Dave McSavage beaten up?

6th · 24-09-2008 2:08pm

Its one of the few things that makes me think "Hey, Degsy aint that bad".

tba · 24-09-2008 2:08pm

I think we should all share our savage moments, like that time knackers stole his stuff and he chased them with a guitar.

Also, why do people stop to look at his acts?, I have never heard anybody speak well of his comedy.

But it wouldn't have been a joke.

It would of been abuse... possibly of a racist nature (As he is known to do that) thrown at a some guys wife.

Yeah, I'm sure it would've been abusive, as is his humour. And no, I'm not in any way surprised about it at all, I'm more shocked that it hasn't happened sooner, and more often.

I would imagine the same reason people stop to look at a car crash.

I saw McSavage at a comedy club and an audience member calmbered up onto stage ond tried to box him. Yes McSavage had ripped into him, but the guy was heckling all the comedians that night.
I guess there are a lot of people out there who want to be that guy who punched McSavage.

Isn't that the name of his book ??

I never understand why people hate Dave McSavage.

Haven't seen him in town in ages, but always thought he was a good laugh....

People don't.

I (and I'm sure most other people) stopped to look at his act insofar as the prick pointed me out of a crowd and tried to call me over.

Delighted for him. Painfully annoying and completely unfunny. If you pay into his "show" fair enough but don't be hassling people on the street.

This is him.
One of my own little montages on the twat.
He ran scampering into the shop terrified a moment later. I followed but got kicked out. Then the assistant realised who he was and kicked him out too.

Ah that's brilliant!

Hope he was battered rightly. Might learn the argumentative cnut.

Still he'll be hogging airtime now with his snivelling recriminations.

I know this is Dave McSavage who's gotten a slap so it was hardly unprovoked, but I'm not one to go cheering at someone else's misfortune. If someone attacks another person over a joke (however unfunny), they're a bit of a scumbag. I wouldn't cheer for that.

I would like to make it clear, I do not in any way condone Dave McSavage, his act, or his sense of humour.

The fact that Dave McSavage was the biggest arse hole justifies the scumbaggery.

When I was about 16 me and my mates watched his show and he was slagging us, so we left. We came back with a bag of maggots that we got from a fishing shop and fecked it him. It smashed open upon impact on his guitar and the maggots went everywhere. He had to stop the show he was doing and move away. Looking back on it, there was a period where I thought what I had done was rather scumbagish, how ever, further reflecting upon my actions that day, I'm glad we did that.

He's a stupid bollox.

Hopefully the chances of MRSA setting in will be high when he's in A&E.

humberklog · 24-09-2008 3:30pm

It's a fine line between Scumbaggery and Chivalrey. And in this instance it was well worth crossing.
If MacS kids were with him the attacker should have asked him was he a kiddyfiddler while he was laying a few slaps down. As these words have been used by MacS against unsuspecting passing public that have their kids with him when they've passed by his "act".

As was already mentioned I'm surprised it hasn't more often then this. But anyway good to see it.

VERYinterested · 24-09-2008 3:51pm

According to the Sun today, he said as the couple were passing: "You're sooo beautiful" and then "Your girlfriend is good looking too" Our friend then threw his toolbox at McSavage and threatened to 'get him' when there wouldn't be a mob to protect the 'funny' man. I've seen his act a few times on Grafton St and was glad I wasn't picked out for any treatment. Another day I was on the Luas and he was filming something for his DVD and he was being a smart ass towards some elderly people that hadn't a clue who he was. Luckily it was my stop before he worked his way up the tram. I remember thinking to myself, some day, someone is going to deck him.

If that's all that he said then tbh your man must have been an utter scummer to attack over such a harmless comment.

Dragan · 24-09-2008 4:01pm

I have passed him once or twice, each time i go right to the front of the crowd and just look at him, waiting for him to have a pop.

He never does though.

He was acting for the people of the country. As such, he deserves a medal.

Maggots all over his creepy head and smarmy guitar - Genius!!

I know it's AH, but I'm genuinely stunned at the general consensus that a guy getting beaten up in front of a crowd of people in the middle of the day is in any way condonable
I'm sorry, but I can deal with Dave McSavage (and yeah - I agree he's sh!te), a lot more than these fcucking ar$eholes who go around throwing fists at anyone who looks sideways at them.
I've had my nose broken in a bar for not letting someone have a chair (my mate was at the bar). Casual violence is waaay too common in this country, for me too cheer on some absolute knacker whose precious sensibilities were offended by a lanky guy with glasses.
And half of you on here would be the first to comment on how the level of violence in this country is spiraling out of control. Tut tut folks,

What a pure scumbag. Plain and simple.

All the more reason for Dave 'Not ****ing funny' McSavage to be a bit more careful about who he stands around insulting.

Seriously, if I stood around Grafton St roaring abuse at people, I'd expect a few slaps.

I don't. Its called self preservation.

Dear Friends,
Dave Mc Savage is a truly talented comiedian whos knowledge of irish humour knows no bounds, The way he makes foreign tourists feel so small and inadequate about themselves and the way irish humour is presented by him, is a trait to envious off. If there is a funnier person in Ireland.. The I would Like to meet them because....
(wobble wobble wobble(LoanShark shakes his head))

Sorry about that I think I just got a touch of
ima€untitiousandithinkeveryonelovemyhumour.. I think Dave mc Savage has the same condition.. But his is permanent:eek:

To be honest its about time someone battered the fun loving snot outta him..

Yes it does. There's definitely a scale of whats acceptable to me.

You refusing me a seat I've no problem with. Some bloke saying my wife is "good looking" I've no real problem with. Some bloke calling her a fat **** (which she's not, in case she reads this) or telling her he'd rape her (which he's done to others) would probably get a reaction from me.

Bottom line for me is that if McSavage wasn't a total and utter twat looking to get reactions, he wouldn't have received the punch. Is voilence the way to deal with his scumbaggery? Probably not. Is there anybody to blame for this bar McSavage? No...

Dave McSavage beaten up?
