Kelly Monteith, some previously unheard of American who for, whatever reason, was given a series! Will never forget the funniest of quips, where he talked of staying in and balling socks, which was rewarded by hysterical (presumably canned) laughter! |
|
By:
....who, for whatever reason, was given his own series.

Josh Widdicombe and Andy Parsons tbf must have bollox the size of elephants to go on stage. Two of the most unfunny people on the face of this earth

johnny vaughan,was in htis late night thing that he hosted,died on his arse and the fear as he realised he had fck all to say,none of it funny....
|

By:
Charlie Drake as earlier mentioned.....
"Hello my darlings" and everyone fell apart! Dad thought he was funny, and tried to do an impersonation, but was useless! Hilda Baker..."she knows you know" and everyone fell apart. Norman Collier...the Club Concert Secretary with the bro**n micr*ph*ne.... The car window prop....same thing every time, and yet people still laughed! |
|
By:
No mention of John Bishop? I find him as funny as a heart attack.
|

By:
Me too trilby, I just don't get him at all.

McIntyre wins this hard held. How folks part with money to see him beggars belief

Can't believe I'm seeing someone knocking Armstrong and Miller, I thought they were great and wish they did more shows.
There doesn't seem to be any shows like that on at all now? :( Like Mitchell and Webb, Fast Show, i.e. proper sketch shows? Can't think of any for years. Just comedy panel shows now? Which are all of course now "gender balanced", so Katherine Ryan is on everything as she is a genuinely funny quick talented woman, but then you have people on making up the numbers like the Irish woman on 8 out of 10 cats. Who ... isn't. |

I was on a Cruise to New York last year, and the comedian for the first night was the aforementioned Kelly Monteith.
Died on his ass for the first 20 mins, but he slightly improved and got a few sympathetic laughs at the end. |
|
By:
Just googled him he's 74 now!
Kelly Monteith 1982, entire show, via the magic of the youtube time machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6HAO2wl3ws |
|
By:
Been watching for a few minutes, he's a lot funnier than Macintyre, not bad.
|
|
By:
I liked Kelly.
|
|
By:
That show has 12k hits. In the side bar we have "Bra-less Liz Hurley befuddles Billy Connolly at the BAFTAs! ".. .7.2 million hits.
Men are a bit sad aren't they :) |
|
By:
The female form is a wonderous thing, I wouldn't describe Degas or William Russell Flint as sad.
 |
|
By:
Surprised it's as high as 12k tbh.
|
|
By:
Watch the rest of that Kelly Monteith episode, it got better, genuine LOLs actually, he was pretty funny.
|

Sara Pascoe was on telly after the news a few weeks ago.
I found more hilarity in Kim Jong Un's haircut. |
|
By:
Pascoe, I was trying to remember her name. Yes I don't get it - is she supposed to be funny? She was on that also unfunny Frankie Boyle thing, she just seemed a bitter angry leftie. Not a fan of Boyle these days as he's gone right up his own arras and has become a very smug very predtictable leftie (which is why Pascoe is his female "gender balanced" sidekick), but at least he made me laugh years ago. oooh I don't like Trump Brexit and May, how ground breaking.

Jenny Eclair...I have a vagina.....cue hilarity
|
|
By:
Most of the names cited here are indefensible. Well done.
the awful unfunny c*** with the cross eyes - Yes, rommell, assume you mean Jimmy Carr. Personally, I have never liked comedians resorting to silly voices or unwarranted manic behaviour, so wish to nominate Robin Williams into this hall of fame. |
|
By:
ub,russell howard
|
|
By:
Yeah, he deserves a namecheck too.
|
|
By:
miss eclair is a great shout,was in this sh** set in a theatre,with some other mug just pulling a face,criminally unfunny
|
|
By:
Can't argue with that, rommel, Jenny Eclair has had a good ride and is unfunny.
More contentiously - and just to confirm those who may have binned them already,French and Saunders. Ab Fab was only funny if you could pretend that Jennifer Saunders was twenty years younger than Jennifer Saunders. And I have always struggled with the concept of The Vicar Of Dibley, since Dawn French never convinced anyone that she believes in God. |

how the lumley fckn mutt has ever had a camera pointed at her or be allowed on a stage,then she fancies a bridge over the thames and her pal boris waves his fckn wand

Ricky Gervais and not only is gervais unfunny but a complete smug **** to boot.. |

Reeves & Mortimer

Stewart Lee - just awful. Smug and superior. Not funny. Not intelligent.

steve wright plays clips of these so called comedians and there is not one who have made me smile let alone laugh-keep the lot of them I say
|

By:
Michael McIntyre, Miranda, Sarah Millican and Russell Howard. Nearly all comediennes are terrible, the exception is Amy Schumer. Howard's schtick seems to be targeted at subintelligent 20-somethings. McIntyre is just an awful, middle class windbag. How Miranda received accolades for her sit-com is beyond me. Some of the most cliched, tired visual gags imaginable. I'd throw in 'Mrs Brown' too - saying 'feck' is not comedy as isn't all your p*ss poor scripts.
