Callan's Kicks

FrancieBrady

Classic line from Alexa to Mary Lou - 'I'll say nawthing'.

Beechwoodspark

He had a good go at SF this eve

Clon63

Didnt think it was the best episode ever but still funny enough.

Yes the Mary Lou sketch was good. Dont know about his politics but think the pro SF allegation is a bit OTT. I am broadly a government supporter but would always expect the government parties to take more stick in programmes like this Labour and Soc Dems got a bit of a going over too.

You don’t follow his Twitter feed so, Clonner?

You don’t notice his column in some rag?

Now he’s cagey enough Clon, so he is, cagey enough, but it’s there Clonner.

If you want to have a look for it .

Being critical of the government or satirising it does not a Shinner Shill make Brendi.

The Shinners got the closing slot on the show yesterday and very funny it was. The slot where comedians and satirists have been depositing their best material for an eternity...'leave 'em laughing', 'save your best to last' etc etc etc

You are being over sensitive as usual.

I enjoy the show, some of it was very good, especially the Luke O’Neill skit

Welsh Megaman

Great NAMA joke to start


Oh wait, it was an actual RTE apology :pac:

Good episode tonight, although I never found the 'Liberal Ladies' sketches funny.

Agree with the Liberal ladies stuff awful.

But his Boris is spot on, Leo, paschal and Micheal Martin, Mary lou and Louise oreilly are all great too.

I actually find the Liberal Ladies sketches hilarious, I suspect it’s a direct result of having a large number of women like this in my life. Send me your pity.

His Louise o Reilly is a hidden gem alright

Nah, wouldn’t agree, tone too high pitched..... off the mark.

Steady drone, don’t pronounce the ‘n,s’ quicken up when there is fear of interruption, and plough on hard if there is,no matter what the opposition.

That’s your man.

SF achieved 2 out of 5 seats in the last election for the first time, equalling FF.
FF/ FG have regularly held 3 seats in that constituency.

I don't think geographical origin is useful information for predicting voting intentions in Ireland.

I think Callan is pretty even-handed in his treatment of the three main parties, to such an extent that his allegiance is hard to pin-down. I wouldn't even be surprised if he is a FG voter. Not that it matters really.

Hope you listened to tonight’s effort Ty...............and re read your post:D

Murphs is from quite near me, pass his house every few days.

Thought it was particularly good tonight. The Varadkar/Murphy stuff was brilliant.

ButtersSuki

His Murphs and Leo are so good. Murphs is more funny than accurate but it works.

No Liberal Ladies

Beechwoodspark

Thought tonight was v good indeed.

His Des Cahill/ Katie Taylor/ Marty Morrissey is very good.

Must say I won't miss "Murphs", or Arlene Foster, in parody or otherwise.

That Sharon Ní Bheolatrán sketch was funny in 2018.

archfi

Really enjoyed it.
Besides the pols, his Des Cahill is annoyingly spot on and his Marty is class

I suspect Murphs will be a recurring character given his alignment to Leo, and his forthcoming "adventures" in the corporate world.

Nah, too much new material sources being provided to him.

Beechwoodspark

Murphs will probably feature by ringing Teesh to give him updates on his “adventures” every few weeks

Actually, now you mention it, this is a nice thing about Oliver Callan: he doesn't go after people unless they deliberately put themselves in the public eye.
Maybe he is just going after the immediately recognizable voices, but still, you'd never hear him lampooning an individual radio caller, for example, or anyone who isn't a national figure. There's a nice guy behind the parody, I'm pretty sure.

I don't think he will continue to go after Eoghan Murphy. Rightly so.

I love the ‘teesh’ and co-teesh stuff, it’s all I think of when I see himself and Mehole on tv

Re Varadkar being mister for Teesh, I think it was Dobbo who did it again the other day

Yes, Dobbo did it again. Heard it and I was surprised nobody noticed at the time, or maybe I wasn't.. :pac:

One of his best yet.

He has done a good job on O'Broin and the Shinners. His Louise O'Reilly is hilarious

I never really got the "cuddly Paschal" sketch, although that bit with Paschal humming the theme-tune during a Morning Ireland interview sent me over the edge.

The Boyd-Barrett impersonation is bang-on but the jokes don't quite land.

His Mary Wilson is great.

Even the Liberal Ladies were funny enough.

Perhaps his best episode this season?
