{{tropecreator}}
Hyperactive British standup comic focusing on observational humour. Also a frequent guest on [[Panel Game|Panel Games]]. Like [[Peter Kay]], is subject to a dissonance between being popular in the general public but hated by many critics for being '[[True Art Is Incomprehensible|too conventional]]' or 'too safe'. His best known routines are probably the "Man Drawer" and his claim that skipping while swinging your arms gives you [[Super Speed]] at the expense of looking a bit stupid.
 
{{creatortropes}}
----
Contains examples of:
* [[Camp Straight]]: His usual manner, often lampshaded.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Despite his usual hyperactive manner, he is given to moments of wry, sardonic wit
{{quote| '''Mother''': I've heard that sex and curry can induce labour. Unfortunately, it kind of got me and my wife kicked out of the Raj King.}}
* [[Eye Tropes]]: Despite having no known East Asian ancestry, Mc Intyre has "Chinese eyes", which he sometimes mentions.
* [[I Am Very British]]
* [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]: Always wears a suit.
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: An attempted 'innocently quirky joke reply' which came out as implying he was a paedophile:
{{quote| '''Mother at playgroup:''' Which child is yours?<br />
'''Mc Intyre:''' Oh, none of them. }}
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Has a routine about this, trying to find a fake name for his child weird enough to stop people from automatically saying 'what a nice name' when told it, including "[[Adolf Hitler|Adolf]]" and "Laser Child of Mine".
