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

    Get well soon McSavage


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,464 ✭✭✭furtzy


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    FUCK YEAH !!! :D

    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.

    I got an email from y0re ma too...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Ste.phen


    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.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    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 got an email from my mother about this earlier:



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

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    That Degsy's just out of control...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    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 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


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

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    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 ****.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,635 ✭✭✭tribulus


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 598 ✭✭✭IronMan


    I would pay money to watch a video of this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


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

    Probably on the dole.

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,308 ✭✭✭✭Dodge


    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.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


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


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,580 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    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".

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,221 ✭✭✭A-Train


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 923 ✭✭✭VERYinterested


    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.
