So last night after coming home from a gruelling hours 6 a side game I come home to find Mrs P and daughter watching the Miranda box set !!!??? WTF how many times can you find a fat woman with a stupid haircut falling over funny anyway this got me thinking of the worst comedian and how bad comedy is now
so top 3 worst comics at the moment
Miranda Hart Sarah F ucking Milligan David Williams - yes we know your camp it aint funny so feck off
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles
Brian Moore
Here's a GOOD ONE. John Shuttleworth anyone? (Graham Fellows in real life)
From the north, but very funny and clever, got his material from demo tapes sent to him when he was working for a music agent.
Modelled the Shuttleworth character, his Yamaha organ, and Pigeons In Flight theme tune, - (plus his agent Ken) on people he saw around him at work.
Real people are often better source of comic material than anything imagined. Yer couldn't make it up.

Bought a house on a small island in Orkney (Rousay pop. circa 200, Will Self had one there too) and was building a recording studio etc. Not sure if he's still here tbh
We used to go and see The Krankies every summer as kids, Fandabi Dosi!! Speaking of Northern comedians me and DistortR went to see Les Dawson as teenagers and I had to translate for him and his mum. I laughed anyway
The Fast Show was brilliant. Superb writing.Remember the Xmas special with the really sad monologue from Rowley Birkin QC and I think Ted's wife died too. Even the lesser known characters were brilliant.'Hardest game in the world' fella and Competitive Dad..
Jim Davidson. Smug, sexist, right-wing, racist and completely unfunny*
Frankie Boyle. Smug, sexist, LEFT-wing, racist and completely funny.
....Discuss.
mmm well i've read some of Frankie's books and I certainly wouldn't say he is racist or sexist (maybe a bit smug). The bloke knows what he's on about, although it's the only book i've ever read thats made me half laugh half gasp in a kind of shock horror. "Did he really just write that?". It was great.
“The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.â€
Yeah. I did. Had the great misfortune of seeing him over 20 years ago in Devon while touring on a motorbike in that neck of the woods. My mate was a great fan of his and unknown to me got tickets to see him while we were there. I'd heard tapes of his beforehand and was totally unimpressed. The show was a no show in my opinion. A great big awkward hairy Cornish lummox. A west country version of Roy Chubby Brown. Every other word was an expletive 'feerk this, cueernt that' all said with his tongue seemingly hanging out. Hated him.Felt sorry for my mate who wasted money to see that idiot.
“If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.” it wasnt funny then and it wasnt funny when i heard some witless amoeba assasin repeat it on the train rthis morning , some 15 years after you first said it. utter 'right on , down with the kids , when im fat and forty , listenind to travis ' shit

me as well still cant belive the crankies were into wife swapping feel sick jus thinking about it
In 1985 when I was 18 I was on a lads holiday to Devon, we went in a nightclub in Torquay which had a VIP lounge, on the way out the krankies walked out of it, was quite funny seeing them run up the road as a load of pissed blokes shouted out "fandabbydozy"
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL

This.
I think you have to spend some significant time in Glasgow and / or with Glaswegians to appreciate how dark their humour is.
Frankie Boyle is definitely part of this heritage but has his own take on things.
The sit down bits of Mock the Week are (quelle surprise) largely scripted but the stand up bits aren't. If you want to see how god FB is, look at his peers' reaction to the stand-up material. (Available on Dave, ad nauseum.)
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.
I despair at modern humour. I read this morning that the funniest joke at this year's Edinburgh Festival was voted: “ I dated a zookeeper, but he turned out to be a cheetah” Yeah, roll over Chic Murray, Tony Hancock et al.
Oh yeah, Fielding is just a not funny in any way... Kind of looks like he should be, but just isn't. I saw him on the box briefly whilst channel hopping the other night and thought exactly the same as you.
seems to have stolen a living by appearing on all those programmes like 8 out of 10 cats/Never Mind the Buzzcocks (Why did you bother bringing that one back Sky???). And then appears randomly as a regular on Bake Off ... when I'm sure he knows absolutely nothing about baking (bizarre!).
