Ok, so i missed the end of it... but Ricky Fricking Gervais got number 11!!!

The guy is funny, dont get me wrong, but in his entire career he has done a semi stand up show twice...politics and animals. These 2 shows he only did really for tv and dvd as well. It was scripted, more like a play. It had a running order, it told a story, so it wasnt stand up!!!

Im sorry, but how stupid are the people who vote for these things?

There was some genius in the show though, and i'll print off the list later (i didnt see it but i know peter 'im so funny for the whole family' kay probably won it.

As for the prurists who said that denis leary copied bill hicks... get a life. Leary did copy a fair bit, but they overlapped, and denis reallyu only took over as bill hicks became less and less funny.

gervais isnt really a stand up to be honest, more character based.

i have seen many comedians live and none of them were fit to lace ken dodds boots, that guy was on for about 4 hours, he didnt want to get off the stage, genius.

Peter Kay is funny although repetitive, lee evans is quality, always a great performance, and a guy from liverpool who is now dead, called george roper was also quality (old school)

I dont know them all but I've seen Mike Reid a few times and he has had me in stiches, the blokes excellent. Better than Peter Kay IMO, I dont think he's that funny TBH. :cool:

Eddie Murphys stand up is amazing, not sure he should be that high up though.

The ones I couldnt believe:
Harry Hill being in the top 10
Bill hicks not being in the top 3
Jimmy Carr being on the list atall (he is funny for about 5 minutes then you have heard all the funny :censored:

that could spew from his mouth)
Jack Dee only being 13th.

Who votes for this :censored:

?

From Wiki:

"Murphy's comments about gays and AIDS in his standup routines were considered so vicious that some years later he apologized for the remarks."

Delerious and Raw are fantastic, the part when he is going on about the Italians when Rocky came out had me :censored:

my pants.

basically he said that he didnt want his girlfriend going and hanging out with gay men in case she got 'the aids' on her lips when they kissed at the end of the night.

not the most politcally correct thing ever..even if it was back in the day.

by **Dundalk** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:25 pm

Yeah that was never going to go down well

by **bigxchris** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:26 pm

The whole thing:

You know what's really scary? That new AIDS s---.

AIDS is scary 'cos it kills motherf------s, AIDS!

That ain't like the good ol' days when venereal disease was simple.

In the good old days, you got gonorhea, you d--- hurt, go get a shot, cleared right up.

Then they came out with herpes, you keep that s--- forever like luggage.

And now they got AIDS, that just kills motherf-----s.

Kills people ! It petrifies me 'cos girls be hanging out with [gay men].

One night they could be in the club having fun with their gay friend, give them a little kiss.

And go home with AIDS on their lips !

And then when her husband, like five years later goes to the doctor, he has it.

Husband: "AIDS?! But I'm not homosexual!"

Doctor (punchline): "Sure you're not homosexual..."[I]
