Be Excellent To Each Other :: View topic - Jonathan Ross, Russell Brand, Andrew Sachs

I'm like a loose garter pistol.

Al Murray is brillian, you silly buggers.

Poor Grim...fancy being labelled in the same category as me

I'm proud to be a cretin (I love that word)

EDIT: Al Murray is rubbish: See his hopelessly 'out of his depth' appearance on Mock The Week.

As much as I loathe the Daily Mail, their targeting of shit 'comedians' is admirable. First Ross (amusing friends does not a comedian make) and now Boyle.

I hope someone hips them to Al Murray pretty soon.

The Daily Mail targetting an act who spouts ill-informed, just this side of racist, Little Englander bollocks? You're in for a long wait, mate.

Mock the Week makes me want to headbutt a trayful of drawing pins.

Not overly fond of Al Murray on TV (where he seems to be toned down somewhat - as you would expect), but his live shows are superb.

I've got all the live dvds and I saw him in Manchester a couple of years ago and he was excellent.
When we left, he was in the foyer, happily chatting to fans, signing autographs etc. Top bloke.

Obviously, everyone has different tastes in humour but I think he does what he does (live, at least) very well indeed.

Now they seem to be going after Clarkson, because of his 'lorry drivers kill prostitutes' line.

But... but... they do.

I think the Yorkshire Ripper was, too.

Someone needs to go through every copy of the Mail and drag out anything offensive they've ever said and go YOU'RE SO OFFENSIVE WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAH.

Christ, what a job that'd be.

FFS don't send the form letter, though.

The Iceni Project, a charity which had helped some of the murdered prostitutes in Ipswich, criticised Clarkson's remark.

I'm surprised Grim... hasn't piped up about everyone repeating the Top Gear thing yet.

OH NO, did anyone see the news that fonejacker has been cancelled for the same kind of abusive purile irresponsible phone calls! No? That's cause it hasn't. Perhaps Daily Mail readers don't watch it... EDIT: Al Murray is rubbish: See his hopelessly 'out of his depth' appearance on Mock The Week.

The more professional and mature comedians appreciate the fact that you have to tone your stuff down for transmission on public TV. Ah...

I'd go even further and say it's time sensitive in it's subjectivity, for me at least. A lot of the more pratfall based comedy I have to be in the right mood for, as well as the more clever character led stuff. Even so, there are some comedians I simply don't find funny, but shall wisely withhold names as I haven't seen any of them live, and it does make a massive difference.

I think Al Murray is very funny, as he's a composite of a bunch of characters from my local.

At least the Nazis were polite and didn't make phone calls to Jewish grandparents telling them they'd shagged their grandchildren before incinerating them all. Honestly, you liberals need to get your priorities striaght. It's people like you that are causing this country to go to the dogs.
