RIP Richard Farnsworth, likable Canadian from Anne of Green Gables and that David Lynch Disney movie.

looks like a bosom friend and kindred spirit

One more Canadian...

Christine "Moose" McGlade from You Can't Do That on Television.

And on the YCDTOTV note, Les Lye.

Willie Nelson and Louis Armstrong. I wish they could have made an album together.

Ivor Cutler

Absolutely not, I know two people who can't stand him

... and I imagine there's a lot more!

moaty

gonna quietly suggest Oliver Postgate and scarper

seem to recall something about Postgate ripping off other animators but not sure

David Attenborough? Michael Palin?

Cleese hates Palin, doesn't he? Idle certainly does and Gilliam isn't keen on him either.

I'm not sure how true any of that is?

Yeah I've never heard any of that before, though being hated by Eric Idle is surely a plus point?

Yeah, I wld be interested in yr source on that aldo. I think the other Pythons were all pissed off w/ Palin to a greater or lesser extent because he was the main holdout on previous reunion attempts, but in that recent BBC doc Gilliam said that Palin was the funniest of all the Pythons, and he's collaborated w/ Jones, Cleese and Gilliam on other projects outside Python, so they can't hate him that much.

Gilliam's been quite vocal in the past about how Palin just makes lazy television, I remember, but you're right that he said he was the funniest so that may just have been interview talk. Cleese was based on something I saw about reunions, definitely and so may just have been bitterness about that (presumably Cleese needed divorce money at the time).

The Idle one comes from Cleese - he and Idle were always rowing about money and he said that Idle resents them all because he's had to give them their fair shares in royalties from Spamalot which has cost him millions. Excuse Mail link:

not gonna read all 236 answers but i certainly hate the majority of names i've skimread at the top and bottom of this thread

Is it possible to be famous without in some way, whether through applied narcissism or brute expedience, being a twat?

Palin's travel TV is awful.

Attenborough is like a national grandpa. Actively dislike.

python talk relatively frankly about themselves in public is all, I think

Peter York

Does anyone actively like him you mean? Or know who he is anymore.

David Attenborough is a very good call.

Novels, sure. Liking Fidel is unlikable though

Attenborough: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/4345830/Sir-David-Attenborough-I-get-hate-mail-telling-me-to-burn-in-hell-for-not-crediting-God.html

I was about to say "what kind of inhuman monster doesn't like David Attenborough?" and now I know.

Is that anyway to talk about xyzzz?

The question must be posed, is Lex an inhuman monster too?

So the fit and proper answer to this question is someone popular enough and somewhat bland, who isn't the Queen.

This is probably Attenborough...its just such an unsatisfying answer tho'.

Jeff Stelling is invariably the answer here

the therapy is working then? wasn't sure you could type 'jol' without following it with 'out'

I bet a majority of Darlington fans might beg to differ, you could say all 8 of them but still...

xxp

I worked through it with that last big rant a whiles back

I thought everyone and their kids liked that nice Australian guy who painted a portrait of the Queen and sang about kangaroo sport.

What about the crocodile guy who died?

see objecting to someone merely on the grounds of some pissy football rivalry doesn't count as 'actively' imo. ditto disliking someone for taking the Murdoch shilling

Seem to remember croc guy got a lot of bad press bitd for putting his kids in danger.

No results found for "I hate everyone who has ever lived, with the exception of Jeff Stelling".

A lot of football fans are deranged enough to viscerally Hate someone over pissy regional rivalry. But I suppose it does get ridiculous if you rule everyone out who is affiliated with a fc on them grounds.
