Mock The Week

Johnnytoxic · 26 Jul 2009 at 22:23

Lucy Porter is so annoying, squeaky and has very bad comedy timing. She talks way to fast.

Russell Howard. Shouting does not make you funnier.

But the rest of the show I enjoy. No I don't have any talents either.

Russell Howard is a bit dull after you get used to him, however he does come up with some solid gold material for the stand up parts.

Frankie Boyle is hilarious

I do enjoy Mock the Week, but I definitely prefer Have I Got News For You. I've never found anyone that shares my opinion though.

Dirkscooby · 26 Jul 2009 at 22:37

I also prefer Have i got news for you.
So there yer go.

I do find her nice to look at though.

I've seen her do better though, she didn't seem to be very good on that particular one

I always thought HIGNFY was by far the favourite. I don't know a single person who prefers MTW.

Frankie Boyle is funny on MTW, but his stand up is rubbish - one liner after one liner. I like stories

I agree, HIGNFY is much better.

All women comedians are below average at best.

That Lucy is terrible.

I really like frankie boyles team captain, forgotten his name. Obviously frankie is great but can get too much, I don't mind andy parsons and Russell howard although they aren't the best

Yeh, same here.

Russell Howard is pretty good, I went to see his stand-up and I was in uncontrollable laughter - he's obsessed with dogging, bristol and childish games. He's class.

Hugh Dennis? He is fantastic, unmatched in any of the improvisation rounds (in my opinion of course

). Probably my favourite on the show.

lemonkettaz · 26 Jul 2009 at 23:31

Yeh in the improv rounds he is amazing, I loved that merger one of asda and matalan, it's the voice he can put on as well its funny as

In the case of Mock the Week, afriad it is true. None manage to get more than a mediocre laugh

Johnnytoxic · 26 Jul 2009 at 23:55

The only funny woman comedien is Jo Brand, and she ain't really all woman lol.

Phatjayunoi · 27 Jul 2009 at 00:00

Hugh Dennis is awesome in the improvisation rounds, and his "Do you have car insurance?" running gags never gets old, which I guess comes to his voice and the way he always says it. The Saving Private Ryan one was absolute perfect timing. I also remember the "From the makers of Snakes On A Plane, Mice On A Tube!"

As for preferring Have I Got News For You or Mock The Week, personally I like them BOTH for different purposes. HIGNFY for the more hilarious chatter and MTW for the Spin The Wheel and Stand-Up rounds.

Hate this show.

They are all up their own backsides.

HIGNFY for the win

lemonkettaz · 27 Jul 2009 at 00:16

But your in denial

I can not stand that stupid bloody woman.

Her jokes consist of

Her being fat
Her husband
Her mariage.

And that is it, nothing original, nothing interesting.

Even her damn VOICE annoys me.

Hugh Dennis and Russell Howard make the show for me. HIGNFY is better by far though!

Oh, and Andy Parsons is genuinely painful to listen to.
