mathematics Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I came down the stairs after putting Damien* to bed and Mrs Mathematics was watching Takeshi’s Castle. This programme finished during a conversation and during a lapse of vigilance, Micheal McIntyre ended up on the tele. This led me to ask the question, “which male comedian do you hate the most”? Before I had finished off the word “most”, she had rhymed off that cockney guy (Flanagan), him with the teeth (Becket), that Liverpudlian (Bishop), and that pub guy (Al Murray). Since I’ve typed this she has also given me Frankie Boyle, Rob Bryden, Russell Howard, Eddie Izzard, and Ross Noble. Turns out she hates a lot of male comedians. Who do you hate, and why? Spoiler * not his real name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents * not his real name. A few you've mentioned I also dislike, some have had great acts/spots but the one that has been consistently unfunny all my life and I couldn't understand why he was popular is Jim Davidson. Back in the day it wasn't the racism or misogyny that jumped out, it was that he was a shite comedian. And a cùnt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Yeah, Michael McIntyre. If he started with the same schtick, I don't know how he got through the first few gigs without taking a few punches to his smug puss. I'll see your Jim Davidson and raise you Bernard Manning: "there's fucking hundreds of them in the jungle" Edit: it's a fucking disgrace.

Shandon Par Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Wouldn’t call it hate, but I switch off podcasts when the comedian starts talking about their ADHD journey. Shaun Keavney, Dave Gorman, Blindboy, Rory Bremner, Lee Mack, Rhod Gilbert.. Maybe growing up in Fife the ADHD barre was a bit higher but it tended to be associated with kids who tried to kill their family, burn down schools, rob their grandparents, set fire to dogs etc and generally ended up dead or in care/young offenders/jail. Not middle aged men who appear to have done very well in life having had a very calm existence. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised they’re classed as hyperactive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oystercatcher Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I used to quite like listening to Ellis James and John robins on radio 5 live (podcast). But recently robins needy, whiny and frankly unfunny ramblings have been seriously getting on my nipple ends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 James Corden as per @Bairnardo. The guy who dresses up as Mrs Brown. Joel Dommett (& his stupid turkey teeth. & every crap show he gets lined up to present). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 He's not quite in Michael McIntyre territory - who belongs either in The Hague or on Epstein's list - but Josh Widdecombe or whatever his name is a sad sack loser of the lowest apparent quality. The widespread assertion that James Acaster is just hilarious - nope, not for me and stop forcing the issue. Better than the two above but wildly overrated IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
