisely because he's not deadpan, the faces he pulls are hilarious.
