Harry Hill

[smudge]

Whatever does anyone see in this person?

I do not find him in any way comical, or amusing. His voice & actions irritate me so much, I can't wait to switch off the minute I see his face. (Especailly in the Boots chemist adverts).

[littleoldme]

Different strokes for different folks I guess, smudge. Personally I like him (although I will agree about the Boots adverts).

Mind you, I could be biased. He's from Woking, and so am I. Erm, you're not from Aldershot, are you? I tend to find people from there dislike him. I put it down to footballing local rivalry spilling over into the world of light entertainment. :O)

[smudge]

Nah littleoldme - I'm from Bedfordshire! I nearly boycotted Boots around Christmas time! My husband can't stand him either, so we both reach for the remote simultaneously - well only when we're not reading of course!

[landie]

I agree with smudge, he's got to be the most irritating man on TV.

[keen2learn]

I'm not from Aldershot either, but he doesn't raise a smile from me. With Smudge all the way on this one.

you're not alone Smudge - no-one in our family can stand him and we are talking a variety of ages here (so it's not an age thing) we don't find him remotely funny, entertaining or amusing. The Boots ads were particularly annoying as well

[secretsquiz]

i find him highly amusing, but he's definitely a bit of an acquired taste!

i think he's a lot funnier when he's doing his own thing - i much prefer his stand-up to things like tv burp, but i'll agree with you on the adverts!

i'm seeing him on stage in a few weeks, so i'll let you know if he's any good.

I like him and I like TV Burp!

A couple of weeks ago I posed a question asking why people liked Big Brother.  It was banned!  Since then all sorts of similar questions have been asked and remain.  I am getting paranoid!!!!  Why is the editing so random?

[smudge]

FP - I didn't give it a second thought - but I'm sure AB Ed will no doubt ban this & any others now. :0)

If he does ban it, at least I know I'm not alone in not finding HH funny or remotely entertaining. But then again it would be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

[smudge]

Thank you for participating in my chatty thread!

[landie]

You're very welcome.

[FP]

I didn't mean for this to get banned as well!  I really am in the doghouse now.   Anyway, Harry Hill is far from being the most irritating man on TV.  That's Cliff Richard.............

[littleoldme]

...and thanks to FP and secretsquiz for making me feel I'm not completely out of touch on this!

[smudge]

As I say - everyone to their own!

But I would rather watch 24 hours of CF than 1 hour of HH & that's something! Nite, nite all.

[smudge]

*I meant - 'and that's saying something'.

[nicola_red]

I like him - always have done.  That said, I think he is losing his touch a bit, and he does do far too many adverts.  I still quote his old catchphrases now and again - "goal!" and "you've got to have a system" - most people don't recognise them anymore.  Last year on TV Burp he did a Prof Robert Winston skit and now my bf and I can't see him on TV without referring to the line used - "but really, I should be at work".

[jills]

I really like him too, tho sometimes he can be a bit hit or miss.  His catchphrases, although random in the extreme, do still raise a smile with me...."Stalagmites and stalactites" or "The power of suggestion" being two favourites.

[coggles]

Have tried, but have never found him funny. Each to their own I suppose.

[pjm007]

Harry Hill is a very funny and unique comedian, personally i would like TV Burp to be on every week.

I dont mind him - dont like his stand up but find "Harry Hill's TV Burp" hilarious!
