Is Peter Kay really that funny? Don't make me laugh

I realise I am probably in a minority here, but I'm going to say something rather shocking.

I don't find Peter Kay very funny.

While you're still spluttering, let me make it clear that he's not terrible. I have laughed at some of his work.

I just don't think he's the comedy god that he has been made out to be.

I particularly don't like his appearance on chat shows. I don't know why he does them, as he clearly finds answering questions about himself uncomfortable.

But when forced to flog his latest DVD, he will go on telly - and becomes a nightmare guest.

On Jonathan Ross's show, he thought it would be hilarious to hang off the set.

And last night on Alan Carr, he was equally annoying, putting off any chance of an actual interview by walking round the set, picking things up and breaking them.

He fell off a chair, which everyone - apart from me - thought was hilarious.

Anything Alan asked him, Peter deflected with a question of his own.

So Alan cleverly decided to go with the flow and gave up all hope of talking to him sensibly, deciding instead to reverse the roles and get Peter to be the chat show host.

Peter was right about one thing, though - Alan is a naturally very witty man, which I don't believe Peter is.

He had just the right tone to bring out the best in Lady GaGa.

I agree with you. I also do not find Peter Kay to be funny. Some of my friends think that he is and are horrified that someone should suggest otherwise. When I asked why they thought he was funny they said "well he sells lots of DVD's" mmm...
I think it's a case of "lots of people say he's funny, so he must be". The emporers new clothes ?
