to think Lenny Henry isn't funny and is mildly irritating?

[Ilovesunflowers]

999 awards. Why choose Lenny Henry to present it? AIBU?

YANBU. Just had to turn the tv over because he is terrible.

Good good. Not just me then!

I love Lenny Henry. YABVU

YABU - he is more than mildly irritating. He might have been funny once and he was certainly breaking down barriers back in the 80s. But the whole "oo look at me I'm black and brummie me" act is a little aged now.

He's not funny
he's never been funny
And I'm sure he'll manage to slip in he's black at some point.
I cringe at him than change channels.

Yes, I remember seeing him in something else once where he said he was black every 10 seconds. Who cares mate?

I think Lenny needs to give it up.

Yanbu

He is Black dontcha know (idiot).

He annoyed me when he shouted out to the audience at the Jubilee Concert....'Are there any blacks in the house?'

WTF

He's a fucking idiot.

Is that on now?

I have been watching Holby on catch-up

Did he just say 9999?

YANBU. Probably THE most unfunny "comedian" on the planet. His Jubilee turn was embarrassing.

He's more than mildly irritating.

Knobber.

He is not funny, never has been. I once had to sit and watch him on my birthday as I was taken to a pre tour gig in reading 2007, it was the worst present I've ever had.

He was funny when he did Tiz Waz but since then he has been completely unfunny.

agree he was funny for a while, circa 1985, but now he is just like some embarrassing old uncle......

He's an arse - i was mildly interested in watching the 999 Awards but turned it over once i saw he was co-presenting. So unfunny.

He's not even remotely funny. That screechy bird noise thing he does is extremely irritating.

Cringeworthy.

I thought he was very funny in "A Comedy of Errors".

Does LH do the voices on Big and Small?

He's certainly not funny anymore. I liked him well enough in the 80s, possibly early 90s, but no longer.

I think it VERY important thought to point out he's not a Brummie. He's from Dudley, and that's in the Black Country.

Totally different accent I tell you...
