I just don't get itPoor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.
What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

Comedians who don't tell jokesOr make humorous observations, or sing silly songs, or do impressions, or even go off on surreal stream-of-consciousness rants. I am not talking about comedians whom I find merely "unfunny" (e.g Jim Davidson, Joe Pasquale,Mark Steele, Jimmy Carr, Jo Brand etc). I can appreciate at least these people are trying and can knock out some jokes with actual punchlines (even if they are crap).
I am talking about that odd-looking Mel and Sue couple who also seem to be on TV, sustaining careers by appearing on reality TV shows and panel games. Or Rhona Cameron. Or that one off the Fast Show who has made a career of saying "does my bum look big in this?" Many more whose names I have not bothered to learn. What have they ever said or done to justify having "comedian" as their job title on their passport? Recite one joke they have told. Worse still, when they get they bored of this, they decide to become novelists and people even buy their books. It always seems to be women comedians. Maybe it's a man thing.
