I'm not a violent person but when I hear his voice I just want to KNOCK HIS F**KING TEETH OUT!!

2Scoops · 02-04-2008 11:52pm

It's Don Wycherley - everyone else is wrong.

Queen-Mise · 05-04-2008 9:18pm

okay.... I HATE ray foley and his voice and i also HATE his radio show. Once upon a time i could listen to it. If i turn on the radio and its on, these days it lasts about 3 to 4 seconds.
I hate the theme tune "the ray foley, ray foley, ray foley show', aaagghh, I HATE it. I HATE their attempts of humour, with their alternative news at the end of the show. I HATE their 'Entertainment update'.
And insult to injury, they won DJ of the year prize this year, what is that about... He is the most annoying man in the world (with the exceptions of all serial killers, rapists and the like).

I think this has turned more into a rant again the show rather than the voice.. hhmm:rolleyes:

Run_to_da_hills · 05-04-2008 9:35pm

That Auzzi guy that puts on that Harvy Norman add. I have not stepped foot inside one of their shops since they started using it. :pac::pac:Go Harvy Go :pac::pac:

Certain voiceover artists really ask for a good hard punch: there's a guy who's doing a good few voiceovers at the moment. Hard to describe - his accent is kinda americanised and he sticks his jaw out and pronounces "s" as "sh". Opens the 3 Mobile "3 is a magic number" ad. He does the 2FM Sport jingle too ("AIB, supporting clubs, supporting communities" etc). Really, really hurts my ears.

And the guy who does the Blue Cube Loans ad - insanely posh Dublin accent. Not well spoken, FlutterinBantam - I've no problem with that. No, it's a horribly contrived extreme Dublin 4 yoke and he's got a kinda husky voice. It's utterly hideous. "Wunt a holiday? Troy Blee Kyeeb lewns!"
Oh here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D3IPZMTXa0

Estella · 05-04-2008 10:55pm

Was going to say Ger Gilroy (Newstalk 106 ) But I don't think his smug high pitched voice has broken yet. So its Gerry Ryan for me.

Loopy · 05-04-2008 10:56pm

That american twat on spin at lunchtime, with the irishbird (no not boards IB, dont know which is more annoying actually:rolleyes:) Not sure if there still on air?

Dudess · 05-04-2008 11:07pm

Since people are including regional radio personalities, anyone listen to Cork's 96FM news at 5.45 on weekdays? (I swear I don't listen to it for anything else! Worst. Station. Ever.)The male anchor has the most disinterested, jaded, bored sounding voice I've ever heard. It really communicates "I don't give a fukk what I'm doing". And it's really low and soft as opposed to authoritative, which is what a newsreader's voice should be. And he mumbles, mutters, trails off. It's appalling.
There are two female anchors on rotation. One is fine - I've heard people slag her for being "too posh". She's fuppin' English for god's sake! But the other one... Oh good Christ! The most snooty, contrived, stuck-up accent - she is the Emma McNamara of Cork! And she puts on a kind of sneering tone that makes her sound so up herself. Why do people bother putting on accents? Are they that insecure?

Oh just thought of the worst: Noel Fogarty on INN, which is the generic news feed that local stations use at night (so you hear it on a number of stations simultaneously). Oh Jesus H Christ. The posh accent, the laughable way he pronounces his name (a name that, in fairness, doesn't exactly lend itself to poshness), the way he injects melodrama into his reading, the pauses, the stop-starts - my ears bleed when he's on...

internelligent · 06-04-2008 6:43am

Not too fond of Gerry Ryan's!

chuci · 06-04-2008 9:48am

that american fellow who does cork talks back on red fm and neil prendiville on corks 96 fm i hate both of them equally. the guy from bachelors walk when he says my home.ie and harvey norman adds. horrible. cant believe people hate ray d'arcy.

Dudess · 06-04-2008 11:00am

The American fella who does Cork Talks Back has been gone from that show for five years! Unless you're talking about the current guy who has a Cork accent with an American twang? (Maybe he lived in the States for while, then again maybe he just puts on a hint of an American accent - not uncommon).

