On Is it Something I Said. The most annoying man ever on my tv, after Jimmy Carr and Alan Carr and a few others.

Surely those aren't his own teeth?

[mrs_overall]

I think he is desperately unfunny.
He is second on the list of comedians I despise, after Andy Parsons

[rockyracoon]

No matter how many times I hear that 'out, out' it still cracks me up. Growing up for us was exactly like that 'are we going out, or out out tonight' lol

[rockyracoon]

Is it that accent that puts you off Mrs O? :)

[davetuc]

Strange how people can despise comedians? You either like them or don't, so don't watch them. But despise seems a bit strong.

[mrs_overall]

Perhaps the word despise was a bit strong. 'Dislike intensely' is probably more appropriate.
Rocky, it is not just the accent - I find his humour banal and irritating. If he is on TV I change channels

>>>>Why is swearing so bad?

I hate comedians who swear because it is an "easy" way to get a laugh.

I went to a comedy night in a small club a few months ago.

One of the comedians was not that good so to "improve" his comedy he stuck "F**KING" in front of many sentences to get a stronger laugh.

One routine was about him getting a haircut, and he could not just say "haircut" it had to be "F**KING haircut".

I stopped listening to him after a while because I hate the sort of comedian who just uses swearing to get a laugh and I started watching the audience.

And it was wierd how when he DID put the F word in it got a bigger laugh.

Strange how, like 6 year old kids, we think saying a swear word makes it funnier. Like young kids giggling at the word "willie".

I much prefer a comedian who gets his laughs by clever comedy, like Harry Hill who I have never heard swear once, than the morons who think saying the F word every sentence makes them "cool".

''I much prefer a comedian who gets his laughs by clever comedy, like Harry Hill''

Fcuk me that's the funniest thing I've read on here today ;-p

[mrs_overall]

VHG - I am surprised at anyone classing Harry Hill as a "clever" comedian. He does a sketch called "Albino Night" which takes the mickey out of people with Albinism.
I don't find mocking a disability the least bit amusing

[tonyav]

I'd find him funnier if he wasn't a cockney.

[rockyracoon]

Lol snags

[rockyracoon]

What's wrong with cockney?

[tonyav]

davetuc
tonyav - northern racist!

LOL, I don't live in the North.

[snags]

lol... just racist then ;-p

I find Flannagan's wet look mullet perm more offensive, but hey...

[davetuc]

Still didn't answer the question 'What's wrong with cockney?' Is it the accent or the people in general? And why the dislike?

[tonyav]

Nothing wrong with it, if you like it that is.

[rockyracoon]

I lot of the humour is in the accent, it's the way a joke/story is delivered. I've rarely heard anyone funny, speaking with a non regional accent.

[Mamyalynne]

Ah the Cockernees !!

[rockyracoon]

It makes it funnier when you know people like it :)

[tonyav]

I like this sketch.
