Blueberry Head is even worse.

I thought for sure my name woulda been on here.
I second Mike Bullard, though.

New Zealand is v good at producing unfunny commedians. Anyone who has watched anystandup show will know what I mean, and all those ones on TV1. especially Willynilly and all who sail in it.

The Thin Blue Line was absolutely devoid of redeeming features.

i think it deserves some respect for the line "your cockup, my arse!"

David Cross. Yeah, 'hipster', you heard me.

Jackie Mason was pretty good as Krusty's rabbi dad on The Simpsons, though.

Graham Norton, Julian Clarey.

Homophone much? ;)

Anyway, Julian Clary has his moments.

David Cross is good as a comedic actor (see Arrested Development), but David Cross as David Cross, well, it's a little much, and pretty forced.

I love Gilbert Gottfried, personally, but I can see how some might find him irritating.

Ricahrd Blackwood is more a presenter than a comedian per se. He hasn't been on telly this century, has he?

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.

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.

B'wana Beast, Monday, 21 April 2008 08:13 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

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

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 April 2008 21:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Thanks! Fascinatingly bad. I'm completely hooked.

BigLurks, Monday, 21 April 2008 21:28 (fifteen years ago) link

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

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 April 2008 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link

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.
