Daily Mail backs Michael McIntyre - hurrah!

[Acker79]

Typical Mail article.

Anything offensive has no place these days, modern "alternative comedy" has no merit, and it is represented by the likes of the Ross/Brand/Sachs incident. Etc. No real understanding or appreciation for the full spectrum of comedy and so on

Oh, the irony.

I particularly like how instead of jokes he just shakes his hair. Very amusing.

Has anyone changed their mind about McIntyre since the 1st of multiple threads appeared on here? Thought not, I am happy to hold myself up to ridicule as still being a big fan and f*** the miserable sods who find him odious or a bit smug and middle class

Odious, smug, middleclass fiend

 

[CHAPPERS]

middleclass

Oh no! Not middle class!

 

[DerbyGull]

Oh no! Not middle class!

Upper class fiend

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Odious, smug, middleclass fiend

...who dyes his hair.

if they want to give a shameless plug to a Comedian they don't think offends anyone in an edgy way, why not Harry Hill?

I found it interesting in that article where it said MacIntyre has managed to cross-over into that safe Saturday night slot like Dave Allen before him. I saw Dave Allan live and he was effing and blinding throughout the set, completely unlike MacIntyre.

I think MacIntyre appeal is broader than simply Daily Mail readers. In fact he's probably got almost a broad an appeal as any other British comedian around today.

Can't let this one pass!

Michael McIntyre strikes £1/2m golden handcuffs BBC deal

"He is known to millions of fans for his wry observations on middle-class life. He also avoids the regular use of swear words."

Jonathon ross swears a lot and gets £6m. McIntyre doesn't and gets £500k. Wouldn't you expect the mail to lead with something more like "BBC encouraging the rape of our children's ears!"

From the figures McIntyre's far better paid than Ross. McINtyre has to do about 10 live shows a year. Ross had to do 40 radio shows, 20-30 Friday NIght shows and the same again of the film programmes. Plus Ross' figures include all the production and wages of the TV show

Unfunny? Yes. But "odious"??!!? Jesus, some people need to get a grip. He's just a COMEDIAN you f***ing morons.

 

[Icy Gull]

Ah the monthly bounce of the Wozza McIntyre threads..and nobodys opinions have changed since the one last month. Already looking forward to the February thread.

 

[Chesney Christ]

Take a look at Dominic Lawson.....

BELLEND

At the risk of offending your impenetrable sense of self-importance, I've seen some pretty odious comedians during the past few months. Although I'm not sure if any of them matched the description as neatly as Dominic Lawson.

If you want a real barrel of laughs just read the opinion page in the grauniad, oh and the letters.
