Atrocious advert in the Metro or the Herald AM this morning

briantwin

Has anyone else read that advert on the back page of one of the free morning papers you get on the train. Some genius gave Brendan O'Carroll free reign to write a customer testimonial of laser eye surgery for some clinic or other in Dublin. I must say watching the man parade himself around television dressed as a granny is bad enough. But the cringe worthy tripe he manages to put in print is a whole other story. For a very unfunny man whose comic crassness is unsurpassable you'd think that maybe they (the marketing people for the clinic) would have read what he had written. And after mopping up the anal leakage that Mr.O'Carroll (or Mrs.Brown, whichever he truly believes he is these days) humour induces would have decided to pull the plug on the whole mortifying lot, and gouged his eyes out for good measure.

He talks about his fear of eye surgery because his uncle used to threaten to lick his eyeballs. Then he goes on to describe a dream where he dreamed the doctor put one of his eyes in his mouth to hold it during surgery, which he swallows, then skip to the end the doctor has to stick a probe up his "rectum."
PUNCHLINE: He couldn't see it, but I could see him!!

I wouldn't consider buying something as innocuous as washing up liquid with an endorsement from this granny-tranny, so low is my opinion of this farcical character. Let alone let some surgeon cut slivers off my eyeball with a laser.

Anyone else have the same horrible experience of reading this s*te on a packed train this morning.

the guy is a pube on the tiles of the gene pool.

i find him about as funny as the prospect of contracting testicular cancer tomorrow.

Saw the ad on the back of whichever one it was on this morning, and immediately slammed the paper down on the table in front of me and started breathing heavily. Not the cleverest thing to do on a packed train...

Did he ever payback his friend who gave him a loan for his shtie Film??, After seen his act. No wonder any film distributing company didn't want to take it on

briantwin

Yes i hate B.O.C or whatever his rapper name is. What really annoyed me was the fact it took up half of the back sports page! Just wondering if anyone else say it and was suitable annoyed by it!

Star Lord

Best thing about B.O.C. was in "Max and Paddys Road to Nowhere" where they tipped him over the side of a bridge/wall with a long drop on the other side...

I liked O'Carroll. Mind you it was back when I was about ten and I watched a video that one of my parent's friends left lying around. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard. I can't stand him now.

If you hate him so much, why did you read the damn ad?

There was clearly a picture of him on it, as soon as I saw that, I stopped reading over the shoulder of my Luas-neighbour.

That pretty much sums it up really.

Well done Mossy Monk, that equation should be posted in the Maths forum such is it's undeniable truth.

He should get his japs-eye lasered (spare future generations.)

God I had to endure a boat journey with the man, me and my ex gf coming home from Liverpool, very hungover, not good....

Never heard a man talk bout himself so much!

I'm glad, at times like this, that I'm not a peasant who has to still use boats to travel to far flung places like Liverpool.

Especially if the likes of this so-called comedian is using them also.
