    Without going on a mass killing spree what is the best way for someone who doesnt have any stand-out talents to gain fame. I'm not talking about being famous world-wide, just for example, the level of fame that Breffny now has in this country!!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Someone with no talent? Collapse the financial system. Oh, too late. :(
    How about collapsing the private sector?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    Brefney is a guy from this seasons apprentice. He was fired last night.

    He's popular because he's alright looking and is a bit of a charming dope.

    Go on X Factor and do the same thing as Jedward

    They have zero talent and everyone knows about them

    Obviously being famous in Ireland is like not being famous at all.:eek:

    Step 1. Spunk into hand.

    Step 2. Run hand through hair in an upwards motion.

    Step 3. Practice speaking in fake American accent.

    Step 4. Enter X factor.

    That was gonna be my suggestion too.
    Everyone knew that guy within a few days.

    Sorry, still don't know who this Breffni character is...not that I give a f*ck...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,535 ✭✭✭Radharc na Sleibhte


    what is the best way for someone who doesnt have any stand-out talents to gain fame

    Shout at Pat Kenny.
    Doesn't matter if you're evidently a nut bag wearing an Hawaiian shirt in winter in Ireland.
    Notorious fame awaits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,560 ✭✭✭DublinWriter


    Stand around the top of Grafton St and Temple Bar shouting at people.

    RTE will give you your own show eventually.

    Subo?

    it was created and used by people clearly too lazy to say their real names. those last three syllabels are always the hardest :D*

    1) Become one of these so called "models".
    2) Suck off some semi known socialite ballbag.
    3) Pose in the middle of the street in your underwear.
    4) Break up with said ballbag on radio or TV cos of row about posing in the street in your pants.
    5) Tell everyone that you DONT do drugs.
    6) OD of a drug overdose at a cocaine party!

    Simple!

    dye your hair blonde
    use the Irish version of your name, but string it out a bit so no one, even fluent Irish speakers can't pronounce it
    hang out in the "Right" clubs
    get a job on RTE

    Oh yeah, have a very rich Daddy, preferably one who is a Fianna fail TD.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,315 ✭✭✭Jazzy


    Breffny

    and in answer to your question, go work for RTE and lick arseholes like there is no tomorow. supply some of the brass with cocaine and before you know it they will magic you up into a celebrity

    seems every year around this time to work like a charm, of course come the end of x factor nobody will remember you


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,163 ✭✭✭✭Liam Byrne


    Apparently TV3 run a show called "I'm a celebrity...." and even though no-one in it actually is one, they get known that way.....at least to brain-dead tabloid-reading plebs who like to watch "reality" that involves people sticking their heads into buckets of - unfortunately DNA-adjusted-so-they've-no-poison - tarantulas...

    You could try that.

    See how many forums you can get banned for using unique reasons for each forum.
    Then you will be famous.

    Almost fooled me with your false advertising!
    It's clearly 2 mins 28 seconds, I can't commit to that.
