Boys Who Do Comedy - Part 3

[@Sharriska]

Every time I see Noel I just must smile. It's an involuntary reaction.

[@LilMissLunchbox]

It was the end...the very end of Noel's story that did it for me. I coughed from laughing so hard. xD

[@Fenrisaconite]

XD I looked him and Noel Fielding up as soon as I saw the credits...I've been hooked on both of them for 4 days...XO

[@Diefzilla]

Yeeeey! Bill Bailey at last!

[@Spoiltlilprincess]

Keeping Simon Pegg quiet? Is that even possible? Haha love Simon. This is so interesting seeing a slightly different side to these comedic geniuses. Thanks for uploading these :)

[@darkdante23]

thanks for upload!

[@Duet4Peace]

I'm in such a mess, I'm crying, can't stop laughing over Noel at the end...

[@hothotheat3000]

Simon's laugh is great.

[@WarningDontReadThis]

I love Dawn's laugh XD

[@ketmaniac]

Marc Wootton. He's been in various things, such as Gavin & Stacey and Nighty Night.

[@rosedarwin6547]

"...the ones who wrote about carpets of snow, and used words like verdent." John Cleese. We all know them. Even though I'm one, I'm still laughing...

[@123bekx123]

mee 2 !!! they r fit!!!!!!

[@nathelondon3719]

Groucho claimed that Harpo was the cleverest and funniest but Groucho himself was the fastest and perhaps the greatest American comedian of all time. RIP both.

[@cameronthewelsh]

[@123bekx123]

how can you not know russell brand??? lol hes fit!

[@Fenrisaconite]

Who is the guy with the beanie?

[@hannahtheplatt]

amen.

[@mel0292]

lenny henry int on this one is he?

[@zammmerjammer]

@ohnoher There's also an assumption in the world (not just entertainment but journalism and academia too) that while women are interested in stories about men, men are not interested in stories about women. Which, if true, is pretty sad.

[@janajswe]

I bet all my fortune that She did not asked of Mr. Cleese about this. :-D

[@SnapCrackleKABOOM]

where's jonathan ross? :)

[@randomist92]

EDDIE IZZARD!

[@emmawrighttome]

I think that Dawn French's "Girls who do comedy" is way funnier than this male version, but I think it just depends.

[@hannahtheplatt]

if you said 'black people aren't that funny', that would be racism. saying 'women aren't that funny' is sexism.

[@dramaticafantastica]

what, marc wootton?

[@ohnoher]

I disagree with you. Women are just as funny as men are. The comedy world is just a very male dominated business (like most businesses), so males are usually the ones who get top billing and ever really "make it." That's not to say that the fellas here haven't earned their keep (oh how I love Eddie Izzard); it's just important to acknowledge the role that good old fashion sexism plays in the entertainment world.

[@Arkantos117]

People do still do women problems, they always will, it's a comedy act that works for them, don't generalise by saying "no one". Also, in what way am I 'keeping brilliant female comics in the dark'? If you actually could comprehend what I typed, you'd realise that I give everyone a chance, I don't refuse to watch something just because they're female, but from what I've seent the majority aren't that great. I'm not prejudiced, it's just something that I've observed.

[@hollysimonsmotiondesign]

Mark Wootten

[@emmawrighttome]

anyone else think the penis question was a bit too personal? (although very funny!)

[@PseudoGoSu]

lol the 12 year olds

[@Arkantos117]

I never said it was a fact, I compared it to biological because I was trying to point out how it's not sexism/racism as long as there is sufficient evidence to back the claim. I never hounded you to use evidence, I said that if there is evidence for what you're saying then you're not sexist/racist, you're not prejudiced and jumping to conclusions. You just fail to see the meaning behind words and god forbid should you ever work for an intelligence agency.

[@keepthefaith06]

Russell Brand lol

[@Arkantos117]

It's not a preconception so much as something i've concluded, I watch all comedians without prejudice, if they're funny then they're funny. There are funny women, but the MAJORITY aren't that great, some of them only get by on the whole "women problems" crap too, which is irritating, I prefer unisex comedy. The business is male dominated because there are a lot more funny males around who want to go into comedy imo.

[@mattb666]

He's very private, never does interview

[@pakesy]

Johnathon Ross isn't worthy of being interviewed alongside any of these comedy stars and i think Dawn knew that so didn't waste her time with him.

[@maisonneuve]

ugh this is SO dumb! As if this kind of conversation still exists! It has nothing to do with the male or the female sex, it has to do with the comedian themselves! That's like saying that Sarah Silverman only appeals to Jews, but Richard Pryor appeals to both black and white people. Give me a break. If you find French and Saunders, or other fantastic comediennes alienating then you're the problem, not them.

[@Strarnin]

That is most definitely true. Sexism is still a huge factor - although you could also say that comediennes like Victoria Wood, Jo Brand and Jenny Eclair alienate male audiences by doing predominantly female-centric material. I tried to think of as many women comics as I could, and out of only 19 there were 5 who I didn't find extremely annoying. Although, I haven't yet done the same with male comics... there is no excuse for that grotty little pleb Jim Davidson!!!

[@Arkantos117]

No, i'm saying that sociologically women aren't as funny as men.

[@Strarnin]

why are men inherently so much funnier than women? with a few exceptions (French & Saunders, Victoria Wood)

[@Arkantos117]

It's not sexism, the majority of female comedians just aren't that funny.
