Keith Lemon - semi serious question

[IanM]

Channel hopping I've seen this bloke a few times, and once even managed to watch for nearly 45 seconds before turning over...

...but can I ask the more "pop-culture" savvy amongst on here....

Is he a real bloke or a spoof like "Ali G" or "Mrs Brown?"

Keith Lemon is a fictional / spoof character created by Leigh Francis :thup:

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Either way he is horrendously awful. IMO of course.

 

[Pin-seeker]

I use to find him quite amusing.
It’s just very repetitive now.

Thank goodness for that!

Blooming awful though... but guess not in the target demographic!

He also was the man behind Bo Selecta and the character Avid Merrion

Funny in their day....sometimes

I find him (Leigh Francis and all his personas) hilarious.

The Keith and Paddy Picture Show (2 series now) is brilliant.

Bo Selecta was legendary, proper belly laugh funny. Keith Lemon is about as funny as James Cordon, so not very 😂

Yeah they great,

Can't stand the bloke personally but each to their own. Noel Fielding is another one I just don't 'get', about as funny as a bout of Ebola

 

[Qwerty]

It was funny for about 6months, it’s been wearing thin for some time.
Bo Selecta and Avid Merrion were hilarious though.

Noel Fielding
Russel Brand

Don't get any of the above.

I would bung Peter Kay in that list as well.

Keith Lemon revived through the keyhole and it's hilarious IMO of course

Keith Lemon is another so-called comedian who confuses genuine humour with vulgarity and smut as he doesn't have the talent to be funny without resorting to a low level. The idiot who dresses up as Mrs Brown is another example.

I used to like that Scandinavian comedian, Jesper Swede or something like that.

Stick to the science young man, comedy is not your thing !!! I've dropped you a DM in connection with other stuff by the way !!

 

[Orikoru]

I quite liked Bo Selecta, Keith Lemon is fairly amusing, not so much that I go out of my way to watch his programs, but enough that I don't turn it off when he's on.

Recent travelogues from Frankie Boyle and Romesh Ranganethan in Russia and Haiti. The possibilities seemed promising but neither of them seemed to have the wit or self awareness to bring it off. When in doubt chuck in a few swear words might work when they're performing their "comedy" but, for me, they seemed out of their depth.
