Someone on Amberl's facebook said
The Irish suck at comedy with the exception of Father Ted.

I don't know this person so didn't want to start an argument with them but... The IT Crowd, Sean's Show, Soupy Norman, Black Books. Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne are pretty damn good too.

Q: Which nationality really sucks at comedy. Kein Punkt fur Deutschland.

Rab C Nesbitt is shockingly unfunny
As is Billy Connelly. Still Game is very funny. I can't think of much else though that's world class, across the board funny :(

Learning things is good.
QI is not a bad way of learning things.
However, constantly regurgitating things that you, and everyone else, have seen on QI gets dull pretty quick. Perhaps you could try learning one or two things from somewhere else?
