His early work is good but everything he's done since 2005 has been:

>CATHOLIC CHURCH BAD
>GOVERNMENT BAD
>COSMOPOLITANISM GOOD

He doesn't even try and shoehorn jokes in around it. His stand-up special in Poland was Carlin-tier audience pandering.

>but everything he's done since 2005 has been:
"'What it is" was great I liked "'Yeah, Yeah"'

First two specials were 10/10

some comedians don't have even one

>>211732303
That's in my top 10 of all time.

>>211732090 (OP)
He looks like a baby that just woke up from a nap.

>>211732090 (OP)
I loved How Do You Want Me? and Black Books. Also thought he was good in The Actors with Michael Caine and Lena Headey. I used to own his Monster stand up DVD which I really enjoyed.

I don't think I liked his next DVD though and put me off taking any interest in him. Also he started playing that grumpy old man character when he was like 27 or 28 and now it depresses me to think he might have become that for real. I don't know. He deserves a good script because he's an underrated comedy actor more so than a stand up.

I never thought about his age, I just thought it was funny and kind of different than anyone else, despite being grumpy he always kept it very silly and that made it so good imo.

Haven't really watched him in anything besides Black Books which I really enjoyed.

>>211732366
He does act like one also.

>>211732090 (OP)

nah he's accurately rated. he's the one comedian who's made doing English-language standup in Europe work though, got to respect the hustle

>>211732090 (OP)
I was a fan for years but now that he stopped drinking and got divorced he's kinda meh

>>211732756
Yeah but nobody ever mentions him, I personally think he is one of the best UK stand ups ever. I don't even think they know who he is in America.

I'm pretty sure Louie CK "stole" a couple of his jokes.

>>211732783
>stopped drinking and got divorced he's kinda meh
Didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me.

>>211732090 (OP)
saw him live, he's good but I prefer black books to his standup. he should have done more television.

>>211733298
His character on Black Books was basically the character from hi stand up, but ITT people are saying he is a good actor, I guess I'll check things he's acted in.

>>211732250

I don't think he can be held accountable for anything he says since he's been blind drunk for most his life.

>>211732783

He got sober? Really? His whole appeal was playing the mad drunk Irishman.

>>211732090 (OP)
you accidentally posted dylan moran, the second most underrated, when you meant to post stewart lee

>>211734163
Naah, not even close.

>>211732090 (OP)
He realised there was big bucks in pushing a hatred of Christianity and Irish conservatism

>>211734163

Stew is overrated these days. His schtick has grown stale and he needs to find a new one.

>>211732090 (OP)
Saw him live once about 15 years ago. He was pretty good. I've also seen Bill Bailey twice.
Maybe you can tell I'm a fan of Black Books.

>>211734214
You're right.. Moran is no where near as good as lee. He hasn't done anything good since monster.

>>211732939
>>211732783
Can't he just keep pretending to be alcoholic like Dean Martin did?

>>211734302
he's still pretty funny but he needs to relink up with richard herring and bury the fucking hatchet. it would be hilarious if they did a series 3 of TMWRNJ and continued on as if it hasn't been 30 years

>DIS GUY MUST BE A ALIEN OR SUTIN?

>>211734353
you are wrong buddy

>>211734163

That's the guy who fantasizes about killing Jeremy Clarkson because he once made bigoted remarks. What a hilarious guy.

>>211736830
Yeah, he is a total poofter.

>>211734008
It caught up to him...nothing is free in this world

>>211734163
>the rappers, they jump on the bins like this
what did he mean by this

>>211740049
lel

>>211736830
he was satirizing them going "it's just a joke" and taking things to an extreme degree. clearly went over your head. also his beef is with the hamster who he protected in a library from bullies in the school they both went to, who later on called lee a fag when he started hanging out with the same bullies lol. he is a fag for writing for the guardian though (i know you're reading this on your four-figure wank machine stew)

>>211744374
Jeremy Clarkson is funnier than him
