this guys on turbirdy tonight,am i the only one who thinks he's not very funny ? a lot of people think he's hillarious but i have never found anything he did funny.

whiskeyman

never found either of the duo funny, but know plenty who do.
Each to their own I guess.......

I saw his stand up show from a few years ago and thought it was terrible. He was playing some character going around talking to people in the audience and it was so repetitive. I think some of the other stuff he did was good though

Huggles

Phew thought it was just me, his character based sketches remind me of that drunk uncle we all have that staggers aroung a family wedding/event. Not funny just cringeable

Ruu_Old

Some of his stuff is good, but some of it does get a bit repetitive. I cant forgive the D'unbelieveables for the whole "thats rooigght" thing.

The odd bit is funny enough but the majority is crap.

Scraggs

Thank God I'm not the only one!! Occasionally he can be funny...but only the odd time..the rest of the time its cringeworthy imo

Thats Right!

Chong

Hallelujah, I thought I was the only one. He is not a comedian end of story.

Oh yes he is

Dr. Dre

Not funny.

Chong

All he is a fool or jester for the public to "laugh at".

His comedy consists of making country folk look thick and also badly portraying the traveling community.

Morrissey

he is not funny at all.. well, he is funny to auld people and people who like that cod culchie type nonsense. he's no comedian anyway. more like a pub entertainer that's making big bucks doin the same old ****e impresions and dated humour

Agent Orange

I always thought he was quite amusing.

That ended with 'Killinaskully'. Everyone involved in the writing of that show deserves to be brutally murdered.

My sentiments exactly.

fuzzywiggle

I really dislike Pat Short. He puts on a country accent and then talks sh*te :rolleyes:

Tha Gopher

Dublin folk regard Shortt as a thick, unfunny culchie

Country folk regard Brendan O`Carroll as a cheeky Dublin bollix

Both are loved in their respective target markets.


Ive never been mad into either tbh. Mind you, Shortt was very good in Man About Dog, but I just never got the stand up/Dunbelieveables stuff. Never seen O`Carrolls DVDs, i think I saw him doing stand up with jokes robbed from other comedians once.

_Kaiser_

Can't stand the guy or the tripe that passes for prime time comedy on RTE - Kilnaskully.

Course, backing up what Tha Gopher said, I share a house with lads from Cavan and they think its fantastic and that the guy is some sort of comedy genius :rolleyes:

That said I'm not a fan of Brendan O'Carroll either

Zapp Brannigan

Im a fan of Pat Shortt, and I'm a born and bred Dub. Hate Brendan O' Carroll though.

talking_walnut

Not a fan I must say. Used to like him but there's absolutely no variety in his act. Got old a looonnnggg time ago.

Can't stand Brendan O'Carroll. Don't know how anybody can find him remotely enteraining. And don't get me started on Brendan Grace!!!

Chong

Oh Brendan Grace is even worse, but I wont say anymore in fear of talking walnut getting started.

biko

And what's with that extra head?
Although I like the Roll song...

Pigman II

As a general rule of thumb I hate any comedian that smiles/laughs at more than 98% of his own jokes.

blu_sonic

i think he and brendan o'knobend shot be publically hung, for crimes against good taste.
Im a Dub

I find him funny at times but like what was said before its more laughing at him than with him.I dont particularly think he portrays country folk or the travelling community in any worse light than any other Irish comics,they all take the piss out of Irish stereotypes..Tommy Tiernan is what i cant understand,i just find him to be absolute ****e.I have gone to see his show twice and both shows consisted of him ranting and raving and making stupid noises for laughs.His material sucks and when he gets heckled he does not have the quick wit for a comeback.Although she is an absolute idiot i found the time Jordan ripped into him on national TV to be hilarious,he had no reply at all.
