Paul Merton is funny on HIGNFY

If you watch him week in week out, you will notice that he rarely laughs if other people make a joke that gets a big laugh. This corresponds to my friends experience of him. He’s not widely liked by other comedians on the circuit apparently and he doesn’t do Red Nose Day, go on panel shows or other people’s radio programmes either. I get the impression he’s a moody unpopular cunt. 

One of the things I've always liked about him is that he rarely laughs, is very dry and to be fair I have seen him piss himself at someone else's jokes. he doesn't do it often but he definitely does. Maybe he just doesn't find most things that funny. I bet if you asked him he would probably say he doesn't know how he gets a platform to be funny. I'm certain he couldn't give a flying fuck what Jack Whitehall and Lenny Henry think of him. You probably cracked a joke and he just looked at you vacantly wondering who the fuck you are and why you would say something so tragically unfunny. 

 

I might be wrong. He probably is a cunt. He is definitely the main reason I watch HIGNFY though. If he left it would have the same impact as Frankie Boyle leaving Mock the Week. It would become pointless.

I am a big Frankie Boyle fan. You should do a world cup of comedians. I reckon he'd be good for the semis at least. 

No because if Billy Connolly didn't win I'd kill earth

He'd probably get knocked out by that clown who does Mrs Brown.

I used to think that until they had those few programmes in lockdown via video. He must need an audience , he was hopeless in them and Ian Hislop actually came across more quick witted.

Ian Hislop can be one funny cutting bastard.

I’ve just signed up for a Private Eye subscription.

The final would be Larry David versus Richard Pryor. 

I don't find Larry David funny very much at all.

Hislop and Merton are both great. I think Merton's essentially semi retired and has been for years. 

[Total Longo]

Hislop is well funnier. Especially when he is doing his Jimmy Somerville impersonations.

I don't watch HIGNFY, but I think he's quite funny on Just a Minute.

Just a Minute isn't Just a Minute anymore. No Parsons, no Freud, no Kenneth Williams or Peter Jones

Been a while since I've listened to it, only just found out Parsons had died, shame that.

I was told in no uncertain terms not to snore when I come to bed tonight, after an unfortunate incident earlier in the week. She has to get up early tomorrow. I've just opened my 8th pint can of Carlsberg Export and I'm listening to the Gang of Four. Not sure if it's tricky or shameful, but I'd really like a wank and XHamster cam girls are calling. Modern life is great.