Hmmm. Initially he had a "It's too early in the morning and I couldn't be arsed projecting my voice or speaking clearly so I'll just mutter" attitude which I found most arrogant. But I think he's improved since.

Bard · 06-04-2008 11:39am

Did nobody mention Derek Mooney?

Well I will. Oh and +1 for MOYKLE MAKMOLLON from me too. Don't care if he knows his stuff (soccer-wise, at least), I still reach for another station when I hear his ridiculous accent.

Nickibaby* · 06-04-2008 8:49pm

Gerry Ryan find his voice really irritating

I'd have to go along with you here - your man sounds constipated. Newstalk heads go mental for the non-regional diction to such an extent that it backfires and gives them all a looney Tony Fenton 80s mid-atlantic accent.

ismynametoolong · 11-04-2008 2:15pm

For me its a pretty close contest between Ger Gilroy ( Newstalk ) and that clown Paul Collins (Today Fm ) either one can out do the other on any given day !!

tbh · 11-04-2008 2:18pm

not so much an annoying voice, as an annoying habit. Has anyone noticed that every single texter to Ann-Marie Kelly includes her name in the text?

"There's a bad crash in Athenry Ann-Marie"

"Ann-Marie can you ask drivers blah blah"

Either every texter actually does it, or she just inserts her name herself and I don't know which one depresses me more

chewie283 · 11-04-2008 2:57pm

98fm sports guy in the morning, Johnny Lyons, I think....

john concannon · 11-04-2008 7:17pm

Dave Fanning,Eamonn ''Dutch Gold'' Dunphy,Deirdre O'Kane who makes my ears cry and last but not least Jim-Jim ''I have frequent constipation'' Nugent.

Well somebody has to stand up for Moooooooooiiiiiiichael Mcccmullllen:D

That accent makes me hard.

She's behind this link.

Dare you click it?

Fanny Wank · 11-04-2008 11:05pm

I hate all the people who do voice overs for ads who put on really bad american accents. Too many to mention really, clearwire braad-band adds are especially painful.

Don't know if they have radio adds but the bag of shit who does the voice over on the TV add for yourlocal makes me want to kick the TV every time it comes on. Possibly the worst put on voice I've ever heard.

Btw if ad men want american accents why don't they just hire americans?

*hopes to god the people he just slagged aren't actually from america

I know the one you mean, would love to stab him in the face with a hammer (it is possible lol)

EJLL · 28-04-2008 1:34pm

Rick O'Shea. His voice sounds like diarrhoea splattering on the bottom of a toilet bowl. If you say “putha, putha, putha, putha, putha, putha, putha” really fast you get a sound similar to Rick O’Shea talking on the radio. Wrecks my head!

2-ShortDa5foot5 · 28-04-2008 1:39pm

That pretentious w*nker who does the last word on Today FM. Matt Cooper I think it is? Kinda has a sarcastic smarta*s tone, I HATE him. :mad:

Rick O'Shea, christ!

WhY. DoeS. He. TalK. LikE. ThiS?!

Accentuates the last letter of each word and stops in between words. Very William Shatnery.

Has a tendancy to mumble through emails and texts as well.

Don Wycherley? The bastard is a queue jumper too. I was in Dunnes in the city centre queuing behind about 7 people and he just saunters in up near the tills and takes his place ahead of everyone else. He was buying a large French Stick. You could tell that people were fantasising about inserting said stick up his bum-bum. He even dresses like a knob, with his old Paddy-Irish man hat and dirty cords.

Ha ha look at this

IN particular, those two PR1CKS on in the morning, KC & Lenny! :mad:

They have about as much chemistry as Pat Kenny does with his guests, and they are NOT funny!

Speaking of Rick O' Shea, KC sounds like he's doing his best to sound like him, da bulbous eyed d1ck!

Also, speaking of radio ads, does anyone HATE the seemingly quick, breezy and to the point ads for banks, which are over in 30 seconds, only to be followed by another 30 seconds of "Allied Irish Banks is regulated by the financial regulator... etc etc... lending criteria... terms & conditions" muddling up your brain?!?!
