Miranda...

Not my cup of tea, either. Nor is Alan Partridge, The Office or The Inbetweeners, even though they've been extremely popular. Going back further, I never found the likes of Benny Hill, Chubby Brown, Are you Being Served?, Jim Davidson or 'Allo, 'Allo in the slightest bit funny.
However, some of the old & new I DO find funny (QI, HIGNFY, Would I Lie To You, The Big Bang Theory, Frasier, M*A*S*H*, Dad's Army, all the Blackadders, Open All Hours, Porridge, Morecambe & Wise, Mrs Brown's Boys) leave other people cold. Humour, like music, is very subjective and, again like music, can get very snobbish as to what is regarded as funny and what isn't. Each to their own as far as I'm concerned.

 

BBC box-ticking department as usual, she ticks two, female and lesbian.

Couldn't work out how Mrs Brown's Boys got commissioned though until I found out Brendan Carroll's mother was an Irish Labour politician, that's the other way to get commissioned by the BBC, being part of the socialist brotherhood, notice how the Hairy Bikers both have Che Guevara tattoos.

 

'The opening episode of the third series (of Miranda) became one of the most watched shows in the UK over the Christmas period, attracting a total audience of over 11.5 million viewers'. But its only shown on tv because of a socialist conspiracy. Right.

 

Can say the same about a lot of stuff on the BBC, it's absolute tripe.

 

I have two schools of thought about comedy. There are people who are genuinely funny people, or there are people who get by by saying funny things. Macintyre for example is just someone who shouts funny things. Not someone I like to watch. Tommy Cooper, funny person who said things that weren't really funny but great to watch.

Wow! One of your best yet! Conspiracy theories abound.

i guess I'd best get watching these programmes then seeing as they are all Socialist!

 

Michael Mcintyre has the easiest job in the world. It's as if people go to his shows determined to laugh no matter what he says. Don't believe me? Look on youtube for his bit about how Yorkshire people speak. It was a lazy, cliched routine about how we all say t' instead of the, despite the fact we actually don't. The crowd absolutely lapped it up, which you could forgive seeing as it is a common stereotype. Except he performed it in Leeds. The audience knows that it isn't accurate, the routine itself isn't remotely funny but the morons loved it anyway.

Piss easy job. Pick something common and obvious that everyone will be familiar with, then just flounce around on stage flopping your hair about whilst people soil themselves just because they have also used self-checkouts at supermarkets.

 

No I don,t need to give my head a shake it ain't funny to me along with all this American crap ,mrs browns boys is funny to me that's why it's on and a lot of people watch it.

 

It's all about opinions, and mine is that you need to give your head a shake.

Only joking, I realise it's all down to personal taste.

 

As stated - comedy is very subjective.

Miranda and Mrs Browns Boys I find painfully unfunny. Other popular comedies I hated such as Allo Allo, and Bread.

I like Michael McIntyre, the missus loves him, it's as much about delivery and his expressions that do it, on the other hand I can't stand Lee Evans.

Top for me though is Ross Noble, the guy is just off the wall.

I like the Alan Partridge character, missus can't stand him.

 

I'm clearly in the minority on here but I find McIntyre very funny. He's very talented in the delivery of his comedy more than anything. Although I have to admit that the t' joke was a bit poor... ...but then again, it is delivered very well
