    I'm surprised Robin Williams hasn't been mentioned. Mind you, he can still be slightly funny occasionally, live, even though he does all his Mork/gay man/Gandhi on civilisation/erection gags/slightly creepy kid voice/talking very fast unnecessarily, ad nauseam and beyond, decade in and decade out.

    He's massive in America and he's a fucking moron. Panders to beer-chugging fratboys.

    Dane Cook.


    I saw him at the laugh factory and he's kind of a one-trick pony. He spent his whole act talking about sex jokes and watching porn. Really not that funny after the first few jokes, he didn't get the memo that comedians should diversify their material.

    Another one that I don't "get"......kind of a one-trick (character) pony in my book.

    I'll start. Bill Hicks. Why? Too sanctimonious. Too "rock and roll". Too opinionated. Uneven material. And that mullet.


    Your turn.

    I love me some Bill Hicks. I'll agree to the rock and roll and mullet aspects, but too opinonated?!? No chance. I shall respectfully disagree with you Fins. I'm not sure if we should speak ill of the dead, but Rodney Dangerfield was the king of all hacks if you ask me.

    Bernard Manning. He's not rated at all by intelligent or open-minded people but he was massively popular in certain circles in britain for decades. I don't mind when people do racist jokes with a sense of irony, particularly if they are actually funny. Bernard wasn't ironic or funny, he was just a fat racist bastard. how's that for speaking ill of the dead? ;)

    Blue Collar Comedy Tour - O VER RATED

    Although I find Ron White intriguing, maybe not funny, but the dude supposedly died 8 times and never goes without a drink. (or did he give the stage-drinking up? not sure..)
    Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."

    He served as a weapon of state during the seventies, making "thick paddy" jokes when the British were at the height of their carnage in Northern Ireland. He had his uses, for a time. The horror of Manning is that for a long time, his was the dominant (if not the admitted, official establishment) view. That's what's so particularly nasty and unpalatable about his legacy. Those people who say "He was a man of his time" should reflect on how dreadful those times were, and apologise not on his behalf, but for ever thinking like him.
