Richard Dower

:mad: dare he is, in all his smug glory, on me telly box....what makes him such a smug git?

Jesus Wept

Haven't noticed. Seems alright to me.

Have you tried adjusting your set?

Richard Dower

There is no `De-Smug` option on my tv!

Jaysus 9 minutes in! Tubs just can't catch a break around here.

For years I have struggled with the reason for his smugness :mad:

Otis Driftwood

Id be fairly certain its the obscene amount of money he earns for being a smug git.

Its a vicious circle.

No, but he's a well known FF-er. His brother Garrett ran for local council and didnt get in.

Richard Dower

Well i guess she's interested in him in more then his looks...........................................€

he is a bit of a smug git . . . gets annoying, but we're stuck with him for at least 10 years . . .

WE should have elections to decide who runs to host the lls for 5 year terms . . .more people would vote than in a real general election!!!

Well it would take something of biblical proportions to get a Fianna Fáiler like him fired from RTE.... BUT.. we've already had a meteorite and a flood this year, so here's hoping.

Don't forget the networking opportunites! This week on The All Ireland Who Do You Think You Are Celebrity Banisteoir...

ArtSmart

I'd like to think its because he's so nervous, but i'm not sure.
Well i hope he improves within the next twenty years , when the LLS will be the highlight of my week:D

Because he is wearing a very expensive watch even if it is not Rolex.

its in his blood , his uncle ( politician ) david andrews was a very elitist ( although mainly decent ) and smug individual

Liam Byrne

Do what I did when I saw him use the TV license for a party political PR stunt .... switch off.

Low enough ratings and he won't be so feckin' smug.

Luis21

His smugness may have to do with the fact he's earning huge wedge and has Aoibhinn Ni shiulle (whatever) as a girfriend !

iguana

If you were a talentless, lanky streak of píss who's political affiliations had earned you one of the best jobs in the country and the adoration of half a million grannies you'd be smug too.

Shea O'Meara

Because he's a dick.

Tubridy is such a dork. Look at him trying to "improv" with Shatner @ 1:00 into this clip - it's cringeworthy.

20 years of effortless success does that to one.

Sir Gallagher

I hate most things and people yet i don't hate Ryan Tubridy, there's something wrong with me I think.

Shea O'Meara

The man has a top job for life, regardless of how bland or ungifted he may be.

I'm reminded of the most hillarious RTE presenter argument somebody made to me once, stating that Gerry Ryan, Tubbs and Co. deserved every penny they got because otherwise they'd be poached by the BBC or Channel 4 and then where would we be? Talk about off your nut.

I've never understood this logic. I can (just about) see a case for having to pay their presenters enough so that they won't go to TV3 or a rival radio station in Ireland, but where the hell do they get the idea that the BBC are hovering in the wings just dying to snap up Gerry Ryan to replace Jonathon Ross, or eyeing up Tubridy for a Graham Nortonesque Friday night chat show?

I mean, effectively, any Irish TV presenter that's been good enough has gone to England of their own accord!

Plus, if the Beeb thought any of them were worth hiring, they could easily pay significantly more than RTE.

Forget the BBC...is any Irish presenter good enough for hosting on Playboy!!!! (think about it)
