unfunniest "comedians"

He claims to be the UK equivalent of Eddie Murphy, although surely that would involve starring in films? He was on Channel 4's Top 100 worst songs (many which were actually dead good) defending his soiree into the music world (which wasn't). He was also on the Brass Eye paedophile special, sniffing keyboards and feeling "susceptible". He seems to be a particular bugbare of mine. I really dislike the man. He's also started to remind me in mannerisms of Harvey from So Solid Crew.

Danny Gans, ladies and gentlemen.

Lisa Lamapanelli

Dane Cook.

How about Lenny Bruce? No seriously, I mean he told stories, more than he delivered knee-slapping laffs. I'm trying to assume this thread isn't just about naming comedians you don't like.

try harder.

interesting pic under the lee evans one there.

Brian Reagan makes Dane Cook look like Richard Pryor.

Harry Hill. Just awful!

snoop's thinking of benny hill obv

Tringelbert Wangledack.

Never heard of him, but those Tim Vine jokes are all great.

OMG at Danny Gans!

i don't know anything about lee evans' standup but he gets a free pass for 'funny bones,' he was great in that

Tommy Fawkes (Oliver Platt) is a struggling stand-up comedian who has tried for years to get out from under the shadow of his father, George Fawkes (Jerry Lewis), himself a famous humorist. Tommy finally scores a showcase spot at a major resort in Las Vegas, but when opening night rolls around, Tommy's act is an unqualified disaster, with the failure made even more painful by his father's presence in the audience. In search of a fresh start, Tommy heads to Blackpool, England, where he was born and raised, to look for a new act. Hoping to buy material from local performers, Tommy auditions a large number of acts, most of whom are utterly hopeless, until he sees a hilarious vaudeville team, the Parker Brothers. Their act seems more than a bit familiar, however, and Tommy soon realizes that they're doing his father's old material. But they have every right to be doing George's schtick -- it seems George stole his act from the Parkers ages ago. What's more, the younger and more eccentric of the Parker Boys, Jack (Lee Evans), is actually Tommy's half brother, the product of a fling with a Blackpool showgirl years ago. Veering between comedy and drama, Funny Bones has more than its share of effective moments on either side of the fence, and features fine supporting performances from Oliver Reed, Leslie Caron and Harold Nicholas.

OMG at Danny Gans!

Yeah, that's amazingly awful stuff. I was thankfully unaware of his existence until the other day.

Thanks! Fascinatingly bad. I'm completely hooked.

Just that impersonation alone which 'welcomes' you. Good lord.

Kathy Griffin is like that sort of pop culture savvy high school theater girl who thought she was funny, but never really was and still isn't.

Harry Hill. Just awful!

lefty bandwagon and shouting, as far as i could tell.

Nothing wrong with that!

well, ok i admit he's funnier than al murray.

no 'Steamboat Fatty' on youtube sadly

Even Pete "May God Have Mercy On Your Soul If You Vote Labour" Murray was funnier than Al Murray.

All Murray, admittedly, is pretty hit and miss on telly, but his stage shows are usually great - his forte is playing every audience very specifically, a skill which gets more or less completely lost on TV.

Al Murray is just a watered down Alf Garnett. I find him (as I found AG) funny in small amounts but the joke wears thin pretty quickly.

i can't believe you all watch Al Murray

I don't, I switch it over

Hopefully not to the Froiday Noight Projact.

Spoiled for choice really

in what way? (slight return)

...Punt and Dennis...

Four years on has anyone ever met anyone who finds Punt and Dennis funny? Ever?

There were some very unfunny comedians on the Wall.

Increasingly, in this day and age, Jimmy Carr is being made to look funny.

The Now Show is a British radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4, which satirises the week's news. The show is a mixture of stand-up, sketches and songs presented by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis. The show also features skits from Jon Holmes (with jokes about his height), Laura Shavin (earlier series had Emma Kennedy, or occasionally Sue Perkins, for the female voices), a monologue (usually more of a rant) by Marcus Brigstocke, and music by Mitch Benn.

And they're up to series 24!

Four years on has anyone ever met anyone who finds Punt and Dennis funny? Ever?

finds, no. found, yes.

I rather like the now show, especially now that the brigstocke slot rotates between several comedians.

Omid Djalili = Alexei Sayle, but funny

Newsweek Nails It.

okay when the funniest people on your list are Emo Phillips (who can be legitimately funny) and Yakoff Smirnov, you have assembled some terrible, terrible comedians

lol at Carrot Top being described as a low-budget Gallagher and them BOTH being on the list
