Performer/Performers whose success/appeal baffles you the most?

Sarah Millican, Miranda , any boy band, any girl band, Dale  Winton, that bearded **** Booker or whatever his name is, Ken  Dodd, any X factor , big brother type person (including the presenters) , any politician whatsoever and Jamie Farking Redknapp.
Just a few off the top of my head like........

Russell Brand
Nicholas Cage

for music i'd say 'Pitbull' as my number 1 choice  .When i first saw/heard him , i thought he was an Ali G type comedy character . Someone having a laugh, by creating this persona of someone who dresses up in a risible idea of what is 'cool' and acts out the role of a great music writer/producer despite evidently having zero talent for songwriting and whose rapping makes Vanilla Ice seem awesome by comparison . . All the song/videos are the same thing; a guy in sunglasses in a nightclub with women flocking around him because of his coolness and musical genius .Then you find out that he actually takes himself seriously, which is funny, till you see so does much of the world ,with hundreds of millions of you tube views etc

I once tuned in halfway through an N-Dubz documentary which I thought was a fantastically hilarious  urine -take.
Until I realised it actually was a documentary.

too many to mention

I think Miranda Hart is genuinely talented .. and though the programme she stars in may have run its course I hope she'll appear in other things.

I find her funny in Lee Mack's Not Going Out.
I'm not a football fan but Jamie Redknapp is surely harmless enough ... though perhaps I've not seen enough of him to get what it is to dislike.

Some people you can dislike can change for the better.
I used to find Jonathon Ross particularly untalented but he seems to have matured well.

10/10 for sideshowbob...no disagreements there.

I take my hat of to Mr E toothpaste!! agree with every one. Especially Miranda who reminds me of Big Bird trying to be funny to his sesame street 5 year old followers. I would also like to add sweaty Lee Evans.

That absolute cnoot who works with Nick Knowles on that 'I have a disabled dog, please redo my house and build me an extension for 100k of taxplayers money please' programme. He's not strictly a presenter, he's a chippy, but so what?

Oh, and Nick Knowles

This is coming along nicely, apart from the blasphemous definition of ACDC, and staggeringly, we are past ten posts in and no mention of Chit Chat favourite Russell Howard.

I can't think of a bigger musical con than the Spice Girls in terms of virtually no talent generating so much hysteria and cash. Two of them just about had passable singing voices, but nothing better than you would hear drunkenly murdering I Will Survive on a karaoke machine in a pub in Romford on any given Friday. The other three had no musical ability whatsoever! They apparently stood for 'Girl Power', but this was never really defined in Miss Halliwell and co's manifesto, yet the screaming masses seemed to buy in to it. Most importantly, the music was some of the worst ever recorded.

As for actors, Ewan McGregor and Owen Wilson have all the range and charisma of a piece of chipboard. 'Over actors' such as Robin Williams and Jim Carrey's appeal puzzles me too. I just want to slap them.

Davina McCall Loud mouthed talentless former Crack whoore.


Must have blown every exec on Ch5

Lee Evans, for me. I don't begrudge him his success, I just don't understand it.

The hilariously unfunny 'comedian' Michael McIntyre whose DVDs bewilderingly sell millions despite nobody admitting to liking the ponce

Anyone who plays for Aston Villa

r e p o r t e d

^ not a performer

In my day it was Jimmy Tarbuck & Kenny Lynch (never did find out what he was supposed to be)

Alan Davies

thick, not funny .... how?

So many I agree with already mentioned - but here's another:

Keith Lemmon.

I have to switch the tv over as soon as I hear his stupid, unfunny, unintelligible voice.

Just why is he on tv so much, in fact, at all?
