Agree with the post about Frankie Boyle and him not being as funny live. When I saw him the first half was ace, but the second was full of MTW jokes which I'd heard before.
Having said that, I'd still say Frankie Boyle!!!!!

In fact, the only context they both fit in is Have I Got News for You, and they were both very different. Johnson - funny due to his dazed and confused performance as host, and McIntyre on his game, delivering a sharp impression of Jeremy Clarkson.
Very true. You're only a comedian if you are consciously making jokes to amuse people, like MM does. If you're not consciously aiming to make people laugh, and they still do, you're not a comedian. You're not telling jokes--you are the joke. Boris Johnson is the joke, in much the same way as George Bush was the joke (thank god that I can put that last clause in past tense!).
