Mel Giedroyc seems a very, very nice person. She was on Taskmaster, but the humour from the pair is very weak and wishy washy. They are like a female Ant and Dec.
Are they funny though?Hardly - if you like them or not Ant and Dec are very good at what they do as acknowledged every year and by the contracts they negotiate. The celebrity programme advertising shots are like gold dust - more expensive than Champions League games.
Hmm, mixed bag.Have a word about Miranda, Citizen Khan and Russell Howard too
Oh while you are there a mention for Sarah Millican, James Corden, Russel Brand, Russel Kane, Jack Whitehall.
Thanks in advance
Are they funny though?
I don't watch them and only see clips and ads and trailers etc. They never seem to be funny.
Aren't they always supposed to be having witty banter?
I am not talking about their hosting skills.
They ARE funny?They clearly are or they wouldn’t have record viewing figures and attract massive advertising revenues for ITV for years
They ARE funny?
Eh? You sure?
Don't get that logic at all.Well public opinion says yes they are. They are the most successful duo on British television by a country mile.
Well isn't that exactly what Mel and Sue's humour is? On the GBBO all their humour is very childish and corny.When people laugh at Ant and Dec although it's usual corny humour I don't look at them with hate like I do when it's Miranda or Mrs Brown Boys. If it is a family member there's that feeling of being let down and not really knowing somebody.
Saturday Night Takeaway isn't bad family entertainment, the Generation Game though, jeez.
Don't get that logic at all.
I am not doubting their hosting skills. I think Mel and Sue are pretty decent too. They did a good job on the GBBO. They just aren't funny though and THAT is what I am talking about.
How many records did Boyzone sell? How many number ones did they have? Does that make them good?
Are you saying Mrs. Brown's Boys is really good because loads of people watch it?
Don't get that logic at all.
I am sure Ant and Dec must be very good hosts. They keep winning awards. I am talking about them NOT being funny though.

It’s nothing to do with hosting - they front a live Saturday entertainment show on prime time slot and front a live reality show for many many years which only functions because of their interplay and humour.
You make no sense.
I haven't. I said I haven't.When have you watched Ant and Dec then - what show?
Weren't nearly all Morecambe and Wise's jokes scripted by someone else though? Dick Hills and Sid Green and then Eddie Braben.Mrs browns boys is a great shout. It’s just not funny.
Any and dec are an interesting one, some of there stuff is worth a chuckle I guess but then they read it all off auto Q. So all their jokes are scripted by someone else. Hardly a comedy masterclass.
Unfortunately I script my own.Can u have word about Otis as well thanks
Ha! Yep.I'm more concerned, if not surprised, by Grendel settling down with a nice mug of Horlicks on a Sunday evening to watch the Generation Game

No, you make no sense. You are saying they ARE funny because loads of people watch them.
Mrs. Brown's Boys therefore IS funny.
We are talking at cross purpposes. Very clearly.
I am ONLY talking about them being funny. Nowt else.
You are very clearly right , yet again, as you always are, every single time.I have never watched it - like Otis i know if things are funny or not by not watching them.
Never seen it. Just doesn't appeal to me. Nowt to do with them, I just don't like the concept.Ant and Dec are pretty funny on I’m a Celebrity.
Just saying.
About as funny as a boil on your arse Nick!Not even a whiff of Mrs Brown's Boys in the thread yet?
Morecambe and Wise had find tuned their act over decades and it helped with them being so likeable too.I was with you on the lack of humour and all of those that the other guys mention too, but Porridge "boring"? I know we all have different tastes but that would sit right at the top for me. Often obvious jokes, but the scripting and acting are excellent and some of the delivery and timing is impeccable (imo of course).
*caveat - I don't get the whole Morecambe and Wise 'genius' tag - feels a bit like emperor's new clothes to me, so perhaps comparable to your dislike of Porridge.
what you talkin about Willis?Different Strokes
