Katherine Lynch's Single Ladies

JP Liz

Yes RTE have given her another series and she is back on Tuesday next the 12th of January at 10.50pm

BolBill

Shes as funny as cancer tbf.

Professey Chin

I haz a sad now

Pretty_Pistol

I have to agree with the rest. I find her really irritating. She's like the female version of Pat Shortt.

dlambirl

She THINKS she's the female version of Pat Shortt.

Pat Shortt doesn't use the same characters over and over again, and is, alot of the time, funny. Katherine Lynch is not, she's vulgar and annoying.

amacachi

For ****sake.

GLUEY

Sorry but women comedians are very very rarely funny, and she is no exception. Eww.

Utopia Parkway

As if the January blues weren't bad enough.

THEDONWALDO

she is the most unfunny alleged comedian i have ever seen

FFS!
This is 1970's club 'Did you hear about yer wan?' humour...played out and not, I repeat 'not' funny.
Wasn't Twink getting away with doing this s**t back in the seventies/eighties? And she was as funny as a kick in the balls.

Katherine Lynch got 'An audience with'? These were supposed to be celebrity driven like the Billy Connolly, Rod Stewart ones. How after two runs are you waranted comissioning such a platform to such a nobody?
She is only on air due to being related to and being chums with RTE folk, end of.

I fookin' hate RTE and it's blinkered, 'If me and Ronan dig it, so will the whole country' approach. Or worse, 'Let's give Katherine a show, sure Dymphna finds her hilarious. Jaysus!:eek:

I can't stand her, RTE are scrapping the bottom of the barrel again :rolleyes:

Pat Kenny is more of a comedian than her

Black Magic

We'll have to wait a while until we see Maeve Higgins' Fancy Vittles Series 2 so...

Different names does not a different character make

And he isnt funny at all anymore

Sir Gallagher

The sad thing is there is actually an audience out there for this shite, so i'm not surprised at all she has a new series, its bargain basement stuff for plebbs with terrible taste.

JP Liz

From the advertisement RTE are showing it looks like she tried to bag Ronaldo

Surely even the gormless twats at RTE realise that this is utter trash.. why are they subjecting us to such low brow shit?

I hear this sort of think mentioned in regards to lots of RTÉ stars; Tubridy, McSavage etc. I'd really love someone in the know to draw up a family tree or some spider diagram that shows how all these RTÉ are related. It might explain a lot.

Not that I'm accusing RTÉ of nepotism, it's just that it'd be interesting to see how the various producers and "talents" are connected.

I'm sure they know exactly how bad it is; but as long as it keeps getting decent ratings they'll keep pumping it out, regardless of their personal opinions of its quality.

Killinaskully is ****e but Pat Short has been on the go for the guts of 20 years and had at least 10years at the very top. IMHO you cant compare Lynch and Shortt

Wyndman

The Andrews thing goes further (they're like our talentless Kennedy family) Todd Andrews, Tubridy and McSavage's grandfather was made head of RTE in the sixties after dismantling the railways for a quick buck.

The head of programming is married to Miriam O'Callagahan.

Lucy Kennedy's dad worked for RTE.

Eddie Doyle (Head of Entertainment, who has commissioned nothing but duds and many from his media friends like John Ryan's This is Nightlive abomination) has five family members employed in the All Ireland Talent Show.

Nepotism is rampant in RTE. I know it exists in all organisations to some extent but these people were useless in the first place, their entitled relatives aren't going to be any better.

As you seem to be in the know, who is she related to in RTE?

+1 Pat is likeable and occasionally very funny.

This one (or at least her characters) are brash, annoying and not even remotely funny enough to extract a 20-second clip that would entice you to watch it.

I change channel when herself or McSavage's promos come on, and the "Bad whatever" promos are just as "change-channel, quick, before that ****e comes on" impulse-triggering.

For a country with so much quick wit and craic, I find it astonishing that this ****e passes for comedy.

stevveyg

Cringe, she's so flipping annoying. how can she think her show is watchable let alone funny.

