Agree?

Anyone on here that doesn't find him funny? I haven't met anyone yet who has said so.

He's certainly got a touch of Eric Morecambe about him and I think he makes Would I lie to You the best comedy programme on TV these days.

I don't like him.
He reminds me of someone's dad making jokes.
Sorry not for me at all.

I like him because it's simple comedy as it was meant to be. Not clever or political just gentle laughs

I can't stand him. I have to turn the telly over when he's on.

Okay, first two people I have ever met who don't like him!

Knew someone would somewhere in the world and the two people seem to be both on SBT!!

Very surprised. Would never think anyone would describe him as beige.

Oh well, each and every to their own.

I know some people don't find Eric Morecambe funny and I now know those people to be idiots, so there you go!

Would I lie To You is the best comedy panel show on the telly. Lee Mack is brilliant but so are the regulars too. When you talk about who is funny you'll always get a mixed reaction, I find Jason Manford unfunny but he seems to be popular. I said recently Billy Connelly is my favourite comic but someone said he thought he's crap. Comedy is subjective then ?

I really like Stewart Lee and I know he's definitely not to many people's taste. Also love it when Charlie Brooker does any of his wipes.

Comedy can be very fickle. I used to really like Lee Mack but although I haven't gone off him, so to speak, I can give him a miss. The same with Peter Kay. He was the funniest man on earth at one time. I would watch everything he did, but it can wear thin at times. My favourite comedian at the moment (and has been for a while) is Nina Conti, the female ventriloquist. Makes me laugh every time I watch her!

Been watching a lot of Lewis Black recently. Most of his DVDs can be found on youtube, would definitely recommend if you like your comedy angry and rant filled.

Back in the days when I lived in that London, we used to go to recordings of the Sketch Show. Lee Mack was the standout there, for sure.

But then I seem to be the only person I know who likes him! Tried to persuade one friend to watch Not Going Out and now I don't think she trusts my judgement on, well... anything.

(Incidentally, warm-up for the Sketch Show was a pre-fame Jimmy Carr. Same act but... one time he annoyed a load of Christians who spent the time arguing with him until he was broken, and spent his time apologising for any offence he'd caused)

He does punch quite hard doesn't he. Would have thought he would have mellowed in his old age.

I do like stuff that Greg Davies does. Cuckoo, Man Down! I think it is just the randomness and the way he says "you little bellend".
