Guest posiedon Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I liked Connolly in the 70s and 80s, but we went to see him at the Clickimin last time he was here, and I thought he was very poor. Eddy Izzard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAStewart Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 So who is funny then?Compared to Ricky Gervais, cancer would be hilarious. Firstly, thats really not very appropriate. Secondly, its just plain wrong. Ricky Gervais > Comedy. Gervais owns comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOYAANISQATSI Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Firstly, thats really not very appropriate. As you yourself are a Chubby fan, I'd love to hear why you find my remark inappropriate.I keenly await your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ricky Gervais has got that kind of face you just want to smack! (hard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifi Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Bring back Connolly circa late 60's/early 70's, the XXX rated early Club material, before he sold out to mass market and international commercial appeal. That stuff was funny.I saw him live in '73. Very funny, we were aching with laughing so much and his treatment of hecklers was great.

It is inappropriate to compare someone's characteristics to cancer, a disease that kills many people. Chubbs would never compare someone to cancer, he's not that stupid.

KOYAANISQATSI Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 It is inappropriate to compare someone's characteristics to cancer, a disease that kills many people. I have many family members who have fallen to cancer but I fail to see why this makes the word taboo. Now then, on to chubbers:During his long career, he has caused offence by mocking various things, including race, women, the Queen Mother (whose death occurred hours before Standing Room Only began recording)In the early 1990s he was run off stage in Middlesbrough in the first few minutes of a show. At the height of a child abuse scandal in the town, he opened his show by saying "I'm surprised there are so many of you here - I thought you'd all be at home playing with your kids.http://tinyurl.com/yj4uy9 Not to mention his many referances to puffs and nig nogs.But then I dont suppose racism kills people. he's not that stupid.Maybe not but somebody here is.

JAStewart Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hey I still find what he says is in bad taste. I don't approve of all his comedy, but I still find him funny when he's talking about sex and stuff like that. Maybe not but somebody here is.It good you at least admit it. I have many family members who have fallen to cancer but I fail to see why this makes the word taboo.I didn't say it was taboo. I didn't stop you from saying it, I just said that it is inappropriate, which it is. eg Someone calling me a 'dick' to my face is inappropriate, but they're at liberty to do so regardless. If they're at liberty to do so then surely I am at liberty to point out that I find it inappropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOYAANISQATSI Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 It good you at least admit it. It good me no get lonely here den.

If they're at liberty to do so then surely I am at liberty to point out that I find it inappropriate. As much as your invitation appeals to me, I must regretfully decline.

Spinner72 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 ^^ Classic scene, and a great comment on the state of TV today. I thought the Extra's special was perhaps the most perfect entertainment program ever made. Great collection of cameos, but by far the best was Karl Pilkingtons appearance. Such a shame that level of quality, continuity and detail is so rare these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
