Dave McSavage beaten up?

Ste.phen · 24-09-2008 1:21pm #1

I got an email from my mother about this earlier:

See someone bet up Dave McSavage!
some guy took offense at whatever he said about his wife and the guy hopped him
Two 17 year olds had to pull the guy off him He is playing it up for all its worth as he had his kids with him
People were texting Ian Dempsey and saying they were not surprised as he is so annoying

Anyone got a video? In this day of camera phones and youtubes I'd not be surprised.

Galvasean · 24-09-2008 1:23pm

Pfft, some people just can't take a joke.

Get well soon McSavage

furtzy · 24-09-2008 1:24pm

Not surprised. Seen him in letterkenny where he referred to the audience as brits....was booed off the stage. I'm surprised he wasn't lynched

GhostInTheRuins · 24-09-2008 1:24pm

Excellent. I'm Suprised it hasn't happened sooner to be honest, annoying bastard.

KTRIC · 24-09-2008 1:24pm

FUCK YEAH !!!

He's just doing what we all wanted to do. McSavage is a spanner that deserves a good kicking. And I don't like violence but I'd make an exception for him.

The last time I saw him he made fun of a couple of middle-aged American tourists who were wearing similar jackets, and implied they were having an incestuous relationship.
Classy.

Who

I know I could google it, but I'm too lazy

Fizman · 24-09-2008 1:31pm

I'm just surprised that the OP's Ma knows how to email!

I'd be freaked out if I got an email off my ma! She's only gotten round the whole texting phenomenon.

I know this is Dave McSavage who's gotten a slap so it was hardly unprovoked, but I'm not one to go cheering at someone else's misfortune. If someone attacks another person over a joke (however unfunny), they're a bit of a scumbag. I wouldn't cheer for that.

I would like to make it clear, I do not in any way condone Dave McSavage, his act, or his sense of humour.

Wagon · 24-09-2008 1:34pm

Glad to see he took it too far and got beaten up. I'm well up for a joke but sometimes the last thing you want is some bloke with an annoying voice, glasses and a guitar insulting your wife.

I'm calling shenanagins!
It violates the 'No wimmins on the internet' rule AND the 'your mother will never be able to use computers' rule.
The only way this could be true is if yore ma is actually yore da.

stovelid · 24-09-2008 1:35pm

Wouldn't wish too much physical harm on anyone, but the guy does wind people up. Amazed it hasn't happened before. Obviously he got lax and stopped doing his 'routine' close to security cameras.

Gummy Panda · 24-09-2008 1:35pm

Degsy must have been bored and decided to play McSavage a visit

4zn76tysfajdxp · 24-09-2008 1:36pm

That Degsy's just out of control...

Turd Ferguson · 24-09-2008 1:39pm

I like his sense of humor and I love the concept of what he does, but his jokes are generally not funny and I've met him a few times and he is a total prick...so I'm glad to see this

Creature · 24-09-2008 1:39pm

This was inevitable. Hopefully it will deter him from doing his 'annoying cunt on the street corner' routine from now on.

whiskeyman · 24-09-2008 1:44pm

Good to see the Comedy Police taking action...

Black Swan · 24-09-2008 1:45pm

savage

Dragan · 24-09-2008 1:50pm

I think the important thing here is that when Dave McSavage is doing his "act" it is not invited. When you pay to go to a comedy show you expect a bit of crowd interaction and I've never seen anyone take the jokes from a comedian in this manner as anything but designed for humour.

There is something about McSavage that is cowardly and weasel like. I bet when he went to school he was the class loud mouth who would run to the teachers at the first sign of someone getting sick of his ****.

tribulus · 24-09-2008 1:52pm

Has he got any qualifications or does he have a regular job or is this his sole income?

Sherifu · 24-09-2008 1:52pm

Now that's comedy.

But it wouldn't have been a joke.

It would of been abuse... possibly of a racist nature (As he is known to do that) thrown at a some guys wife.

