Never funny
the one thing that slightly grates me, forgive the pun, is cheese jokes. don't get me wrong there are some jokes about cheese that are funny, but some writers think that cheese is just funny. like they'd literally write:
INT.ROOM.DAY
Cheese
END
And think it was hilarious. It annoys me for some reason.

Cheese yeah.
Though the Men Behaving Badly bit about impersonating cheese amused me.

That sounds like the latest NewsRevue running order....
I have to confess to having written sketches on 5 of them, but that's for NewsRevue only.
It was merely selling out rather than wanting to write them!
I must admit, I am getting mighty tired of hearing Chav jokes. It's usually gay men, or female comedians who tell them...oh, and of course, Marcus Brigstocke.

Marcus Brigstock - he certainly comes under the 'Never funny' umbrella.
Isn't Pete Doherty a bit fat for a heroin addict? - Frankie Boyle
Made me laugh.
How about that little blonde shit, Russell whatisname, the stand up "comedian", who appears on all the piss-poor panel shows?

Russell Howard.
"Imagine if Saddam Hussein was in the Big Brother house?" Yes, it'd be shit, he couldn't speak the language and he'd be arrested. That kind of shit line might have made air-headed bimbos, and suede jacket wearing morons laugh in your student union bar, Russell, but you need to be a bit more imaginative that that in the comedy world.
Hey no knocking NR, it rocks, and gets bigger laughs than most other comedy I've seen. Also GWB is funny, it's just a slightly over played joke. In fact most of that list is funny, if done properly.
Heather McCartney is a one legged comedy gold mine in her own right.
Everythings potentially funny, no bad subjects, only bad comics.

That was one of them.
I love the way he's so polysexual, that the only term for him is just "go screw," cos it could be any one or anything.
I like Russell Howard. He is a bit of a gimp.
(Oh great top of page post. I love you Russell, honest!)
