    Is he the brother of David the tractor manufacturer?

    Was great back in the day, kinda went off the boil recently but his last DVD was very funny!

    Nope. Granduncle.

    he's like the grumpy man in every pub in the land that you laugh at but are slightly uneasy around


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    Old fashioned bigot I never found funny.

    Whereas Michael McIntyre for example can be fcukin hilarious without offending anyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭The Orb


    Toilet humour that appeals to simpletons who read the Daily Sport to keep up with what's happening. The fact that he is popular should serve as a warning that there are many worryingly dumb-as-sh1t people in the world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    He was no more a bigot than Al Murray is. It's a persona, just like Murray's Pub Landlord one. It actually takes the piss of xenophobes and racists as much as it does of fordiners etc... just a lot more subtly.

    Aren't you thinking of Warren Mitchell/Alf Garnet? Roy Chubby Brown is nothing like that. He's a grade A creep in interviews, every bit as nasty as his stage persona.

    And America's answer Andrew Dice Clay.

    IIRC he was caught out on camera making racist remarks while not in character.

    Shit.. yes! :o

    Come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen the Roy fella on TV or interviewed. Don't know why I mistook the two =/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,440 ✭✭✭Stavros Murphy


    He's very British, mainly the shyte parts I don't like. The non-Chubby Brown bits of Britain I like well enough.

    How can anyone not find this funny

    What's funny is, in his early days his material was actually well regarded and a lot more clever. But he changed his act to what it's like today and found it sold. In a way, that makes him worse than the likes who don't know better; it appears he does but the act is put on because it makes him quite a lot of money.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    He's as funny as that Australian that sings the stupid songs.

    Chubby will you sign my wife's cast she broke her leg will do as he bends down he looks up he skirt by the way theres a nasty crack at the top of plaster

    Yeah I never really got the appeal of Dice Clay, I like blue and edgy comedy but his stuff imo is all shock and no wit. He'd huge success though, the only comic in history to sellout Madison Square Garden. Did it two nights running to boot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,440 ✭✭✭Stavros Murphy


    I'd say he cares what people think -he's making them laugh - all the way to the bank. Personally, I can take or leave him. I can't get past the idea that he's just schlocking out a schtick to make a buck.

    What's up with the suit? How racist can he genuinely be when he decides to dress up like a load of passports and a flight helmet? :pac:

    I never ever ever thought I would see Conall Gallen compared to Roy Chubby Brown. Ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,530 ✭✭✭Duck's hoop


    Remember him from years ago. But to refresh my memory just watched a couple of youtube bits.

    There's just no getting away from the fact he's a racist in the truest sense of the word. It's what he's about. His raison d'être.

    Whether you agree with him or not that's a different argument. But the racist thing is cut and dry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    Dont think
    In this day and age he would be allowed to be racist on screen

    Dice Clay is totally different

    They're both arseholes.

    Since when did mincing back and forth across the stage yammering in a snotty accent at 100 mph like a friggin' Etonian homosexual on cheap speed become funny?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,887 ✭✭✭Mariasofia


    I'm not a prude bit if you have to rely on that level of vulgarity in an attempt to be funny..... Don't bother!!
    Thinking in particular of "I'd use her s..t for toothpaste..." Nah doesn't do it for me!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    MM is he even a comedian. Never found him funny and so do a lot of my friends

    The Missus reckons he's hilarious too, she's got much more brains than me, so maybe he is. She's white and fit though..

    vile he ( chubby brown ) is but to compare him to Michael mc intyre is a little cruel to the rotund Yorkshire man

    It's toilet humour, definitely, but the audacity of him is hilarious. Good in small doses. Can't be taking ourselves too seriously now.

    Nah, it's knuckle dragging, spittle spraying racism. How the fùck is that good in small doses?

    I'm a bit surprised some of it is even legal tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale


    I find some of the sexism stuff funny and I'd be fairly feminist leaning when it comes to some issues. It's not the jokes themselves, it's, as said, his sheer audacity. You know the way when someone old says something vulgar - the fact that they said it at all is what's hilarious.

    do you think he should be banned from performing his act ?

    Roy Chubby Brown

    "Brush my teeth with her pubic hair"
    Yeah.....hilarious




    Ok.....I laughed a bit!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    If you go to a comedy show you should have a fair idea what you're getting before you go.

    Roy Chubby Brown reputation precedes him and those who don't want to be offended by a comedian should know better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,676 ✭✭✭AllGunsBlazing


    Laughter is a reflex action. I remember listening to an old Mike Reid tape and being a little annoyed with myself for laughing at one of the Irish man jokes that made up his routine. But in that split second I did find it funny.

    Even your man from Phoenix Nights does a Pakistani shop keeper bit during his stand up that's a bit dodgy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,530 ✭✭✭Duck's hoop

    Not at all.

    But I'm pretty sure he needs legal advice on his act as it sails very close to the wind with regard to incitement to hatred from the little I've watched.

    I'm not offended by it either. But I can certainly see why millions of people would be. He is after all denigrating all non white people in the basest of terms and with a total lack of irony in his own ignorance.

    He lumps Indians and Pakistanis in the same pile. All the one to him shur.

    He's actually gas. Stinking rotten odious little fùcker!

    people were hating on each other long before chubby brown waddled on to a stage in some part of northern England and will be long after the fat git has croaked

    this business of the state trying to perfect a population wont work

    ps , I don't like the geezer
