Most of the overtly camp gays I've known have been really nice people (so long as you don't cross them up). I can't stand Graham Norton but I suspect he's quite a sweetie beyond his professional guise.

I like Graham Norton and the guy who used to be Lilly Savage ( can't think of his name at the moment though)

Russel Brand is another one who I can't stand.

I quite like Alan Carr, but I dont like the blatant social engineering where, we have to have gay comedians getting the top jobs to make us more accepting of gay people.

Gok is a step too far. I'm sure he makes gay blokes cringe, its just women who like him. The other day, he did a makeover on some poor straight bloke, and dressed him up with a man bag and a daft scarf wrapped round is neck loads of time. Telling the guy he looked much better now (sporting the camp look).

I thought that was Clive james or Clive Norton, the solicitor guy. He is mildly ok.

Wouldn't this be the same with most of the people you refer to as 'scum'? Laughing i.e Jonathan Ross & i'm sure other TV personality's.

I remembered that from the 'Cvnt Or Cool' thread. Razz

I used to hate him because of 2 things (both of which I didnt understand and I therefore hated ... an automatic xenophobic response):
1) his effeminate dress sense and manner.
2) his hair.

But he is a clever f*ker that Brand ... very very funny.
I like him a lot now.

I challenge anyone not to find this funny:

I like Simon Amstell on Buzzcocks. Used to think he was a bit of a twat on the kids shows, but even then he used to take the piss with the guests.

Looking forward to Ricky Gervais's new stand up too.

Ricky Gervais, he's another one I can't stand. Watched one of his stand ups which was ok in places, but the rest of the stuff he does.................. crap.

I find it hard to think of anyone more I'd like to put a cricket bat to than Alan Carr, I caught 10 seconds of his show where he was going ape shit with Kylie coming on. It was fucking ridiculous and within moments I hated myself and this fucking miserable existence and prayed for god to just fucking take me now. Then I managed to switch channel and I felt fine.

When I were still doing event stuff, I ran show with him (can't have been more than a month before he started popping up on TV).

Camp as christmas off-stage as well, but really, really nice into the bargain. Can't say that I enjoy his TV stuff, but his stand up is well worth a watch.

Alan Carr is ok in my books.
I like Graham Norton, and have met him - he is totally different to what you see on Tv.
But I cant stand brand Thumbs Down

The 'Meercat' line was good.

And I know it's part of the act, but dear god could he mince the English language anymore? Really? Sun 'Let-AAAR' I mean christ.

This is the thing about stereotypes though, in order for them to exist, you need to have stupid people who are unable to see past them.

Same with labels, its just a method deployed by the lazy and ignorant because they can't be arsed or don't have the mental capacity to deal with things they don't understand or that don't fit into their narrow views.

For reference see colin1's post above.

Ignore Broon, as he's just a dour Scot.

It is not that I can't stand Alan Carr, it is just that he's not funny. And gay.

The chat show walks a really thin line between being quite funny and simperingly cringe-worthy. For example; Kylie = Simpering. Justin Beiber = Really funny.

His stand up show is funny.

Gok Wan is a strange one, I can't stand his shows (or any of that ilk) but he's ok in interviews, he seems like a good laugh. I can't be arsed with all that metrosexual me-me-me bullshit though. As I understand it, the people he has on his 'fashion' shows are turds, doesn't matter how much you polish them up and apply the glitter; they are still turds.
