Why is Michael McIntyre so popular? Page 19

It would be very difficult to feel inferior to MM's comedy stylings. I made the comparison earlier and I shall do it again. Michael Barrymore was the 'people's comedian' for many years, he had fans from small children to elderly ladies and was universally loved - much more so then McIntyre.

Just like Poet Laureate, the country needs a national 'fool', at the moment it's McIntyre, tomorrow it will be someone else.

I always thought that I had never seen anyone so at ease with people and them so at ease with him.

As you say RC, 8 to 80.

Serious comment btw.

I liked watching Barrymore on TV, and he did make me laugh, but I would have been really uncomfortable talking to him. But then I am weird.

I liked Barrymore. His comedy drama Bob Martin was pretty good too. I think he was unfairly demonised for what happened at his pool, but that's for another thread.

Anyway, I have laughed at the occasional McIntyre joke, but I find him a bit boring. I know a lot of people who say they like him because "He doesn't have to swear to get laughs" - these people are usually are f**ktards.

I met Barrymore once. He was alright

On Amazon it says about his new DVD . . .

Region: Region 2 (This DVD may not be viewable outside Europe.)

Lucky f**kers !

God knows because I don't I really can't abide him. He simply leaves me stone cold.

How on earth did this plank get on TV and why on flaming earth is he still on doing the same awful tripe.One year chubby brown outsold his dvd sales without no TV presence and very little advertising.On mongrels nelson the fox called him Jimmy Carr's recycling bin once , ohh how the truth hurts.

I saw this resurrected and assumed it was asking for negative comments because of my opinion of him but it seems to be quite the opposite.

I thought it was only bitter comedians who gave Michael McIntyre grief
I admit I don't regularly watch his Saturday night show, but when i do I'm thoroughly entertained, I think he's an excellent host and really funny .
His hosting of "The Wheel " is brilliant and that is a show that I always watch when it's on great Saturday night TV
You can't get to where he is without having something special .
And I'd much rather watch a nice guy who is genuinely talented than some of the paint by numbers comedians that infest the panel shows I watch
