Larry Gogan - Just a Minute Quiz

alan4cult

Anybody hear the guy who took the piss on Larry Gogan's Just a Minute Quiz today?

He just said next question for every question and when asked a true or false question, he asked was there a third option!

Very Funny, not sure what time it was at.

Anyone else hear it?

ibarelycare

No, but I want to hear it! Not arsed to listen to his whole show though...do you even know what hour it was in?

Fuzzy Clam

Brilliant stuff!!!

Love the bit where he asked could he google the answer.

Go to the 2fm website and the Catch up. 29 mins in.

ibarelycare

I can't find it on the website I went into "Replay" and today's shows but there are only 4 shows available to replay, and Larry's isn't one of them


Edit: Sorry, I got it! I didn't see the "scroll down" bit Brilliant, Larry didn't have a clue how to handle him!

alan4cult

Ok I found it.

Go to Larry Gogan's 2fm replay. The time it starts at is 28:57

Ah, it's always been a comedic goldmine.

Larry: "What's the capital of France?"
Contestant: 'F' !!

Class...very good! Loved the last one, when he asked for a third option with the true or false question.

Another classic

Larry: As happy as...

Contestant: (silence)

Larry: Think of my name.

Contestant: ..a pig in sh1t.

Ah sure, they didn't suit him, as Larry used to say!

I love it more whe a contestant answers "Kildare" to what county is known as "The Kingdom" and Larry says "Sorry, but it was a good guess" ???**!!##??!!
my bollox, wrong is wrong!!

Actually I thought Larry held it together well but at the same time he couldn't wait for the minute to end!

And did the guy actually say "Cock balls! Cock balls! Cock balls! Ha ha ha ha..." before being cut off?!

[EDIT]: Yes, ... yes... I do believe he did.

I would have cut him off after 10 seconds. Fair play to Larry for finishing the minute even though he knew your man was acting the maggot.

FGS, he was only having a laugh! Larry is a terribe presenter IMO. I don't know why he's considered such a "legend." If he has to do anything unscripted it sounds awkward and uncomfortable.

You're right he hasn't uttered an original thought in 50 years. Instead of giving half arsed un-informed opinions or talking about what he had for breakfast (like most of Irelands radio djs) hes just played music without getting in the way. For that he should be rewarded.

He also played a great deal of music that was frowned upon by RTES higher powers back in the day, believe it or not Larry is probably closer to being IReland John Peel than Fanning will ever be.

Larry is one of the few irish DJs that still listens to everything that is sent to him. be it a small Irish band or a big name record company act.

And that my friend is what makes Larry Gogan a legend. and the fact he was doing it 30 years before most other people in this country!!!!

I have always found his shows entertaining and lighthearted fun. The just a minute quiz is legendary too. He has always played good music too and doesn't talk to much between songs.

OK dude...now would be a good time for you to step away from the bong.

Please don't mention Larry Gogan and John Peel in the same sentence.

anyone that say differently hasn't a clue about radio presentation.

My favourite "Just a minute Quiz" episode was (as told to me by a good friend):

Larry: Which star do all travellers follow?

Contestant: Joe Dolan!

Once upon a time there were two DJ's, Larry Gogan and John Peel....

Lighten up. All he said was he's closest to being Ireland's John Peel than Dave Fanning.

I like Larry. Plays music! If I want a political point of view I'll listen to a Matt Hooper.

My bad, the guy who was taking the p!ss by not knowing the answers was a year ago... apparently they had a woefully bad contestant today at about 3.25pm too though.

hadn't heard your link, so it's not all bad

I don't have a chance to listen to the replay at the moment, but Larry ended up saying something along the lines of "Come on man, the clock's ticking!" when the guy stayed silent during the second question. Larry just moved on to the next question.

Lenny Lovett

Another one for the funny answers book just now on the Just a minute quiz:

Larry asks: Can you divide 48 by 16?

Contestant answers: YES!

Cue Larry laughing his arse off!

Excellent REAL entertainment .

todolist

Larry is as Irish as tayto,bad teeth,booze,rain.
This is a classic from his just a minute quiz....
Larry: What 'S' is a person from Liverpool?
Contestant:Scumbag!

tbh

Answer was murray walker -

Who does the commentary for formula 1 on the BBC?
Contestant: ehhhhhh
Larry: I'll give you a clue, his first name sounds Like something you might suck?
Contestant: dickie Davis?

taepot

Chap from Roscommon was on with Larry today, and was not having a great time of it. About half way through Larry asks:
"What would you be doing if you were on the piste?"
A short pause, then, the guys says (in earnest):
"Emm...on the beer?"
A short burst of laughter from Larry, and then onto the next question.

Classic stuff.

Is that true or an urban myth?
