# I think my main problem with Stewart Lee
is that I think he's fucking good, but not as fucking good as HE thinks he is.

# Entirely this.
"Have you read Harry Potter? It's really good."

"No I haven't, because I'm an adult - smarm smarm smarm - what I have read, however, is the collected works of all the classical poets, William Blake and oh my GOD just look at how great I am!"

# Yeah but
adults who read Harry Potter (not to their kids) really should get out more

I think he wasn't being smarmy about reading highbrow literature, he was saying there's better things to read than kids books about wizards.

for me to even consider that possibility.

# And so one must define "better" and "should"
I mean - I still read Viz. Should I be shot?

I watched The Princess Bride the other day, and genuinely enjoyed it. What of me now?

Are films to have a "Not to be viewed by people over the age of" certificates?

# well
Is vis funny now? stopped being funny ages ago.

Nothing right with TPB - best awful film ever.

There are films that should be watched before other films. anything before a tom hanks for example.

# It's always been a curate's egg.
Generally the editorial is better than the cartoons these days, whereas it used to be the other way 'round.

Drunken Bakers, Raffles, is good, and there's a cartoonist with quite a blocky style that's jolly good too, though.

# Yeah well he was another one.
Worshipped by angry, impotent Western boys - of which I was one - blindly, adoringly, and unquestioningly. Which was somewhat ironic, given his discourse.

# I think you could say that about 99% of the people on this board.
However, he is extremely good at performing stand-up. Regardless if people find it funny or not.
(waxdart hello., Tue 14 Apr 2009, 14:54, archived)
# And here was me thinking that was the point of it.
I couldn't say that about a lot of the people on this board that I know well enough to know their personalities. Not everyone in this world is so sure of themselves, and good for them. I'd rather be around a humble idiot than a twat of a genius. That's just me though, I'm annoyed by undeserved self congratulation. He's fairly intelligent and tells jokes for a living, he's not doing anything of any importance. Obviously neither am I, but then I'm all fine with that.

# Mark Thomas is

# *googles* oh, him.
I'm sure I've seen some of his performances, but they've made not one scratch on my memory.

# I never said he was importance.
He's very good at doing standup - the funny part is a matter of taste.

How many comedians does it take to change a light bulb?
Comedy never changed anything
(waxdart hello., Tue 14 Apr 2009, 15:01, archived)
# I didn't say you did
I was more saying that he acts as if he IS important in the grand scheme of things- he certainly has a go at people like he's got a leg to stand on.

# No - that was a joke, little Captain
Q: "How many comedians does it take to change a light bulb?"

A: "Comedy never changed anything."

It was 3 repeats, wasn't it?

# No for maximum effect you need to say:
"The other day somebody asked me how many comedians it takes to change a lightbulb, I said comedy never changed anything."

Then repeat the joke identically for 12 years.

Ok, then.

# Richard Herring was always the funny one
(I helped save b3ta! Joe Scaramanga with a G-double-O-D vibration, Tue 14 Apr 2009, 15:20, archived)
# Although his current solo career would probably disagree.

Anyway Kevin Eldon was clearly the funny one. Kevin Eldon is just brilliant generally.
(Jeru War and Piss, Tue 14 Apr 2009, 15:21, archived)
# Indeed
I saw him once on the street, shouted "Oi Kevin!" very drunkenly.

He looked very sheepish and gacve me a little wave.

Bless 'im

# I didn't realise he is actually a weird esoteric type of buddist.
Can't quite mesh him and buddhism without my mind just refusing the concept.

# The same joke, three times?
I'm wrong, he's a genius.

O_o

It's like Catherine Tate with a semen stained mirror. Or something.

# That, in itself, is a truly disturbing image...
Just Tate, that is, although what you said worries me greatly.

wanking in a mirror. You know, because he loves himself so much.

It's good that you help me figure out the more 'darker imagery'

;-)

# I'm not
I'm massively insecure and questioning of everything I do
It's why I don't get out much

# That's the same problem I have with Michael Mcintyre.
And also that he's not funny.

Floaty boats and all that.
