You don't "get him or you don't"
in that it's not some test of your intellectual prowess. His humour appeals to some and not to others. The more off the wall you are, the more you polarise opinion. That's the only way he's similar to Izzard, their comedy is poles apart.

^This
I understand where Ross Noble is coming from, it just doesn't feel all that fresh to me. Whereas Izzard makes me crack up.

Same with Tim Minchin, I think 'cut price Bill Bailey' others think he's fantastic. Different viewpoints
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 10 Jan 2011, 16:15, Reply)

Izzard's humour is rooted in his education and intelligence and general knowledge
Noble's is more rooted in faux-stupidity, of himself and of others. I'm not a fan of that kind of humour, is all. I don't know why, nothing wrong with it, I just don't really find it funny. The same reason why Ricky Gervais is shite to me.

he has legs, that's a similarity.
he has eyes, that's another, or two if I want to get technical.

I know what you're saying TMB, let me clarify by saying I class them as unorthodox stand ups as neither really plans their set.

I agree about this, absolutely.
see above for more though, I'm not just being facetious, they generally root their comedy very differently although they are both unorthodox and play-it-by-ear.

Nah, I don't have a TV
My housemate was watching Buzzcocks on iplayer the other week, and Paloma Faith was on, and they were flirting with each other. If those two were allowed to breed, the world would implode due to too much 'smug, pretentious, unfunny, cunt' concentration in one place.

millions of other people who will have just as much if not more fun than him who will be funnier.

but who haven't made a successful career for themselves
and therefore don't have the same opportunity.

It's like every cunt ever saying 'I could do better than Damien Hirst' and then not one of them ever making an actual move towards giving it a shot.

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 10 Jan 2011, 16:37, Reply)

not sure whether I agree
or not.

Can't remember if I am guilty of saying that I could do better. I suspect not. Even with how shit U2 are, I still don't proclaim to be able to do better. This speaks more about my own ego these days I think.

I try not
to claim to be better than people. But I do think I could do a better sketch show than Frankie Boyle and half the other crew, but sadly they don't accept open submissions

Media coverage is different ,he has done enough to hang around with the same old shit for now
but it won't last. Look at Russell Brand, he had fuck all going for himself so has bagged a spastic yank and gone into shit movies as he can't carry on being shit for a living. Fielding has made such a fuss about being lolwaki he has effectively condemned himself to fail as anything he does will either be the same and shit or new and trying to hard and therefore shit.
