There are people don't "get" Dr Who?
If Lee Mack yanks your chain you do you mate. Your analysis of Stewart Lee is so far off piste though that you may as well refer to yourself as Schumacher from here on out.

No, he isn't difficult to grasp, it's the response when people say he isn't that great is to insinuate that you're not getting it.
You're just proving my point. All I did was say I didn't rate him and you're defending him like he's I said your mum was a crap parent.There are people don't "get" Dr Who?

Parasocial love for entertainers is funny.
Don't get it is the stock response when people don't share your love or rating for something
My mum is a crap parent, what's that got to do with the price of fish? Just kidding love you mum.
I'm not interested in defending him, his stand up is annoying as shit at times, I admit! I just think you're doing him a disservice when he's one of few comics who fully commit to their profession.
Unless... You're one of the left wing champagne socialist glitterati set he keeps blabbering on about?
Didn't imply anything about your mum. I love your mum too
He does fully commit and is a successful comic but I don't rate him that highly, tis all.
You’re talking to someone who struggles with Doctor Who.

Who's your comedy mount Rushmore then? Let's have it.
I turned off the fireplace after a few seconds. Far too crackly.
Maybe season 2 will be better.
Things got heated, far too quickly for me.
You said you didn’t rate him and provided a reason that was totally ignorant of Stewart Lee’s act. You’ve basically watched the first series of Comedy Vehicle and decided you don’t like him. That is fine, but don’t pretend it’s because you know what you’re talking aboutNo, he isn't difficult to grasp, it's the response when people say he isn't that great is to insinuate that you're not getting it.

There’s rumours they might be bringing back fireplace classic edition in the next season. Imo this would be positive addition to the fireplace universe.
Likewise. It began to grate.
What a question!I put the white text just in case she read the post

I used to like Def Comedy Jam back in the day when I was younger so a lot of people from that era and stable.
I grew up in the 80s/90s so people like Tommy Cooper, Lee Evans, Jack Dee, Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, Jethro etc. These were the VHS in my grandparents house so that's what I had access too. Also general UK comedy, Bottom, Young Ones, Blackadder etc.
As I got older and the internet became a thing, I sought out more US based comedy like Carlin, Hicks, Pryor, Chappelle, Chris Rock, Rodney Dangerfield etc.
Rushmore is so hard, is it four or five?
Swing and a miss, I've watched three separate routines of his. Again sorry I said bad things about your daddy.
Stick with it, it’s a bit of a slow burn
It's 4. Hard to argue with any of them! Dee is a modern legend who has navigated what some might call cancellable material and lost none of his affect.
No need to apologise to me, you’re the one who’s coming across as ignorant
It was just boring, turned it off after 10 minutes (not that it matters since that means I am another viewer, according to the algorithm).
I don't mind some dodgy/off-colour/dark comedy but when the preamble to it is just; "Oh I shouldn't be saying this, they're going to be mad now, should I be woke now?" just feck off. Just say it.

I just don’t have the hearth.
How? With one massive pear?
Ignorant watching three comedy shows of his and not thinking he's that funny.
Right.
Just watched it, not as good as his others but still good. Love Ricky.
Yeah, feels like there’s something missing. A lot of which has been mentioned here already.
I made it through the whole show so 1) it was pretty good or 2) I was waiting for the best part.
I’m leaning towards 2.

Normally really like Gervais and his humour but this was cringey and boring to a point. A lot of his old topics worked into it, just a different backstory just to be controversial and edgy. I just found it to be average, did laugh at some parts of it to be fair, had high hopes for this, was severely let down.
It was terrible. Don't think I found anything laugh out loud funny.
Imagine attaching your personality to either liking or disliking Ricky Gervais.
I thought it was very funny. Above average. 4/5.
Say what you want about Gervais. But Acaster is a good comic and isn’t lazy in his observations or material he creates.
Also Lee is very good.
Also Lee is very good.
Watched 5 minutes of him congratulating himself for not getting canceled and turned it off. I used to like his comedy specials, but it's just gotten so repetitive now.
I didn't watch to the end but was it all a ruse?
Him railing on about being woke and so on, kinda felt like he was playing right wing bingo with easy laugh jokes and maybe at the end it's just him saying he was playing the character? Threw in a few lines that you'd expect designed to 'shock' but in general I just...didn't get it. He's not suddenly changed into a stereotypical middle aged man without me noticing has he?
Wasn't very funny at all tbh.

He’s been quite clearly heading that way (and been that way) for years.
He’s 8 years away from hosting his own show on GB News.
I feel like on social media and on talk shows he’s usually on the other side though? Or maybe I’ve just not been paying attention.
Didn’t think he was just living his After Life character now
I refuse to believe this wasn't written by James Acaster.
Jadon Sancho supplementing his income there.I refuse to believe this wasn't written by James Acaster.
I got bored after about ten minutes and shut it off.
Acaster is a genius.
I must say, I enjoy both Lee Mack and Stewart Lee, though I have never watched a second of Dr. Who.There are people don't "get" Dr Who?

Correct. Afterlife was rubbish.
I did like him in the office and he was brilliant at his hosting gigs at the Golden Globe. I don't find him to be great at stand-up comedy.
Also, the trio of him, Merchant and Carl Pilkington was brilliant.

Tried to watch it for sometime. Got bored and switched it off at the point he started off a train of multiple words of abuse. Seemed like random mumblings.
