Stewart Lee on BBC2 now

brilliant

Best thing on TV all week

He wasted a lot of time on the cat joke though.

The ignominy of doing a cat 5hit joke and then attempting to deconstruct why it's funny.

First time I've every forwarded through his routine, that guy is developing time slowing skills ffs.

I preffered his anti-moslem jokes.

Same old predictable routine.  I thought I'd give it another chance I gave up after 5 mins.

He wasn't funny in the 1990's with Lee and Herring and he's not got any better.

Getting Chris Morris on board for credibility...gosh maybe Im just too fick to appreciate his genius.

It's not just comedy.....it's something more than that.

aye....its expensive silks and golden threads, that only certain folk can see......

You'd be gutted if you paid in to see a comedian though.

Women Be Shoppin

??

If you're interested in a comedian who has "something more" to offer have a look at Rob Newman he is actually funny.

had to call it a day in the middle of the cat shat. turned it over. coulda and shoulda done that joke in two minutes.

I love a bit of Stewart Lee.

On again now.

Chronic comedian.

He's not a comedian.

That will explain why he's not funny then. Thanks Leo.

Probably

Sherpa Tenzing has let himself go.

Steady now ...

First time I've seen a comedian getting paid to NOT tell jokes...goes well with the BBC remit.

Not sure whether he's a genius or needs sectioning!

Probably both

I started to watch him again then when playing in Glasgow.
Absolutely grim and stealing a living. Genius? That's funny.

On again  : 10pm

bit weird this one

Over-doing the pompadom eating

Needs 1 hour....I will write in.

I usually quite like SL but this series has been rank

First rank....yep

I think hes brilliant but each to their own

That's me done.
It comes to something when he barely raises a smile from me for the whole series.
He was existing on previous and has now officially defaulted.

He's one unfunny 5hitcoont

I repeat : "He's not a comedian."

Get over it !

He shouldn't have done that Rod Liddle gravy stuff, or at least not taken it so far.  He did that when I saw it and it was the worst bit of the show, can't believe it didn't get cut.

hes not a comedian, you got that right.
Think he brings his mates in to laugh for him.

or at least not taken it so far

he always does the same tedious thing where he draws out really unfunny 5hit....what is it then performance art?
Id rather watch the bog back up and overflow.

think he is trying some meta. awkward, andy kaufman stuff, but just feels awkward

ahhh yes 'lost in the fun house' quite a good book that.
him wrestling women still has me giggling

least andy had music and singing and moving around stage, not just standing there making eating sounds. Was also 40 years ago

interesting insight into what hes trying to do, where he meets ted chippington

I think you're failing to appreciative how he is deliberately subverting the genre...or some such pretentious pony.

Hes always careful to let you know that he can tell joke if he wants to but he would be really bored doing that.

The problem is though regardless of what he does he's just not funny.

correct
Its the part of the equation that he misses most of all.
You can deconstruct it all you like and then suggest its on purpose he plays to such small crowds but the reality is its because its just not funny

....and anything with Phill Jupitus in gets terminated at point of notice here....

On again !

I think hes brilliant ! so original

Yes....something a bit different.

left the room - urine urine urine - two weeks ago  it was poop on the flag? it's not stand up anymore its the lenny bruce condition.

Claptrap for students to overanalyze in the sixth form common room.Why didn't someone go on stage and pish on him?
