Gaz Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Bet you all of the above will be described as atrocious, unfunny, utterly shit, etc. by someone.Well, that's to be expected - no-one's going to have universal appeal, so there will be someone who says they're unfunny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Bet you all of the above will be described as atrocious, unfunny, utterly shit, etc. by someone. Well maybe they don't find them funny? Its all down to what you find funny really. I don't know many people who still like Frankie Boyle but I still think he is hilarious... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well, that's to be expected - no-one's going to have universal appeal, so there will be someone who says they're unfunny. You know what I mean though, there is a difference between not finding someone funny, and finding them to be utterly shit atrocious holocausts of human beings! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 You know what I mean though, there is a difference between not finding someone funny, and finding them to be utterly shit atrocious holocausts of human beings! Yeah, I do. Russell Howard strikes me as being in both categories and I don't see many leaping to his defence on here whereas most "popular" comedians will at least split opinion. I have to say that broadly speaking, I don't find comediennes funny at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yeah, I do.

I have to say that broadly speaking, I don't find comediennes funny at all. I don't mind Russell Howard. He's far from being a favourite, I wouldn't go out of my way to go and see him but I also don't feel the need to switch the television over when he comes on. I think he has a bit of a local appeal to me though, much like Kevin Bridges has here. He doesn't travel too well. He has a few universal lines but overall, Bridges' appeal is to Scotland. I watched his DVD with my sister and she just didn't 'get' a lot of his stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 And no, women just aren't funny in general. Now and again I see a comedienne that can make me laugh but I just have to picture Gina Yashere's face and I'm flex with rage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehoss Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well I suppose. Richard Pryor hilarious for me. Bill hicks. Don't get it. As for comediennes that lucy porter would probably get it. But she's not funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now and again I see a comedienne that can make me laugh but I just have to picture Gina Yashere's face and I'm flex with rage. I saw Shappi Khorsandi a few years ago and she was excellent. Then again, whenever I've seen her televised since then she seems to only really have one routine now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for comediennes that lucy porter would probably get it. But she's not funny. Bill Hicks is terribly overrated. His shows had the same routine for about 5 years and his "sucking satan's cock" skit is one of the most shite attempts at comedy I've ever been subjected to. He's one of these folk that's held up as some sort of counter culture folk hero, but in reality he was just a comedian with a very limited repertoire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Sarah Millican too though I'm always seeing comments on here about how she talks about being fat, being single and eating cake. She really does have more material than that it's just not suitable for a Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow audience (I like him too, by the way). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's that whole anti establishment, blazed his own path, witnessed Waco and all this utter nonsense. I still don't understand how saying stuff while not smiling makes you a comedian. George carlin was quite good too. Especially in bill and ted films. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehoss Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Linda smith. Not funny at all. Not even a little bid. Not that I want to speak ill of the dead but she didn't do it for me. Millican can make me chuckle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QoSStewartry Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Sandi Toksvig has that effect on me. I cringe to the core when she appears on the TV screen. Just listen to her on the News Quiz. You won't have to look at her (and it's rather brilliant). Susan Calman cracks me up when she's on it, but was god awful live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I am fucking FUMING. I am verge of tears angry. I am punch walls type furious. I won an auction for a top on ebay and waited, And waited. And fucking waited. And the woman that sold it didn't bother sending it. So I did exactly what e-bay said, I followed their procedures to the letter and I just got back a stinking nasty message from the woman saying I had 'a cheek' to contact e-bay and if I had messaged her she would have told me the item has been posted. E-bay tells you NOT to contact the seller directly, so I didn't. This is a woman with over 150 feedback on e-bay who doesn't know to click the 'dispatched' icon when she sends something. I sent her a reply which was, shall we say.....terse (and possibly even curt). Fucking thick bitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a fairly expensive t shirt on ebay and the seller didn't mark it as dispatched and it hadn't shown up for around 3 weeks or something. I proceeded to message the seller who didn't respond. This led me to accept that I wasn't going to get the item and as such I got in contact with ebay who gave me a full refund. The t shirt turned up the next day. Pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to go and see her show sometime, she's one of the few female comedians that makes me laugh. Also, she's hot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I work on a library desk and it really fucking annoys me when the next person in line walks up to the desk as soon as the person I'm helping has walked away rather than waiting till I call them over. There's often things we need to finish away from the desk before we can serve the next person so I have to send them back to the queue anyway, wait until I bloody call you over and am ready!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Oh, Lyn-Marie. Sometimes I just like a bit of gentle, non-offensive straightforward comedy. It doesn't make me a bad person! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
