Here's a potential bomb I might be dropping here. Rosie Jones. /runs I do find her inclusion in things well meaning but ultimately patronising/insincere given she's not very funny or interesting. Agreed. Especially when she’s on panel shows where the whole point is quick wit, and everyone has to wait three minutes for her to speak. I feel bad though, and it’s great she’s been given opportunities, but Jones on Mock The Week feels like sticking Stephen Hawking in the Chelsea team to be more inclusive. The end product suffers as a direct result. |

The end product suffers as a direct result. Yeah this is basically how I feel too. When so much of comedy is in the timing I’m afraid I just don’t find her struggling to push out a punchline that effective. Nothing wrong with disabled comics - I just don’t think the disability itself counts as an act. |

Ed Sheeran. Technically he’s not doing anything wrong. His music is bland but inoffensive, he seems like a nice guy… but holy shit he is everywhere! He’s even doing Classic FM with Moira Stewart this weekend, and after that he’s doing a gig on Pokemon Go. I literally can’t escape.
He’s like Aunt Selma’s per iguana JubJub - he’s everywhere you wanna be!

No escaping Ed Sheeran, ever!
I hate Adele, always have, but she's become even more tiresome of late.

Doesn’t everyone hate Ed Sheeran though? Some ginger posh kid pretending he’s some gritty urban artist. He’s a Grade 1 cunt. Stupid people do like him and his music though so it’s allowable
Adele though, that’s a good one. She seems universally liked but I can understand how she would get on your tits

Tbh the same people that like him are the same people who used to bang on about Mumford and sons. God they were dire.

Tom Ravenscroft. Poundland version of his dad. Oh, and Noel Fielding. He's so RANDOM with his humour and clothes. Mighty Boosh was only okay because Julian Barratt grounded it. and Ross Noble. Any time he was on the Infinite Monkey Cage I just skip the episode as his "humour" just derails the conversation and fucks up any interesting conversations. Fully agree about Ross Noble. I've never laughed at anything he's said and his inclusion in things is incredibly likely to make the thing way, way worse. Annoying "I'm so zany" wanker. |

Hmmm, yeah. I appreciate how he can be found funny but I don't think I've ever laughed at anything he's said. At least he's got a personality unlike Josh fucking Widdecombe.

I’ve seen Ross Noble live a couple of times and found him hilarious. But more than any other comedian I’ve seen it really doesn’t translate well to TV.

I was obsessed with Spaced growing up, to the point where I caught a Spaced marathon on TV a few months back and was saying all the lines without realising.
But now he's like that guy you knew at school who was down to earth and funny, but is now crazy successful and only hangs out at Nusr-et and talks with a different accent.

John Bishop, managing to get in on the Northern character bandwagon.
Peter Crouch, advertising bookmakers while taking a slice of the BBC's licence fee pot.
Philip Schofield, don't get me started.

Stacey Dooley
Anna Richardson
Any celeb "journalist" whose job is to get all hot and bothered and a bit mortified by things. Be like Reggie and go talk to some fucking Nazis as a black dude.
To a lesser extent that Katherine Ryan. I'm told she's nice but she's not funny and seems so insincere.
Can 100% confirm both Jeremy Vine and Schofield are cunts. Greg Davies, I'm told, is lovely.

Simon Pegg. I don't like his films either I want to say Simon Pegg too, but really it's Spaced and the Cornetto Trilogy that annoy me, and they're not a person. They're funny, but really not that funny. |

I have recollections of him being a talking head on things going on about the Star Wars prequels retroactively ruining the original trilogy and moaning about fast zombies and how they're not proper zombies. That kind of nerdy pedantry/gatekeeping just annoys me in general. Look at what a geek I am! Plus he was in some Star Trek films that didn't exactly respect the source material. And zombies aren't real
I've heard he said bad things about Babylon 5 as well

Martin Brundle. Those tight trousers are not for you, Martin, and I fucking detest the pit lane desperation walk. Leave people alone they’re busy.
Once the race gets going and he’s on the mic he’s alright again.
