He's just not funny...Hopefully they'll sue the ass off him !

What is people's problem with McDonalds? Jealousy. they wish they could build a corporation as successful as McDonalds. food is provided cheaply and people are happy to eat it, if McDonalds make huge profits, whats the problem? Corporations Rule!!
p.s. I hate Fast Food

DOLEMAN

That Dave McSavage guy is a ****ing idiot. I guess his mother and father didn't give him enough attention as a child.

What was the point of this stunt? I can only think of "look at me!"

Baggly

I think you underestimated the speed with which his opponents would work.

Better luck next time.

Yeah, saw him wandering through Trinity today with a cameraman in tow - was wondering what he was up to.

Good work OP!

He's a street comedian (busker). He may do stand up aswell though.

Time Magazine

He's a crap comedian whose dad was a Minister for Foreign Affairs but he still tries to pull off the anti-system vibe, with his constant re-iteration of jokes about the value of lira and how handicapped people aren't as good as the rest of us.

I'm now going to McDonalds on Grafton St to support them .

He coulnt even get himself picked for this years laughter lounge or whatever it was up in vicar street,but he went along anyway and sulked like a lanky,unfunny schoolboy.I'm pleased t report that pretty much everybody ignored him as well.He's also sore about the way he was "treated" on the late late show..i dont know hat his problem is,nobody actually spat in his face.

easy_as_easy

Dave McSavage is great. Legend. still Mac-y D's is lovely mexican babies or no mexican babies. mmmm

Twas the anti-Iraq war march. There was a few good Fr Ted related quotes, like the picture of a B52 dropping bombs and the strapline down with this kind of thing.

There was also a bunch of dentists with something funny about milk if I remember correctly.

When I first saw his street show I thought it was pretty good but after seeing the same act for the 58th time it had starngely lost most of its appeal.
Oh and Pighead will stop writing in the third person when petermonaghan starts to improve on his shoddy posting. Don't hold your breath folks.
Happy Friday to all apart from petermonaghan.

Dave McSavage is probably one of the unfunniest comedians working in Dublin (although funnier than Des and Aidan Bishop).

The guy has psychiatric issues (well known), which would go some way to explain why he puts himself out on the street purely to abuse passing shoppers for a cheap laugh, he's been beaten up on numerous occasions when he's picked on the wrong person.

Sad.

Degsy thinks pighead should continue to write in the third person just as long as he pleases.Is Degsy to assume the petermonagahn is pighead's new ronoc?

Still... have to admire his tenacity all the same.
I think I'd quit after being slapped around for probably the second or third time.

McSavage - absolute and utter idiot. His 'comedy' consists of slagging passers-by in front of large crowds; which is pretty easy to do when you're the one holding the microphone... as well as nobhead routines where he holds up moronic signs. Yeah. Really funny. He's the Fran Cosgrove/Jade Goody of 'comedians'.

He'll never be a recognisable,as wealthy or as easy on the ear as jade goody.

wow, burn, i sure learned my lesson. your quite the formidable foe.

insult my posting all you want, its still annoying

Earthhorse

I've been zinged by McSavage once and have to say, despite this, I have a lot less animosity toward him than most on this board. Sometimes he crosses the line though.

Don't his "psychiatric issues" extend as far as being treated for depression or something similar? Hardly a raving loon.

Have to say the signs made me laugh. But I feel sorry for the guy. Unless this is for a show or something his career must be seriously flagging.

Baggly

this is what he has always done, and some people dont like the repetition of theme.

sure loads of comedians are treated for depression. it has to do with the highs of performing and the comparitive lows of the rest of life, imo

Hail 2 Da Chimp

MCSavage is a muppet and im sad to say i actually paid for that crappy DVD of his... i want that 2 hours of my life back!!!!

And I've missed it every time unfortunately...maybe some day *crosses fingers*.

He's an un-funny, un-talented, attention seeking gobsh1te. If people just kept walking and ignored him he'd (hopefully) go away except with our level of tourists and those who are so easily entertained that they actually think hes funny, I can't see it happening any time soon.

Oh and Happy Friday Pighead.

Degsy

Actually,i'm about ten minutes away from him..i think i'll go round and give hime a kicking if he's still there!!!!!!

Excellent news. Pighead thought for a minute there that this was going to be a long drawn out slagging match. Pighead admires you for for learning your lesson and as its Friday I'm not going to call you a knob jockey. Sorry for fighting, its just you make me so angry sometimes. Love ya lots. Talk soon.xxxxx

You make me sick petermonaghan. Pighead extends the olive branch of peace to you and what happens? You break it in two with your cruel bony fingers.

After all I've fcuking done for you. I stuck up for you when coolsmileygirl said you were the only bloke on boards she wouldn't shag. "Ah go on coolsmileygirl at least give him a blow job. Just pretend its Pighead you're sucking off.

I told Giblet not to ban you for rubbish posting. "I know his posting is turgid but he's only a young fella, they might improve in time"

Bottom line here petermonaghan(2/10, unoriginal and names not capitalised) is you're an ungrateful spoilt brat who'd be better served showing some respect to those who are looking out for you. Pigheads finished with you buddy. No more kisses.

Baggly

that was quality. i forgive you.

my name is lame, isnt it. meh

DublinWriter

Dave McSavage is actually David Andrews jnr, son of Fianna Fáil politician David Andrews, and his brother is the Fianna Fail politician Barry Andrews.

His is a tragic story. Not clever or devious enough to follow the family business in politics, he now shouts at random strangers in the street and demands money for same.

Highlights of his 'career' including being called by the Late Late Show, not once, but twice, to be the closing guest when the 'real' closing guest was too drunk/indifferent to appear on the show.

Many suggest that to call Dave McSavage a 'comedian' would be akin to calling the Romanian woman who sells the Big Issue outside Bewleys a 'publishing magnate'.

However, harsher critics suggest, given his family's Fianna Fail political background, that if his career in comedy doesn't work out, he could form a family musical act, with Dave jnr on guitar, and his Father and Brother on the fiddle.

That should start you off.. considering they went to town on the owners of that site (and lost, due to it being factual) they should have a field day with whats-his-face.

I read the first 2 paragraphs of that before realiseing it goes on for ages. But just on the environment front they say about mcdonalds creating millions of tons of packaging used for a few mins then discarded, what are they expected to do? hand you an unwrapped burger, a handfull of chips in your hand and pour the drink straigh into your mouth?

Plus you have to wonder about the people that make these sites. Are they actuall concerned about the environment or just anti-mcdonalds for some reason or another (go cold food one day/had crappy service etc) becaus esurely if it was the former they'd be attacking the whole industry instead of just one company within it.


Anyhoo, Dave McSavage isnt funny. If he was he would'nt have to busk for money. When was the last ime you saw Tommy Tiernan annoying people in the street (not saying he's particularly funny, but he's a lot more sucesfull than McSavage)

Well the actual case did go on for years.

well prior to the McLibel case you would get instances that you still see in some other places. They would wrap the burger in paper, put it into a box and the put that box into a bag. All of it trash and none of it recycled. McD using recycled paper for example was due in part to the McLibel case.
