95% of the ones mentioned above.

I will add Robin Williams when he was alive. Never found him funny and don't understand how he was rated as an actor.

Resisterance · 06/10/2023 01:09

Eddie Izzard.

Previously dull and overrated. Now just sinister.

The Awakenings was an amazing film.

Never heard of it @SpicedAppleAndFreshCider will have a Google.

Amy Schumer. I just don't get it.

She’s obnoxious. And manages to prove it every time she opens her mouth.
Seriously un-funny.

dianamoonyan · 06/10/2023 01:13

Dara Ó Briain, painfully unfunny man, seriously actually listen to his material it's total garbage I have zero idea why they put him on the TV, he must have something on a commissioning editor.

Billy Connolly

Billy Connolly's stand up in the 70's was good but he's been mostly laughing at his own jokes for the past 40 years.

SirenSays · 05/10/2023 23:27

Ricky Gervais

THIS. Unfunny, ableist as hell and completely up himself to boot.
I don't find either Carr funny but A in particular has THE most irritating voice.

coxesorangepippin · 06/10/2023 01:16

Came on to say Lee Evans

Just awful

Amy Schumer just seems desperate

dimsumfatsum · 06/10/2023 01:17

Miranda- I just didn't the obsession with her cheap lols show back in the day.

I also don't get Billy Connolly or bill Bailey 🙈🙈🙈

ClemFandangoCanYouHearMe · 06/10/2023 01:19

Michael McInytre
Cariad Lloyd
Caitlin Moran.

StowOnTheWold · 06/10/2023 01:23

Liz Truss
Kwasi Kwarteng

dianamoonyan · 06/10/2023 01:23

@ClemFandangoCanYouHearMe Uggh, Caitlan Moran while not really a comic is also just insufferable, her writing is so bad, I can't believe people actually like it!

TroglodytesTroglodytes · 06/10/2023 01:26

God yes, Ross Noble, in no way funny and rambles on and on. Would rather get stuck in a lift with Russell Brand than him. Would pay him to shut the fuck up.

TadpolesInPool · 06/10/2023 01:30

I saw a tribute show of Morecambe and Wise.

It was so funny but the best was listening to my then 7 and 9 year olds nearly wetting themselves laughing. They barely drew breath the entire show. The vast majority of the audience were over 60 and seemed.to know the jokes off by heart. It was all new to my pair and was a fantastic night out.

Anyway, my votes for not funny are
Lee Evans
Jimmy Carr
Alan Carr
Jonathan Ross

chaosmaker · 06/10/2023 01:56

Sarah Millican, Mrs Brown, Ricky Gervais, the American one with a puppet..., Lee Mack, Russell Brand, Sacha Baron Cohen, David Walliams, Keith Lemon, Michael Macintyre and obviously Jonathon Ross. Probably lots more

Also never understood why friends or only fools and horses were so popular

LordBuckley · 06/10/2023 02:05

Laurel and Hardy.

RandomForest · 06/10/2023 02:11

Agree with many of these, add Emily Attack, don't know what's going on there.

Also Lee Evans, his early years were good. Ones I like, Sean Lock, Dave Allen, Dylan Moran (stand up), Micky Fannagan, Peter Kaye, prob lots more but sort of tv comedies and stuff that's of it's time, like Monty Python, Derek and Clive etc.

Comics go out of fashion.

bonbon2023 · 06/10/2023 00:58

Anyone that's a woman. I don't find women comedians funny at all.

Welcome back to the 1950s everyone! 🙄

Sarah millican

Oh my god YES!! 🙄

WalkingInTheAir13 · 06/10/2023 02:17

Jo Brand. Vulgar, embarrassing and definitely not funny.

WereYouListeningToTheDudesStory · 06/10/2023 02:19

SabrinaThwaite · 06/10/2023 00:47

I’m glad it’s not just me that doesn’t find Rosie Jones in the least bit funny.

It's not just you. I find her painfully unfunny.

Brokendaughter · 06/10/2023 02:25

Roy Chubby Brown.