IronMan · 24-09-2008 1:56pm

I would pay money to watch a video of this.

Agamemnon · 24-09-2008 1:58pm

Great news. Nice to know that there's at least some justice in the world.

Probably on the dole.

kevmy · 24-09-2008 2:00pm

Was inevitable really.

I'd have a lot of sympathy for the other guy. Say the wrong thing so many times and you will eventually hit a nerve. McSavage has been warned often enough before - even he can't be surprised

6th · 24-09-2008 2:08pm

Its one of the few things that makes me think "Hey, Degsy aint that bad".

tba · 24-09-2008 2:08pm

I think we should all share our savage moments, like that time knackers stole his stuff and he chased them with a guitar.

Also, why do people stop to look at his acts?, I have never heard anybody speak well of his comedy.

Yeah, I'm sure it would've been abusive, as is his humour. And no, I'm not in any way surprised about it at all, I'm more shocked that it hasn't happened sooner, and more often.

I would imagine the same reason people stop to look at a car crash.

Galvasean · 24-09-2008 2:20pm

I saw McSavage at a comedy club and an audience member calmbered up onto stage ond tried to box him. Yes McSavage had ripped into him, but the guy was heckling all the comedians that night.
I guess there are a lot of people out there who want to be that guy who punched McSavage.

JC 2K3 · 24-09-2008 2:42pm

I never understand why people hate Dave McSavage.

Haven't seen him in town in ages, but always thought he was a good laugh....

People don't.

I (and I'm sure most other people) stopped to look at his act insofar as the prick pointed me out of a crowd and tried to call me over.

Dodge · 24-09-2008 2:47pm

Delighted for him. Painfully annoying and completely unfunny. If you pay into his "show" fair enough but don't be hassling people on the street.

This is him.
One of my own little montages on the twat.
He ran scampering into the shop terrified a moment later. I followed but got kicked out. Then the assistant realised who he was and kicked him out too.

Dinter · 24-09-2008 3:14pm

Ah that's brilliant!

Hope he was battered rightly. Might learn the argumentative cnut.

Still he'll be hogging airtime now with his snivelling recriminations.

The fact that Dave McSavage was the biggest arse hole justifies the scumbaggery.

When I was about 16 me and my mates watched his show and he was slagging us, so we left. We came back with a bag of maggots that we got from a fishing shop and fecked it him. It smashed open upon impact on his guitar and the maggots went everywhere. He had to stop the show he was doing and move away. Looking back on it, there was a period where I thought what I had done was rather scumbagish, how ever, further reflecting upon my actions that day, I'm glad we did that.

He's a stupid bollox.

Gran Hermano · 24-09-2008 3:28pm

Hopefully the chances of MRSA setting in will be high when he's in A&E.

humberklog · 24-09-2008 3:30pm

It's a fine line between Scumbaggery and Chivalrey. And in this instance it was well worth crossing.
If MacS kids were with him the attacker should have asked him was he a kiddyfiddler while he was laying a few slaps down. As these words have been used by MacS against unsuspecting passing public that have their kids with him when they've passed by his "act".

As was already mentioned I'm surprised it hasn't more often then this. But anyway good to see it.

VERYinterested · 24-09-2008 3:51pm

According to the Sun today, he said as the couple were passing: "You're sooo beautiful" and then "Your girlfriend is good looking too" Our friend then threw his toolbox at McSavage and threatened to 'get him' when there wouldn't be a mob to protect the 'funny' man. I've seen his act a few times on Grafton St and was glad I wasn't picked out for any treatment. Another day I was on the Luas and he was filming something for his DVD and he was being a smart ass towards some elderly people that hadn't a clue who he was. Luckily it was my stop before he worked his way up the tram. I remember thinking to myself, some day, someone is going to deck him.

If that's all that he said then tbh your man must have been an utter scummer to attack over such a harmless comment.

Dave McSavage beaten up?
