Gay comedians

Watched Julian Clary on the Jack Dee show at the Apollo the other night and thought to myself, why do these gay comedians (the ones I've seen) always make sexual innuendos? Why can't they just be FUNNY! The type of stuff they say was funny in the early 90's when I was 13, it's not humorous, it's utter shit and it's like dragging the bottom of the comedy barrel, in fact these gay comedians are about as funny as a Garry Glitter joke at a Christening.

The same goes for Boy George and Graham Norton. All they ever do is make stupid gay remarks.

    Boy George isnt what you would term as a comedian really.

    I think you are focusing too much on the gay thing, when actually they are just crap, Julian Clary's fault isnt his sexuality, its the fact that he is rubbish.

    I'd agree with you about Graham Norton too, he is much funnier when he isnt doing the whole camp act. His appearances on Radio 4 are much more toned down and he can be very funny.

    I think sexual innuendos are funny.

    There's a rug shop next to my halls and ever time I pass it it tickles me. Why shouldn't people talk about sex? You can take the piss outta accents, places, traits that people have and so on... Sex shouldn't be a tabo in mopiion.

    But saying things like 'oh I was at a BBQ yesterday, it wasnt long before I had my hands on a big juicy sausage' gets really old, really quickly.

    Eddie Izzard doesn't do innuendos, and is very very funny.

    MoonRat, its not that the innuendos are taboo, its that they're tired and cliched.

    I know he's a transvestite, I thought he was gay/bi as well.

    stuff like that just makes me cringe, so overused.

    Julian Clary is repulsive. Norton is a litte better but I don't think sexual innuendos are really funny, whether they're gay or straight.

    perhaps you are of a generation and sexuality where talking about sex is considered normal, so the shock/relief effect doesn't work on you. At work, except for a couple of the lads who are under 22, it's pretty much smut city.

    Just my opinion, but self described "dykes" (Oh god Jim please have mercy, oh god!) usualy make for some top notch comedians. :thumb:

    Eddie isn't gay or camp. He looks quite macho in heels I think.

    O.T.T campness annoys me too. Reminds me of the Carry On films :nervous:

    I find persistent campness much more wearing

    Just how many different dirivaties of anal sex jokes can one person come up with. The first time he thanked his audience for a "warm hand on his enterance" it was funny. The same gag some 18 years later is just lame.

    Norton ceased to be funny a long time ago. There's only so many references to penises a person can make...

    Being on TV every weekday for a year didn't help either...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Haha well I still find them funny.

    GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE'S A
    LITTLE NUMBER I TOSSED OFF RECENTLY IN THE
    CARIBBEAN.
    Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis.
    Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong.
    It's swell to have a stiffy,
    It's divine to own a dick.
    From the tiniest little tadger,
    To the world's biggest prick.
    So three cheers for your willy or John Thomas.
    Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake.
    Your piece-of-pork,
    Your wife's best friend,
    Your Percy or your cock.
    You can wrap it up in ribbons,
    You can slip it in your sock.
    But don't take it out in public
    Or they will stick you in the dock,
    And you won't come back.
