+ 1 Blakes – he’s doing the middle of the road ‘have you ever noticed… funny because its true’ style comedy Peter Kay does (did). His talent is in the delivery because the material isn’t particularly rich or clever. Last night Miles Jupp made the observation that many Irish comics don’t need to write good material because they have an advantage with delivery because of their accents. The same could be said for Kay and McIntyre, and if you ever watch a repeat the lack of depth to the material is obvious.
Personally i prefer political and surrealist comedy. Unfortunately most comedy on the TV is mundane tripe – e.g. those panel shows with pre-reheased jokes.
