How Funny is Syphilis/Hector Ó hEochagáin

TAlderson

I see this on his wikipedia:

Shane Hector Ó hEochagáin (Irish pronunciation: [oː hoːxaɡanʲ]) (born 17 August 1969) is an Irish television and radio presenter from Navan in Ireland. He presents Breakfast with Hector on weekday mornings on RTÉ 2fm. He is precisely as funny as syphilisI][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"]citation needed[/URL][/I

How funny is Hector, how funny is syhphilis, and are the two values, as wikipedia contends, "precisely" the same?

Syphilis is very subjective I guess...

I hate that man with a passion.

NIMAN

He just tries too hard.

Syphilis is the only one you can get rid of.

Seriously though, presumably the answer is that both values are (supposed to be) zero.

If the total number of laughs generated by both Hector and Syphilis is not greater than zero, then their value is the same in that regard.

Problems of imprecision arise only with values > 0, I submit.

HTH.

Hector with syphilis. Now that's funny!

The only thing he does is say "how irish is that?" for things like having a cup of tea(which of course nobody but the irish does), or hairdressers having "wacky" names and other such shiite. His obsession with "Irish mammies" is bloody annoying, does he think irish mothers are the only ones who nag and talk nonsense???? I thought this bloke was supposed to be well travelled but he sounds like some dumb cúnt who has never left Ballybúttfúck.

EDIT: Would prefer syphilis myself, far funnier.

Seriously though. F*ck Hector.

He goes on like that lad in school that everyone didn't like, and tried way too hard to be funny, and doesn't succeed.

Hector's not that bad tbh.

Give me Hector over the skinny, personality bypassed cretin that does be in straight after him any day.

Eve_Dublin

I like him.

Rahooo Rahooo Rahooo!

I would consider Hector more like Herpes myself, the thought of it is frightening and you can never get rid of it. That Horse Racing programme he was in was probably the biggest load of manure ever churned out on Irish tv.

part of his appeal is that he is not from Dublin and listeners outside of Dublin sometimes appreciate hearing a non Dublin accent on national radio.
I find him okay.

cos he seems to be more irish and down to earth than Craig 'pretty boy' Doyle.

fishy fishy

he had an interview programme on tv there lately I think with tommy tiernan - where they interviewed various people.

it was the most embarrassing thing on TV - worse than a horror movie.

hes basically a run of the mill loud mark who got in with the "crowd"

Ugh. The stupid country voice, the overreliance on phrases in Irish, the gingerness... listening to him is the equivalent of having sand pouring into your boxers while being forced to do jumping jacks to the sound of some rancid diddly-eye. I feel dirty and embarrassed listen to the uncultured fool.
