I think it would be funny to punch him and perhaps use one of his outsize collars to choke him, other than that I can't think of anything amusing he's done.

That TV Burp show, is it on every Sunday?

I've found having teeth pulled at the dentists more fun

Not any more!!

I've seen him live a few times. First time he was unknown and very funny.

Saw him again about a year later and after a few TV appearances, but a majority of his material was the same and just not as funny the second time around.

Some of the early TV stuff made me chuckle, but I now try to avoid any programme he is in!!

I think the jokes he makes out of the non humerous stuff he uses is difficult at best. Could the people that don't like him make people laugh out of that??
I don't think you could..

So why do it? That's why for the most part he isn't funny, it is strained he is trying to get you to laugh at stuff is not funny by dressing in silly closes, speaking in a daft manner and making silly facial expressions.

To be fair people are willing to comment on:

Footballers, but yet they are not!

Singers, but can't sing a note!

Reality TV shows, but are not unwilling to enter for them.

The thing is with comedy, songs, TV (and football to a certain extent) is that they are entertainment. If they don't do the job, it doesn't matter whether I can or not, it's the fact that they can't!!

Although as a side issue, I think I could do a 5-10 minute stand up set!!

5-10 minutes stand up??! And you don't think you'd give up when the first joke you told there was a ****ty expression on your audiences face? You've got to have serious tallent for stuff like that, not anyone can just get up and do it correctly. Total respect to those who can, I wouldn't last 30 seconds

Didn't rate him at all until I saw him live by chance (mate dropped out so I went instead) and that did change my opinion. He started the 2nd part of his act in Welsh national dress (female), riding a disabled scooter doing a rendition of Catatonia's 'Road Rage'. Difficult to imagine and impossible to put into words but I will never come as close again to pi$$ing myself as I did that night.

However, I would acknowledge he's got limited appeal and a short shelf-life.

Cheers
Kav

Funny.

At least he doesn't have to revert to sex, swearing or nastiness.

I like those types of comics too, though!!

Not in the slightest bit funny, and I normally like the 'off the wall' type humour, but he's just not funny IMO.

Sorry

V. Funny.

Not too sure about the short shelf life - he's actually been around for years!!

Gotta go, got some badgers that need grooming....

I watched TV Burp on Sunday and was in fits of laughter. I think he's a bit hit and miss though.

Apparantly his TV Burp are just the results of the public emailing and writing in with their observations. I could wear big collars and grin inanely at the screen for half an hour a week and do a better job!!
I'm sure he's a lovely chap - but funny - him no - not at all - the content of his programmes - yes.
