I'm guessing that was the whole point of it, like you're supposed to laugh at the jokes that aren't being said or something? I just don't think I'll get his comedy. I've only dipped in and out of his stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an acquired taste, can easily see why people don't like him but it's just an act, the comedy vehicle episodes about books and the countryside from series one, he's stuff on Islamic stand up and Osama bin ladens death are some great comedy writing though Edited April 2, 2016 by Jimzk5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I laugh at Russell Howard [emoji4] No more questions your honour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Stewart Lee is very clever but I don't really find him funny. Russell Howard is crap. Very obvious 'jokes' and I use that word loosely. Katie Hopkins is inflammatory scum and her success is all due to negative attention so it pains me to even write about her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Katie Hopkins is inflammatory scum and her success is all due to negative attention so it pains me to even write about her. I almost feel sorry for her, that desperate for fame and attention and extending her incredibly short and undeserved spot in the limelight that she spouts utter shit that she simply cannot believe to be true, what a sad depressing way to live your life, I bet when she's alone with her thoughts she goes to some proper dark places 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 She's one of two things for me: she's either that ignorant and evil that she does believe what she preaches and in that case she's scum, or as you say she doesn't really believe these things and she does it for fame, attention and money in which case she has no soul and is scum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made people like Hopkins relevant when we gave every nut job a voice on the interest via Twitter , you tube and whatever else you can't really single her for out for your scorn she no worse an attention seeking whore than Russel Brand at the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Odd, that's actually among my least favourite routine of his, along with that bit about his Nero card. I much prefer his stuff from around the 90's comedian era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the odd clip here and there, the braveheart bit for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like him, but at least he has somewhat of an educated point of view on society, as much of a faux-Ché Guevara wannabe he is and the annoying and pretentious way he presents these opinions. He also has a legitimate career aside from preaching his brand of politics every now and again. Hopkins is just a bigoted, extreme right-wing, hate-filled moron who has no idea what she's on about. Attacking parents who name their kids after countries when her daughter is called India is evidence enough of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
