No, you are wrong. There are only two comedians on Mock the Week who are so funny that they occasionally tell a joke that brings the show to a halt because everyone has to stop laughing first. Frankie Boyle is one, Stewart Francis is the other. Sometimes they can see things that are genuinely funny, rather than things that you recognize as something a comedian would say and therefore laugh at.

I thought the media was mostly ironically supported them, in a "haha they don't realise we're taking the piss out of them!" sort of way.

Yeah, and it's really really funny (skip to 1:04)

Maybe an easier way to list recommendations would be to say "if you like comedy X, then you will probably like comedies Y and Z."

This is just as terrible because it leads to chains that will eventually link Stewart Lee to Michael McIntyre

Wikipedia posted:

In an interview with the Radio Times regarding the current state of the BBC, Stephen Fry revealed one of the regular panelists insists on seeing the questions before they appear in the show. He said in the interview:

"There's only one regular guest who always insists on seeing the questions beforehand and prepares for them. I won't tell you his or her name," he said. "It really annoys me. In fact, one day, I'll make sure that person is given a list from another programme because they don't need them."[26][27]

Following this comment people asked Fry to come out and say who it was, with several people posting their suggestions as to who it was. Fry later posted on his Twitter account that it was neither Davies nor Rob Brydon.[28]

I really wonder who it is now. The wiki also has a list of regular guests, but none of them seem more likely than the others. I can't believe it's David Mitchell or Dara O Briain though, that'd just be weird

I'm thinking it's Jo Brand now. There's this episode in one of the early series where completely out of the blue she goes "I don't understand the works of Jacques Derrida!" which in itself is not that strange because literally no-one does. What makes me think she's insecure about her intelligence though is both that she brings this up completely out of context in a sort of double bluff ("I don't get it, but I'm still smart!") and the fact that she's reading Derrida in the first place, which you don't do unless you have a boner for literary criticism, Franco-Russian neo-Hegelianism (if there are more than three people in the entire world who study Derrida because they're interested in Kojeve it'd be pushing it) OR you want to appear intelligent because he has a reputation for utter incomprehensibility. She's also on the show a lot and seems to actually care when she does terribly (though that may be me being an unreliable retrospecting witness).

So yes, Jo Brand.
