What comedians make your skin crawl.

[trapenfold]

It's Sunday morning. Man is looking at a job, DD is snoring, I'm alone, bitter, watching saved HIGNFY on telly. Uuurrrgghh Skinner hosting, how fucking horrible is he? I can't watch now.

[qazxc]

FRANKIE FUCKING BOYLE!!!!!
Billy Connolly, esp since his disgusting comments about Kenneth Bigley.
A lot of the "old school" chubby brown, jim davidson, etc....

for no reason other that i don't find them funny and therefore get excrutiatingly embarrassed watching them: Lee Evans, Mr Bean (although fine when he's not mr bean), Mrs Brown, Ab fab, goodness gracious me.

[itsallshitandmoreshit]

I love michael Macintyre, Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock and Jason Manford. Can't stand Rhod Gilbert, Lenny Henry (never been funny!), David Walliams, Miranda Hart, Sarah Milligan and that sweaty freak Lee Evans.

[Jollyb]

Jack Dee is one of my favourites.

Can't stand Sarah Millican

[JohFlow]

Bernard Manning - is there anyone he hasn't offended in the name of cheap comedy? Horrible human being!

[DuelingFanjo]

Stuart Lee.

[GalaxyDefender]

littleginger see the reason I love Sarah Millican is because she talks about cake and cats - they're my two favourite things her accent drives me potty though

I'm also going to take this opportunity to ask you all why, why everyone seems to think Russell Brand looks "filthy". He always looks clean to me. Reasonably well-groomed, actually. Is it the hair?

But to keep in the spirit, I can only think of one comedian that I cannot stand - Jimmy Carr. Oh lord, that laugh. And the general unfunniness. Oh wait, David Walliams as well. Something about him is just mildly unnerving, can't put my finger on it. He at least can be funny, though.

[littleginger]

Creepy: david walliams definitely, frankie boyle (nothing to do with humour i really find his face quite horrible), leigh francis, jason manford (spineless), weird bald man from mock the week (really freaky looking and just shouldnt be allowed to call himself a comedian)

I like sean lock and jon richardson. Fair enough if you dont like their humour but it seems odd to say theyre too angry because its so obviously tongue in cheek. I also think lee mack is very quick witted but some people overlook him because its not 'intelligent' enough. I really loved simon amstell in grandmas house but didnt enjoy his stand up so much.

I cant stand sarah millican and her stories about eating cake and liking cats. I used to like jimmy carr because he was very quick with one liners but ive seen him caught out too many times and its ruined the whole act - he is atrocious on 10 o clock live. Plus i think he was a shithead over the tax avoidance thing.

Lol at lenny henry. His unfunniness is like the elephant in the room in tv land.

[AlexReidsLonelyBraincell]

Lenny Henry, has never, not ever, been funny.

They still wheel him out for Comic Relief every year though. Crapola.

I hate Jason Manford, Lee Mack, Gina Yashere, and I've disliked Billy Connolly ever since his Ken Bigley comments, that wasn't even in the realms of comedic bad taste, it was just fucking awful.

[flipchart]

I don't get what's wrong with Peter Kay.

Phoenix Nights was brilliant. I can also relate to his his stand up stuff. Me and my mates will be nodding our heads with stuff he comes out with dating Oh my god ! Yes I remember that!

Same with Lee Mack.

Sarah Milican is a one trick pony. I haven't heard her talk about anything else but her divorce which was years ago and she's been living with some one else for a while one.

[angelos02]

Chris Addison - he uses gestures too emphasise his jokes - that is annoying enough but he goes on and on doing them. He is like an over-excitable toddler.

[PeriodMath]

That woman who always wears a tie.

[RedPencils]

I can't stand Keith lemon, but I suppose he's going for the weirdo creepy thing. It's just not funny at all.
Jason Manford for his sex texting.

Not creepy but can't stand Sarah Millican. How she continues to get work is completely baffling. Why go they always have her on Graham Norton talking over the good guests.

[ByTheSea]

And Keith Lemon.

[ByTheSea]

Russell Kane, Alan Carr, Lee Evans

[bee169]

David Walliams seems like a lovely guy who does alot of charity work but his face really is creepy. I also can't believe he is heterosexual- it just adds to his creepiness for some reason!!

Gervais is just awful. He comes across as and arrongant weasel. His laugh is very upsetting. Him and Jonathan Ross annoy me.

Love David Mitchell and Dara O briain- can't believe they are mentioned here

[Jins]

Russell Kane
Sarah Millican
Miranda Hart

Lemmon

There are a few comedians I don't find funny (Johnny Vegas, Stewart Lee, Gina Yashere, Al Murray, Frankie Boyle nowadays although I didn't mind him in early Mock the Week episodes) but the ones who make my skin crawl are Lee Evans - I can't get past the sweat; Francis Leigh in all his deeply unfunny personas but especially Keith Lemon and Joe Wilkinson. Ross Noble is edging onto the bottom of the list too, again because of his sweatiness, which I'm sad about as I love some of his early surreal humour.

Other than that I'm quite easygoing. I like Sarah Millican, Michael McIntyre, Jon Richardson, Dara O'Briain (his live stand-up, and the way he feeds off the audience so a big chunk of every show is different is amazing) and don't mind Frank Skinner or Jimmy Carr. If a joke is intelligent and funny I'm not too bothered who is telling it.

[Longdistance]

Billy Connelly. Not a funny man at all. Like having route canal work done without anesthetic.

[microcosmia]

Dave Allen was considered very out there back in the day...I was the only child in my class whose parents let me watch him. I think he laid the foundations for Father Ted in a way. I would love to see those old shows of his again.

Interestingly he used to live in Navan in Ireland which is where Dylan Moran is from too. Dylan reminds me a bit of DA. And Dylan Moran and Tommy Tiernan went to the same school in that town. There must be something in the water there.

[CarpeVinum]

You don't know comedy pain until you are forced to watch bad Italian stand up. (some brill, but when bad, it's really bad)

I'm in love with The Axis of Evil Comedy Tour guys. Especially

I'm a bit bored with many of the current British stable, but there are loads of international comics out there and the differeing slant means you don't get a a lot of the tedium of "same old same old, cos it's fashionable in comedy circles right now".

[Shrugged]

And Dermot Morgan, God rest him, was a genius.

[Shrugged]

Jimmy Carr I loathe. I tend to like Dara O'Briain - and he's nice, and was terribly sweet to my poor, starstruck ILs when they met him at the filming of some chatshow years ago. Though in my more jaded moments, I do wonder how he has made a career out of being just about as funny as lots of Irish guys of his age and temperament down the pub. I mean, I find him funny, but no more funny than quite a few noncomedians I know.

[TabithaStephens]

I like Frank Skinner, I listen to his absolute radio show every week.
