This is a question Heroes and villains of 2011

Who were your heroes or villains of the last year, and why? Who inspired you? Who had you kicking the cat across the room? They don't have to be well known, you might even want to laud the achievements of your binman. (Note that "Nick Clegg nuff said" answers puts you straight onto our naughty list)

Hero
Stewart Lee

He's just so intelligent and well read, and makes fantastically funny, clever jokes. It's like he turns comedy on it's head, shakes it about, then turns it back up again, and reinvents it!

He's so post-modern and cool. I've got rather a crush on him - he's terribly witty - good-looking, too.

That nasty man wished death upon Richard Hammond.
You monster.

Hahahahahahaha!
Gosh he's just so funny!

He reads a lot of books, you know. Because he's really clever. Intelligent books, not Harry Potter - Shakespeare and stuff - Wordsworth, Dickens - he's so intelligent. Did you know he's really intelligent? And reads a lot of books?

God I fancy him.

Wait,
are you Richard Herring?

No.
I'm not hilariously funny or just a little bit risque and controversial.

Harry potter not intelligent?
I beg to differ.

Personally I don't find him amusing in the slightest
It's like he doesn't know how to tell a joke properly and always gets it wrong. Now that Lee Evans, when he pulls a funny face and falls over, that's proper comedy that is.

No no no.
Lee Evans is a sweaty high-pitched ballsack that thinks no one will notice he's reselling Norman Wisdom to a new generation.
(, Wed 4 Jan 2012, 16:12, closed)
Amusingly enough, he denied that he's anything like Norman Wisdom
www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/theatre/drama/3626118/All-Ive-ever-felt-on-stage-is-pain.html

But you have to admit he's a genius - no-one does the squeaky voice, the silly walk, the funny expression and the falling over like Lee Evans. It's the subtlety with which he does it.

And the funny faces.
He's like a British Jim Carrey.
(, Wed 4 Jan 2012, 16:25, closed)
Oh, he's funny
I do like his movies, that Adam Sandler too

I smells trolling
but I agree that Mr Lee is indeed a good comedian.
(, Wed 4 Jan 2012, 16:13, closed)
I pretty much like all comedians.
I like some more than others, but none of them cause me a moments negative feeling.

Sean Lock is my favourite.

Stewart Lee is a smug, condescending prick
with a superiority complex regarding anything he considers beneath him, is what I think you're saying here.

His "Comedy" Vehicle was one of the biggest piles of self-satisfied pieces of hawkshite ever committed to television. How he got a second series is fucking beyond me.

The prick.

to be fair I think everyone feels superior to things they consider beneath them

(, Wed 4 Jan 2012, 20:20, closed)
Maybe you have a point.
But my point still stands. You know what I mean. I watched the first episode of "Comedy" Vehicle and it consisted of him doing a twenty minute routine about "the rappers, you know, on Top of the Pops" repeated ad nauseum. More fucking repetition than an entire series of Little Britain. At least that had Tom Baker being delightfully bonkers. And vomit.
(, Wed 4 Jan 2012, 22:12, closed)
Funny you chose Tom Baker
His role in little Britain is a shameless rip off of his role in Lee and Herring's 'Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World' from the early 90's

Never saw it, never heard of it.
Can't be arsed to Google it to see if you're just telling porkies.
(, Wed 4 Jan 2012, 23:50, closed)
Too cool to google
Radio 4 program with Tom Baker doing pretty much exactly what he did on little britain.

Gets an outing
on BBC7 Radio 4Extra, every now and then. Given that their playlist is endless repeats of repeats, it's bound to be on again.

Fair enough.

Must have been a lesser ver.of
Simon Townshend's Wonder World.
At least we got Catriona Rowntree out of that.
Oh & Woodrow of course!

You're just angling for him to quote you on his website
like he did with Vag

Whut?

Nobody did intelligent, well read and clever quite like
Benny Hill.
Is it true they found him dead for over two weeks with his pants at his ankles, still choking the snake?
