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.

I like Frank Skinner and once had a fantastic sex dream that involved Russell Brand so they do not make my skin crawl

Really don't like Gervais he gives me the creeps and I know he is dead and this is probably very disrespectful but Bob Monkhouse......

bob monkhouse was a starnge creepy man I am not sure if it was the side smile or the fake tan or going nowhere hair but yip shudder

strange*

Russel Brand looks filthy but not in a good way in a minging pants way

I don't mind Russell Brand. I think he's ok to be honest, just a bit lost I always think. Liked the fact that he donated thousands of pounds to the Hillsborough family support group a few years ago too.

I dont hate him I find him interesting when he is being interviewed for things but Im not into his stage show and he looks filthy

I dont like Russell Brand as a stand up comedian. He uses words I dont understand He tells jokes the long way. Like those people that tell a story but have to tell you what shops they walked past, work out what day it is, what they were wearing then the story is just something like they saw a cat

7 pages, 7 pages and no-one has mentioned David Williams! He makes my skin crawl and I don't find him funny. Am sure he's a nice guy though as he seems respected in the industry.

Rhod Gilbert is the funniest person I have ever seen live. Fact.

I also really like Lee Mack on WILTY as he's so quick. And David Mitchell, though I realise he's not everyone's cup of tea and could grate. And of course Eddie Izzard who I'd travel a long way to see.

Russell Brand is great live too. I'll tell you who was a crushing disappointment though - Simon Amstell. I think he was much better as a presenter and not doing stand up.

Allan Carr is funny but I just can't watch him. He's a lovely guy though so I feel bad saying it.

Totally agree with David Walliams! He proper creeps me out, definitely gets my skin crawling too.

I don't like:
Frankie Boyle
Jimmy Carr - most of the time, sometimes he can have a glimmer of funniness
All the comedians that shout all the time, it's not necessary!

I like:
Lee Evans - though more of his older stuff.
Russell Howard - I find him funny and have been told he is lovely in person, too.
Lee Mack
Dara O'Brien

Most of the others are 'meh' or 'I can listen to, but wouldn't shout about' :)

Oh and I don't like David Walliams, Alan Carr, Frank Skinner, Bill Bailey, Rob Chubby Brown or most of them 'oldies' or 'lets play the camp/gay act again' - we know they are camp/gay don't need to be repeatedly told.

Yes, I live Cussy and Ada. Can I just mention again that I saw Dave Allen live, in case anyone missed it, ner ner ner ner ner!

Gosh, how do these guys earn a living? Someone must like them!

Largely I concur.

Dislike Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle intensely.

Find Keith Lemon pathetic (like a hyper-active, precocious 10 year old).

David Walliams I just find weird, something around the eyes ...

Frank Skinner, I loathed him for years after some very nasty comments he made with Baddiel, but found him mainly both very funny and sweet in 101 Room (which was annoying).

I do however have a soft spot for Ricky Gervais, I find him very, very funny and The Office is probably my all time top favourite comedy.

Russell Bland I just don't get, its like white noise.

I don't agree on Sarah Millican - I love her

I don't like Jason Manford [shudder]

Fartinacan can you hate someone just for being posh?!

Sarah Millican, micheal McIntyre, lee mack, Alan Carr, Milton the one with one liners.

There are plenty of comedians I don't find funny, but the ones who make my skin crawl and I have to change channel immediately before I throw something at the telly are:

Frankie Boyle - deeply unpleasant, disablist and just horrid
Jimmy Carr - that laugh, dear lord it's awful, and so smug
Sarah Millican and Miranda Richardson - I lump them together because they both play the "brainless female" card and it's just embarrassing to womankind
Keith Lemon - (whether a person or a persona) just awful on every level
Lee Evans - I have no idea if he's funny of not, I just can't watch all that sweat, euch!

Frankie Boyle, vile, hideous, nasty bully with absolutely no redeemable features.

Stevie from Miranda. Has the most irritating voice (every time she says "are we?" I want to throw something at her) and always going on about her 'allure' arrrrghhh . . . .

Dave Allen was my childhood fav. I have to indulge in private, DH has only so much tolerance to having the piss taken out of religion.

His CofE edges, find it offensive, my athiest ones don't.

Not completely sure DH would get the wonderful Tim Michen totally, although he'd love white wine in the sun.

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

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.

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

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".

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.
