What's your favourite ridiculous moment on Irish Television?

MacBizzle

Just started thinking about this after Dunphy last night.. I can't post links but remember the guy on The Late Late abusing Pat Kenny a few years ago, the "you piece of shít" fella? I just laugh every time I see that

What's yours?

I know it's not Irish TV, but I used to get early on Saturday morning to watch SM:TV Live in the late 90's, the whole show would have me in stitches and it was SO NOT patronising and would take the piss unremorsely out of the children calling in with retarded answers. You wouldn't get away with it nowadays.

My much older teenage cousins and my parents would even watch it, it was even better than the cartoons they'd intersperse the main show with. Ridiculously entertaining A great, great trio.

(I can't stand Ant and Dec now though)

Much better than the Den.

Highlights include:

"That papergirl is getting tougher, took seven punches to get it off her this time." I'm convinced this show was meant for grown ups yet they somehow managed to market it as a kids' show to earn more money.

I mean what under 8 year old would understand Friends, never mind a parody of it?

Any of Aengus Mac Grianna's stellar performances on the RTE News. If only the mods would let me post a youtube link...

Padraig Flynn's appearance on the Late Late would be right up there aswell.

The King of Moo

Pat Kenny asking a child if he was going to black up because he wanted to go dancing in New York.

Pat Kenny thinking an irate male caller was a woman.

Pat Kenny asking Michael Caine if his father still thought acting was not a good profession, with Caine replying that his father was long dead.

Pat Kenny not knowing who Jerry Seinfeld was and giving him a cheap Superman toy.

Well holy god :eek:

I hope the guy who fell on ice never has to buy a pint again,he's dragged us through some dark times, the fact it's on the news is even better.

Those late night shows on tv3 with their stupid "guess the number", you'd think the presenters would have a bit of respect for themselves.

This for me hasn't been topped. It had it all, a squirming Fianna Fail TD, a squirming Pat Kenny being confronted with the uncomfortable truth, a squirming woman in the chair next to the contributor who in herself is so typical of middle Ireland when someone dares to speak up, the cringe-worthy break the tension joke by Pat to alleviate an audience crippled by the wish to cheer the contributor but just couldn't bring themselves to, but most of all the semi coherent nutter in the pineapple check shirt who makes very valid points only to be shorn by his crippling inner self doubt and borderline psychotic inner monologue.

I'm in stitches at the woman next to him. God love her, she's absolutely mortified.

Possibly the worlds least graceful proposal courtesy of RTE Today Show.Add to this bucket of cringe the fact that after this fiasco they were offered a free night in a five star hotel and dinner there after the show. She was delighted.
He responded with "We can't, my mother's having an engagement party in the house, we have to be there at 6".

Hopefully they're blissfully happy now.

"Get out yer finger" That whole thing was so cringe.

Anytime Louis Walsh gets airtime! He is getting younger and more like peter pan every day!

Well, it could be the night on the Late Late that Gay had to take off his trousers before the producer would agree for the programme to go off the air.

Bur more probably,the night on the show that a stocious Ollie Reed did press ups over a prostate Susan George and er, kept forgetting to press up, He then took off his shirt and proceeded to do a handstand on the back of a kitchen chair.

They had to bring him back the following Saturday to apologise.....

Now THAT was entertainment,

Irish Guitarist

On the Irish version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire the contestant used his 50/50. He still didn't know the answer so he asked the audience. Loads of audience members (something like 20%) voted for the two answers that had been removed. I didn't know it was even possible to vote for an answer that had been removed.

Years ago on the Late Late Show, Ike Turner was being interviewed. He was talking about having sex with a woman in her forties when he was twelve. Pat Kenny said something like "so you were sexually abused?". Ike Turner replied "we just called it fun back then". The audience started laughing and then changed their minds and sounded shocked instead.
