    Just wondering if we all share the same hatred for certain tv "personalities."
    The person I hate with a pasion is that Julian guy from UTV who introduces programs like Coronation Street and Emerdale.

    So my two are Mr UTV - Julian
    And of course Mr RTE - Pat Kenny

    Rte: Caroline Morahan/Amanda Brunker. Celtic tiger cubs make my skin crawl as if I was in a pit of a billion hungry maggots.

    English TV : Davina McCall. Surely a case for Euthanasia.

    Ryan Tubridy-as was said its a familiar tune but its one so very much worth singing!

    Caroline Morahan-"Tits and teeth" was the best description I've heard of her.

    Hector-"Heya folks this is the Hector here!"-gah,cant stand him.

    The minute I saw this thread I was thinking JULIAN FROM UTV!! All he ever does is waffle on about Coronation Street.

    Second vote for Hector, Shirley TB (!) and Pat Kenny.

    Also that continuity announcer/motor show presenter Jon Slattery (or Slaughterhouse as Dustin calls him)

    Speaking of motor shows...Jeremy Clarkson. Enough with the tight jeans old man!! :mad:

    Derek Mooney.

    RTE's constant failure to employ presenters with an ounce of a braincell never ceases to amaze me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,978 ✭✭✭445279.ie


    Derek Mooney - I hate him!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,641 ✭✭✭✭Elmo


    That girl from Ireland AM, she now works on FOX TV reality shows. Her mole, moley moley moley. (I have a mole too but I don't emphasis it, lol)

    Craig BBC Sport Irish guy???

    That Gardener Fella on the Recycle adds with that woman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭ElNino


    Ryan Tubridy and Marty Whelan. I could swear that Tubridy was cloned from Whelan :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 DJPJ


    Definitely Mr. Tubridy... ...a face that television will never love. Besides which, return of the fogey is like sooooo last May


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 163 ✭✭Milkman Dan

    I disagree and agree.

    Caroline Morahan is deadly, Brunkers got big jabs so why not.

    Davina McCall, hate her, her shouting is head wrecking.

    Im in total agreement - I hate Pat Kenny - something about him that really irritates me - Julian is also a tool but he doesnt annoy me quite as much as Pat.

    Also that auld woman on the recycling ads also irritates the crap out of me. :mad:

    She's a very bad actress.

    Represents all that's wrong with many english presenters.

    She is very irritating.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    Trinnie and Suzanne, the two tarts on BBC who try to change the way people dress, but have absolutely no fashion sense.

    Pat Kenny, because he's the worst interviewer I have ever seen!

    And, let's face it, all other RTE presenters!

    Ah, I think she's Amanda Byram. She's woeful alright.

    Also hate:
    Julian Symmons
    Nearly all RTE presenters
    That guy who has long hair and presented a scrapped show called Boys & Girls, plus daytime stuff on Channel 4. He's on a quizshow on BBC2 now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,062 ✭✭✭✭tk123

    Somebody I used to work with was from Derry and said that yer man is a bit of a celeb in the north!!!?!?!?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,102 ✭✭✭Genghis


    Some excellent suggestions so far. Notably Davina AND Julian.

    But I am surprised nobody has mentioned 'Ant' and 'Dec'. Annoying accents, not funny, over-rehearsed muppets. The whole 'Ant always on the left' and 'Dec always on the right' thing really grates me too.

    Also the newsreader on TV3 who used to do mornings and is now 'anchor' in the evenings - Claire somebody. Just what does she sit on that causes her to bounce up and down in the set all the time?

    The scary political reporter from the same station 'Ursula Halligan' also bugs me - I think it is all down to her multi-faceted resenblance to that other bug bear of mine - the 'heroine' from 'Murder She Wrote'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 455 ✭✭penguinbloke


    My two are the blond from I.D. and that guy from the Den.

    Both should be beaten to death with a plank of wood with an exceptionally rusty nail sticking out of it.

    Ant and Dec come a close second though, that might just be due to "Biker Grove" nostalgia though, I can't watch the tv show. It just reminds me of "Noel's House Party" without Noel, the house, or the party.

    What ever happened to Spuggy...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Dara O'Briain : The big fat, useless, smarmy, Uncle Fester looking, lilac-wearing fool who hosts The Panel and whose jokes still wouldn't begin to be remotely funny even if he learnt to speak without saying 'ehhhhh' every 2 seconds like some drooling cabbage whose just undergone a labotomy.

    Jamie Theakston (sp?) gets a mention too. Surely the only person on Earth who could turn a seque between Aretha Franklin and Jimmy Hendrix in into a steaming pile of ****? And as for the way he goes on on that terrible BBC2 gameshow of his (the name of which I can't even remember?) it makes my skin crawl.

    Leave him out of this. I get the Ehhhhh, but he is funny. And he was excellent at Buried Alive, why because he let the guest speak with out interrupting them.

    I hear your anger.

    Heheh she is the image of Jessica (or JB) Fletcher alright. Two auld hags!! :D she also says everything in an astoundingly irritating sing-song way.

    Carrie Bradshaw/SJP would have to be another. I liked SATC until it became this all-consuming global monstrosity and people were having cocktail parties to celebrate the last episode....:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭Evil_Bilbo


    That Alex Zane poof from MTV - jaysus he's annoying. What is his beef? If fact - anyone off mtv (that camp "news" reader dude).

    Derek Mooney - I mean - anyone who's catchphrase is "BYY-YYYEEEEE" should be shot.

    Pat the plank Kenny - could he be any worse - a real life Alan Partridge

    That bird from ID

    Tubridy - not even bothered commenting on his annoying characteristics - worse than pat kenny.

    Jerry "a good face for radio" Ryan - WHO let him on the telly - smarmy, smug, self satisfied w@nker. He's also a complete bollocks in real life. Him and his wife tried to sue a family who's kid said that ryan's kid pissed on him in a swimming pool. How bad is that. It is true btw. A bus-smash would be too good for this pr!ck.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    has to be pat kenny annoying little ****


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,061 ✭✭✭dawballz


    dara o brian is a muppet. he always says "Eehhhhhh" after every sentance.
    gay byrne seems a bit ignorant, dont like him.
    that one on ID that everyone thinks is good looking but is really ugly.
    pat the plank kenny
    martin on tv3.
    ant and dec too, they're crap.
    the cast of coronation st. i really cant stand that horrible horrible accent.
    the wimmin on sex and the city, why would people watch that show it's disgraceful, and the wimmin think they're all good lookin but they're ugly b£$^%rd$
    ryan tubridy, cant stand the sight nor sound of him.

    Who's the Northern Irish guy on BBC?

    Maybe he's Scottish. Some young blonde guy anyway, I don't think he's been mentioned here but God I can't stand him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,560 ✭✭✭DublinWriter


    I can't believe no-one has mentioned Gerry Ryan yet, what is this country coming to?

    Oh wait, you meant the most annoying person on *TV*. Sorry.

    Hang on......CLAIRE MCKEOWN!

    Who on earth let her near a microphone/camera in the first place. She's the broadcasting equivalent of someone drawing a steel-claw down a blackboard....slowly.

    Not even annoying in an entertaining way, just annoying in an annoying way.

    Thankfully she failed in TV the same way she failed in Radio and in Marketing.

    God is good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    I just watched 2 episodes of the Swan and 2 hours of the most blatant insincerity from a presenter I've ever seen. So having seen that I say AManda Byram is the most annoying person on TV.
