Comic Geniuses

Good counter attacking boxing.

More pizza over here please.

Off Grafton Street - opposite Bruxelles and Phil Lynott statue

Yeah i just realised that. Ive spent too much time in the smoking area of Bruxelles to forget that.

Smokers are jokers.

Careful or you’ll get what the Argies got - a right good smack in the eye

Another person for the comic genius list

Ball Ox - His poetic musings were genius not to mention his random racism

Ball Ox was very close to being reinstated.

Then he started issuing threats re prank calling and harassing admin and global moderator(s).

There’s craziness in that one, alright.

Right, see you bhoys in the pub.

I’ll be the one wearing green Celtic boxer shorts if you don’t recognise me.

Just looking at all the hostility betwixt Farmer and Raven - next years Christmas party should be explosive.

Doug Stanhope is a genius. Only really started watching his stuff after i saw him on Charlie Brooker’s newswipe

His stand up is hilarious

Indeed. You may have noticed he was top of my list way back at the start of this thread. Have a couple of DVDs of his. His stuff on the Olympics last year was quality

I had seen bits and pieces of him before but never watched a full stand up. He is excellent. i bumped this thread due to your recommendation. i felt you could do with the validation after a couple of tough weeks on here

Some great playful banter between myself and Fingal Raven on this thread.

[quote=“farmerinthecity, post: 25252, member: 24”]Agree pretty much with Bandage there

Moran is very good (comic genius is pushing the boat out a bit though)
O’Brian overrated
Ed Byrne simply disgraceful

I think some of the stuff Pat Shortt did with D’unbelieveables was comic genius - particularly the Crimebusters scene with the two country guards from D’Telly

Remember Who’s Line is It Anyway? What a quality show that was.

Other people not good enough to be classified as comic geniuses but still funny:
Stephen Fry
Paul Merton
Kevin McAleer

Don’t know for the life of me how someone could say the creators of South Park are comic geniuses in the first instance but if you put them in how can you put them in before The Simpsons[/quote]

I was only talking to Pat the other day… Expect his daughter to make the home grown talents thread in about 2-3 years.

Bernard Manning was my favourite stand up.

Off the Telly in recent times Rick Mayall is a legend. The boys who wrote the Fast Show also.

It’s not that I agreed with what he said but that he was so unashamed about saying it that appealed to me.

He was the original.

Richard Pryor was and is the greatest comedian.

Gervais, Ricky
