  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭Carroller16


    I also think it's funny. Although it has nothing to do with rte.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,436 ✭✭✭solerina

    Absolutely love it. Hilarious, although he is the spit of one of my mates. So i am just laughing at that. Seriously talented man, love that he sticks with the light humour even though he is clearly a very good actor and excellent musician.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 347 ✭✭irishjay


    hahaha mixed reveiws i still like it .






    pat.:D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭Nozebleed

    Its right up there with those other ' comedy classic' insurance company adverts like 'Go Compare, Go Compare' and the creme de la creme 'Sheilas Wheels'.:rolleyes::rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 462 ✭✭Suspiria79


    Don't know how people find it hilarious? A simple lad doing a bit of a jig and sing song trying to get laughs. It's cringe worthy type stuff. Feel embarrassed when it comes on.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 18,184 ✭✭✭✭Lapin


    I like Pat Short. :)
































    But I hate that bloody ad. :mad:

    Would love to see it-- it sounds hilarious! ;)

    It's culchie humour us dubs just don't "get it" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,291 ✭✭✭Deedsie


    I agree with that, was always said at home. "The Dunbelievables, sure the British and the Dubs dont get it"

    In the same way, I can't understand how anyone could find Brendan O'Carroll funny.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,628 ✭✭✭darkdubh


    Jon Kenny was the funny one.

    I loved Pat Shortt (and John Kenny) when I was about 10, not really since then.

    This ad makes my blood boil!

    I disagree, they are very funny. They are playing to a rural audience. They are loved by most people I know.

    it's fairly easy to understand Joe,
    theres a huge audience out there that find him hilarious,
    I have relations in Clare and Limerick who are like some of his characters
    so even as a Dub i can relate to them,
    But i understand why other Dubs wouldnt "get it"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 932 ✭✭✭Yillan


    Pat Shortt and Jon Kenny had their time in the sun. They were great for what they were. A comedy duo performing live sketches and interacting with audience members, albeit entirely scripted. Then towards the end of their first stint, it went to ****. They started to forget their lines on stage, doing the same show every single run, and laughing their way through the shows at their own jokes.

    It came to an end and now they're back for one last pay off. I don't really begrudge it to them. I thought they were brilliant when I was 12. So many catchphrases that continue to this day. One ah dem...

    No matter what the new show is like though,

    Whats funny is when i was watching that utter sh!te Mrs Browns boys not once did i laugh except when it cut to the ads & this ad came on!!! He can be a very funny man.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 seanoc2011


    yeah i dont find mrs brown funny at all and one of my house mates does... its the same jokes all the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,788 ✭✭✭tvnutz


    Suddenly a load of new posters just for this thread? wft? this ad makes my blood boil,it is so irritating and pathetic. Its a disgrace that money was put into making such a shite ad. Pat Short is not funny. That Killiniskully (sp?) is the biggest pile of wank I have ever seen. Typical of this country to pay gobshites to produce absolute shit!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 seanoc2011


    i think you need to chill mate.

    You don't understand advertising, it is obviously money well spent, there's a thread here about it, some people love it, the more tightly sprung hate it, either way it's being talked about it and is a result for both the advertising agency and the subject of the advertisement.

    It irritates me and I was drunk last night...it's still a rubbish ad though.

    I love pat shortt, he is a very funny comedian and a talented actor, garage was a great film that showed pats "serious" side and other movies like Man about dog show his comedic acting skills

    everyone from the country can relate to his shows and see someone they know in the characters he creates!

    I've seen pats shows a few times and looking forward to seeing himself and jon kenny re-united in April!

    Balls on dem boys like bengali tigers!:D

    To an extent you're right. If I want to hear and observe real people speak and act like Pat Shortt does, I need only travel a few kilometres to the village of New Inn in County Tipperary. Its pubs are filled with such types. In fact, much of South Tipperary to the Limerick border is. My own opinion of that accent is that it is buffoonish and uncultivated. I guess that makes me a snob. So be it.

    I think Pat Shortt is deeply unfunny. To me he's a one-trick pony, lavatorial, devoid of wit, and just someone who successfully mimics the accent and antics of South Tipperary's more rustic inhabitants.

    Spot on Tremelo. I'll never understand how this gombeen is so popular. And D'Unbearables, Ballinaskully and Mattie are all massive piles of crap.

    BTW, where the homour in this ad that some people here speak of? :confused:

    Orange pilled.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,641 ✭✭✭✭Elmo


    I don't think RTÉ have anything to do with this ad. I assume it is running on all channels with Irish advertising.

    You could make the same observation about Brendan O'carroll. I don't find the man funny in the slightest, never have.

    He's basically all about saying 'fcuk' a lot, telling stories about drunken promiscuous women, putting on high pitched 'funny' voices & generally relying on constant sexual innuendo to carry his garbage smut humour. Yet i see a lot of people from dublin think he's brilliant & of course support his latest Mrs browns bullsh!t tv conversion. Im sure his material goes down a treat in various slum pubs in the capitol but everywhere else the majority of people are left bewildered & thinking...is this supposed to be funny???

    It must be a dublin thing.

    Actually, I think Brendan O'Carroll is the Dublin equivalent of Pat Shortt. Can't stand him either! +1 to your post.
