i dont think anyone wud disagree that YGM is the unfunniest bloke to hit TF...

but i dont agree (idhula enna aachiryam) on VKR, SSC or Thangavelu being unfunny........i just love all of these guys.......infact i love surlirajan and can tolerate santhanam too http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...icon_smile.gif

plum http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...notthatway.gif

im not talking abt the "titles" people give to themselves...

vivek though caled as "chinna kalaivanar" - he resembles mr radha and thangavelu

Thangavelu ive always found funny and then vkr - come on he is http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo.../notworthy.gif summa aadama asayama comedy pannuvary..

his "aaahhh" with fingers on mouth is enough

Kamaan.. livingston ellaam comedian kedayaadhu... he can come as a support character, villan or even hero!!!

Even in his comedies, I remember one film he did with Vadivelu.. that was quite hilarious!! Especially the thanni adikra scene with chithappu... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/rotfl.gif

Ganja karuppu and Karuna's all belong to the category of those who try too hard with little or no result. But even they have had some funny performances. Andha vagaila none can beat the spotless record of YGM and SSC... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/thumbsup.gif

Unfunny Comedians
 

Ok, shall we have a thread for who is the most unfunny comedian in TF history?
(yeah, that tells you why I am the expert in commenting on 'negative' emotions :- ) )

My choice would be the great Oy Gee Mahendra.

absolutely..

kaattu mokka

YGM wins hands down - to borrow your expression.
The number of laughs he has generated in his painfully long career can be counted on the fingers of one hand...and mine is a clenched fist.

SS Chandran would be next.

Thangavelu would have to settle for the third spot......

OTOH I can remember some 2-3 occasions when NSK managed to be funny.

For example, in Chakravarthi Thirumagan contest song with MGR, the latter asks a question in song. NSK buys time for an answer by bursting into an impromptu aalaapanai http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/ymlol.gif

prabhu ram, yes, there is something about katcheris, paatus and NSK comedy - the vignaganthai song does raise a few smiles, not laughs, though.
And that one in Deiva Piravi where as the kadhakalatchebam bhagavathar, he finishes a few continuous lines with "...fan" - eppadi iruppfan, enna koduppfan etc - to indicate that the table fan has gone off is a favourite of my father's - and as a child, I did find that funny.

PR, nalla idea. The nominees so far
1) YG Mahendra
2) Er.. when the others knew YGM was contesting, they withdrew their nominations http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...icon_smile.gif

Suruli was quite funny many times. Yeah, I can see the merit in VKR, too. But YGM's Gold medal and SSC's silver medal are reserved. Chance-e illai.

You louu thangavElA !
VKR, SSC ... meat/poison etc.
ThangavElu ....!!!

danaal-Am ennannA timing-aam. hayyo hayyo ! He is known to dwell and drawl beyond the punchline and ruin the joke which was weak to begin with.

Waitese.... SP vandhu YGM is quite funny appidinnu oru pOdu pOduvaanga. Sock aagama avunga solradhai kEkkaNum.

Ennapa.. ellarum Charlie'ya vittuteenga... he deserves a place in top 3. It's a tight contest between SSC & Charlie for no.2. YGM is the undeniable number 1 http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/thumbsup.gif

But VKR a indha list la sekradhu konjam unfair. Wasn't he a character actor who gets some amount of funny scenes in every movie? Ofcourse he often shouts way too loud, but most of his scenes in Aan paavam were quite hilarious. The whole movie was great! So atleast on that basis he should be disqualified from this list.

ippo irukura comediansla

kanja karuppu

vaiyapuri (i really dont understand what our guy like in this guy)

VKR is highly underrated esp in the hub. If these VKR films are not funny, I dont know what is:
1. aaN paavam
2. arangEtra vELai
3. Varusham 16
4. vELaikkAran
esra esra esra esra http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...icon_smile.gif

Ganja kaRuppellAm sellAdhu. I love his dialaak delivery which is unique and natural. Another overrated comedian(?) - Livingston.
