I know we all have different tastes,but surely to god it can't be just me who thinks he just isn't funny...maybe it is who knows ??

All I'm saying is,if that was the best bits,I'd hate to see the worst bits.

Please RTE,stop inflicting him on us...

Why is it that every time I see a thread like this the reason why the OP "had" to watch the programme they are complaining about is because the OH was in charge of the remote? If its that bad why dont you leave the room and do something else, go on the internet, read a book, call friends/relatives etc. Also am I one of the few people in this country that has more than one TV???? Wouldnt it have been such a simple solution for you OP if you could have just got up, went into a different room and watched something else on TV.

Not a fan myself but were you tied up and forced to watch "clockwork orange" style???
My missus watches Fair City and Eastenders every time they're on,I grab the laptop,grab a book,throw a few darts,strum the guitar etc.etc.etc.

I don't understand people coming on here saying they had to endure whatever on TV.

You'd swear you were expecting it to be high art.

I enjoyed it. I'm a casual fan, never been to a show or watched a DVD (bar his first years ago) but seen a couple of his tv shows. He's spot on on a few things.

He tells jokes. He doesn't curse constantly or scream at his audience or wear a piece of meat on his head as his entire act.

I think he's funny. What more is there to say?

Didn't watch it but saw the ad promoting it every twenty minutes on RTÉ.

And he's still telling that fooking story about the immersion. :rolleyes:

He gave my ex his number on facebook while she was not an ex. Her profile made it very obvious she was in a relationship too. Tosser.

Not funny either.

Not the usual licence fee ****e,I just think he's painfully unfunny,and don't see why RTE give him so much airtime,but that's just my opinion.

And no,I don't have more than one tv in my house,I'm a grumpy oul ****er,and I like a good oul moan,and thanks to bishop,I've enough in my tank for ages !!!

And while we're at it,I'm paying my licence fee for this ****e !!!!:D
