Most embarrasing tv moment voted by you.

For me it was when Sean Gallagher got so badly exposed before the presidential election. Top class tv entertainment, its rare you see something like that on live tv. He was caught rotten but it made me laugh.

When that bloke on telly did that embarrassing thing that made everyone laugh at him

As bad as it was I still didnt feel embarrassed. Its like farting in an old folks home, you dont care because nobody wants to listen (and probably wont believe them) when they complain about the smell.

What did he do? He was ambushed by Sinn Fein, dirty politics typical of the party. Sean Gallagher delivered donations for FF, he did nothing wrong, he broke no law.

The outcome from the whole debacle is that we now have a leprechaun in the Aras who engages in mystic waffle.

Didn't come across like that on tv. All he needed now was a lie detector test.

Seaneh

All he had to do was tell the ****ing truth, instead he got caught in a lie, and it was the RTE production who set him up, not Sinn Fein, Seinn Fein just fecking ran with it.

DEFTLEFTHAND

I don't buy that for a second Seanah, it was an organised ambush. The funny thing is even through that dirty stroke they still couldn't get their man close on election day.

Didn't Gary Lineker do the same on a football pitch in the 1990 world cup?

Do you have any proof of that? I think you will find that Sinn Fein, through MCGuinness's official twitter account dismissed any connection to the account that tweeted RTE and claimed they know nothing of the whole thing and RTE chose to ignore that and carry on with the questions.

The muppet lied and claimed he never collected monies for FF, he claimed he had nothing to do with the political party and was an independent blah blah blah, despite the fact that he cavnassed for them in several areas for several candidates over the guts of 2 decades.

He was a bare faced lying tool and got caught in his own lies, it's better he was found out and dismissed by the public pre-election than sitting in the park sponging off the tax payer for 7 years.

Bill O'Reilly embarrasses himself every time he goes on TV, but this instance probably takes the cake, alright.

Irish people have such tempers. Even a light hearted thread descends in to an argument within seconds lol

Weathering

For me it's the all Ireland talent show,that theme tune before the results CRINGE plus all the cringe acts it was like a circus 10years after a chemical weapons attack

Karen23

Judy Finnegan collecting an award on live tv and being totally unaware that the top of her dress had come down and her bra was showing.

Don't know if that was more embarrassing or the fact she was wearing a white bra under a black dress.

I believe they made it happen we don't need to pretend to be blind here, come on man you know they work.

I criticised him at the time for breaking ranks with the party, I suppose FF were dirt in the public eyes and he felt he'd a better chance standing as an Independent. I didn't agree with that, you stay with you own through thick and thin.

However taking into consideration the other candidates I was willing to put that aside. I thought he would have made a good President, I felt his youth(40s in political terms) and wife would have presented a good forward image of Ireland.

Aengus Mac Grianna and his many embarrassing moments.

Ah, I see, you're an FF supporter, that explains it so.

All logic out the ****ing window anyway.

I believe Pat went on longer than this clip shows, but what's there should give you a feel for it. Gird yourself, you may accidentally clench yourself inside out.

Let's not derail the thread any further, it was my fault for jumping on the OP. We've different political views, we can agree on that, there's no point in getting into a prolonged heated political argument.

- Tallafornia was pretty cringy

- Feirm factor
- That RTE comedy clip show with the guy with the stupid beard thing and the hot skanger girl Republic of telly maybe
- Tubs Late late show
- Guy falling on ice, absolute classic

RTE.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

The legend that is Jerry Seinfeld gracing the Late Late Toy Show with an appearance and Pat gets his name wrong and basically has no idea who he is. Pat treats him like he's another Xfactor winner doing the Xmas publicity circuit.

One of those rare moments you're embarrassed to be Irish.

I cringed so hard when Michelle Heaton fell or tripped during the car selling task in the Apprentice. Just sooo bad in front of the room full of people. Poor girl!

The Angelus

Republic of Telly

Irish football ''fans'' booing an LOI side playing Manchester United in a friendly match at the opening of the new Lansdowne Road a few years back,on RTE2.

Anything involving Daithi O Se or that ginger prune faced bitch!

DEFTLEFTHAND

Carol Coleman interviewing George W Bush is one I can think of. Talk about a massacre, the poor girl, maybe he wasn't as stupid as she thought he would be.

Bush is a political animal even with connections you don't become president of the USA if your're a total fcuking idiot. Daddy doesn't buy an undergrad from Yale and a Masters from Harvard. Bush has both and he is nowhere near as dumb as people think he is.

That 'House of Love' show that ran on RTE a few years back - where different couples competed to win a house in Mullingar. I don't think Sean Moncrieff's TV career has ever recovered. The whole thing was a cringe-fest from start to finish.

Or... the reality show that took place on a boat sailing around Ireland and had to be wound up early because the boat sank.

Enjoy the backlash and being mocked for your opinion

DEFTLEFTHAND

Why should I be mocked for expressing an opinion Wompa? Why not open your mind a little and research, don't listen to everything secondhand. Don't ever be a sheep.

God forgive me but I laughed til I cried at this, and then rewound it and laughed some more. It's so goddamn funny.

I'm a bad person :pac:

Donations? Yea!:rolleyes: He was the bag man for bribes. Eventhough FF had it wrapped up to be perfectly legal, its still 100% morally wrong and Gallagher knew it. Then he lied about it, cant blame him for that though, its bred into FF'ers.

Most embarrassing moment on tele? Anything Conor Hunt, or should I say Cunur Hnt, says. Where do RTE keep hiring all these people with quasi-english accents from????

This is not a political thread so leave the agendas right there.

A Kerry Katona moment,

that was the first and last show ever, I wonder why!! :rolleyes:

Pompey Magnus

Mary McAleese wowing when the British Queen read off a few words in Irish was pretty cringe worthy.

Raiser

Anything involving Ryan Tubridy and a lens.........

& OT but still a big FF story - Gallagher was an ar$ehole - Hope he never reappears - lucky miss for the Nation for sure....

Pumpkinseeds

Anything to do with Twink. Why oh why do they insist on dragging her sorry ass on to so many tv shows? I cringe every time I see her emerge on the late late. She's like car crash tv, you don't want to look at her but you know that at some point she's going to make a show of herself with her vulgar mouth. Cringing and shuddering just thinking of her.

the purple tin

Pat Kenny interviewing a giant bee.

I can't make out from all the talking-over-his-guest that O'Reilly is doing, but is the embarassing thing that it was actually the Americans, with Bush Sr. as Director of the CIA, who trained the Mujahideen and thus are responsible indirectly for killing his father?

finished in the play off spots in both last two qualifying groups, part of the last euro championships, only qualifying defeats in 6 years have been against 3 of the top teams in the world and unbeaten in away games in 6 years.

if thats an embarassing record, then youve got to start watching more tv.
