Was Bobby Thompson funny?

[Spectre]

I've seen him on telly a few times before, but never really listened.

This must be the most unfunny person ever. I know he's a Mackem, from the pits of Durham, but he's painful.

his "jokes" aren't funny... Even if I were born thirty years earlier I couldn't laugh.

Then they did really come and take his stuff, little tax dodger .

About as funny as a boil on the bum.

I'm glad someone agrees.

I've had a couple of friends put his shows on when we've came back from clubs and pubs, whatnot. I just can't find anything he says funny, which makes me think it's one of those peer pressure things where you feel obliged to find it funny.

Actually, the bit about "take a seat", "we've came to take the lot" is a bit amusing, but that's it. That bit was true as well, he was in massive debt.

Bobby was always load of $hite, I remember when I was a young’un blokes saying how funny he was, never really took much notice as I found him annoying. A proper working men’s club act.
IIRC his accent and crack was a bit more Geordie than Mackem.
I would compare him to “Mrs Browns Boys” (TV for thickies - sorry) of today.
Where are all the good comedian’s now?
