Any `Comic` after 1985 when Ben Elton started `Alternative` Comedy. The alternative was that it wasnt funny.

Infomaniac must be about 24 then I guess as he missed Manning who had the best delivery of a joke of all time. Great comedian.

Taken from the Absolute definitive list ©, which is also now resurrected for you delectation.

********************** THIS LOT ARE 1/10 ********************************
Dominic Holland Gets on 50/100 greatest type shows to opine. How? Hugely unfunny.
Justin Lee-Collins Simply dreadful.
Roy Walker crap comic, even worse quiz show shouter, sorry, host.
Cheech and Chong Lots of smoking drugs.... That's it!
Gregor Fisher can't understand a word he says
Patrick Kielty Very sad about his dad, but it didn't make him as funny as he thinks it did.
Russell Brand Just not funny
Keith Harris and Orville Fancy being upstaged by your own puppet.
Cannon and Ball If only those braces had been tighter.
Dom Joly Pranks (hehehe, not) on the unsuspecting, just annoying
Ricky Grover being big, fat, and aggressive ex-boxer do not a funny man make.
the Mighty Boosh BBC3. Says it all. Couldn't even smile at these people
Mike and Bernie Winters. EeeeeeeEEEEEEEeeeeeee. And a dog. Does anyone remember ANYTHING else they ever said or did? doubtful
Tony Slattery Smug, and the poorest member of whose line is it anyway.
Little and Large No explanation needed
Les Dennis was in the shadow of Dustin Gee, who sadly died. Still in it.
David Baddiel Lucky man, fairly talentless, but had 2 good partners
Roland Rivron I've met him, he's the same off stage/screen as on it. Thinks holding a glass of wine makes him amusing.
Stewart Lee Must be the most over-rated comedian performing today.
[b**DeGeneres[/b] One of a host of proud lesbian comics(?)
Sue Perkins See E DeGeneres
Rhona Cameron See E. DeGeneres
Helen Lederer Only famous because she looks a bit weird.

Being from Liverpool does NOT mean you're automatically a comedian, quite the opposite in my experience
Tom O'Connor From Liverpool. He refused to tell 'blue' jokes, a mistake
Stan Boardman I saw him once. I asked for my money back. From Liverpool
Jimmy Tarbuck From Liverpool. Is Golf so hilarious? I think not.
Arthur Askey I thang Yew. From Liverpool, not even funny in his day.

* Eddie Izzard; whatever the joke is I don't get him (her?)
* Bill Bailey; not funny. he looks like the hippie you knew at school
who still stinks of patchouli and wears Roger Dean t-shirts in his 40s
* Lee Evans; a Norman Wisdom for the new millennium when one
childish grotesque bast4rd offspring of Mr Grimsdale is one too

Well I saw Manning plenty of times on the TV in the early 70s and I simply didn't find him funny. It was embarrassing to be honest.

I've heard one from Manning that did make me laugh.

Chubby fking Brown on the other hand never succeeded in doing so.

Lenny Henry also a great call.

Andy Parsons is truly awful. Never says anything funny and it takes him ages to say it as well.
David Baddiel is extremely lucky hes had a couple of excellent partners as apart from the "thats your mum that is" hes never been in the slightest bit funny.

It would be easier saying which one makes me laugh...Frank Skinner.

The vast majority of the others are just the 'Emperors New Clothes.'

Bob Monkhouse was good though.

Apart from the obvious awful noninations, ie Russel Howard, Andy Parsons, Gena Yashara

In no particular order the following are rank and deserve mention:

Reg D Hunter = unfunny American
Jethro - professional Cornishman
Ben Elton - mockney cnut
Phil Jupitas - unfunny tub o lard

Although not a comedian as such, can't go without mentioning Corden !!
