    That's a ridiculous statement. Klitchko would absolutely batter her head in.

    Was expecting at least an opinion on her work and why you don't enjoy it. Nice to see you just resorting to insulting the woman's appearance instead.

    Classy criticism.

    Much better than that Mario show (which is really not any good). Kids sketch, walk along border, civil servants, gaybo with adams and Gilmore all good. Expose, which they did before also shows the massive dumbing down of our media/popular culture, and the himself/yer man is very enjoyable.

    The not finding her funny thing is perfectly fine. The stupid comments about her facial features are petty and totally pointless really and only go to undermine any other points you're making by showing that you're the sort of person who immediately jumps on someone's appearance rather than having something intelligent to say.

    Sad that as usual, a female comic's criticised for her appearance, not her actual ability / talent. Male comics almost never receive those kind of insults, but misogyny dictates a female comic's only good for lookin' at.

    Ok i was a bit harsh criticising her looks, but the truth is she has no ability or talent the expose sketch was brutal i dont think there was one funny bit in it :confused:

    It is correct to say that being amused by something is a personal thing and my criticisms of this show reflect just my own opinion but this opinion is formed by watching hundreds of similar types of television sketch shows and other comedy across all the channels over many years.

    The Savage Eye - now that was funny! And I understand there is a new series of it coming.



    Update: The new series of the Savage Eye has already started.
    I caught up with it on RTE Player. I found myself helplessly shaking with laughter several times.
    It puts Irish Pictorial Weekly in perspective (poor perspective).

    Just watching last week's episode. Not as good as the first episode but very good. Really enjoying it.

    "Legislate for the X-Factor" was extremely well delivered.

    The reason I said i liked her was I saw her as a support act on three occasions and just about every other time the support act was Jarlath O regan, who is a pain in the hole.

    I saw the first one last night. Very good I thought. A bit animation would be good, you don't always need actors.
