Comedy awards

[bigbadwolf]

Right everyone, we've had the 'who talks sense' thread but what I want to know is who makes you laugh. My nominations are as follows.

*Bob*

Ted Max

HonaloochieB

Dulwichmum

TLS

Over to you.

[GSJ57]

I vote Ted Max for a literary award!

[matthew123]

I vote bigbadwolf - who was too humble to nominate himself

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Good choice BBW!

Probably my "5" as well...

*Bob*....Esoterically funny.

Ted Max...Banker Choice as he has "cross-appeal" humour thats consistently witty...

HonaloochieB...A very vivid, fertile imagination and a strong contender...

Dulwichmum...Experienced campaigner, deserving of the nomination..

TLS....A fair last inclusion as this lad has improved considerably after a frankly uninspiring, ominous introduction...

So, in essence, the same quintet for me with Max just edging out Hon-"The Looch" by a Short-Head.

> Over to you.

[HonaloochieB]

I'd definitely vote for myself.

You'd have to walk a long way to find a vainer solipsist than me.

I reckon possibly as far as Clapham.

[HonaloochieB]

Or possibly Putney.

Or failing that Fulham.

Do they have Omni-Buses in Putney or Fulham Looch?

btw; You can only vote for yourself once (new rules) and you must make 5 choices, cough, cough..

[HonaloochieB]

Fair enough then.

Ted Max, the funniest, he's an eloquent parodist, barbed and incisive when the situation warrants and a punster when needs be.

Brendan, has the ability to produce intelligent off the wall humour in a single line.

Moos, an elegant, seemingly effortless style, she can be warm, satirical and scathingly funny. Sometimes in the same post.

TLS, no punophobic he, self-deprecating and witty. The fact that he's a straight man that fancies me has in no way influenced this nomination.

Mockney Piers, manages to combine John Humphreysness with Stephen Fryness to great effect.

According to the rules we can only nominate five, so that's what I've confined myself to.

Bur honourable mentions to SeanM, Giggi, JL, Keef, BBW and all of the others.

Holy Christ, could I be more patronising?

[daizie]

get a room

[HonaloochieB]

Oh, I forgot Daizie, she never fails to introduce her own special brand of hilarity into the proceedings.

[????]

...is Jonathon Ross compering this mutual love in?

[Mikecg]

Snorky In my book the king of sarcasm.

*Bob* Is a funny ferka.

HB Always gets me searching for my Dictionary he speaks a different language to the one I know I dont know how he does it?.

Ted Max Can turn a mundane coffee break in to an epic chapter.

BBW Hes a leary fecker but funny as feck.

[mockney piers]

Cripes HB, two of my heroes combined in one, far too much but thanks anyway *blushes*

We have done this before and there are so many people I admire on this forum, I won't repeat the (doubtless vastly elongated) list now, but given recent events I will point out 3 quality comedians.

Snorky, Quids and Louisa, who show that spikiness and distemper can be done with wit, charm, class* and sophistication. Trolls, study and learn.

*upper in the case of snorky and soooo middle for the other two ;-)

Oh, and Quids, DM, RosieH, PGC, PR and LP, who make me titter immoderately.

God and his angels and saints, could I be more condescending?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Titter ye not, dear heart.

[PeckhamRose]

HonaloochieB:

"PR"??

Wow.

No, really. Wow.

But yes, you could.

It's like you're talking to Alan Davis there MP, it really is.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Deserves an update.

On current form I've recently enjoyed Honaloochie's occassiona; contributions and I'm warming to the puns and self-deprecation of TLS.

"Bob" continues to impress while Snorky has had his moments recently.

Ted Max will always be good value but has been a tad subdued lately and BBW seems to be restricted to his Den lately.

Quidsy is good for a laugh and Dulwichmum is one of the wittiest Women since Dorothy Parker.

Time for another piece de resistance from Moos and a Magnum Opus from Brendan is only just around the corner, I'm fairly certain.

Keep up the good work Guys....:-$

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Monthly Update.

There's been a few subtle changes this Month and I would, currently, nominate the "New Improved etc" Snorky to be the current recipient of The Forum Yellow Jersey.

Just a bicycle's clip length behind comes Honaloochie though, always good value. The Man is a veritable hoot.....

3rd ? Brendan, probably. A solid All-Rounder.

4th Ted Max, more on his well-deserved reputation rather than his more infrequent current contributions, one must say.

A positive plethora of others who are just "bubbling under"..namely the likes of BBW/Quidsy/Moos/"bob" etc....

Disappointments? Dulwichmum seems to have been distracted lately, it seems and TLS is contributing less and less and appears to be making less effort to even try to amuse The EDF Massif...

Apologies to all those deserving Forumites who haven't received a weel-deserved mention.

[bigbadwolf]

Hmmmmmm......well thanks for refreshing this Tony, very good and proper.

Lets have a look at things shall we.

I'd like to put *Bob* at the top of the list but he's been suspiciously absent of late hasn't he. Ted Max is getting ever more distant yet his random yet delightful interjections always deliver promise. Snorky has been good I'll admit. HonaloochieB is a very versatile and witty forumite in his own right but therein lies the problem, sometimes some of us youngsters struggle to figure out what on earth he's on about but the silver lining in that cloud is that when we do figure out what he's talking about it becomes all the more funny beecause we can award ourselves a great big pat on the back for working it out. He is also a regular forumite.

So for me the list goes

1. HonaloochieB

2. Snorky

3. Brendan. Now it's true that Brendan has been absent of late but I'm awarding him the bronze medal because of his post in

housemates from hell today. The majority was pretty mild but as soon as I hit 'Humphrey the houseplant' I nearly fell

off my chair laughing.

Another I'd like to mention is Mikecg. Now I know I often pick on his spelling but of late he's been biteing back with tenacity and he's also started to really 'put the work in' regarding the humour content of his posts. I'm not saying he should be in the top three but you know.......credit where credits due an all that.

Now on to the more painful subject of Dulwichmum.

I fear the blame of Dulwichmums prolonged absence lies solely at my door. You see, Dulwichmum truly yet quite wrongly doesn't like smut. During my ban a great deal of smutty inuendo has been building up in my admittedly filthy mind and as soon as my ban was lifted I started heamoraging vile and senseless posts that fell on the deaf ears of our most priviliged forumite who made her disdain quite public after which I sat in the darkest corner of my den, drew my knees up against my chin and cried for 40 day and 40 nights, sort off. Now I for one will quite openly say I wont censor myself for censorship sake but I fear if I carry on at my normal pace we'll loose one of our greatest assets and I for one would be very upset.

So I must take an oath to try and steer things back in the right direction.

"I bigbadwolf, boss of the wild wood and leader of the pack do hereby formally promise that I shall never use a swear word again on the east dulwich forum".

I will however still be rude and ocassionally smutty of course but if that's what it takes to keep her on board then I'm happy to make the sacrifice.

[Mick Mac]

I'll nominate "woofmarkthedog" and "????" who I don't think have been mentioned.

Oh and Annasfield - she made me laugh the most by referring to me as "not at all patronising" ... and it was only my second ever post (although she does not generally try to be funny - I think?).

I agree most of the other nominations - I find Dulwich Mum very entartaining rather than laugh out loud. BBW makes me laugh/gasp in equal amounts. HB of course is often very funny and the great thing about the forum is that almost everyone else is funny on occaision. Yes even MikeCG.
