"Rosie Jones…. Yes but you can’t voice this due to PG culture ![]() ![]() To be fair, I don't find her funny either. With comedy being so much about timing and tone which her disability unfortunately interferes with, it disrupts the flow of the show she's in when everyone is waiting for her (ultimately unfunny) punchline which I don't enjoy watching all that much. Fair play for putting herself out there but it ultimately doesn't work ![]() | |||

"Re: Rosie Jones - perfectly fine if you don't find her comedy funny. Not fine if you don't like her or mock her because of her disability. That's the basic rule of anything to do with disability. That said, you do have to understand that some disabilities mean that people do things that *you* do, just differently. I got on and off a train yesterday, but via shuffling on my arse and then crawling. I didn't see anyone else do that. Just an example. " My view on the whole Rosie thing is that she needs the right vehicle for her humour. As a writer of comedy I think she can come up with funny lines as good as anyone. As a stand-up or panel show guest where the comedic value tends to be all about timing then, inevitably, her disability is going to have an effect on delivery and hence the impact of her humour. One example was the Big Fat Quiz of the Year back in December - the wrong show for her in my opinion due to the above and it disrupted the “flow” of the show. In my opinion that’s not mocking her disability, but it recognises that her disability does have an impact on the effectiveness of her comedy. Personally I think her great strength is writing good comedy for others. | |||

A bloke twiddles his glasses and makes them go up and down and everyone pisses themselves. Ok hold them high regard as being entertainers then but not as comedy gods due to the fact they aren’t funny at all. I’ve had funnier shits. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Your example of Micky Flanagan as being funny epitomises everything that is unfunny about modern comedians, they have to rely on shock value and swearing that speaks to people’s puerile nature, the total dumbing down to facilitate people’s lack of intelligence, intelligence that is required to recognise and appreciate the subtle nuance of good comedy. | |||

"Bit of an older one but looking back I don’t see why morecambe and wise were hailed as being so funny. I know it’s dated but I ( not that I would) could watch a hour programme and it not even raise a smirk. It’s just unfunny shite.

Whether Morecambe and Wise are funny or not today doesn't matter too much. They are dead and therefore no longer doing stand up or television shows. In 1977 they pulled in more than 20million viewers. Benny Hill once pulled in about 23 million ..... about 1971. The highest viewing for any comedy show last year was just over 6 million with other 'high' viewings being 4 million. I think you are missing the point entirely. Morecambe and Wise wouldn't pull that many viewers today nor would very many people laugh out loud at them. I will watch them very rarely for nostalgia but i've changed in opportunity ,experience and humour just as comedy does and comedians do. In their hey day Morecambe and Wise were New, Up to the Minute, Refreshing , Clever, Hard working , Innovative, self effacing and yes ........ Genius They deserve every accolade they got and get. They deserve their place in the annals of comedy fame. Would I pay to see them today ..... No but then I know the world has changed somewhat as has technology and I wouldn't be lining up to push a handcart to London when I can travel in so many other ways. Does it matter if someone finds them unfunny now ? Not really. Does it matter that after all they did for the development of comedy they get called penises..... to me it does. | |||

That would make the stats a little disparate to modern figures. I do think comedy or any artform really, has to considered in the context of it's time to be fully appreciated though, I agree. In that era it was family entertainment, people watched TV with their kids maybe 3 generations in the house. In that sense I think they were very talented comically and as entertainers. | |||
