The same could be said for music tastes. Peeps out there are quick to slag boy-bands like ‘one direction’ on forums. Again, I’m not a fan and would not listen to them, yet I acknowledge that their sounds appeal to a huge audience otherwise they would not be the biggest boy-band out there at the moment in terms of popularity.

The bottom line here is that we all have different tastes and a world of clones would be a boring world. :(

George W Bush, made me laugh more than any other comedian with his brilliant one-liners like, ‘all our imports come from abroad’. ;D ;D ;D

My personal GWB classic: "The problem with the French is they don't have a word for Entrepreneur..." ;D ;D ;D

I never found Tommy Cooper funny until he died on stage. I thought it was the funniest act he had done them realised he was actually died and felt terrible.

I don’t call someone who continually 'tries' to take the p#ss out of the audience a comedian, which to be fair is all I have seen him do. Anyone can do that, cheap humour. Nicht gut in my opinion.

I guessing you've not watched much of him then. The bulk of his act revolves around him taking the piss out of himself. Be it his failed attempt to woo Serena Williams or how small his willy looked when he was filmed as a student doing a naked protest.
If somone in the audience is stupid enough to challenge him then he'll let them have it. Quite right too.
His show Ponderland was one of the funniest things on TV and is now being shamelessly ripped off by Paddy McGuinness.

Agreed. I wish I had a vocabulary half as good as his!

It's a shame he acts like a twat as he is possibly one of the most intelligent people I've heard interviewed.

If we all liked the same things, the world would be a boring place.....unless you liked the same things as me.
Then it'd be frickin' AWSOME! ;D
