Greatness = wealth and/or fame or other success.

1. Madonna......not a serious musician ? Get a session musician to write the tunes and an assistant to help her read the musical score. And some other talented fecker to actually play the instruments. And try to not fv.ck up any live performances, again.

2. Marconi.......the real brains was Mr Tesla

3. Sid Vicious.......utterly talentless. Both on and off stage.

4. Jimmy Savile.......Terry Wogan commented upon him being utterly devoid of talent. And certainly i cannot ever remember a funny joke from the Nonce.


what others ?

Noam Chomsky’s contemptible friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

Two characteristics of the American petty-bourgeois intelligentsia are highlighted in the Chomsky-Epstein correspondence: an infatuation with celebrity and wealth and a complete lack of genuine intellectual independence from bourgeois society.

If the heart of The Beatles was Lennon & McCartney, then the heart of Monty Python was Cleese & Jones. However Michael Palin & Eric Idle did pen some good material additionally. And the animations of Terry Gilliam were ground breaking.

Graham Chapman, however, meh.....mostly drunk....he belongs in this thread as much as any other passengers you care to mention.

I always rated Adolf Hitler as a bit of a "doer". I mean he got things done. Encouraged the youth movement, increased industrialisation and encouraged a strong work ethic with his labour camps.
He tended to get a bad press in the UK with a lot of coverage given to killing Jews and gypsies and invading other countries.
He gave Germany their engineering expertise and made sure things ran on time.
 
Most artists. Its more about 'getting the nod from the establishment' than it ever was about 'selling & popularity with Joe Public'. A case in point :

- Banksy....the Renegade Rebel who is actually lock-step in unison with Keir's Liberal Left agenda.

- The Mona Lisa......is it really that much better than 10,000 other portraits available ?

- Jackson Pollock/Andy Warhol/Mark Rothko..........any young fool, at art school, could produce an effort to rival their 'genius'. In fact, even including a number of feckers who never bothered going to Art School.

Whether or not a Chimpanzee could produce art to rival Jackson Pollock ? no comment.

I'd take any of them over that fraud Basquiat. The most untalented dauber ever to mishandle a paintbrush.
 
Mr Blobby.

Was meant to be the absolute worst idea for a kids TV character in order to prank celebrities on Noel's House Party who thought they were genuinely starring in kids TV.

Went on to have a number one hit single and bags of merchandise eventually eclipsing the achievements of his benevolent host.

Who could forget. It was actually a woman wasn't it? I've forgotten.
 
Every "great" philosopher. Talk some s*** and tell some other people some s***. Be a bit mysterious and don't wash much. Don't shave. Talk some s***. Write some s*** down about how people live. Doesn't require any proof just make it up. Equivalent of talking s*** in the pub. We can all do that.

Mrs. Miggins, there’s nothing intellectual about wandering around Italy
in a big shirt, trying to get laid.

It is only that Da Vinci painted it, Hieronymus Bosch, now there's a painter.

Couldn't agree more. Little talent but massive ego and self belief drove her to fame. Total narcissist.
 
Ant & Dec. FFS why have they won so many awards? They aren't funny, no real talent. One of the great mysteries of the 21st century.

Russel Howard. Never once made me laugh. Comes on stage, one of the lads and is bland as Ant & Dec.
