Tommy and Hector on 2FM

RCNPhotos

Listenin to it now on the 2FM site, loving it. Good tunes and funny as f**k (to me anyway).

What does everyone else think? Not totally sure if their humor suits such an early slot but they defo don't offend me (unlike Gerry Ryan who just creeps me out)

iamhunted

they dont offend me - they just bore me. Reminds me of the standard Irish comedian who thinks speaking in a country accent is actually funny in itself.

niceirishfella

+1 on Boring.
Shyte talk for 2 hours.
Geratric Juvenila is what I'd call it, 2 fools trying to sound funny and cool and get down with the people. SAD.

Hector is great. Tommy is mental (And not in a good way).

icanhearjimi

Two Gobshítes, trying way too hard to be funny, and failing miserably

No, i agree!I think the show is good..:D
I used to listen to them all the time on I radio, good to see them back on radio...good craic and nothing too serious.

i only heard them for the first time saturday and i liked the show alot. cant usually stand tiernan as a comedian on his own but i think they work well tgether

Degsy

Tripe.

Samba

I heard the advert for the show, which must have been a highlight, can't imagine how bad the rest of the show is tbh.

Fulton Crown

Like a badly produced amateur production from the arsehole of Meath.

Fit for National Radio...noooo !

run_Forrest_run

terrible drivel, Tommy's live scene must be drying up if he's doing this sh*te. Between them and Colm & JimJim they can just douse 2fm with petrol, I have the match.

About time..why anybody would want to see a ****wit in a dirty hat and beard shouting and roaring is beyond me.

tipperaryboy

Cant stand either of them how do they get on national radio talking utter crap

donaghs

Really bad. A lot of it is just shouting and noise. Very self-congratulatory too. Reminds me of seeing Tommy Tiernan's decline during "Bovinity". Shouting in what's supposed to be a Chinese accent for 5 minutes doesn't get many laughs.

"Two lads havin' the craic"

If you say so lads....

Fulton Crown

I don't think we need worry about these two Gimps for much longer !

Thank Fcuk fer that .

Loud shouters with minimal talent...got by during the Celtic Tiger years but found out by the recession.

They have been rumbled.....thank the lord fer that.

Now lads...away to fcuk....an close the door arter ye !

The show with Pat Shortt standing in for Tommy was pretty good on Sat

Excellent use of the paradox.

Caught a bit of it and its not bad but still a bit too much of the "Cute Hoors from the country" vibe about it.

orourkeda

Pure scutter radio by two reprobates.

Imhof Tank

They may not be as funny as they think they are - but they are way superior to for example Colm and Jim Jim, and less depressing than the mid atlantic dj type - Tony Fenton, Rick O'Shea etc.

Also, caught the first 15 mins of Gerry Ryan show today with Hector standing in and he was a definite improvement

JonathanAnon

Heard a repeat of it yesterday, just a load of roaring at the radio...

Stacks Mad

Over used material ,were funny in there day! Five years on same old thing, just like pat shortt and I used to love them all.

MidlandsM

I was on a long journey and listened in for 15 mins to see whats it all about, Really unfunny radio - it did'nt even make me grin in the slightest.

I cant imagine how people could listen to it for long periods of time. It's a lot like that TV show that they had at the christmas... Trying really hard to be funny, lots of shouting, lots of in-jokes and calling lads by their nicknames (cos that's hilarious)..

bubbaloo

Jaysus I can't stand them. I was beginning to think I was the only one. There is a whole facebook page dedicated to "how brilliant they are". I just cannot understand how RTE can put that crap on the radio.

NabyLadistheman

With some of the crap that's on the radio already I don't see the problem. Obviously not everyone's cup of tea but alot of people think it's great - myself included!

This statement is all mixed up. Yes, the radio is full of crap right now, and those 2 tool add more? Like its needed?:rolleyes:

From Tiernana fans I can imagine it actually does. He has been sh1te for years but can still provoke rib cracking laughter from his deluded fans by shouting "priests are ****" for ten minutes.

aido79

I've only listened to a few minutes of it here and there because I'm in Australia and it didn't seem that bad to me. Not everyone has the same sense of humor so just wondering which comedians people actually find funny?

I recommend a guy called Brian Cowen, he looks hilarious and every time he talks I laugh

Two fúcking gobshíts from Naaaaavan. Tommy is not too bad, but Hector.......my god, he should go back to Naaaaaavan and shovel shít out of stables. No one wants to hear this clown going on about "haaawrse racing lads" "ginjar hayar", and made up stupid stories. Its Pathetic.
And, yes we know you can speak Irish, Hector O Hockagawn. Why not just use Hogan, you plank.

Would you insist that Siún nicGearailt or Sharon ní Bheóláin use the English version of their names?

How about Jessica de Búrca? Should she be Jess Burke? Should Daithí Ó Sé be Dave O'Shea?

No. Hector Ó hEochagáin (you could at least spell it right) CHOOSES to use the Irish form of his name and that's up to him. Why does he do it? Because he's Irish? Because he's proud of that fact and proud that the can speak Irish? Because he's a recognised spokesman for the language? Probably all of the above. Whatever the answer, who are you or I to tell someone how they should name themselves!?

Surely then he should be using the name Seán Ó hEochagáin? Because his Christian name is Shane. And not Hector.

Used to be a fan of Tommy way back in his comedy club days in Galway, but don't think he's funny in the slightest now.

That Shane lad is just an annoying twat, and as for their show ... jesus I've listened twice and it's painful stuff.

cc

1. "Isn't it great to be Irish?"
2. "Seanie has texted in to say the show is great and wishes he handn't bothered emigrating after all"
3. "Lets mention some towns from the midlands"
4. "Do you remember the 80s?"

This was ok once, but every week....oi

Didn't he write his autobiography in English?!

When did they leave iradio?

Or was there a reason to why they left?

I looked at iradio website - i102105 and they seemed to have let Louise McSharry go also.

Their contract ran out and wasn't renewed.

And that has what relevance to a discussion about his radio programme?

I listen to the podcast at work, so it helps stave off boredom, and i find it reasonably funny. A bit hit and miss, but you have to give them full marks for effort. Don't think I would bother listening to it live for two hours though.

seachto7

not a bad show even though I'm not a fan of Tiernan's standup anymore. He kind of has to watch himself on radio maybe, so can be funny instead of just vulgar. I think Hector is ok too, is a straight talking kind of guy.
They do kind of play up the "rural man" thing a bit. I listen to the poscasts at work, good way to pass an hour or so..

Cool Running

Havent heard this in weeks as was working. Back listening to it now, quality as ever

Is the show finished now?! I hope they're just taking a break for a while, its too good a show to stop making!

It was but the end had a sense of farewell to it. Hopefully it was just the end of that show and it's stayin on!
