    Anyone who seems to have met him says he's a really nice guy. Maybe a lot of the hatred stems from the legendary Irish talking about people behind their back syndrome. "The homicidal bithchin that goes down in every kitchen"

    Brendan O Connor..., I was trying to figure out was this the guy from the chat show or the guy who produced a sitcom in the 70s that is only getting viewed now.
    I'm still undecided but either way he sucks balls.

    A niteclub bouncer with the ability to read and write.

    His attempts at jokes on the sat night show are cringeworthy, either canned laughter or the audience was paid to laugh.

    You have no sense of humour whatsoever. Maybe toilet humour is your thing? I think Brendan is extremely funny and quick witted. His timing is perfect.

    Actually, you're both correct.

    I inevitably have to switch the channel during O'Connor's 'jokey' introduction, lest the ground should open and swallow me. Canned humour, as whisky_galore says. Should be ditched.

    But his quick, off-the-cuff wit during his interviews is genuinely funny, sometimes controversial, and always a welcome change from overly-prepared exchanges that usually characterise RTE's live programming (e.g. Tubs)
