I propose David Starkey - at least he doesn't sit on the fence!

Well, he's just doing his schtick…
… but I did enjoy the Google ads along the bottom ('Learn Welsh now'!)
Ha ha!
He's actually quite funny on this clip. Ordinarily, he's a posh, jumped-up odious little sh*t...
I propose Larry David
rudest on tv
as a fan of bill hicks and chris morris i generally watch tv with a question of have i missed a meeting on 'comedians' merits. alone in the field of a) envelope pushing jokes b)full on ouchability is frankie boyle-never seen him live alas, but he managed to raise mock the week above the 'smith and jones esque banter' of andy parsons? ,russell howard et al
Jeremy Clarkson
So tedious, odious and representative of everything I don't miss about life in the UK.
Bill O'Reilly
He gets people on his show and then just talks over them or cuts them off.
I could post many examples of this from youtube but I would be here all day.
The man is odious.
Paul Ross
just about shades his brother in the obnoxious stakes.
pfft...
if you enjoyed THIS kind of adoration, you might be kinda obnoxious too...
Their tongues are so far
in their cheeks that they must have been welded there !
Absolute genius!
I though I was going to die from laughing after reading a couple of pages of those comments. Is it a bunch of different people, or just one vicious bugger with too much time on their hands? Whatever - ennoble them now!
It's made my
morning. Brilliant.
In real life?
Alan Davies
Ken Stott
Shane Richie
Graham Norton
Glenn Hoddle
Neil Stuke
The list is actually endless
Oh on the telly? No one. It's all an act. From Anne Robinson to Simon Cowell, no one is to be taken seriously.
Glenn Hoddle
was quite nice to me when I hit him on the head with a beach ball in Spain about six years ago...
Yes, but he knows
you've got it coming in the next life...
Alan Davies
definitely, the epitome of the 'johnny come lately', smug gooner
Rupert Grint.
And his "people".
Tiresome, jumped up, need a slap.
Ken Stott
I'm disappointed. Always suspected Davies was a cnut though, can't abide the fella. May he never darken the pages of Word again.
I can't believe no-one has yet mentioned
Gordon Ramsay.
I actually cannot stand the man. I completely abhor violence in any form, but I thought that generally, if you talk to someone the way he talks to people (whether they be his employees or otherwise) you'd get punched very hard in the face. Though I don't wish harm upon him, he could certainly do with being taken down a peg or twelve.
I don't care how many michelin stars he has
if he spoke to me like that at work, I'd twat him over the head with a heavy-bottomed frying pan, then jump up and down on him till he squished.
No one deserves to have their dignity stripped away like that.
Ditto Alex Ferguson.
Bill Oddie
yes I know he sufferes from depression but whenever I see him on Tv and the occassions I've glimpsed him at gigs I often think "why do you leave the house if we're all such a pain to you?"
A mate saw him at a Prince gig and he was the only bloke sitting down, with his coat on and a face like thunder.
I eman Madonna sung that saucy song about him, he should be happy
Yes, he's very rude
but perhaps we now know why.
Another rude person: Rolf Harris.
Rolf
No! Say it ain't so!
Jeremy Paxman, Jon Snow etc
I agree with Five_Centres above that for a lot of these people, the rudeness is an act. It's just entertainment.
But I'm not sure the various interviewers on the news programmes, are much better. It's quite right to question people in public life, but the political interview does seem to have become choreographed on both sides. The aggressive questioning and contempt, particularly from Paxman, is usually met with a measured tone, and calm response, and the politicians say what they want to anyway. Both sides have a certain image to project, and I don't think much is revealed in this kind of interview.
Did someone say Paxman?
This is godlike
"Do you have anything else to say in your defence?" at the end
captures Paxman perfectly. Some time ago on one of those Before They Were Famous shows, there was a clip of a youthful Paxman presenting an item about the quality of Christmas crackers, and becoming as outraged as if he were talking about war in the middle-east. It wasn't far off the clip you've posted.
Oh yeah i remember that
where he snarled about the gifts in christmas crackers being 'pathetic' and 'cheap' and then reading out the joke with absolute disdain whilst wearing a purple paper hat.
Think it might have been Nationwide
genius
i'd vote for chris morris if he were to run for prime-minister.
i once picked my nose on pebble mill at one...
I have long suspected that Nicky Campbell
is a sh1t of the highest odour.
But
there's no evidence for this. Ok, he may come across as being somewhat self-satisfied, but he always strikes me as articulate and clued-up. And the only times I have seen/heard him being remotely 'rude' have been when he has justifiably challenged shifty politicians or dodgy dealers.
Hi Nicky!
(just kidding) - I have heard stories of him giving certain underlings the hairdryer treatment.
