<p>Russell Brand is shit. I had that opinion even before he became the millionaire champion of the downtrodden.<br><br>
I'd heard he was hilarious so tuned in to see him on Conan Obrien or one of those shows. Didn't even chuckle. He was apparently hilarious in Forgetting Sarah Marshall but I must have seen a different version.<br><br>
Adam Sandler is boring now but was great back in the day.</p>

<p>The best thing that Russell Brand ever did was storm that building on London, so a true literary genius could write <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://blog.squandertwo.net/2014/12/an-open-letter-to-russell-brand.html'>this: </a></p> -
Michael McIntyre doesn't really tell jokes.<br><br>He tells long rambling stories which basically rely on observing the minutiae of everyday life for their humour.<br><br>He's also quite good at physical humour but again its about observing stuff that's all around us every day that strikes a chord with people that have never really thought about it until just then.<br><br>I totally get why some people find him as funny as warm sick but he's the highest grossing comedian in the world so there's plenty who obviously find him hilarious.<br><br>I'd tag along to one of his shows but wouldn't go out of my way to see him.

<p>just calling it as I see em pal, calling em as I see em!</p>

<p>I don't have any reason to actively dislike anything, there is a whole other thread on the subject of negative fucktards on Facebook.</p> -
I can see why people may hate McIntyre. His face and voice are incredibly annoying. His piece about kids is absolutely brilliant though.<br><br>
IMHO the king of comedians is Dave Chapelle. Best since Murphy.<br><br>
Oh yeah, back in the day Lenny Henry was supposed to be funny. I hired one of his videos because of the hype. It started off slow, maintained that pace and ended with him singing or some shit. The quote on the back of the video claimed he was up there with Eddie Murphy. I can only assume he meant EM from Doctor Doolittle. Now that was a shit film. -
<p>Chappelles show was sensational. Charlie Murphys true Hollywood stories and The ****** family are the real standouts to me. I also liked the doco when he organized a block party, seems a really nice bloke too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eddie Murphy pretty much stopped being funny the moment the 80s ended but Raw....Delirious.....Trading Places.....Beverly Hills Cop.....Coming to America.......that there is a collection of comedy genius.</p> -

<p>I saw the kids piece..did nothing for me at all. But I don't have kids so maybe that's got something to do with it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Agree on Chapelle, HalfBaked was my favourite stoner movie, not sure if it still holds up now..</p> -

<p>I'm not surprised. When he turned on people who just did their zips up easily, I completely lost it. Tears, farts, couldn't breath. Proper piss myself laughing moment.</p> -
<p>Halfbaked is a classic - right up there with Harold and Kumar Pt 1. Billy bong Thornton and Wesley Pipes = fucking epic. </p>

very tempted to give it another watch. I did have a mate leave me some garden herbs a while back too. Sometimes its great to be living the single life -

<p>I always assumed that her fanbase is women, I saw an episode of her tv show and it was fairly excruciating .</p> -

<p>Ha well I get this one too now. I have a female friend who is absolutely lovely but to put it nicely is a bit of a mess, not in a terrible way, just is always victim of circumstance and not willing or able to be self-responsible for day to day life. This humour resonates with her massively.</p> -

<p>Genuinely sad when Dave walked away from comedy. Grew up on Raw and Delirious so Eddie will always be a favourite. Can still quote chunks of either show.</p>

<p>Reckon my favourite comedian at the moment is probably Louis CK, loved his piece at the Oscars and find his stand-up really good too.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah Louis is excellent. Reminds me of Carlin who was a massive influence on Louis.</p>

<p>Just watched Bill Burr on Netflix and I recommend that for a laugh. Great show.</p> -
