Why is it silly? Comedians try to be funny, trying to be funny isn't funny, therefore comedians are not funny.
So the most insightful modern philosopher the world has ever produced, who also happened to be a comic, the legendary Bill Hicks wasn't funny?Nor was
Lenny Bruce
Richard Pryor
Billy Connolly
Bill Bailey
And many many many others?
I'm guessing you find someone slipping on a banana skin hilarious?
Stewart Lee, never been funny, just sounds like the pseudo intellectual that we all know that uses big words to sound intelligent and isn't.
and Omid Djili blows hot and cold, the sketch the other night about recycling was funny, the henry viii just wasn't.
was funny in mean machine though

See his silent Bohemian Rhapsody live.I dare you not to laugh.
But - Bohemian Rhapsody... just not funny at all, no matter how many times he does it.
nothing more narrow minded than saying a comedian is "not funny"...the very fact they are on TV means that many others disagree. You can say "i dont fnd them funny" or "i don't know why others find them funny, i hate em" but simply "they aren't funny" is ridiculous. It's the sort of retarded thinking that has the Daily Mails forum full of people demanding Ross is dumped from the Beeb because he showed up to the BAFTAs!
Even worse though is people who demand EVERYONE regard their favorite as funny no matter what - the sort of thinking normally reserved for Bill Hicks and similar (who i like, but can quite easily see why others may prefer Dawn French)
