[Closed] Miranda hart - is it me

Raises the occasional smile nothing more.

Who should have won IYHO?

Probably not "just you", but I like her. Find her funny and like the sit-com.
Isn't it bizarre how people have different taste in comedy.*

*no

Mildly amusing - nothing more than that and certainly not bring anything new to the comedy scene.

Rachel

I agree with OP... both me and the gf cannot understand what's so great about her. Surely to be in comedy you need to be funny?

She is not too bad but lets face it theres not a lot of competion about.

not really an award winner, would watch it if it was on but not set the video for it.

I find her strangely attractive.

am I missing something

Probably. The awards doesn't suggest that no one finds her funny.

I find her strangely attractive.

Well the awards she won she beat Jo brand and the inbetweeners which I can't really understand but for the new comedy show award there really was no competition all nominations were poor

Ian that's funnier than her show lol

I find her strangely attractive

I find all women with a sense of humour attractive by default. Although I struggle with Miranda Hart.

I'd imagine most people would lose a struggle with her.

Ian - just in case you have got yourself confused - THIS is Miranda Hart

Although I struggle with Miranda Hart.

That's because she's taller than you.

This thread is getting a bit misogynistic.

Her comedy is lame IMO, I'll probably love it when I'm 65 though.

Mastiles, I'm disappointed you've got such a shallow view of beauty.

Hysterically funny i think. Judge me all you want.

Not funny. Sounds sexist but I don't find many female comedians that good. The delivery is never as good.

It doesn't sound sexist. It does sound.. er, what's the word..? Stupid? Maybe just odd.

TBH I think she's fairly good in this, 3.15 mins in. But then I really like Not Going Out and Lee Mack.......good ol'fashion corny British humour 🙂

Not Going Out is terrible imo, I've never made it through an episode!

Not Going Out is terrible imo

The fact that not everyone finds the same things funny is a foregone conclusion.

Wouldn't the world be a boring place if everyone had a sense of humour ?

Is there an echo in here?

I don't know is there ?

Not Going Out is so dreadful it has gone full circle and is quite funny.

I was p*ssing myself at the donkey p0rn film shoot in last week's episode.

There is a real snobbery with comedy, there was an interesting article on R4 this morning some comedian was basically saying that all the working class comedians had been moved out of the mainstream for not being PC by 'middle class' alternative types who have then moved into the same racist and sexist jokes. Only its now labeled 'edgy' and 'ironic' when it was offensive for traditional working class comedians to say that kind of stuff.

Sounds like the article is about 20 years out of date.
How many comedians call themselves "alternative" these days?
That was back in the Comedy Store days of Alexei Sayle, Rik Mayall etc, who were not sexist.
The comedy scene is totally different now.

[edit]maybe 30 years out of date!

All I want to know is where was 'How not to live your life'.

Think she's good when presenting HIGNFY etc, but exceedingly indifferent when it comes to her show.

Women aren't funny. Simple as. Especially fat, ugly ones (see Jo Brand as well).

I've tried to like Miranda, I really have. But I just... I don't know, can't click with her. Too much reliance on embarassment comedy and I can't be doing with it, it just makes me cringe uncomfortably. You know, the old Terry and June "oh my goodness, my trousers have fallen off and there's the vicar!" schtick.

I suspect that, given the right vehicle, she could be very very good. Unfortunately she seems to continually turn up in drivel.

non offensive bland middle class comedy - it is allright but not hillarious and people will not be talking about it in 40 years ie Fawlty Towers, Blackadder , Dads army even - I heard the Radio 4 comment as well about how all comedy was middle class- My Family was the other example and there was nothing working class like Only fools and Horses or Steptoe or bread.

No Mick, 1000% agree with you... Try as I might, I can't see anything funny in her "humour" at all...

I don't get it..

Case in point for the prosecution, Hyperdrive. Did anyone catch that?

Miranda Hart, Kevin Eldon, Nick Frost... and set in space to boot, it should've been bottled lightning and it was diabolically bad.

Personally I think she is funny and deserved the awards.

Her use of physical comedy is very orignal for a female comedian

I quite enjoyed hyperdrive.

There is a real snobbery with comedy, there was an interesting article on R4 this morning...

See, you could be a comedy writer with lines like that! 😆

Her programme is a bit too look-at-me-aren't-I-clever, and makes me cringe. That said, I've only watched/suffered (delete as applicable) around ten minutes.

It's aimed at the same audience that BBC thought wanted to watch Emma Thompson's one-series-only "Thompson", which was a bizarre mix of 'comedy' and, appallingly, an 'interpretive dance' section somewhere in the middle of each programme. I remember it from my school days in the same way that I remember getting beaten up / dumped. Not with fond pleasure. It wasn't funny and, unsurprisingly, has never been repeated nor offered for sale on DVD.

I remember "Thompson". It was pretty dire.

[i]Her programme is a bit too look-at-me-aren't-I-clever[/i]

I see it as more look-at-me-aren't-I-large-and-clumsy. And I laugh.

I have nothing to share save my own prejudice . I thought Hyper-drive was fab and think Miranda is good telly .Miranda does set out to be a modern show that all the family can enjoy together so wont be that edgy or alternative.

There are some very funny female comedians Linda Smith being a tragically late example.
