I found a lot of Connolly material on YouTube. He is quite the animated character. He looks funny before he opens his mouth.

I watched one interview which was hilarious... he was exchanging quips and telling stories and was a real delight.

Then I began watching a full stand-up routine on stage. He had presence, great delivery, clever commentary........... and every 4th word was "fuckin'". I suppose that some comedians feel that they have to do that, as audiences expect it when they are not constrained by TV rules. We have American comedians who do essentially the same thing. I seldom watch them. It's not even 'sexual humor', which can be very funny if done right.... it's just 'fuckin' for the sake of saying 'fuckin'.
(An American, Buddy Hackett, was similar.... he was funny all the time, but his stage/club shows were full of obscenities. And Andrew Dice Clay's shows were nothing BUT obscenities.)

So... I am convinced that, with effort, I could find some really great humor from Connolly's routines... if I cared to plow thru the parts that distract me from the point.
