Huey (Fun Loving Criminals) acts up

I Heart Internet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCYgJe9veYA

Huey from Fun Loving Criminals making sure that it's the final time he's asked on to Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

I must say, I didn't see the whole show (and of course much more would have been recorded) but I think he was acting way out of order.

Play the game man!!

Phil Jupitus looks rightly pissed off at the end (Huey tries to kinda make it up to him) before walking off.

What do you think?

EDIT: On mature reflection, we can all have off days, just unfortunate for him, his off day is recorded on tv.

Yeah, I saw it earlier, he just comes across as a complete d1ckhead tbh

Wasn't that fat, old guy smashing the mug well known for something years ago?

Liza & Huey's Pet Nation?

Rekop dog

He's loco.

Gerry91

But like you I didn't see the whole show, so he must have surely been wound up earlier, as it's not even the "scooby snacks" lyrics that originally make him mad, he's completely p1ssed off right from the beginning of the vid

But he's a complete tool here, no doubt about it, and I wouldn't mind I love the FLC, and used to think he was one of the coolest guys on the planet

Augmerson

Hosts are muppets tbh but smashing a glass on national tee vee makes Huey look like a even bigger muppet.

Who the guy who broke the mug or the guy asking the questions?

SEPT 23 1989

that show was great when they had some real music stars as guests

Heard before that he's an angry man.

Didn't he start on Damon Albarn for trying to give him a hug in some nightclub?

Huey Morgan

Thought Jordan (guy asking questions) came across well throughout to be fair

Seaneh

He's an aggressive arsehole at the best of timed anyway.

Billy86

Tuned in literally right as they began that segment - bizarre, really. That could well be the end of him - he's been living on being a 'cool guy' for a long, long time since FLC have only had one semi-relevant song in 15 or so years. His stock has been low for a good while anyway, my guess is apart from a quick question or maybe even chat show appearance off the back of this, we never hear from him again.

He used to drink in Eamonn Dorans back in the day and i found him to be nothing but pleasant everytime he was there.

D-FENS

I really wish Simon Amstell was still the host for that one, but in fairness to young Master Swizzle Sticks, he retorted well.

Never liked the FYC, always nice to see "cool" guys looking and feeling stupid

foxyboxer

He agrees (for a fee no doubt*) to go on a show (which he's been on NINE times before) and which has a reputation for ripping the piss out of the guests and then he decides to throw a hissy fit. Cue people (like me) googling him. All pre-planned no doubt.

Free publicity, yayyyyyyyy!!!

Why because he smashed a mug :pac: FFS he didn't rape anyone.

The Backwards Man

I bet he wouldn't have done that if Mark Lamarr was still hosting.

Didn't he own the pizza place that was next-door-but-basically-in-the-pub?

Seedy Arling

The show finished when Mark Lamarr stopped being on it.

Howard Juneau

He's a pretty decent actor too, probably where he sees his career in the future

Is that the lead singer from the Fine Young Cannibals?!? Put on a bit of weight hasn't he?

Yup, he owns/has a share in DiFontaine's on Parliament Street in Dublin across from the Porterhouse too I believe.

Ha no, but people won't be very interested in having him on their show on the back of this behaviour. Maybe for the next two weeks or so while people are talking about it, but once that is gone hosts and such will sour on him altogether is my guess.

He's not Mark Wahlberg, he doesn't have anything relevant in the last 15 years to bring him back for.

Yeah him and Dermot Doran went in on that, We used to eat all the leftover slices at the end of the night with free pints:D

razorblunt

He lobbed the gob on one of the MTV presenters years ago (in the days where MTV had that black leather chair against the white background), Natalie Cassidy is it?

Don't think she took it too well.

That show stopped being funny a long time ago, didn't realise it was still being made. The hosts, well there so zany, no one knows what initially upset him. I'm sure we've all been in fowlers at the best of times, just not caught on camera.

He's no Preston. He's 'famous' because he was on Big Brother I'll have you all know.

Muise...

Kind of a draw between guest and hosts, I thought. Simon Amstell would have run away in flapping terror, yet somehow skewered him with a backwards glance.

According to someone who was in the studio, he was being a d*ck all night.. But wasn't helped by the lads taking the p*ss all night by delaying everything cos they were messing all night(apparently that's why he was really annoyed)...

FLC played Leopardstown a few years ago.. How the mighty have fallen..

Morgan also went on a mad one at the 2012 Sony Awards when he lost out to Lauren Laverne too: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/may/15/huey-morgan-twitter-rant The drunken tweets made for uncomfortable reading, I'd say it was tense enough in 6music that week.

It would explain it alright in that he seems genuinely cranky right from the beginning of the vid

Look we all have off days but smashing a mug like that is not on in all fairness.

He also had a good ol twitter rant too about fellow radio hosts winning award over him. From last year I think http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/media/news/a381666/huey-morgan-slams-lauren-laverne-fearne-cotton-after-sony-awards.html

How the mighty have fallen as right, they played Oxegen 2011 at half 2 on the friday iirc and there wasn't 100 there

Beat me to it!

Well out of order. Especially from behind a computer screen

To be fair which is why he was put on "celebrity" BB in the first place

Though to be fair not many knew who he was going on

While you could see why he walked out that time, I couldn't help but feeling just grow a sense of humour son

He was part owner of there and voodoo lounge. He's a bit of a self important Dick.

Ah he's lost the plot.. Used to think he was cool and laid back.. But between the Twitter rant and this, he's about as cool as... Well.. He's just not cool..

Side note - I'd love to smash a mug in work on a cranky monday morning.. Just in anger.. While talkng to someone.. ha.. Just for the craic..

As i said i have never had an issue with him and he would have been in there quite a bit back then. He wasn't shy of getting the round in so he was ok in my eyes

He's prob a grand lad to talk to or whatever but prob just a very short fuse!

I dunno, He used to be downstairs in the club and would have people coming up to him all night for pis and stuff and never seen him say no or get pissed off. Maybe he is just angry when sober

caustic 1

Used to be a good show..lost it's appeal when it became more about the presenters rather than music.

Oranage2

The show use to be good with Simon amstel , but since bill and him left it's shocking, people like Noel fielding is everything what's wrong with the show now!
