When he was on form he was good, but too often at his Pub he was a drunken, rambling, bad tempered git.

That’s me and @ThelmatheBelmer aft... oh, never mind.
A big boy did it and ran away.

Right,
Seeing as how this thread is not titled current comedians that are unfunny may I offer up in decending order.
How the fcuk this shite series was ever considered funny is beyond me. However, I would definitely do the brunette one (can't remember her name and don't want to).
Secondly, these 2 dull twats. I hated it the first time around.
Just to assuage my middle aged grumpiness this morning, please note the festive images I have supplied.
So Happy Christmas everyone whilst fcuk off Birds of a Feather and the other pile of crap too.

I wasn’t a fan of that when it came out to be honest.

I never saw him at his own place, always on tours. He'd always come in the bar beforehand & mingle. He's retiring at the end of the year which is a bit of a shame but he's also got an equestrian business & I gather he's a useful clay pigeon shot.

Towards the end of my trips to his gaff at Lifton Down ( in Devon I might add), I was only going to see a local band "Mad Dog McCrea" who are excellent and guaranteed to get the feet tapping, couldn't wait for Jethro to get off so they could do their thing.
Yes he is very horsey, I suspect that he is at least part pikey.
To be fair though his story about the bathroom floor tiles can still curl me up, my brother does an excellent impression of the Cornish git by the way.

'kin ell....heresy, ok not the first one, but I liked Steptoe....at least until he went into politics.

Steptoe and Son - every series, every 30 minute episode, a work of genius.
You couldn't help but laugh, but the Dad/Son/mutually dependent/trapped relationship was so close to real life that - at the same time as making you laugh - it (never mind scenes like Steptoes senior eating pickled onions in the bath, in the living room, FFS!) made you feel uncomfortable, but in a kinda 'this is weird, this is a train crash disaster, I don't want to see - but I can't look away' manner.
I can see why it's appeal wasn't as universal as (say) Eric and Ernie - but it was never gonna be that kind of show.
Is it as strong now as it was then?
Hard to say: if you don't remember rag'n'bone men doing their rounds in your street the same day every week, it's likely the scenario is as alien and incomprehensioble as the stage setting for Waiting for Godot.
But if you're of an age . . . .

Didn't the septics make a watered down version of Steptoe and Son? I can't remember the name, but I saw an episode many years ago and thought it was rubbish.

No. That was the Labour Party Conference with Magic Grandpappy.

That was Sanford and Son. As far away from funny as was possible.
One of the reasons that the whole dynamics of the Father/Son relationship and more specifically the arguments worked was the fact that in real life the actors actually hated each other

Going back a number of years it would be hard to find someone as unfunny as that cnut Freddie fuckin parrot face fuckin Davis, he was about as funny as following through while acting as a pall bearer, though that other so called comedian Charlie Williams runs him close

I think there’s a whole crop of comedians now who know they are unfunny but- have a following by a crowd who deem themselves fashionable / progressive, and consider it fashionable to be seen appreciating a certain genre of humour. Most who attend the Edinburgh fringe possibly fall into that category.
I think The Fast show possibly summed this phenomenon up with a musical equivalent ...’Jazz club’.

You could also drop the word "comedian".
As a writer (provided he has someone working with him/ a handler) he's excellent though.

I don't think much of his clothing range "Ben Elton" either
