Circle wasn't great either but Sexie is just appalling and makes me wonder if a laugh track was put in cos there's no way the audience would be laughing that heartily at the crap jokes.

Dress to Kill in French is fucking funny though. It's on the special features bit of the Dress to Kill dvd.

I have one of his stand up dvds, he's just a shit version of Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor.
I agree.

His "characters" irony is somehwat lost in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back as he is pretty much just being himself. A racist bastard.

Everybody Hates Chris is also a terrible programme.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned David Cross but he's damn good. Can find a few of his shows in audio on torrentspy, limewire etc.
I was intrigued by David Cross, purely on the basis of Tobias in Arrested Development. I may investigate.

Anyone have an opinion on the great Ted Chippington? Someone who you have to 'get' to find funny I suppose.

I think not getting him might mean that you've GOT a sense of humour.

That was fucking terrible.

Don't know why.

My number 1 unfunny person just now though is either Roy Chubby "I'm a blatant rascist" Brown or that guy from Time Gentlemen Please.
