KiddieKrippler

I agree that he has been living off the same joke for a long time, and I do continue to wonder what he's going to do different, but I think he's hilarious, and I loved his work experience project.

My OH forced me to go and see him. He was a painfully unfunny c*nt.

Thankfully there was a bar in the venue.

Biggins

Yep, he boring.

Volvoboy

Meh, if i was given a DVD of that knob i'd throw it at somone i detest.

Shacklebolt

Finally others who feel the same as me.... I feel so accepted amongst you all

A toast to the death/retirement of our foe Des Bishop and the rise to power of funny comedians.

Unbearable.

He's one of the few people in this world, apart from Ronan Keating, who I'd love to kick up into the bollox.

I absolutely fvcking detest him.

Shit bag of the highest order.

Ooo... that's you off his next Christmas card list!
(I'm sure your worried)

Welcome to the club here.

Ostrom

I like him, if only for his portrayal of racist scumbag Waterford nightlife

Earthhorse

Despite what other people have said in this thread I'm going to go against the grain and say yes, you are the only one to ever think that.

Kold

I don't find him funny but I find it easy as hell to not give a sh*t as I don't watch RTE.

dlofnep

I think he's harmless. Saw his standup show in Waterford, got a few chuckles out of him anyways.

Hmm... Maybe people dislike because he DOES point out traits and insecurities that Irish people try to ignore or pretend don't exist??

And he does do different things, and method comedy (if that term exists): Work experience in those low paid jobs, going to all those "disadvantaged" areas to get to know and work with the people that live there, moving to the Gaeltacht and learning to speak Irish.

I think he has a right to say what he wants and is probably one of the few comedians that actually KNOWS what he's talking about because he experienced it.

Or I guess he could just stand on stage airing his views on politics or black culture.. no comedian has EVER done that. :rolleyes:

Going to go with Occam's Razor here and say that he's just not funny.

Nope, he just bores me to death.

Yes, I understand:)
He sucks, along with that other twat Tiernan.

DonkeyStyle \o/

I don't find his stuff funny, but I'm sure he's a perfectly nice man.

LeoGilly

He's not as bad as Jason Byrne! Would love to kick him in the face!

Hank Scorpio

terrible terrible "comedian"

edit: Yes Jason Bourne or w/e his name is an infuriating uneducated douchebag

JerryHandbag

Gotta say I really enjoyed his work experience show a few years back, but as a comedian....is he funny? Methinks no

Actually, you are right. The Jason Byrne dvd called "out of the box live" is possibly the worst comedy dvd I have EVER seen.
I still don't like Bishops work though:pac:

Fizman

He is about as entertaining as getting your mickey caught in a car door. And being driven off.
