Roy Hudd
Bob Monkhouse

Actually I can't think of ten who I never find funny but I'll keep thinking.

In like to know what your lists would be. If I get enough I'll do a table.

Its a rare occasion that brian connely is funny, but it sometimes happens. Mostly he doesn't make me laugh. Steven Wright is funny, I aggree. I've got some more for the unfunny list, Jeremy Beadle, and Lisa Riley.

She always talks as though we are all about 3, and just gets up my nose. It's the way she talks, and the way she's always oozing niceness, that makes me want to be sick. Worse than the tweenies, and the telletubies in an episode where they are really nice. But still not as sickmaking as Barney.

Also another topic to consider, who do you find annoying. Any reason, will do. Lisa Riley does for me. Jeremy Clackson as well. Anne Robinson too. I think it the voices that do it really.

Good comics top comics forgotten here...

Steven Wright (not the Radio2 DJ! :) ) & Jack Handly

Brian Connely was funny?!?... When was that?

I generally agree with your good comics list goatboy. The exception is Sam Kinison, but I've not heard any of his stuff (At least I can't remember doing).

As for bad comics, I disagree on mark lamarr, and phil jupitus, but on the rest I don't find Bernard Manning or Chubby brown funny, and am not a particular fan of the others. Sometimes Brian conly is funny, but not one of my favourites.

Also I've thought of other bad comics: Jim Davidson, and ben elton. I don't mind Ben elton when he writes, but I don't find his standup all that funny.

Good comics:

Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Sam Kinison
Richard Pryor
Lenny Bruce

Bad Comics:

Dennis Leary
Mark Lamar
Phil Jupitus
Bernard Manning
Chubby Brown
Joe Pasquale
Brian Connelly

I liked lee hurst. I think Phil Jupitus is good, but he's better on Never Mind the buzzcocks. I thought of more comics. Woody Allen, Harry Hill, and Jeremy Hardy get my vote for some of the funniest.

I've also thought of Seinfield, who I never find funny. I tend not to like lee evans, although sometimes he can be quite funny.

yeah Lee Hurst! he was a funny guy. The show wasnt the same without him. What?! he went to jail!

Lee Hurst?

Didn't he go to prison?

if your still there i replied to your post in the nintendo forum
