2	Michael Hazen James [=McIntyre=] (born 21 February 1976) is a hyperactive British standup comic focusing on observational humour. Also a frequent guest on {{Panel Game}}s and the host of his own GameShow, ''Series/TheWheel''. He is known for being subject to a dissonance between [[CriticalDissonance being popular in the general public but hated by many critics]] for being 'too conventional' or 'too safe'. His best known routines are probably the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgUpDGAIdds Man Drawer]]", that time when [[https://youtu.be/o4_YL9QotBM the dentist couldn't get his tooth out]], his claim that [[https://youtu.be/YmwBw10RmLs skipping while swinging your arms]] gives you SuperSpeed at the expense of looking a bit stupid, and the revelation that [[https://youtu.be/F2hyB_Eg6q8 any word can be used by a posh person to mean drunk]]: "gazebo'd", "car parked".
3	----
4	!!Contains examples of:
5	* AffectionateNickname: Ozzy, for his youngest son, Oscar
6	* AnthropomorphicFood: One of his bits is about [[https://youtu.be/mvi0ZLEHj3A different spices talking amongst themselves in a cupboard]], complaining about their lack of use in comparison to salt and pepper.
7	* CampStraight: His usual manner, often lampshaded.
8	* CurseCutShort: In his tale about the dentist, he gets one off to the anesthetist who says "Yes, I know exactly who you are, my daughters are big fans... my wife and I, not so keen."
9	-->'''[=McIntyre=]:''' I was like 'You mother-' ''[mimes fainting]''
10	* DeadpanSnarker: Despite his usual hyperactive manner, he is given to moments of wry, sardonic wit.
11	-->'''[=McIntyre=]''': 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.
12	* EyeTropes: Despite having no known East Asian ancestry, [=McIntyre=] has "Chinese eyes", which he sometimes mentions.
13	* IAmVeryBritish
14	* LargeHam: Just when you thought he reached how loud he could get, he always manages get ''even louder''.
15	* RidiculousExchangeRates: Referenced when he miscalculated an exchange rate, giving all his remaining local cash to a helpful guide in Dubai, thinking it was worth £90 - then, on the plane home, realising it was actually worth 9p.
16	* SharpDressedMan: Always wears a suit.
17	* ThatCameOutWrong: An attempted 'innocently quirky joke reply' which came out as implying he was a paedophile:
18	--> '''Mother at playgroup:''' Which child is yours?
19	--> '''[=McIntyre=]:''' Oh, none of them.
20	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: 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 "[[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Adolf]]" and "Laser Child of Mine".
