Too fucking many of them.

Who's actually funny that's going about at the moment?

I just watched something called "Comedy Cuts" maybe Cutz with a "Z", anyway it was on BBC3 or ITV4 or one of these freeview channels. It was utter gash. A half hour show called "comedy cuts(z)" with nothing funny in it?! How do these people get on TV? Are the public more easily amused than me?

All the British comedians seem to have this observational comedy style with dead-pan delivery with a pause before their "stating the bleeding obvious" sarcastic punchline and that bores me. Little Britain (arguably the most successful British sketch show in the past 5 years?) makes me laugh maybe 1-2 times an episode and I'm not talking about belly laughs, more of a light snigger. That is not good enough.

My jokes are pretty funny, my friend's jokes are pretty funny, I laugh about 27 times a day. I like funny things. I like comedy. Where's the good stuff on TV/DVD/VHS? I'm sick of having to make myself laugh.

I want recommendations outside the following:

Funny to reasonably funny things I am aware of: Reeves & Mortimer stuff, Ricky Gervais stuff, Bill Hicks, Rich Hall, Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mighty Boosh, Russel Brand when he's not presenting TV shows...

Not funny things I am aware of: Little Britain, "Am I bovvered", The Vicar of Dibley, Comedy Cutz, any female comedian that ever walked the planet (unless you can recommend someone I've not tried) and of course most things trying to pass as comedy.

I just want to laugh at something.
