Strange thing, humour. Mrs N thought yesterday’s entry here was corny (probably because she’s heard them before), and I thought they were just plain silly. But then I like silly.
When I was young I couldn’t abide Arthur Askey (an unfunny little twit was my considered opinion), but I loved Spike Milligan. My parents thought Milligan was simply deranged.
Some people or shows are almost universal – but not quite: Billy Connolly, unless you don’t understand his swearing; Round The Horne, unless you are foreign; Peter Kaye, unless you were once mugged in Bolton; Eddie Izzard, unless you have no imagination.
So here’s the punchline to the BBC radio ‘prank’ pair … the first person who ever laughed at Russell Brand in public should now step forward and volunteer to be shot in public. I don’t think I have ever heard the overblown twat say one funny thing.
As for Jonathan Ross ... he can be very funny. The trouble is, he never knows when he isn’t. And as for the people who authorised the broadcast of this totally unfunny pile of shite – off with their headphones!
