Do I hear someone slag the comic brilliance of Mr. Murphy. The show has made it more than 1 season, so he's doing something right. The show's brilliant, simple as!!

The show is not a full on comedy show, its a breath of fresh air that is aimed at the complete drivel being thrown out to us on t.v E.g. Pat Kenny, TV3, Fair City etc.

Its P!SS take show, true its not as funny as it used to be but now each show has more of an agenda or "gripe" if you will.

Thought the show where he "took the p!ss" out of the 'OVER ACTIVE BLADDER' syndrome ad was A1.

I'm going to agree with Trilla here, Colin Murphy is just not funny. At all.

some bits are good, some are trying to slag decent programmes, the irony is that he would rip to pieces his own diet coke turtle ad if some other tosser comedian had done it, and probably the blizarrd of odd itself cause it does have a lot of crap all the same.

Fair enough, he can be funny on the panel, but I could just see someone takin the piss out of his program ten times as much as he does about other programs. And yeah I can see him havin a go at his own ad (diet coke) if it wasnt him, but the other night was just not funny at all. absolutely shíte, and has been that way for a long time....

Don't worry, you'll grasp complex ideas like sarcasm and irony some day.

Didn't realise it was him that did the diet coke ad - I thought it was that other professional Nornie and "love rat" that was on Cold Feet and features on every second advert on UTV.

I like the format of the show. I just hate Colin Murphy. He's **** and unfunny too. Plus he wears a ramones t-shirt which automatically makes him a sheep.

I also hate the way on the panel that he's always doodling as tho he's 'crafting' the next piece of unfunny ****e to come out of his gob. I'd like to shove that notepad up his arse and kick seven shades of ****e out of him thru his nostrils.

It's not meant to be funny. It's meant to be interesting, and it usually is.

It's not written by the presenter alone. It's written mostly by others.

It gets worse and worse every week. His 'sarcasm' is not really that funny anymore. If it's just meant to be interesting, he should stop talking over the clips, I'd rather watch them without his commentary

caught the northern ireland version where hes was showing school educational films of baby chicks being gassed:D almost fell off the chair laughing, if was ****ing hilarious to think what they were showing 5yr olds back then. the idea of a whole classroom of traumatised kids looking at this justs creases me up with the whole political incorrectness of it now:)

The first series kept me sane in the land of no cable for three years.
I dunno though. I used to fall around the kip laughing at it. Not as good as it used to be I think.

Funnily enough, I think he's very good on BOO but not very funny at all on The Panel. Agree about the notepad thing, very annoying.
The TV review is the best bit by far in Blizzard. The made in Ireland part is quite good too.

Everytime I turn it on Colin Murphy is always talking about some bad x-rated movie, like the other night it was " Lord of the G string":rolleyes: His comedy is not greaet forced and unoriginal, a bit like all the stuff thats on the panel tbh.
