It's so simple.
Beaks are the answer.
Anything, yes, anything is funny if you put a beak on it.
For instance,
BBC newsreaders: not funny.
BBC newsreaders with beaks: hilarious.
Fridges: not funny
Fridges with beaks: amusing
Try it. Think of something not funny, then imagine a beak onto it. Works a treat.
It even works with things that already have beaks. Ducks, for instance, only marginally funny. Put another beak onto it, and it's chuckle-inducing, no matter where you put the spare beak.
The only exception to this rule are duck-billed platypus' (platipi?), which are impossible to make look more ridiculous, and Harry Enfield, who is incapable of being funny, no matter how many beaks you stick on him.

Paul Whitehouse is included due to his involvement with Harry Enfield (Kathy Burke had a miraculous escape and is still to this day funny when beaked).
I haven't a clue who the dude on Buzzcocks is - not had proper TV due to being overseas. I'll take your word for it.

You forgot to mention Paul Whitehouse and that black guy that sometimes appears on Nevermind The Buzzcocks (for no apparent reason).
