Kenny Everett
How did the BBC not notice Cupid Stunt?

I really used to enjoy Kenny Everett.
Not so much Benny Hill.

My guilty pleasure has always been Frankie Boyle.

Not a chance, no. Don't get me wrong, I think some of his material is awful, but I've also read interviews that suggest he's a decent bloke.

Mrs Brown....hopefully.
I love Mrs Brown's Boys.
This years offering wasn't as good, but this show has helped me through some dark days.
You either love Mrs B or you don't.
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
I find it rather ironic that people discuss acts like comedians not being allowed on TV nowadays, despite everything else typically considered unsuitable for children and/or easily offended seemingly being fully permissible on the box post-watershed.
Mind you, I've heard quite a few people say over the past few years that while they thought comedians like RCB were groundbreaking and 'must-see/hear' some 30-odd years ago, their gags now sound tired, cliched and trite. In fact, someone I know went to see RCB live at Tamworth Assembly Rooms about 10 years ago and found his entire show on that particular occasion nothing but a tedious bore-fest, especially the endless F-bombs basically every other word, coupled with the usual racist and sexist gags, despite said person admitting to being quite a big fan of RCB back in his 90s heyday.
Just shows how the personal tastes of certain individuals themselves can change as they get older, despite the basic subject matters from the likes of certain comedians, etc, still remaining more or less the same throughout their long-established careers.
