I've a good mind to get you banned...there's little kids reading this thread, you foul mouthed motherf**king shitc**t. 
The hardcore jibe was a retort to the all the hardcore vs mainstream malarky. I'm surprised you're not 'raving' about Michael McIntyre.

I think his moaning is more of a deliberate comedic device.
Quote: Mark @ December 14 2009, 8:23 PM GMTHe's been gigging on the circuit since 2001! He's done that hard graft! He's done Jongleurs, he's done rooms in Edinburgh (nominated for best newcomer in 2003 incidently) - he's done all that, so he's not actually just jumped straight into the industry and onto the big stage!
Did he fair very well on the circuit though as an up-and-coming comedian? It seems to me that he's a very average comedian who was gigging and not really stirring up much of a storm in the comedy world, and then someone in a high place (probably something to do with marketing or "target audiences") saw him and liked him and chucked him on telly and here we are today.
Obviously he didn't go straight from not being a comedian to being on TV, but he certainly jumped a good few steps up the fame ladder and above more deserving comics for no apparent reason in my opinion.

But then again you could say that with all comedians. Some of them made it big. Are you saying they all jumped steps?
Or is it possible he worked hard toget where he is now?
Wasn't Hancock jealous of the attention that Snide got?
He made like a circus seal...

Let's take Stewart Lee as an example. He's been in the game a long time and is regarded as one of the best, yet has never really had mainstream success.
He's worked a hell of a lot harder than McIntyre and isn't as high up this metaphorical ladder. So yes, McIntyre did jump steps. He's not the only one, but he is one of the more extreme cases of it.

You have ruined my dreams by calling me Miss Coe.
I want to be a teacher but Miss Coe makes me sound like an old pratt who walks with a cane and hits the pupils with it.
And what referance?
