Annoying voices

Pintman Paddy Losty

Listening to the world cup commentary got me thinking about how annoying some voices can be.


Reason being, I love football but I felt a lot of matches this year were ruined by the irratating, nasaly whingy voice of Brian Kerr. The man has a voice like a graveyard gate slowly being closed. Speaks in a horrific doooblin dialect which makes half of what he says indecipherable. Awful stuff.


Any particular voices or dialects you dislike?

Agree with you on that one. A very annoying man. How someone so irritating made it to be a household chat show presenter is actually bizarre.

I think it's a tactic by this government. If you can't bare to listen to them you can't get worked up enough to want to oust them.

Those dogs from those AA car insurance radio ads. Especially the bit where he says " listen to me I only ate the key ring. . And Id do it again"

Does my head in.

Good call on Harris, the man has an extremely irritating voice, along with a punchable face.

That Panti Bliss guy. Awful voice.

And whatever prick does those Auld Mr Brennan radio ads. Been grinding my gears for at least a quarter of a century at this stage.

Henry Mckean on Newstalk. Though it is funny hearing him trying to converse with the locals when he's sent to some slum in Dublin.

Shane Ross!

That Emmet Kirwan bloke. Not sure if it's his accent or the "woke" kinda vibe he gives off.

Have to say I disagree with you there partner. I find Henry's dulcet tones very soothing and extremely easy listening. Especially when juxtaposed against the skanger accent of a true blue salth ah the arrrht dub.

Agree there Paddy, there’s a one that does the weather Liz something on RTÉ estremely high pitched voice.

The short bulletins are just about bearable but the sea area forecast ,Jaysus, the poor cat starts meeeowing to get out.

Another fella that gets me is the NI guy not Tommy Gorman the other guy.

Indeed. I actually do feel a bit bad for him when he's sent to interview knackers in Ballymum.

There's a guy who my kids watch Minecraft Youtube videos of.

Stampy Longhead.

If you can make it through 2minutes of one of his videos without wanting to stab yourself in the ear, you are a stronger man than me.

Ore-Tee-Eee isn't quite as bad as Dublin-classic, but both make just about any voice dreadful.

That guy is Dutch and his name is Harm Luiijkx.

Not everyone is happy to hear an accent though:

James Corden is a gowl.
His accent isn't the worst, but "ha haaaaaaaaaah" laugh of his makes him an even better gowl.

This over emphasised Lahndan accent going around these days, I know a few folk from Essex that are embarrassed, yeah its based on truth but nowhere near what some speak like.
