Too many shit placements there to ever take the list seriously. | ||

Seeing Peter Kay and Gervais in the top 10 at all makes me feel dirty...and not in a good way, banality wins yet again. Do what the voices tell you, and then do it again twice as hard and twice as fast and take an axe....scare them into silence! | ||

Fail list is fail. As for Bill Hicks being better than Ricky Gervais, that's debatable. I'm not a big Ricky Gervais fan but I think Bill Hicks is massively overrated. Don't like his delivery and his material is pretty weak. He scores a lot of points for being cool, but actually funny? Meh. Stewart Lee is my favourite of the current crop. Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: Why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. | ||

I'd have loved to see where Bill Hicks would have ended up if he hadn't died so young. Would he have eventually sold out? I'm kinda glad he never really got the chance as they almost always do. Ricky Gervais as a stand-up has only made me laugh once and that was his comedy act in GTAIV. Stewart Lee - thought his last TV series was OK, a little patchy. Anything else you can recommend ?

Rodney Dangerfield is great, the fact he didn't make the list is proof that you can't trust the general public about anything. I have odd tastes in stand up comedy though, I tend to like my humour very structured, so I like the guys that tell loads of jokes rather than the clownish ones. I also don't like to watch stand up live, because I'm always scared the guy is going to die. Not literally, that'd have some dignity, but there's nothing worse than the pain of watching a comedian fail on stage. Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: Why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. | ||

Bill Hicks has certainly become more famous since his death. Doubt he would have sold out, as he was so forthright in his opposition to it, but sadly we will never know what might have been. Wish he was around to tear into the 'extreme porn' laws "Social order at the expense of liberty is hardly a bargain." Edited 11 Apr 10, 8:40 PM by LousyReputation | ||

I gave up watching at number 30 because it was just getting ridiculous. Agree wholeheartedly about Bill and couldn't believe that Mark Thomas was so low down too. | ||

No one is better than Bill Hicks. Except for maybe Denis Leary. (Obviously a joke, before I get death threats from other Hicks fans) | ||

this has a lot of pathos, sometimes he could hit the spot The first rule of Brat Club, we don't talk about Brat Club... | ||

Yeah but where's the punchline? This is the thing with Hicks, bags of charisma and a brutally sharp sense of right and wrong, but not all that funny, not one of the very greatest anyway. Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: Why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. |
