    Whiteboy=Fergus...has to be...I like it.

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    I saw him in the International Bar a while back as well. He is really funny, not try hard at all. He makes a lot of jokes about the Spar ad actually!

    His name is Fred Cooke, he's does comedy gigs about the place. He sometimes co presents the Comedy Mish Mash at the International in Dublin with Andrew Stanley of 'I dare ya' fame. He's pretty funny alright.

    When you say "naturally funny" do you mean "naturally funny looking"?

    Are you serious ? Explain the ads. There short funny clips about the ' Euro crunch offers ' , I get the idea they should have went viral?

    It takes more than a wierd looking head and a "Desperate Housewives" style soundtrack to be considered funny.

    I walked past him on the street. I knew I seen him somewhere before. It wasnt till I got home and seen one of them ads that I realised who he was. I was star struck. He is a big lad in the flesh.

    Fred was my RA in UCD.He was always a really colourful character, and seriously nice bloke.
    He is most certainly acting in those ad's as he was quite a intelligent guy in college. While he always played the joker, there was a hidden depth to him, similar to many comedians.

    Um, I was asking someone to explain why the Spar ads are so deeply unfunny. I don't need help to understand the ads themselves. They ain't arthouse. :pac:

    I always thought they were calling him Varg or Vargus in those ads.

    To sum up the spar ads...
    Spar has stupid, lazy workers and dim-witted managers who can't even see how stupid and lazy their stupid and lazy workers are. :confused:

    He's literally the best impersonator of Michael Jackson I've ever seen. Used to moonwalk all over college. Pretty unreal musician too.
