Michael McIntyre
Obvious, I know, but what the fuck is the appeal? He's just rejigging Peter Kay's "talk about mundane things" riff for middle-class people. Without being funny at any point

I dislike both, but McIntyre is more watchable for me than that dick Kay

the appeal of him for the BBC
is that he is safe. Completely so. He's not going to do a Frankie Boyle or any other decent comedian, and say something ridiculously and outrageously funny (yet probably offensive)

A good point
But who the fuck is buying the DVDs?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 12:45, Reply)

I reckon
that Michael McIntyre himself is buying them and hoarding them up so he can be surrounded by smugness playing 24/7 in an entirely plasma tv covered room.

At least that's what I hope for the sake of our nation

That's not so bad
All we have to do is find that room

And burn it

Excellent
then the wicked witch Michael McIntyre will lose his power
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:01, Reply)

My fucking mum is buying them.
And generally giving them to me as presents along with Andy Fucking Parsons.

Whilst I feel your pain
You really should know better than to put "fucking" and "my Mum" in the same sentence
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 12:55, Reply)

It's normally more along the lines of
"No, I can't come out, I'm fucking my mum tonight"
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:22, Reply)

Now. Andy. Parsons'. Delivery.
Is the most. Irritating. Thing. On. Earth.

ha!
you like Bowie more than Andy Parsons!
(Bazongaloid, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:08, Reply)

In my head now
is a horrible, horrible half-formed concept of a kind of Bowie/Parsons hybrid, with Parsons delivering the lyrics of Bowie in his own inimitable way.

"Now. Put on, your. Red. Shoes. And dance. The Blues"

Russell Howard?
I saw some of his standup. it was fucking hilarious. nice dose of random weirdness.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:10, Reply)

Yes him.
Guy I used to work with lived next door and occassionally used to hide in the bush outside the house and as Russell walked past sing "I'm watching yoooouuu"

Which makes me think maybe Russell attracts weirdness and all his stories are actually true
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:14, Reply)

I like Russell Howard
In fact I'd go so far as to say, Would.

Odd little chap, but would.

But he's so childish...
It great in his stand-up but could you imagine shagging him whilst he grins like a 13 year old on calpol and sings nursery rhymes with naughty swear words in?!
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:26, Reply)

sadly I can imagine that

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:29, Reply)

He is rather childish
but he looks like he'd be willing and grateful.

Works for me.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:49, Reply)

He's fucking cross-eyed!
It makes him look more than a little Downsy.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:37, Reply)

Yes.
Strangely enough I find this rather endearing.

Rather like an injured puppy I think.

Do you live in Bristol now?
He's a Bristol Lad innit? Or has he moved to the arse-end of nowhere midlands?
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:21, Reply)

He has moved to the
bestest place in the land
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:22, Reply)

Oh, so he's back in Bristol.
Excellent.
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:23, Reply)

do you refer to yourself as a Bristolier?
because you should do

or a Bristolero
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:30, Reply)

Like a gondolier?
I'm more of a Bristolini.
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:33, Reply)

I was thinking more like a pistolier
or pistolero
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:44, Reply)

or a
'King-size Brizzler'
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 13:39, Reply)

I'm starting to dislike you
