[Humour] Tim Vine

[tinycowboy]

Wouldn't get annoyed about Tim Vine. I'll tell you what makes my blood boil: crematoriums.

I dont personally find him at all funny an with very poor jokes but each to their own. In the past many found Roy Chubby Brown funny but I didnt.

Tim Vine is a comedian whose routine is mainly infantile but innocent puns, family friendly and innocous. With decades of comedians to choose from, you liken him to... a man who was the most obvious example of sexist, racist, homophobic, adult, boundary pushing stand up. What an odd choice.

It was just a comparison of peoples likes and dislikes not the individual styles of the comedians.

I saw this advert in a window that said: ‘Television for sale, £1, volume stuck on full.’ I thought, ‘I can’t turn that down.

I was having dinner with my boss and his wife said, ‘How many potatoes would you like, Tim?’. I said ‘Ooh, I’ll just have one please.’ She said ‘It’s OK, you don’t have to be polite.’ ‘Alright,’ I said, ‘I’ll just have one then, you stupid cow.

do you consider either of those to be remotely funny?

I find them harmlessly funny clearly demonstrating the ambiguities of the English language, yes BG. I take it you don't then?

The remotely is broken.

No I thought they were awful and certainly wouldnt pay to hear someone say it.

This may well be the stumbling block.

 

[Norman Potting]

Yes. In the same way that I find Milton Jones' humour funny ie " ....you know that film "Minions" - I sent someone to watch it for me the other day"

#12 above nails it for me.

Of course it made you smile. If you have to comment to boost your post count, please lighten up ffs.

I sold my hoover the other day
Well it was just collecting dust

He'll be in Brighton on Tuesday evening. As part of the cinecity festival, Dukes at the Komedia are showing the film he has written and directed called 'FearMoth', and he will be doing a Q&A after the film.

Here's the blurb from the cinema's website:

“A giant moth is attacking this village and I’m the manager of the lightbulb shop” exclaims Paul Kingswood (Tim Vine) in this ridiculous film. What on earth has attracted a giant moth to the village of Hazelpocket in the first place? The council headed by Mayor Blueberry battle to find a solution. Meanwhile Paul continues to look for ways to rid himself of his chronic fear of the dark, brought on by an incident involving his son Ellery and a department store lift. As the moth sightings begin to increase so does the tension in the village. And just what does strange moth expert Kooharoo know that nobody else does? Comedian Tim Vine is also writer and director of the ensuing mayhem. This is the first time a Tim Vine film has been shown at a film festival. Fearmoth also boasts CGI-free action sequences. Moth suspension wires are visible.

Followed by Q&A with Tim Vine hosted by the writer and actor Graham Duff.​

I think it sounds wonderfully bonkers.

Thanks for that. I'll be there.

Thanks for that. I'll be there.

What did you think?

 

[The Clamp]

He has a very funny radio show.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Jim Davison and Jimmy Jones but the latter never swore just insinuations Kin Hell .

He most certainly did. Kinell was a catchphrase of sorts but he most certainly swore including using the word he was replacing frequently as well.

Humour isn't a matter of right or wrong, different people find different things funny. It's as simple as that.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

See what you didn't do there!

To be perfectly honest, I thought it was dreadful. To me it wasn't remotely funny and thank god it wasn't horrifying. I smiled a couple of times while it was showing and must have dozed off a bit. He strikes me as being quite a nice bloke and his presence enhanced the evening, but at 1 hour and 20 minutes, I found the film about as entertaining as watching Poyet's Albion.

Ah, shame. I thought it had a certain charm, especially when put into the context of it being a film he made just for the fun of making a film, rather than being one he intended to release. I know I've done that with friends and I neer managed anything to that standard (but then, I don't have his budget). I have also seen some pretty bad films in my time, so my tolerance for poor quality films is quite high.

I liked lot of the little jokes, the ringtones, shining the light over the kids eyepatch and asking if he can see it, the empty dinner plates, the hidden crevasse, etc.