Slideshowbob

i really think shes funny

that was class her acosting Ronaldo!

Black Magic

I don't think that was really Ronaldo.

Mre like this guy!

podge018

Thought that was very funny. Good to see she's dropped the rubbish D4 character, the other 3 are priceless.

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

4Sheets

Well I for think its a great show..very funny indeed...
I dont like kilnascully or I not a cluchie before someone accuses..its the best comedy since IT crowd..
The sketch where she was getting the molehill ladies team to do a nude calendar brilliant..
Apologies If I joined a 'bitch at RTE' Thread..

NormanNicetouch

I enjoyed it. Obviously not one for the comedy snobs or snobs of any kind come to that. A bit of harmless craic.

indeed

too many comedy snobs around

fair play to her for taking the pee out of some untouchable subjects on irish tv

refreshing!

el diablo

wasn't quite as bad as I expected I suppose. She's as mad as a box of frogs.

It reminds me of the Killinascully/Podge & Rodge style of affecting a silly accent and cursing a lot - that's her entire act. And I say "culchie humour" because that fanbase is the only reason for those shows success. I'm not a "comedy snob" by any stretch but I just don't see the appeal there, real lowest common denominator stuff

By the way I like The Inbetweeners, the Office, Daily Show and Mock the Week

Is inverted snobbery the only kind of acceptable snobbery?

You see, it's because of people like you that Brendan O'Carroll still has a career in entertainment

I don't think there's anything untouchable on Irish t.v. these days.

"The best comedy since the IT Crowd" Right......

Another fantastic play by Eddie Doyle putting this idiot back on the TV. I wonder what production company it is? Perhaps the one with four of his family members working there?

thefrench

I thought it was great! plenty of laugh out loud moments.

I thought it was better than new series 'Your Bad Self' on Monday and 'Thats All We Have Time For' last Thursday - but they still needs time to establish their audience.

Anyone know viewing figures for Single Ladies?

Ash.J.Williams

I enjoyed it a lot...very funny, laughed a lot...hopefully it will remain as funny throughout the series,.

RCNPhotos

"That's All We've Got Time For" wouldn't be hard to beat. One of the worst pieces of television I've ever seen.

I don't understand why their rehashing muck like Lynch when they could have some of the biggest new irish comedy talents in the Hardy Bucks on the TV? RTE had them in their grasp and seem to just not care?

podgemonster

Cannot stand the woman, tries to shock people with sexual 'quirkey' references but it wears thin. Characters are voices get me, doesn't really focus on peoples reaction like Naked camera did, she jus shouts at em, laughs, walks away and shouts something back! My mother seems to its funny tho!

No Podge and Rodge bashing, not so great this year but the had a great run a few years ago, their interview with Abi Titmuss was fantastic!

Can't stand her myself but I'm not all down on RTE comedy. Caught bits of that new Bad Self sketch show and liked it.

God RTE are pathetic. They can't even get this seasons kit right!! This one's from a few years ago...When Ronaldo was at United.

Oh and she's absolute garbage.

That was just a photo I got. He was probably wearing the right one on the night!

ianrush

The usual Katherine Lynch garbage. No need for a laugh track as she laughs at her own jokes most of the time. The shame is that very occasionally she can write a good line but she hurls so much other crap at the screen the viewer barely has time to notice (when a comedy show has not one but two musical sequences with characters dancing inanely in front of the camera, you really know it's bad). Here's a challenge to you Katherine, if you ever read this, try writing a character that's not straight out of panto.

NormanNicetouch

I think there's probably quite a big class and rural/urban divide between what people find funny in this country. An awful lot of people from middle class urban backgrounds seem to be unable to relate to the broad, earthy humour of the likes of Katherine Lynch, Brendan O'Carroll, Pat Shortt etc. whereas people from working class and rural backgrounds can't seem to get enough of them. Maybe it was always that way, but I get a feeling the divide is bigger nowadays that it used to be. I thought it was funny anyway.

fcussen

This thread depressingly reflects that there actually is an audience for this ****
